He draws a powerful parallel between the Minister and a mother, noting his nurturing, pastoral side that looks beyond faults and elevates us…. He contrasts the hypocrisy of commercialized Mother’s Day spending with the scriptural command to “honor thy father and thy mother”…. He echoes Elijah Muhammad that the best man is the one most respectful of his mother, influencing how he treats his wife and daughter. He warns that damaging a woman damages a nation, potentially explaining youth violence due to damaged mothers…. He challenges the community to allow Minister Farrakhan and the Nation of Islam to train their children. He defines a good mother as providing a stable, loving environment and praises the Minister for always leading to books and independent study…. He reinforces the divine instruction to honor the womb that bore us, regardless of condition, and that every day should be Mother’s Day [, ::]. He reiterates Prophet Muhammad’s emphasis on the mother three times over the father, bearing witness to the sacredness of women in God’s eyes…, and that peace requires resolving our relationship with women.
