So-called negro. Open up your eyes. Black men everywhere. This on the right is used to keep the white man out of Asia. And he’s going fast out of Africa with every ounce of strength and breath. He, Jesus Christ, give us liberty, for give us death. The whole black world has the eyes on you to see what the so-called Negro is going to do.
00:05:32:09 – 00:05:42:27

So, my friend, it’s easy to tell. Our unity will give us the white man. Oh, you gotta be the guy, y’all.

It’s easy to tell why heaven is a black man. How?
00:05:55:15 – 00:06:31:23
Speaker 2
In the 15th chapter of Genesis, it reads. And God said to Abraham, Abraham, know of a surety that thy seed will be a stranger in a land that is not theirs, and they shall serve them, and they shall afflict them 400 years. Before. But after that time I will come, and I will judge that nation which they shall soon.
00:06:31:25 – 00:07:32:02
Speaker 2
God and Savior, Allah has come. He has declared the white man’s day is done. He has given us a divine messenger, one prophesied to come. His name is Elijah. We now can stand up the whole wide world to tell. God has come to give us heaven and to take the devil in to who they are. It’s easy to tell why the man is a black man.
00:07:32:04 – 00:07:37:08

Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Day.
00:10:17:29 – 00:11:25:20
Speaker 2
Why are we called Negroes? Why are we spiritually deaf, dumb and blind? Why is everybody making progress yet we seem to be lagging so far behind. Why are we mistreated? Why are we in this condition? Stripped of our names, our language, our culture, our country, our God and our religion. Who tell me why? Here in America. All of our religious training has been gotten through the preacher, and he has told us of a heaven way up in the sky that we can’t enjoy now, but rather after we die.
00:11:25:23 – 00:11:50:05
Speaker 2
But all of the years that we are living for rest is nothing but helping, torture and misgiving. Yet the Bible speaks of a heaven filled with material luxury, which the white man and the preacher has right here. So we see.
00:11:50:07 – 00:12:18:22
Speaker 2
So my friend, take it for what it’s worth. Heaven and hell are just two conditions of life, and they’re both right here on this earth. Tell me why.
00:12:18:24 – 00:12:27:01
Speaker 2
Oh, he the car y’all just read about why men.
00:12:27:01 – 00:12:29:12
Unknown
Have an answer back now.
00:12:29:13 – 00:13:01:14
Speaker 2
Oh, the. So let’s check back into history, which rewards our research and tells us plainly that before the white man gained entry to the East, he was living in the caves of Europe on the level of the beast, eating the bark of trees and the heaving flesh raw till God sent Moses to civilize him and teach him the law.
00:13:01:17 – 00:13:36:21
Speaker 2
Then, following many of his explorers, he gained entry into Asia and Africa from China. He took silk and gunpowder from India. He took jute, manganese and rubber. It. He reached Africa over diamonds. And there goes. And from the Middle East he took barrels of oil, not only deceiving, raping, robbing and murdering everything in his path. The whole black world has tasted of the white man’s wrath.
00:13:36:23 – 00:13:52:07
Speaker 2
So, my friend here. It’s not hard to tell. Your trees are white and heaven is a black man’s. And isn’t that man? How?
00:13:52:09 – 00:14:31:10
Speaker 2
Before we came to America, we were living in the east by the Nile River, living in luxury, enjoying freedom, justice and equality. We were sinking robes and slippers of gold. We were the wealthiest and the wisest people. Until now. We are the poorest of the poor. No, nobody wants us at the door. So, my friend, it’s easy to tell a white man heaven is a black man.
00:14:31:12 – 00:14:37:18
Speaker 2
He. That’s all y’all. It’s easy to doubt white man.
00:14:37:18 – 00:14:41:13
Unknown
Heaven is a black man.
00:14:41:16 – 00:15:15:08
Speaker 2
Oh, when the white man came to America. He told the Indians. I am your white brother. He said, red man, I’ll teach you the best. You didn’t steal the Indians for the West with his white woman. And fire was a snake. And lies he stole on the river. The original owner of this nation. He scooped up all the reservation.
00:15:15:11 – 00:15:30:19
Speaker 2
That’s all, my friend. It’s easy to tell that a white man. Heaven is a black man. Hell. In the fire season, I tell you why, man.
00:15:30:26 – 00:15:40:10
Unknown
I never got man. Hell.
00:15:40:12 – 00:16:46:19
Speaker 2
He needed someone to work the land. His back was too weak. He needed you, black man. So he commissioned Sir John Hawkins to come to work. His most grievous sin. To take a man who’s born to be free and bring him down to slavery. To sell a man as merchandise on his body. Put a price. So, my friend, it’s easy to tell that a white man having.
00:16:46:22 – 00:16:55:18
Speaker 2
Is a black man. His.
00:16:55:20 – 00:17:09:21

John Hawkins showed up in our country telling us of a land filled with luxury. He said black men follow me to America. They. You find gold for your labor of obedience. What you on to his gold. Since that time, we’ve been wrestling with the gold. We landed here in Jamestown, Virginia, 400 is to. So, my friend, it’s easy to tell a white man having is a black man.
00:18:25:18 – 00:18:28:03

Keep the for up.

In the name of the Lord. One.
00:20:48:14 – 00:20:54:14
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
To one God, to whom all things.
00:20:54:17 – 00:21:11:21
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
We give praise and thanks to all for his coming and appearing to us, and the person of master the forehead. Mohammed. For in three years and four months that he was among us. He chose one that could stand in his place, one who would not leave his post. He, regardless of whom or what he was, stay the course.
00:21:11:23 – 00:21:31:24
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
And the man that he chose after those three years and four months was the Georgia born giant, born Elijah Poole. But because of the wonderful and magnificent work that he was doing and is doing among us, he became known as the Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad. We give all our praise and thanks for that wonderful human being, for that is the reason why we are here today.
00:21:31:26 – 00:22:06:23
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
But brothers and sisters, I did not meet those first two master Foreign Muhammad, nor did I meet the Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad, but the man who was causing me to fall deeper in love with those two as a result of his demonstration of love to you and I. To make one look at him, look at those two, and then look at ourselves and have that same love for ourselves, because there was a time where we didn’t want to be called black, because our former captors had made it a scourge and made us look at ourselves as less than what we really were and are.
00:22:06:26 – 00:22:33:07
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
But these three, this trilogy has made us become black people again. We’re not Negroes. We’re not porch monkeys. We’re not hambone. We’re not shun. We’re not any of those things. We are the black man and woman in the hills of North America and all over this planet Earth. But the man who was causing us to look at this with a different lens is our illustrious leader, teacher, and guide, the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan.
00:22:33:10 – 00:22:55:04
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
It is in their name which we all once again with the greeting where the peace and Paradise I Salaam alaikum. And that simply means peace be unto you. And I say simply not as a as a downgrade of the phrase itself or that or with the Honorable Louis Farrakhan, who tells us he said is not just a catch phrase, it is actually a prayer.
00:22:55:06 – 00:23:13:24
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
And then he follows it by saying, we are in a war zone. And we’ve been told by the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan that the war of Armageddon has begun, and all we have to do is open our eyes and look out into the streets, look what’s going on around the world, and we can see that a war is brewing and they are underway as we speak.
00:23:13:27 – 00:23:38:12
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
We have what’s going on over in the Middle East, as they call it. We have what’s going on? In the Ukraine, we have all these things that are going on right here in Philadelphia, on the streets. It’s a war zone. There was a time when the, United Nations, they had a magazine or something or something to that effect where the membership got this magazine and they had a definition of what a war is.
00:23:38:14 – 00:24:02:27
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
And in that definition, it stated that a war is an open and armed conflict. We’re in in one year, 25 or more people die. That’s when they’re supposed to step in, bring into vision, and try to help quell the death. Well, brothers and sisters, we know right now we can lose 25 in the first five hours of this of a day in this city.
00:24:03:00 – 00:24:24:08
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
So what? Where’s it? Where’s the intervention? No, nobody is talking about the death of our people. Nobody is doing that, talking about us killing each other. But the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan, of course, the Justice Department and all of them. Praise be to Allah. They will point it out. Only just try to use it as a tool to sway the attention to themselves.
00:24:24:08 – 00:24:48:13
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
And they know they are doing nothing. Now. We just finished celebrating the 29th anniversary of the Million Man March. Correct? Now, the greatest event that has ever taken place in this country in its history, where the honorable Louis Farrakhan made a call for 1 million black men and two showed up. Come on now and then they’ll show you the humble spirit that he had.
00:24:48:16 – 00:25:05:20
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
He didn’t say, look what I’d done. Farrakhan. No, he said, look what God has done. And he took it right back. Then he told all the brothers on the mall, go back and join an organization where black people that are doing things for black people to help elevate us from the condition that we’re in. He didn’t say, come join the nation.
00:25:05:20 – 00:25:34:11
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
He said, you’re welcome to come. He said, but go anywhere where people are being looked at. And then something is being done to change the condition that we’re in. Well, in that the Justice Department, I’m going back to them. Did you know this is just a a history fact that they didn’t tell us? Did you know that crime dropped 48% across the nation right after October of 1995?
00:25:34:18 – 00:25:35:10
Speaker 2
Yes.
00:25:35:12 – 00:25:51:16
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
They tried to take credit for it. Did you know that the stock market crashed? That day? No, we crashed the stock market. Why? Because it was a day of absence. It was a day of not going to work. Don’t go to school. And don’t buy anything.
00:25:51:18 – 00:25:51:29
Speaker 2
Right.
00:25:51:29 – 00:26:12:04
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
And all we did was we shut the country down and we got to see what? When the Honorable Elijah Muhammad said that our unity is more powerful than an atomic bomb. And then the Honorable Louis Farrakhan said that our unity is more powerful than a hydrogen bomb. Well, why don’t they use those two descriptive destructive weapons to describe our unity?
00:26:12:06 – 00:26:39:15
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Well, when you use an atomic bomb, it blows up and it creates heat, and it burns everything within a 50 mile radius. All right, but an atomic bomb. A hydrogen bomb is different. Once it explodes, it goes up into the atmosphere or the stratosphere, rearranges the atoms and causes the atmosphere to cave in on itself. It sucked the air right out, and it creates the vacuum, and the atmosphere becoming itself becomes a weapon.
00:26:39:17 – 00:26:58:05
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Well, that’s what I used to use. And we did it 1995. And we we could do it again. But then we have our enemy. He’s working night and day to run interference, you know, now you have our own people who are asking us question. Well, what did it accomplish? Me okay. Oh y’all went, but what did it do?
00:26:58:08 – 00:27:19:09
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
I just named two things. Did you know also that there were 25,000 black orphans that needed homes back then? You know that all those children got a home because we showed up. Oh, praise is due to a lot. They don’t. What? Why are they telling us those statistics? Why aren’t they saying it? Because it was the man who doesn’t carry a weapon.
00:27:19:12 – 00:27:38:24
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
He doesn’t laugh when it’s not funny. He doesn’t bend when he doesn’t want to bend, and he doesn’t scratch where he doesn’t itch. It is a man that in his mouth there is truth. So why would the big government of America and all over the world, those governments that are against the little tiny nation of Islam, why are those they so afraid?
00:27:38:26 – 00:27:59:25
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Because it is truth that is bringing them down, the exposure of their wicked behavior. When everybody else who walk around with their chest out acted like they got, you know, some testicular fortitude. Okay. This is I’m gonna throw y’all into some ovarian audacity. You acting like it, but you you’re not. You’re not producing it. You’re not showing it.
00:27:59:28 – 00:28:26:03
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
But Farrakhan, he’s doing it, and he don’t back down. You know why? Because the scriptures tell us that no greater love has any man. That he will lay down his life for his brother. And the minister puts his life on the line every day that he comes forward and brings us the news that he brings us. This is sometimes troubling, but it’s the good news because, you know, Jesus said it this way my people die.
00:28:26:06 – 00:28:47:13
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Not from the lack of, you know, a nice car. We don’t die from having a not having a good education. He said that we die from the lack of knowledge. So when the minister comes out, he’s given us knowledge. Now, let me just take it this way. And, the commemoration of the 29th anniversary of the million Man March.
00:28:47:15 – 00:28:52:04
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
This. Y’all see any of the plenary workshops? Did you see the ones on disaster preparedness?
00:28:52:05 – 00:28:52:18
Speaker 2
Yes, sir.
00:28:52:25 – 00:29:15:09
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
You know the how to maintain a successful marriage. Wow. That’s invaluable. If you were to go to anywhere in corporate America where they were giving out that kind of information, it would be $5,000 per seat in the room. No, really, literally $5,000 a seat. And most of us would pay it there. We walk out and think that we got some good news.
00:29:15:11 – 00:29:41:01
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Oh, I got something out of that. All right, brothers, we go do that too long. But I’m just saying what we have now is the gift of Almighty God. A love and a human being. And that human being is walking mercy among us. Yeah, he’s a mercy. Meaning he is one who, because of his presence, he’s holding back the total destruction of the whole planet right.
00:29:41:05 – 00:29:58:15
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
And then you have people who want to come back behind you and say, oh, Farrakhan, he ain’t just he been saying the same thing over all this time. I’ve been listening to him. He ain’t saying nothing different. Well, isn’t that what his teacher told him before he left? Brother, while I’m gone, don’t you change the teaching? That’s right.
00:29:58:19 – 00:30:21:13
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Well, anybody who says that about him, they’re just bearing witness that he is obedient to the instructions that were given to him by the Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad. He has not changed the teaching, but he has made it fit a modern time. And in our lesson, God, we taught to be quick thinking, fast moving, cleanliness inward and outwardly right down to the modern time where that’s all Farrakhan is doing.
00:30:21:13 – 00:30:47:25
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
He made it fit the modern context, and he has such an attracting power that if you look at the show, you the the strength of what he has. He has the ability to attract the young people, the same young people that are nieces, nephews, sons and daughters that we have a problem with. They love Farrakhan. Do y’all remember when they tried to, excommunicate him from, Twitter, which is now X?
00:30:47:27 – 00:31:04:03
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Y’all remember that it was the hip hop nation, the young people they got on and say, yo, y’all better back up off my man. That’s my man’s. Don’t bother him because we if you do you’re going to feel the repercussion show you his love all.
00:31:04:03 – 00:31:05:02
Speaker 2
Over.
00:31:05:05 – 00:31:22:05
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
The planet. And that’s what I’m saying. I saw young white people getting up there saying the same thing. Yo me up in the back up a Farrakhan. I know, you know, we we usually get happy when we see white people do thing. But I’m just saying you how the minister affects the minds of the people because he is divinely guided.
00:31:22:12 – 00:31:36:20
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Right. Y’all all right? Yes. All right. Family. I was going somewhere else with that. But, I don’t know if it’s on my heart to say it. Thank you all for being here this morning. And thank you for submitting to the check procedure, because the check procedure is very necessary because we live in a very diverse time.
00:31:36:20 – 00:31:59:28
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
We are at war. We can’t let nobody walk up into the camp and they don’t get checked. Everybody get checked. I got checked, you got checked, we got check. So this is really the safest place that you could be anywhere in America today, on all 196,940,000mi² of this planet. This is the safest place because we’ve leveled the playing field.
00:32:00:00 – 00:32:21:00
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Don’t get me wrong. We don’t want to hurt nobody. Let nobody hurt us even. That’s right. And the scriptures tell us that, you know, we’re obedient to the law. We respect the laws of the land. We even, follow the instruction of those who are nonbelievers until it conflicts with my religion. What is my religion, of course, is Islam.
00:32:21:00 – 00:32:41:28
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
But on a bigger scale is freedom, justice and equality. And if you think you’re going to interfere with that, you got a fight on your hand. And we don’t know nothing about tapping that tapping out. Right? We fight to the death, right? That’s the way we train. We are peaceful people. But don’t ignite is you find, you know, the lesson we ask.
00:32:41:29 – 00:32:58:14
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
What is the weight of a cracked atom? Well, you don’t want to interfere with that. You don’t want to crack one of these atoms up in here. Crack, you know, because there’s something inside that I just told you what an atomic bomb will do, right? It uses heat. And you know what’s happened? Sister and study group. How many?
00:32:58:14 – 00:33:20:00
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Well, Friday for study group. Well, anyway, she one of our sisters in a remote study group, she made an a point, a point that I had even considered. She was talking about how when people, you know, when they. The first thing that happens when a person gets a fever is the hearing goes, I never I never thought about that.
00:33:20:03 – 00:33:35:26
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
And then I thought about when people argue. I think maybe that’s why I shoot people. When they argue. It’s like them having a fever because they both were heated. That person that we’re talking to, you can’t hear and we can’t hear, man. We don’t want to hear nothing they saying and they don’t hear anything we heard that was bad.
00:33:35:29 – 00:33:52:19
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
When did that the hearing go? Yeah. So, and what we have to do is to try to cool that fever. How do we do it? A fever, you know, a physical fever. You have to try to get the person to drink liquids. Something to cool them down. Give them something. You know, that’ll bring that fever down.
00:33:52:19 – 00:34:11:04
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Put them in a cold water if they have to. But the deal is, how do you call a spiritual fever? Does, you know, is prayer. Come on. Yeah, I saw something, recently it said that, one day without.
00:34:11:04 – 00:34:12:04
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Prayer.
00:34:12:06 – 00:34:35:04
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Makes one weak. Yeah. Y’all get it? I’m just saying, if we don’t pray, we get weak. Come on now. So we have to pray constantly. So the Honorable Louis Farrakhan shares with us that we should pray from moment to moment, within the time that we’ve entered. Now we’ve entered into the war of Armageddon, the war of all wars, that war.
00:34:35:04 – 00:34:53:17
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
This physical is spiritual and it’s psychological, he said. And that we should pray not five daily prayers, but in addition that we should pray from moment to moment. So somebody might walk up to you one day if you’re doing that and you maybe lips might be moving, and if you say, yo, brother, yo, I saw you talking to yourself.
00:34:53:19 – 00:35:14:14
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Yeah, I was, I was, I was talking to my God, you know. And did you know that it says that if you if you want to talk to Allah, that, it ain’t no Roman charges, ain’t no drop call and is unlimited minutes. Ain’t that beautiful? Come on now, we need to use that on a regular basis.
00:35:14:16 – 00:35:33:21
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
I’m just just putting it out there for him. But anyway, on Friday and study group, it was such a powerful things. And it’s going to be descriptive of what we were just talking about. You know, listen to this. I just want to read it because it’s very powerful. It says we become like this, which we submit to. Isn’t that interesting?
00:35:33:23 – 00:35:52:20
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Is that what are we submitting to? Who’s in our ear? What’s the what’s going? Are the two parts of our brain this this out in being exposed to ears and eyes. Right. So what’s going into our eyes? What are we visually looking at and what are we listening to? It’s shaping us because based on this statement, we become like that which we submit to.
00:35:52:22 – 00:36:15:22
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
We have no concern for moral law. So if you’re dealing with immoral, listening apparatuses or things that are affecting our eyes, that goes right into the brain is messing up our moral compass. Let’s go on. One of the characteristics of a dragon is that it drags you down. Stop right there. Anybody here know any dragons? I don’t know about human beings.
00:36:15:24 – 00:36:39:19
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
I’m just saying, you know, people who, in their conversation, it literally sucks the juice out of you. When you walk away, you be like, man, I’m tired. What happened? Because words affect us. They affect the very essence of us. You’ve heard this, analogy before, this example that Doctor Emoto, who did the experiment with water, you know, he took the water?
00:36:39:19 – 00:36:57:00
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
No, he shouted things that it that were not nice. Then he froze it, looked at it under the microscope, and he found that the crystals in it were very dark. They had no shine to them. But then he took the same water, melted it, and shouted. God gave nice comments about it or you are the best. You’re the righteous, you’re the powerful.
00:36:57:03 – 00:37:15:10
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
I love you, that that other part was me. That wasn’t him. But I’m just saying. Saying something nice. And what did he throw that looked under it and found that the crystals were bright? They lit up. So we’re 75% water, right? So that’s why we’re taught that when we say a prayer for each other, when we say I, Salam aleikum.
00:37:15:12 – 00:37:30:13
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Oh, there we go. Oh y’all got it. Oh, y’all caught it. Okay. Praise be to Allah. I want I want my crystals in there up to. Can I get it back. So when the greeting comes we give it in the like manner. We give it back with the same spirit. You know. You know, just say brother, sister said you I salaam alaikum.
00:37:30:15 – 00:37:52:07
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
And you say like Islam. Come on, come on, give it back. The same way that you got it. With the love, with the the vim and the vigor and the strength that you received it. And then that way we walk away. We both lit up. We we juiced up. Because when we come to the mosque, we should leave out feeling better than the way we came in.
00:37:52:08 – 00:37:53:18
Speaker 2
Shouldn’t we?
00:37:53:20 – 00:38:17:01
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
So that’s why we try to be, you know, and we should, but we don’t want to be hypocritical. And then when we get out of here, we go back to being in, you know, that other something. We want to keep that spirit going. Y’all all right? All right. Let me read this a little bit more. This is that when we submit to the power and the rule of a beast, a dragon, and then we become a beast, we begin to drag others down.
00:38:17:03 – 00:38:40:02
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
When someone else mounts up on truth, we seek to pull them down to our level. So be pulling them down to a level that must mean that we were already on the bottom, right? Yes, sir. So. Or if somebody is doing that to us, you know how we we all went through it when we came into the Nation of Islam, somebody was always saying what, you grew up in the church, Jesus is our Savior.
00:38:40:04 – 00:39:05:10
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Yeah, he is, but not that. Not that one from 2000 years ago. No, no, no, there’s one on scene today is alive and well. That’s the Jesus we’re trying to deal with. And the most honorable Elijah Muhammad. Y’all. All right, all right. Praise be to Allah. But listen to this. Check this out. A dragon, according to the definition, is a mercenary animal, usually pictured as a large serpent with wings and claws.
00:39:05:12 – 00:39:26:18
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Well, spiritually, that person that can bring your spirit down and it usually spits fire. That’s somebody who you around. And then all they have to say, you know, the symbol of a dragon is that was brings chaos and destruction. So somebody can disarranged rearrange your thoughts by negative words and you walk away and it feels like you didn’t got burn.
00:39:26:21 – 00:39:56:26
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Yeah, that’s a dragon. They pulled you down. And we have to distance ourselves from that because we are strong enough to pull them up. They will pull us down. Y’all all right, let’s move on. Let’s check this out. A beast, a non-human animal, especially a large four footed mammal. That could be a human being, right? A person who was going from the perpendicular down to the horizontal and not a walking on all fours in their spirit and in their psychic psychology behavior.
00:39:56:29 – 00:40:25:19
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
That’s an animal. That’s a beast. And in our lesson, well, we’ll come back to that one. You said the crude animal nature common to humans and lower animals. And some of the words that describes it, this cruel course filthy. And then there’s some synonyms. It’s called the barbarian monster. Ogre. Savage brute. Check this pig. Swine cad. Oh, there’s some horrible words like that.
00:40:25:21 – 00:40:44:14
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
But if we or people that we deal with is like that, we the we need to change through self-improvement, which is the basis for community development. Or we bring them in and try to get them to come in and get some of the medicine and heal themselves. And then when we do that, we start to heal the environment around us.
00:40:44:17 – 00:41:15:22
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Yes sir. We are fine. Okay. Praise be to Allah. Now here’s this other one. It’s a serpent. The general definition is a large snake. And you know, a snake is a creature that crawls on its belly. And everywhere it goes, the leaves a crooked path, right? Yes, that’s a snake. But, you know, we got people like that. And the definition of a person who is like a serpent is a person who is sly, treacherous, especially one who exploits the position of truth in order to betray it.
00:41:15:24 – 00:41:33:21
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Wow. He knows is a position of truth, but in his heart and mind, or in her heart and mind, they going to betray you because they didn’t have a good intention in the first place. Sounds familiar. Listen, what did I do with that? Let me see just real quick. I wrote this down. I love these little quotes.
00:41:33:27 – 00:41:57:11
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Where is that? Oh, here we go. You know, we about to come into this, this election next month. And one of the things I know, I know, it’s, but listen to it. This is America. The donkey and the elephant won’t help. We must turn back to the land. That’s Pope. Who’s the lamb? That’s the Honorable Elijah Muhammad.
00:41:57:14 – 00:42:16:23
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
This is the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan. In our midst is the embodiment of Master Farad Muhammad and the Honorable Elijah Muhammad. We need to turn to him if he’s given us right instruction that we can get through this difficult time and come out on the other side unscathed. Well, mostly unscathed. We’ll have some we’ll get some bruises because we had a fight.
00:42:16:26 – 00:42:32:01
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
I don’t care who we are. I don’t care how good you are when you fighting, you going to get hit. And sometimes any fighters in here don’t raise your hand already. Let me look at them. I know y’all fight. I know it’s in you. Some of us composed. But I don’t care how good you are, somebody’s going to hit you at some point.
00:42:32:04 – 00:42:51:13
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
And the thing is, it’s not that that you can’t fight. But the thing is, can you take a punch? That’s where. That’s where the real fighting begin. And fighting long distance. Don’t work it. Don’t do it. Don’t get don’t be a real fight to that tussling start. So you lock up. You know. So you get in and then you can see who the real warrior is based on that.
00:42:51:19 – 00:43:17:12
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Well, so it is with our spiritual and psychological wars. Also sometime we deal with each other, you know, we gotta learn how to lock, you know, you know, and jujitsu, you have to learn how to lock a person up, right? You might not want to hurt them, but you got to be able to subdue them. Maybe it’s a finger lock, a wrist lock, an elbow lock, a shoulder lock, but she doesn’t want to tie him down so you can get them to here because, you know, they they got a fever and you want to lower their fever.
00:43:17:19 – 00:43:34:20
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
So the Lord at temperature, you put it. You know, pain has a way of lowering the temperature right, without taking them all the way out because we don’t want to go to jail. And we certainly don’t want to take somebody off the planet who is still testing. And, you know, the Honorable Louis Farrakhan said, all of us have taken a test, right?
00:43:34:23 – 00:43:55:13
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
So could anybody grade your test while you were still testing? That’s why he tells us, be careful how we judge each other while we are in transition, and we are moving from stage after stage to our eventual point of perfection, which is all I mean. So and, you know, and once we once the period is put there we are y’all I family, we’re family.
00:43:55:13 – 00:44:12:27
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
That’s my time. I’m gonna get off this Russian and bring to you, brother who is our Delaware Valley student regional minister. He’s a hard working soldier. But I’ll tell you what. If you don’t have a pencil and pad, take it out now, because you need to write down what he’s going to bring to us. He didn’t just study the materials.
00:44:13:02 – 00:44:21:17
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
He labored over the material. That’s why he’s our Delaware Valley student regional minister. So let’s bring him on. Student Minister Rodney Muhammad with a rousing round of applause.
00:44:21:18 – 00:44:30:17
Unknown
I, I one.
00:44:30:20 – 00:44:33:13
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Salaam Lake.
00:44:33:15 – 00:44:55:21
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
In the name of Allah, the beneficent, the most merciful, the one God to whom praise is due to the Lord of the worlds. We thank our Almighty God. We cannot thank him enough. He’s the revealer of all truth, the center of all prophets, before whom we have made no distinction. So we thank him for Abraham. We thank him for Moses, for Jesus and Mohammed.
00:44:55:22 – 00:45:24:27
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
We thank him for the revealed books. Moses and the Torah, for Jesus and the gospel and for Muhammad and the revelation of the Holy Koran. We are students of the Honorable Elijah Muhammad to life giving message. And in that said, we are most thankful to allow for his own intervention in these last days in the person of Master Fard Muhammad, to whom praise is due forever.
00:45:25:00 – 00:46:02:01
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Careful study, and examination of history, both ancient and modern, we would see that we should have expected his coming, but he came unobserved, and he was not detected, as the Scripture predicted. And, his coming has resulted in him finding one who had the best heart. It’s not about who’s the most intelligent. It’s not about who’s the most informed.
00:46:02:04 – 00:46:29:21
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
It’s about who has the best heart. He needed a special heart to work with the condition that he saw, which was also predicted. And so we are thankful that he could find one with that kind of heart. After what we’ve been through. To find a man with, an exquisite heart that would be his servant now.
00:46:29:21 – 00:47:04:25
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
An exalted servant, the most honorable Elijah Muhammad. We had started talking about, his history and the history of what, his meeting with God would bring about and has brought about. And we have been for the past weekend, you could say, for the past weeks, dealing with, the anniversary of great monumental events. But it came out of the right kind of heart.
00:47:04:27 – 00:47:39:16
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
And so we are thankful for the Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad, his exalted servant. Now, and because of him, and the great station that he held, the level of humility. Humility. Pardon me, it, has to be an extraordinary, abundant amount of humility to be able to say that no matter how great God is lifting me, I see in my heart the need for a helper.
00:47:39:18 – 00:48:06:28
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
And so I’m standing before you. Because of that, he saw that he still would need a special kind of help, if he was to be, a special kind of servant. It stands to reason that to help someone who is so special, he would have to have a special helper. And so, we stand here because of that helper.
00:48:07:01 – 00:48:29:15
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
It was his student, his apostle and his servant. But because of that, he’s made him our leader, teacher, and guide. That we may be students and we may serve the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan. And so, in their names, I extend to you the nation of Islam citation of peace in the, language and tongue of our fathers. Assalamualaikum.
00:48:29:18 – 00:49:02:18
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Thank you all very much. We are so, happy we’re still coming off a great high from the anniversary, of the, million. Man March. But it’s the holy day of atonement. Such a great concept and exercise that if the world who did see that day because C-Span and others, had their cameras up.
00:49:02:20 – 00:49:03:19
Speaker 2
That’s right.
00:49:03:22 – 00:49:10:21
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
And though they were looking for something else, God had something even greater in mind.
00:49:10:22 – 00:49:11:13
Speaker 2
That’s right.
00:49:11:15 – 00:49:55:13
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
And by the world, seeing this great, effort of black men who had been treated, we could say worse than any men in the annals of history to to be able to achieve this monumental, unprecedented event. The social, scientific thinkers, the demographers, governments, their agents and all could never have predicted such an outcome. And so, we are thankful to the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan for being God’s vessel to call, us for this event.
00:49:55:16 – 00:50:19:29
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
And but we are also grateful for all the black men that answered the call. And we came together, for something that really the world can never forget. But they are trying to, make sure that the world never remembers this event. We even now have given birth to two generations that don’t even know the march took place.
00:50:20:01 – 00:50:54:21
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
So, we’ve got we’ve got work to do because we can see that there’s no way that generations, subsequent to this one could not be in the knowledge of this event, unless somebody else is working on it. And we have to be cognizant that someone else is working. And I never forgot how the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan gave us, the illustration, if you will.
00:50:54:21 – 00:50:56:20
Speaker 2
Of.
00:50:56:22 – 00:51:30:03
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Any plot of land with nothing there but dirt. And then you take a seed and you planted in the earth knowing that you cannot force its growth, that you can only put the seed there and wait for what you planted to come up. And then when you see the success of your planting or seeding the earth, what comes up brings something else up with it that you didn’t.
00:51:30:03 – 00:51:31:27
Speaker 2
Plant,
00:51:31:29 – 00:51:48:02
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Weeds. Right? And the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan reminded us, you know, when you read our planet correctly, the weeds teach us that everything and everyone got an enemy.
00:51:48:04 – 00:51:51:08
Speaker 2
That.
00:51:51:11 – 00:52:25:24
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
The job of weeds is to choke out the life chances of the plant. So when we turn to God, and I don’t care what faith it is, if it’s anything true, when the Word of God is planted in you and his cause and purpose begins to rise in your life, something that we didn’t plant comes up with it.
00:52:25:26 – 00:52:35:19
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
And many times people think, well, if I turn to God, all my troubles should be over. I have to regrettably inform you.
00:52:35:22 – 00:52:36:28
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
So you.
00:52:37:00 – 00:53:07:17
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Know your troubles are not over. When you turn to God, that’s when they start. The weeds don’t come to you. Plant something and, I’m thankful for our great helper to the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan and, the brother who was with us all weekend, Brother Nouri Muhammad. Let’s give him a round of applause. We had a great time.
00:53:07:19 – 00:53:16:15
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
With God’s help. And God is blessing him today. He’s at, mosque number four in, Washington, DC. I have.
00:53:16:20 – 00:53:18:01
Speaker 2
00:53:18:13 – 00:54:10:29
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Little no doubt that, they will have a great time today with God’s servant and brother Nouri Muhammad. We have such. Great work ahead of us. And I started out last Sunday reading from, 1981, Saviors Day. When the Honorable Louis Farrakhan. I’ll say when it became clear to him what to do for bringing back the word and the work of the Honorable Elijah Muhammad, which was 1977.
00:54:11:01 – 00:54:54:19
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
He was told, read this by Brother Bernard Kush, mayor and he had the paperwork. But has anyone ever asked you to look into something? And you you really got a heart to to do it. But things come up, you got things on your mind. So it’s sitting there, but you just haven’t gotten to it yet. And brother, at that time, Bernard Kush kept seeing this paperwork that was in a brown paper bag.
00:54:54:19 – 00:55:25:27
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
And then one time it got stuck between the seat of the car, and he saw it and pulled it out, straighten it out again. But the minister just hadn’t gotten to it. But finally he stayed in his hotel room and he read it. And when he read it and the tears start flowing from his eyes, he said to Brother Bernard Cushman, your operation was a success.
00:55:25:29 – 00:55:37:10
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
And he saw scales coming from his eyes, and he knew what he must do, and from what he said, from his own lips. He started preaching that night.
00:55:37:13 – 00:55:39:00
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Yes.
00:55:39:03 – 00:55:50:04
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
And from what I know from 1977. That night he has stopped preaching. Yet praise be to Allah.
00:55:50:06 – 00:56:41:01
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
And the power of God, his energy right. You know, if you any way connected with it, it should teach us you don’t burn out. Your light keeps going. You know, At the grave of John F Kennedy, they have what they call the eternal flame. Now, fire has to feed on something to keep burning. You know? So if the flame is there burning, since they put John F Kennedy down there, burning is feeding on something.
00:56:41:04 – 00:57:18:08
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Some form of energy, some form of material. But fire gotta feed to stay lit. And, this fire that is in the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan that didn’t just get here. This fire has been burning since 19 and 77, and it hadn’t burn out yet. You say? Well, he ain’t said nothing since safest day. Well, the source of the fire.
00:57:18:13 – 00:57:20:26
Speaker 2
Yes, sir.
00:57:20:28 – 00:57:29:24
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Which is God almighty. And his Christ instructed him to be quiet. Yes.
00:57:29:24 – 00:57:31:28
Speaker 2
00:57:32:01 – 00:57:35:18
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Well, does that mean the fire went out? No.
00:57:35:20 – 00:57:36:13
Speaker 2
Come on.
00:57:36:15 – 00:58:07:16
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
You got stoves at home. We look at the stove and don’t see no activity. We could say the fire went out, but there’s a pilot light in there. We just ain’t turned it up. Yeah, but look, sometime after you’ve been slain, throwing. You want to stop for a minute? So to see what got burnt up.
00:58:07:19 – 00:58:11:09
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
This fire.
00:58:11:12 – 00:58:28:16
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Predicted some things. And sometimes, if God gives us something so that people will see that only God could be the one who furnished you.
00:58:28:24 – 00:58:29:16
Speaker 2
Right.
00:58:29:19 – 00:59:04:15
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
With this commentary and this information, you got to be quiet, okay? And it remind me how Jesus mouth closed. You know, he was talking because the people in the Bible said, how is this man who was teaching us? In other words, I’m just paraphrasing here as this man that he cannot even now stand and defend himself, and they bring him court after court.
00:59:04:15 – 00:59:11:03
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
And if you study the line of questioning, he hadn’t committed a crime.
00:59:11:05 – 00:59:12:01
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Right.
00:59:12:03 – 00:59:18:09
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
And anybody that’s ever been to court, I watch enough law and order.
00:59:18:12 – 00:59:23:12
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
If you bring up stuff that’s not germane, it was out of order. Objection.
00:59:23:15 – 00:59:26:07
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Right. Come on.
00:59:26:09 – 00:59:31:12
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Objection. Sustained. Or the judge might say. Overruled.
00:59:31:17 – 00:59:33:09
Speaker 2
Right, right.
00:59:33:11 – 00:59:59:23
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Witness. Gotta go on and answer the question. I feel, in my judgment that this level of testimony is germane to the case, but I will sustain your objection if it’s not germane to the case. But Jesus was in a court without a lawyer. And they were asking him, kind of questions.
00:59:59:24 – 01:00:01:04
Speaker 2
Yes.
01:00:01:06 – 01:00:05:22
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
So I said to myself, that’s a grand jury.
01:00:05:25 – 01:00:06:12
Speaker 2
Right?
01:00:06:14 – 01:00:15:11
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Because we, the grand jury, the closest your lawyer can come is in the hallway, right? They can’t go in the courtroom with, you.
01:00:15:14 – 01:00:19:02
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad

Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Yes, sir. Yes, sir. Yes, sir.

Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
So. He brought up from Savior’s day. What does the great Mardi and the great Messiah have to say about the war in the Middle East? You all remember that title?
01:00:40:19 – 01:00:41:23
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
01:00:41:25 – 01:00:52:26
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
And before we got to here, that address, we received a letter from the minister. Yes, sir.
01:00:52:28 – 01:00:54:25
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Right. Yes, sir.
01:00:54:28 – 01:01:02:08
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Which talked about, the phase of his work coming to an end.
01:01:02:13 – 01:01:04:13
Speaker 2
Come on.
01:01:04:15 – 01:01:14:24
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
A three year trial. Right. Which if he’s our leader, teacher and guide, he won’t be there.
01:01:14:27 – 01:01:16:07
Speaker 2
Right?
01:01:16:10 – 01:01:34:23
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
In that three year period. And, he wanted to remind us that they don’t want the Nation of Islam to be successful. They is a.
01:01:34:26 – 01:01:36:01
Speaker 2
A pro.
01:01:36:02 – 01:01:42:26
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Form, pro pronoun. They includes a lot of people.
01:01:42:28 – 01:01:45:09
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Look at that. Look at that.
01:01:45:12 – 01:01:56:06
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
And it could mean they, the government, they, the Jews. But it might have a whole lot of people in that basket.
01:01:56:09 – 01:01:56:29
Speaker 2
Oh.
01:01:57:01 – 01:02:30:23
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
I’m talking about they outside the house and inside the house that don’t want the success of the Nation of Islam. Then he said they don’t want black people to be successful. And I’m looking at us. We’re running all over the country with this election, trying to be successful. Meaning if we can get our agenda into the white House, we could really begin to make progress, right?
01:02:30:25 – 01:02:55:03
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Black people got a history. Making some strides that we feel we made progress on. But now they said that they’ve been rolling back those, milestones of what we call progress for us.
01:02:55:06 – 01:02:57:25
Speaker 2
Yes. Yes, sir.
01:02:57:27 – 01:03:08:09
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
They took the most powerful provision in the voting rights bill out. That’s a roll back, right?
01:03:08:11 – 01:03:10:09
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Yes, sir.
01:03:10:12 – 01:03:35:25
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
They took now that provision they took out. Just so you all understand, in the history of black people voting, they didn’t take away the voting rights bill. They just took the most potent provision of it out. That’s like leaving you. You got a gun and you ain’t got no ammunition. Boy. Say this thing look nice. Look like he could chop down a lot of people.
01:03:36:00 – 01:03:45:10
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
There’s no ammunition. The most you can do is pick it up and hit somebody with it. But you can’t put nothing in it.
01:03:45:13 – 01:03:46:13
Speaker 2
Like.
01:03:46:16 – 01:04:13:15
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
The provision that they took out from was a provision that kept people from asking you how many bubbles is in a bar of soap. Right. Yes. And if you can’t answer that you don’t have a right to vote here. This is what we used to go through. Now this one man was told they put something down in English.
01:04:13:18 – 01:04:23:12
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
They said what does this mean. He read it. Didn’t they put something down in Spanish. They said what does this mean? He read.
01:04:23:12 – 01:04:24:19
Speaker 2
It.
01:04:24:21 – 01:04:53:11
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
They put something down in French and said, nigger, what does this mean? Pardon me from using that term. But that’s what they said to. And he read the French. So they put some German down there and he read the German. So they put some Chinese down there and said, what does this mean? And he said, this means you just don’t want me to vote.
01:04:53:18 – 01:05:22:00
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
You out. Yeah, but these were that’s called the literacy test. Then they had other means and then they set up a poll tax where in addition to fika, you know, that’s on your check fika and all the other stuff they take out, they charge you a poll tax to vote. And most black folks couldn’t afford the poll tax.
01:05:22:03 – 01:05:54:25
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
So the voting rights bill had a provision in it that nobody could do that anywhere in the country. And so it was to protect, voting rights that has been taken out by the Supreme Court. That’s a rollback. What I’m trying to show you is no matter what progress, if you think God made progress for you, then and God is all powerful, then what kind of powerful took away it, took it away from you.
01:05:54:27 – 01:06:25:03
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Now companies and the higher institutions of learning have rolled back affirmative action. They’ve outlawed, race consideration at the admissions office. That’s a rollback. Are you following there? So. So they got black folks running around scared now talking about everything is on the line.
01:06:25:05 – 01:06:26:00
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Oh, boy.
01:06:26:05 – 01:06:28:11
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Come on, come on, come on, come on.
01:06:28:14 – 01:07:01:24
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
So, we’re looking for, a power that can make our lives better and what we call secure us a future. But it look like we running into the lion’s den. That and we don’t know how to fight lions. We have. So the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan has been made to stay quiet. And we’re watching on the.
01:07:01:24 – 01:07:03:11
Speaker 2
News.
01:07:03:14 – 01:07:35:01
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Things coming to pass. And if you were with us last Sunday, you heard Minister Ishmael bringing out some of the things that have been revealed in the news that had we listened on Saviors Day, that news would not have been breaking news for us. See, is breaking news for the rest of the world. But for us, the news should have broke when he talks save day.
01:07:35:03 – 01:08:15:03
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
So let me start this off from a chronic text text. It says here. And certainly we have created for hell many of the gen and the men, the gen is the Caucasian, according to Muhammad, speaks from the Honorable Elijah Muhammad. And the men? The men who are not from Europe, European born and bred, outnumber the European 11 to 1.
01:08:15:06 – 01:08:55:07
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
We Europe is a land that the original people knew as West Asia. It got name Europe. After we put yakuza children there. Haven’t you notice that Jesus never brings up Pharaoh and the children of Israel being under Pharaoh? But he let you know that I’m connected with Moses. For Moses had a law, and I’ve not come to throw away his law, but I’m here to fulfill it.
01:08:55:09 – 01:09:18:07
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
If you going to fulfill a law that another man wrote 2000 years before you, you’re you’re you’re proclaiming and declaring to the world, I’m connected with that man. What? How can you be connected with him? And you’re not talking about Pharaoh. And that is because that never happened.
01:09:18:09 – 01:09:20:28
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Unless Jesus.
01:09:21:01 – 01:09:53:21
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Not 4000 years ago. So the Honorable Elijah Muhammad teaches us right? Even when Jesus says to them, you shall know the truth, and the truth will set you free. They said to him, they denied being under Pharaoh. They said to him, how can we be made free when we never been in bondage to any man? Now we so you yourself are denying that you were slaves for 400 years.
01:09:53:23 – 01:10:59:03
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
But Abraham was told of a surety from God himself. Nobody got sent to Abraham to tell him he’s talking or God is talking with him. Your seed will be in bondage in a strange land amongst a strange people for 400 years, right? And we in, umble humble investigation, we can find no other people fitting that description. But if we fit that description, if we have been in bondage and have suffered and have been afflicted for 400 years, if we agree that we fulfilled that, then we can’t deny that God said after that, I’m coming to don’t say I was a slave, right?
01:10:59:05 – 01:11:07:24
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
But no, God came. When the Scripture says, after your suffering, after your affliction, after your enslavement.
01:11:08:01 – 01:11:08:29
Speaker 2
That.
01:11:09:01 – 01:11:22:12
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
I’m coming, right? Just think of that now. So you admit one and deny the other one.
01:11:22:15 – 01:11:43:11
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
In other words, if we deny God came, we’re really asking the question, what’s he coming for? You look at it. What do we need a God for? When we got the white House, that’s what we say. What do we need a God for when we have these laws and everything? Nobody’s trying to change the Constitution. The whole fight.
01:11:43:11 – 01:11:50:16
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
I’ve seen whether it’s white or black, we were trying to get the people who say they represent the Constitution to live up to it.
01:11:50:18 – 01:11:51:21
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
That come on.
01:11:51:23 – 01:12:04:29
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
The whole fight is you got a beautiful document. The people ain’t beautiful. That’s right, that’s right. And when I say not beautiful, not beautiful in the heart. Look at this. What the Koran is saying.
01:12:05:02 – 01:12:31:24
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
How come you create hell for them? God? Because they got hearts where with. They understand not. How could that be? They have eyes where with they see not. And they have ears where with they hear not I can hear. Yes, but the Honorable Louis Farrakhan was talking Savior’s day. Did you hear that question?
01:12:31:24 – 01:12:34:19
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Yes. That’s right, that’s right.
01:12:34:21 – 01:12:54:03
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
That was horrible. What happened on October the 7th to those people of Israel. But the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan said Mr. Netanyahu knew it. He said they knew it was going to happen.
01:12:54:06 – 01:13:11:28
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Well, what else did he say on it? Well, to be honest, God told him to be quiet. He hadn’t said nothing else. Can you prove that? Mr.. Yet Netanyahu did not know it. They ended up coming up in the newspaper.
01:13:11:29 – 01:13:12:12
Speaker 2
Right?
01:13:12:15 – 01:13:15:26
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Right. We’re not even out of 2024.
01:13:15:29 – 01:13:17:20
Speaker 2
On.
01:13:17:23 – 01:13:30:25
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
The Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan said this in February. The year ain’t even out yet. And it came out in the newspaper. They knew about it one whole year before it happened.
01:13:30:28 – 01:13:35:22
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Writing it. That’s what.
01:13:35:24 – 01:13:38:27
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Then.
01:13:38:29 – 01:14:16:21
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Mr. Netanyahu came to the United States, and was at the United Nations right. And he held up from the scripture that talks about this day. I have put before you cursing and blessings and blessings and curses. He showed a curse, right? And in the curse you could still see Lebanon. You could see the Gaza. But when he held up one that says the blessing this is supposed to be when Israel was finished doing what it wants to do.
01:14:16:23 – 01:14:56:25
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Which the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan said, Allah has shown me his mine. Sir. This is what he intends to do. He showed a blessing. And in the blessing you saw Saudi Arabia, you saw Iran, you saw Syria. What didn’t you see? Gaza was gone and Lebanon was gone. And all you saw was Israel. Didn’t the minister tell us they intend to annex all the countries and those areas all the way to the waterway?
01:14:56:27 – 01:15:21:06
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
And now Mr. Netanyahu comes and holds up pictures. So the minister said it, but they’re proven right that what he said, we don’t have to guess that whether or not the minister spoke the truth. That’s what I’m trying to show you. Some people say, well, Elijah Muhammad said, you know why people hate us? They like devils and everything.
01:15:21:08 – 01:15:41:12
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Yeah, but, you know, is that true? Well, the Honorable Elijah Muhammad didn’t didn’t have to go out and prove it. Doctor King proved it did. Doctor King gave his heart to white America. He gave him an olive branch. What did he get back?
01:15:41:15 – 01:15:43:15
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
That’s right.
01:15:43:18 – 01:16:02:07
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
So you see the wonderful picture with Doctor King and Coretta King and the sitting with the Honorable Elijah Muhammad. They are in 1966, because Doctor King had brought his campaign to Chicago.
01:16:02:10 – 01:16:28:00
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
And you see that the Fair Housing Act got passed in 1968. But that was the big fight in Chicago, the poor housing that black people were getting when they left the South and went up north. So anyway, you know, when you got eyes and you still can’t see. Yeah. That’s not the blinding of the eye. It’s the blinding of the mind.
01:16:28:03 – 01:16:30:05
Speaker 2
Right.
01:16:30:08 – 01:16:42:18
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Today people can see evil and they can’t see the devil.
01:16:42:20 – 01:17:11:24
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Now they bear witness. There’s one. But they, they, they bear witness. The devil is invisible. But then the evil just popped up. Evil is being carried out by human beings. Just like good things are carried out by human beings. But the consistent evil that’s highly organized, it has to be. Because when righteous people and good people want to see something good done, we got a hard time getting that good done.
01:17:11:28 – 01:17:13:02
Speaker 2
Yes, sir.
01:17:13:04 – 01:17:47:04
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
And I’m remember when this work first started, when the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan knew what to do, and he got up and started working. He said in those early years, one of the problems in the world is that wickedness lies. Evil is highly organized truth and good is poorly organized. And it’s hard for people to do good because the high organization of evil has work in our.
01:17:47:04 – 01:17:49:19
Speaker 2
Hearts.
01:17:49:21 – 01:17:56:06
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
To make it very difficult for us to organize and unify.
01:17:56:08 – 01:17:57:22
Speaker 2
When.
01:17:57:24 – 01:18:14:05
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
You can’t organize and unify without structure. So I and the minister said, it’s not we that have the power is our structure that gives us the power. Once the structure is undermined, your power goes with it.
01:18:14:10 – 01:18:15:21
Speaker 2
Yes, sir.
01:18:15:24 – 01:18:25:05
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
With,
01:18:25:08 – 01:19:01:11
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
A subject, but I’m concentrating on. We got hearts. We not seeing. We got hearts. We not hearing. And we got hearts where we’re not understanding. What is the heart of a servant? You know, there were some disciples that came to Jesus. And they wanted one of them to be able to sit on his right hand and one on the left, that in your glory.
01:19:01:13 – 01:19:03:25
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
I don’t know what made them ask for those poles.
01:19:04:02 – 01:19:04:18
Speaker 2
Right.
01:19:04:20 – 01:19:15:19
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
But Jesus said, well. You know, for you to take that post on the left and you to tear the other one on the right, it ain’t mine to give.
01:19:15:25 – 01:19:17:00
Speaker 2
You, right? Look at it.
01:19:17:02 – 01:19:37:18
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
You came to the wrong place. If you looking for that post and, he let them know that he who is chief among you. That’s the top post. Let him be his servant.
01:19:37:20 – 01:19:38:17
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Yes.
01:19:38:20 – 01:19:55:12
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Because the true heart of the kind of leadership that’s going to get us out of this mess has to be the heart of a servant. Yes. Right. Yeah.
01:19:55:14 – 01:20:03:01
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
And he let his disciples know the Son of Man has not come to be served. He’s come to serve.
01:20:03:03 – 01:20:05:04
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
That’s right.
01:20:05:07 – 01:20:42:23
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
There’s a universal concept, in the world of mammon or world of money, where money, seems to be the motivating factor behind what human beings are willing to do and not do. You know, there’s a there’s a monetary, consideration. How much am I getting pay? You know, what? Am I going to get out of this? You know, but, it says if you don’t have the kind of money you want in life, check your level of service.
01:20:42:26 – 01:21:09:25
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Because there’s a universal principle. See, this is a book we live in. If you could see the universe as a book, a lot has written in it principles, right? That we can’t get past. People. People that get done wrong, they know that the wrong that people do is going to come back on them one day. Well, how do you know that?
01:21:09:26 – 01:21:19:10
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Because it’s already written in a book. You don’t have to go to the library to get confirmation on this. They say, just let a little time.
01:21:19:10 – 01:21:20:16
Speaker 2
Pass.
01:21:20:18 – 01:21:32:16
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
And you’ll see them people. What goes around comes around right? And the Bible says God is not mocked.
01:21:32:18 – 01:21:33:17
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
01:21:33:20 – 01:21:56:11
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
When you mock somebody, you tend to say what they say it. That’s why they call a mockingbird. He can a parrot. He can parrot just what you said. He don’t mean what you meant. But because he can’t think like that. But he could say it. But some of us are like parrots. We say the thing, but we ain’t considered enough.
01:21:56:11 – 01:21:58:12
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
We got heart. We ain’t understanding.
01:21:58:18 – 01:22:00:02
Speaker 2
Right? Right.
01:22:00:05 – 01:22:15:07
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Got eyes. But not saying we got ears, but we not hearing. So the Bible remind. You can go around saying I’m the only love. Allahu Akbar. You can go around saying Hallelujah, Jesus and everything, but God is not mocked.
01:22:15:09 – 01:22:18:07
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Jesus.
01:22:18:10 – 01:22:32:04
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Whatsoever a man soweth, that will reap. God, I’m not going to bring back on you your insincere declarations, but what you do is going to come back.
01:22:32:04 – 01:22:33:01
Speaker 2
On.
01:22:33:03 – 01:22:43:17
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Why that’s a principle laid up in the universe. Jesus didn’t come to make up laws. He came to enlighten us.
01:22:43:20 – 01:22:45:01
Speaker 2
On the laws.
01:22:45:04 – 01:22:50:25
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
That the originator has already set up in the universe, that we’ve lost contact with.
01:22:50:27 – 01:22:52:02
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Jesus brother.
01:22:52:05 – 01:23:07:20
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Okay, so Jesus is reminding his disciples, look, man, you got to have a heart of a servant. The demands and the mandate of the time that we and people have to be served.
01:23:07:23 – 01:23:10:05
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Just a.
01:23:10:07 – 01:23:12:25
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Not you looking for service.
01:23:12:27 – 01:23:14:23
Speaker 2
Right?
01:23:14:25 – 01:23:23:27
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
The father of this world. So the Honorable Elijah Muhammad teaches taught Islam.
01:23:23:29 – 01:23:26:09
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Imagine that you take a woman.
01:23:26:12 – 01:23:43:29
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Mr. Yaqoob Jacob in the Bible. He taught Islam. The message is say on a luxury basis. What is luxury basis look like? Come and join my mass and I’ll get others to serve you. That’s what he said. Yes.
01:23:44:01 – 01:23:46:12
Speaker 2
There man.
01:23:46:15 – 01:23:54:13
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Yeah. So, this one that comes now, the master.
01:23:54:17 – 01:23:55:02
Speaker 2
That’s right.
01:23:55:08 – 01:23:57:25
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
He brought a whole new paradigm.
01:23:57:27 – 01:23:58:22
Speaker 2
To.
01:23:58:24 – 01:24:07:03
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Come with me, and I’m going to equip you for the service of others.
01:24:07:05 – 01:24:10:11
Speaker 2
Yes.
01:24:10:14 – 01:24:21:05
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
A law did not create the man with two hearts. No, you can’t love. So Jesus said it like this. You can’t serve two.
01:24:21:05 – 01:24:23:10
Speaker 2
Masters, right?
01:24:23:12 – 01:24:26:29
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Yeah. You can’t serve God and money.
01:24:27:01 – 01:24:27:21
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
No, sir.
01:24:27:28 – 01:25:06:05
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
But he promised. If you serve God, you’ll get money. Money. Money will start coming when you start serving. So the heart of a servant, is predisposed to service to God and God alone. And the trial that that heart undergoes, it starts with offering you material wealth. Look at Jesus. He’s getting prepared for his ministry. And he comes to John the Baptist.
01:25:06:08 – 01:25:36:11
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
And so that the Scripture will be fulfilled or all righteousness is fulfilled, as he says, John, is to baptize him after the baptism. The Bible says the spirit led him into the wilderness. The devil didn’t lead him there. The spirit led him there, and he’s confronted by the devil in a moment of time. He’s shown all the riches in the world.
01:25:36:14 – 01:26:03:20
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
And the devil says to him, Satan says to him, these have been delivered into my hands will I give unto thee, if you’ll bow down and worship me. And Jesus rejects him, and rejects everything that he offers him. Are you following these test in the heart now? And whatever he starts out getting tested with in the beginning, you can rest assured we’ll be tested with in the end.
01:26:03:22 – 01:26:04:27
Speaker 2
Right?
01:26:05:00 – 01:26:20:08
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Because that heart builds a community of people and that people have to walk, in those footsteps because our own hearts have to be tested. Right?
01:26:20:10 – 01:26:21:15
Speaker 2
Right.
01:26:21:17 – 01:26:25:22
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Yeah. So.
01:26:25:25 – 01:26:42:20
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
So this servant of God is focused on your and my rise. Not out of that. It’s a good concept, but out of love for us.
01:26:42:20 – 01:26:43:11
Speaker 2
Yes.
01:26:43:14 – 01:26:43:25
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
01:26:44:01 – 01:26:44:19
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Yes, sir.
01:26:44:22 – 01:26:55:06
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
So the first thing he has, he he sees he loves God. He loves the people that God has come for.
01:26:55:09 – 01:26:57:21
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
That’s right.
01:26:57:23 – 01:27:11:13
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Because this one who came from the east unto the West, he didn’t start a class, teach drill and everything, and send people into the streets to go get people. He was industry.
01:27:11:15 – 01:27:12:11
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Right?
01:27:12:13 – 01:27:20:29
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
No one was with him. He didn’t have a squad, And he was out. What we call soldiering.
01:27:21:01 – 01:27:21:26
Speaker 2
That’s right.
01:27:21:28 – 01:27:38:15
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
So he didn’t send you out to soldier? He showed you how to soldier, right? I’m. I’m right about it now. And he’s. Now you see me doing something. But what you may not see is what I’m doing it out of.
01:27:38:17 – 01:27:39:26
Speaker 2
Right?
01:27:39:29 – 01:27:51:23
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
I got a I got a love that won’t die right. And the flame of my love won’t burn out.
01:27:51:25 – 01:28:02:03
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
I’m going to be with you. And I’m going to start, showing you how this is done.
01:28:02:05 – 01:28:03:06
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Come on now.
01:28:03:08 – 01:28:19:09
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
They couldn’t get him to talk foolishness. He hadn’t come up with that kind of education right? He was taught and trained completely outside of our experience.
01:28:19:12 – 01:28:19:27
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
That’s right.
01:28:20:04 – 01:28:35:10
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
So he came in. What’s he going to do first if he didn’t grow up in the hood, he got to come in the hood to see what kind of, effect living in the hood did to us.
01:28:35:12 – 01:28:36:16
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Go ahead.
01:28:36:19 – 01:28:42:15
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Now he’s got to mathematically look, what’s the distance between me and what I.
01:28:42:15 – 01:28:44:11
Speaker 2
Am and.
01:28:44:11 – 01:29:01:13
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Us and what we were and what will it take in physics? Force times distance equals work. So the work that’s got to be done.
01:29:01:15 – 01:29:02:09
Speaker 2
Come on.
01:29:02:11 – 01:29:06:09
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
And the force that’s needed is called faith, right?
01:29:06:15 – 01:29:08:00
Speaker 2
That’s right.
01:29:08:02 – 01:29:22:09
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Go ahead. When you multiply your faith by the distance, if you’re starting to make some headway, some work has been done. So we measured his work.
01:29:22:11 – 01:29:23:10
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Yes, sir.
01:29:23:13 – 01:29:30:15
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
He had thousands in one mosque. Are y’all with me now?
01:29:30:17 – 01:29:31:13
Speaker 2
01:29:31:15 – 01:29:38:27
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Now he he’s he’s teaching right. And his lines outside.
01:29:39:00 – 01:29:41:26
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Come on, come on.
01:29:41:29 – 01:30:05:28
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
We had a sister, sister seal. She was six years old. Six years old, seven years old. She was in the mosque when he was teaching. She’s pastoring now, but she would come to save his day and talk about what those meetings were like. And I remembered her saying at the time of acceptance, if you didn’t accept, the captain’s marched you out.
01:30:06:01 – 01:30:06:26
Speaker 2
Come on.
01:30:06:29 – 01:30:14:10
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Kept the other people and brought the other crowd in. And they were. And I said, damn, they got more people that way.
01:30:14:12 – 01:30:15:05
Speaker 2
Oh, you.
01:30:15:07 – 01:30:17:09
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Didn’t even asking you to come back.
01:30:17:11 – 01:30:18:23
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Right?
01:30:18:25 – 01:30:37:05
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Think about. And he was solid showing us at that period. People didn’t accept they weren’t ready. That’s all right. You’re not ready yet. Yes. Some people, it take them years to get ready. Then they start hearing the message.
01:30:37:08 – 01:30:39:18
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Some people hear right away.
01:30:39:20 – 01:30:41:00
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
That’s right.
01:30:41:03 – 01:30:43:10
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
And and they come. But.
01:30:43:13 – 01:30:44:23
Speaker 2
01:30:44:26 – 01:31:08:01
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
She said they would march them out and get ready to bring others in. And, his, his secretary, Sister Bernstein, she became the first captain of the MGT. Her daughter said they had more than 15,000 people in that one mosque in Detroit.
01:31:08:04 – 01:31:09:24
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Right.
01:31:09:27 – 01:31:18:17
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Now. If you got 15, 20,000 just registered people, how many other black people are affected in Detroit, Michigan?
01:31:18:20 – 01:31:19:23
Speaker 2
Right.
01:31:19:26 – 01:31:37:20
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
You know, by this teacher. So the government’s upset. I got a picture at home of Detroit Free Press. The detectives is questioning him, and the press is waiting for the detectives to tell him who is this man? And they came out and said he and sis. That he’s the Supreme Being.
01:31:37:23 – 01:31:45:15
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Oh, come on and wait a minute. I’m just.
01:31:45:17 – 01:32:05:25
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
They they can’t stop what he’s done. To the minds of us, he brought Islam, but he he put it in a way that it fit the condition of our minds. And with.
01:32:05:25 – 01:32:08:05
Speaker 2
Little.
01:32:08:07 – 01:32:42:04
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Not seen him we talked about. They got eyes but can’t see. Can’t see him in his truest light on. He’s not trying to put nobody over nothing. He’s still here. Soldier in himself. Notice this until one day in September of 1931. Now, he didn’t already came in 1930. Yes, sir. But by September 1931, as he’s taken acceptances now, somebody’s got eyes that can see what we’re doing.
01:32:42:09 – 01:33:07:22
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Look here, man, and when this one comes up to accept, he sees him in his truest light, and he he even has to whisper to him. Yeah, you you see it? But who else knows that? Oh, yeah. Now, what’s he finding in this one that can see? See, the heart is not the muscle beating in the chest. That’s not what the scripture is talking about.
01:33:07:25 – 01:33:09:05
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
It’s talking about the core of your.
01:33:09:05 – 01:33:10:16
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Mind.
01:33:10:19 – 01:33:10:26
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
The.
01:33:10:26 – 01:33:12:13
Speaker 2
Heart.
01:33:12:15 – 01:33:49:27
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
The dictionary say it’s the seat of a man’s affection. You know, when you touched in the heart, that’s that’s the seat of a man’s affections. You can’t touch that. You can’t have the effect on people. You know, when people hear a speaker, words alone, they can they can serve as a stimulus. But to really be touched in your soul.
01:33:50:00 – 01:33:51:04
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Right?
01:33:51:07 – 01:33:54:24
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
There has to be something in the vessel.
01:33:55:01 – 01:33:57:23
Speaker 2
That’s right.
01:33:57:25 – 01:34:00:05
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Trump can’t preach this.
01:34:00:07 – 01:34:02:27
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
We’re.
01:34:03:00 – 01:34:14:15
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
That’s the heart is not there for you and I to make the connection. See, we are God’s people, right? That means we are people of spirit and rhythm.
01:34:14:20 – 01:34:15:27
Speaker 2
Yes, right.
01:34:15:29 – 01:34:41:13
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
And when Jesus would preach and some people weren’t touched in the heart, notice what he said. I’ve been. I don’t pipe to you all day long. I’m I’m deejay and I’m playing every kind of tune. And, you know, you have not danced. Why? Because the truth got rhythm to it. And it don’t just touch the mind. It’s a piece of information.
01:34:41:16 – 01:34:43:18
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
It touches the soul.
01:34:43:20 – 01:34:44:28
Speaker 2
Right?
01:34:45:01 – 01:34:54:26
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
And it it’s in the it’s in the blood stream and the boom. Oh come on. Of original people. When you touched in the heart, man.
01:34:54:29 – 01:34:56:15
Speaker 2
That’s right.
01:34:56:17 – 01:35:20:16
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
And when you touch that way, just like you get information, you scroll in all day. It’s brother never say on the phone and it’s a feed and it’s feeding your mind and everything. But that information comes, goes, comes, goes come go. But this you can’t shake chance. Not when you get touched like that, Yeah. So.
01:35:20:19 – 01:35:22:19
Speaker 2
01:35:22:21 – 01:35:37:26
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Oh, Jesus. He know now that we’ve been ruined as a people. And when you got ruined, parts, that’s called for automobiles. The junkyard.
01:35:37:29 – 01:35:39:08
Speaker 2
Right.
01:35:39:11 – 01:35:52:26
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
And he’s in the junkyard looking not for junk, but he’s looking for somebody that’s got a heart of a servant.
01:35:52:29 – 01:35:55:18
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Right. But.
01:35:55:20 – 01:36:10:15
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Some people think, oh, he just took one. He didn’t want the others. No, the one he took he knew would not leave the others. That’s the kind of heart he’s looking for. Everybody. Black ain’t got that kind of heart right now,
01:36:10:18 – 01:36:12:23
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
That’s right.
01:36:12:25 – 01:36:19:10
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
But this one had a heart that not one of them should be left behind.
01:36:19:13 – 01:36:20:20
Speaker 2
No, teach. Well.
01:36:20:22 – 01:36:45:20
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Now he can start teaching one and preparing one to take the place while he goes, so that we would have one from amongst us who did grow up in the hood, who grew up in the South, who knew our experience, right? But what he didn’t know was what the master taught him.
01:36:45:26 – 01:36:46:28
Speaker 2
That’s right, that’s right.
01:36:47:01 – 01:36:50:28
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Now that he’s furnished with that and he ain’t leaving the neighborhood.
01:36:51:06 – 01:36:52:10
Speaker 2
That’s right.
01:36:52:12 – 01:36:54:15
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
He can start teaching us.
01:36:54:17 – 01:36:55:02
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Yes, sir.
01:36:55:07 – 01:37:24:23
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
And he’s showing us you ain’t got to change your zip code to be saved. You can make your own neighborhood a decent place to live. Think about it. So the Honorable Elijah Muhammad starts working, and God knows he’s having problems. But what his his, his eyes could see something in us that we couldn’t see. So he told us, when you look at the black man and woman, you’re looking at God.
01:37:24:25 – 01:37:26:01
Speaker 2
Yes, sir.
01:37:26:04 – 01:37:31:17
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Come on Elijah, really? This is how we sound.
01:37:31:19 – 01:37:34:16
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Yes, sir.
01:37:34:19 – 01:37:38:08
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
We looking everywhere but in the black bear. That woman.
01:37:38:10 – 01:37:41:29
Speaker 2
That’s right.
01:37:42:02 – 01:37:51:17
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
And, That’s a range of vision. That you have to have the heart to see.
01:37:51:20 – 01:37:52:04
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Yes, sir.
01:37:52:08 – 01:37:52:27
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
That.
01:37:52:29 – 01:37:54:01
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Yes.
01:37:54:03 – 01:38:40:04
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
The minister says when you have the proper view of the man of God that’s teaching you, guiding you, training you, when you had the proper view, he said, view is the power of your sight. View is the range of your vision. And when you got, the range of vision that no matter what you have suffered over 400 years, what you have been afflicted with for 400 years, everything that has been done to us, I could never see it on my own out of that experience.
01:38:40:04 – 01:39:08:02
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
But when I look at him who’s teaching me and guiding me and training me, as long as I’m looking at him, my range of vision can come on, I can see a victory. I can see an existence that I ain’t living in yet. But as long as Farrakhan is in front of me.
01:39:08:05 – 01:39:09:26
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Because of his heart.
01:39:09:28 – 01:39:10:23
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Yes, sir.
01:39:10:25 – 01:39:12:09
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Touching me.
01:39:12:12 – 01:39:13:17
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Teach.
01:39:13:19 – 01:39:20:15
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
And those of us that see it, our range of vision can be extended, right? That.
01:39:20:17 – 01:39:44:14
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
The children of Israel got all the way to the Promised Land. There’s a welcoming sign. You ever been outside of Pennsylvania? And you come and you see the sign. Welcome to Pennsylvania Commonwealth. Welcome to Philadelphia. Oh, I’m nearby now, so I’m gotta figure they traveling. They see the welcome sign. That’s right.
01:39:44:17 – 01:39:45:10
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Oh.
01:39:45:12 – 01:40:11:04
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
They said, well, we won’t go in yet. Let’s park over here. We’re going to send 12 spies in. Investigators bring us back a report. Bible says they came back with an evil report, right. They saw it. It’s all court to what was promised to Abraham. It’s all in according to Abraham, Isaac and other. But you know what they didn’t tell us?
01:40:11:04 – 01:40:37:17
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
There’s some giants in the land. You know, Elon Musk is there and all these other people around and everything. And, look what they said. You know, we can’t overcome these people. He said, yeah, but we got to we got instructions from God to his apostles, go in the land and look what he said. Don’t just go in there.
01:40:37:17 – 01:40:38:22
Speaker 2
Possess it right.
01:40:38:24 – 01:40:44:18
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Now. What? It possessed me. Take charge of this post and all temple property in view.
01:40:44:23 – 01:40:45:18
Speaker 2
That’s what you.
01:40:45:21 – 01:41:18:24
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
See. We can talk, let’s say. Well, what’s everybody holding back for? We’ve been saying this for years. Take charge, Victor. Now the command to take charge. Come. And if you can’t go forward, it means we were mocking. We didn’t really believe it. That we could take charge of him. Maybe we didn’t believe that the Honorable Elijah Muhammad said, hey, the scripture said we are all God’s.
01:41:18:27 – 01:41:21:27
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
We just children of the Most High God.
01:41:21:29 – 01:41:23:01
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
That’s right.
01:41:23:04 – 01:41:47:00
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
We can, we can. Surely we can take it. Now look what happened. It was 12 of them. Ten of them said, we can’t do it. But two, Joshua and Caleb. They said, surely we can do it. Why? Because God never demands faith from you without having shown you some of his power.
01:41:47:07 – 01:41:48:16
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
He didn’t.
01:41:48:19 – 01:41:52:01
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
He ain’t a he. He’s not going to show you nothing.
01:41:52:03 – 01:41:52:27
Speaker 2
Okay?
01:41:53:00 – 01:42:03:06
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
And then you get tested with what he can do and you ain’t never seen what. So he’s gotta show you something first. If you had, I as you saw it.
01:42:03:08 – 01:42:03:26
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Right?
01:42:03:29 – 01:42:08:25
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
If you got ears where, when you can hear. You heard it.
01:42:08:28 – 01:42:11:22
Speaker 2
Your boy.
01:42:11:24 – 01:42:22:22
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
The honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan talking Savior’s day and then saying nothing after. And the newspapers are bearing witness to what he said. Save his day. That’s a sign.
01:42:22:25 – 01:42:23:29
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
He’s right. Yes.
01:42:24:01 – 01:42:42:21
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Is that there’s something or someone with him, right? Yes, sir. So he titled it, not what Farrakhan got to say. He titled it. What does the Great Mahdi have to say? What does the great Messiah have to say?
01:42:42:24 – 01:42:46:25
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Well, where does Farrakhan come in? He’s going to communicate it to us.
01:42:46:27 – 01:42:47:06
Speaker 2
Right?
01:42:47:06 – 01:42:53:15
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Yes, sir. But he didn’t say he was the author of that message, sir. He’s a carrier of it.
01:42:53:16 – 01:42:59:25
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Yes, sir. Yes, sir. Yes, sir. Yes, sir.
01:42:59:27 – 01:43:05:12

Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Yes, sir.
01:43:07:14 – 01:43:18:19
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Every statistic show black man ain’t ready yet. They had us on the the misery index.
01:43:18:19 – 01:43:19:12
Speaker 2
And.

Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Unemployed.
01:43:20:23 – 01:43:21:17
Speaker 2
And.
01:43:21:19 – 01:43:31:03
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Dropping out of school unemployable mass incarceration.
01:43:31:06 – 01:44:02:21
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Can’t keep a job. Some don’t want one now. I mean, just look at the stats and the the the national condition of us. They always moving away from each other, trying to live with somebody else. Then as soon as they get there, like Malcolm says, mix for a period of time. But pretty soon they’re gone and you buy all by yourself again.
01:44:02:23 – 01:44:31:21
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
And all of a sudden, the Honorable Louis Farrakhan is shown by God to make a call to those kind of men. And those men got up from wherever they were, on whatever level in this society. With they own money, paid they way to Washington. With their own money.
01:44:31:24 – 01:44:59:25
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
And God gave us the right kind of heart, because there’s no way, after the way we had been conditioned in this country is no where you could bring nearly 2 million black men together, and they no fights left. We fighting each other in clubs. Now you in a club is supposed to be happy hour to three.
01:44:59:27 – 01:45:01:22
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
01:45:01:25 – 01:45:24:00
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
You drink and supposed to be having a good time. It’s a fight in their. We come out of. Every time I look on the news. If it’s not one week, every two week. Some of us getting shot in Philadelphia, it’s right outside of some entertainment center, right. Where are you supposed to be? In a in gaiety and having a good time and everything.
01:45:24:05 – 01:45:24:29
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
You fighting in.
01:45:24:29 – 01:45:27:00
Speaker 2
There?
01:45:27:03 – 01:45:44:09
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
So 2 million black men coming together for something. First of all, some serious women got to climb over us to go to church. Well, I’m going to church, all right. I’m waiting on the Eagles to come on.
01:45:44:12 – 01:45:47:15
Speaker 2
That’s right. Come on, man.
01:45:47:17 – 01:46:07:20
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
But look what we did. We heard this call. Now few of us had to be pushed a little bit. Baby, baby, what you doing? I’m fixing your baloney sandwich so you can get down with Minister Farrakhan. Down to the Million man March itself I had planned. Oh, you going? What, you want the orange juice on eliminate going. Where you going?
01:46:07:20 – 01:46:19:01
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Down there. You ain’t stand. You’re not going to sit up here while black men go. So some of us needed a little push. That’s all right.
01:46:19:04 – 01:46:50:03
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
But, you know, I see God give us signs. Yes, sir. That he’s with us. Yes. So these believers get to the door, the promise, and start talking about what we can’t do. So when? When this. When the two get up in faith. This way to. Wait a minute, wait a minute. God destroyed Pharaoh. Why? God delivered us from our captors.
01:46:50:06 – 01:46:58:02
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
We were in the wilderness, and he. He’s been with us all the way for it. Said, during the day there was a cloud.
01:46:58:07 – 01:46:59:12
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
That’s right.
01:46:59:14 – 01:47:01:22
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
And a pillar of fire at night.
01:47:01:25 – 01:47:02:13
Speaker 2
Right.
01:47:02:15 – 01:47:08:11
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
You know, fire don’t just come up from the sky like that in a pillar. That’s a plane.
01:47:08:14 – 01:47:11:12
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
That’s right. Come on. Right. Be real tall.
01:47:11:14 – 01:47:17:18
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
There’s with us. Yes. That didn’t happen 4000 years ago. Is for now, right? Think about.
01:47:17:19 – 01:47:21:26
Speaker 2
The minister.
01:47:21:29 – 01:47:50:07
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
We just still decided it can’t be done. So when the two brothers spoke in faith. Look what they said. Come, let us stone them to death. So now you didn’t have no weapons, right? So God would show his power to deliver you from the most powerful man. And. And you did that with no guns. Come on.
01:47:50:09 – 01:47:51:01
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
01:47:51:04 – 01:47:54:09
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Oh, come on now.
01:47:54:12 – 01:47:57:29
Speaker 2
01:47:58:01 – 01:48:26:01
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
You going to fight each other with stones and you’re not going to fight Pharaoh or anybody or anybody. You’re going to fight your brother. And what did he do to you. He made a confession of faith. And because I got a heart where with I understand not which makes me have eyes and I really can’t see. You ever heard people say I.
01:48:26:01 – 01:48:57:04
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
I can’t see it? I yeah, I you know, I can’t see I’m not feeling what they’re talking about. So it’s a division, and it’s a fight among the righteous community. And, it means that the range of vision is not there. Now, who told you about display? And who told you you was deserving of it? Or that God would make you worthy of this?
01:48:57:07 – 01:49:03:23
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
It’s the man. And the ministers say you have to have a proper view of the man.
01:49:04:01 – 01:49:04:25
Speaker 2
Yes, sir.
01:49:04:28 – 01:49:13:04
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
More and an improper view of the man blinds you to what the man taught you.
01:49:13:05 – 01:49:13:20
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Yes, sir.
01:49:13:21 – 01:49:26:09
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
That you were scheduled for what? You no longer see yourself as scheduled for that, you gotta go in a different direction.
01:49:26:12 – 01:49:28:29
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Good teacher. Yes, sir.
01:49:29:02 – 01:49:58:01
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Maybe I’m not making sense a day, but you know what? You up. My mind is on something, and I’m going to read some from the minister to close out. But, you know, my mind is on the Honorable Elijah Muhammad. Except in that day, 1931. And then he learns from the master, and he said, it’s about three years and four months.
01:49:58:04 – 01:49:59:09
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Yes, sir.
01:49:59:11 – 01:50:13:04
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
So take those years out. And by 1934, this man is leaving him with a mission, right? He hasn’t set up any mos.
01:50:13:06 – 01:50:16:06
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Why? He joined one.
01:50:16:08 – 01:50:17:27
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Right?
01:50:17:29 – 01:50:36:00
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
He didn’t have to set up a structure. The structure was there. That’s what he joined. And somebody had him seated. He heard a message. Acceptance came. He decided to accept. They showed him where to line up, to come down, to accept. Right. But he saw something.
01:50:36:02 – 01:50:38:29
Speaker 2
Yes, sir.
01:50:39:01 – 01:50:47:19
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
He was in the back of a class that was already set up on, and he was called to the front.
01:50:47:22 – 01:50:48:19
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
That’s right.
01:50:48:22 – 01:50:57:11
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Then the man who set up the class and called him to the front says, I gotta go now. You don’t need me anymore.
01:50:57:14 – 01:50:59:13
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Just come on. Okay?
01:50:59:16 – 01:51:02:26
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
And.
01:51:02:28 – 01:51:04:22
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
That man goes.
01:51:04:25 – 01:51:05:02
Speaker 2
On.
01:51:05:09 – 01:51:15:27
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
And immediately the hypocrites rise. The honorable Elijah Muhammad gotta get out of the city. Not just out of the mosque. He gotta get out of the city.
01:51:16:00 – 01:51:16:24
Speaker 2
Right?
01:51:16:27 – 01:51:25:23
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
They want to kill him for where he’s been put. That’s seven years.
01:51:25:25 – 01:51:59:07
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
He. He gets past the seven years, and now he’s in the hands of the FBI, the authorities. President Roosevelt don’t want him on the streets. He’s teaching black men that this is not their war. What? And, they trumped up charges on him and put him in prison. And so he’s there. He’s not released to 1946.
01:51:59:09 – 01:51:59:22
Speaker 2
The same.
01:51:59:22 – 01:52:12:18
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Thing. Now, see, brother, brother, brother Ishmael was covering some of this from save his day. 81 the minister brought this up, and I first save his day in the rebuilding.
01:52:12:20 – 01:52:18:06
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
So the Honorable Elijah Muhammad don’t really start building mosques and things to 1946.
01:52:18:09 – 01:52:21:04
Speaker 2
Yes, sir.
01:52:21:06 – 01:52:32:28
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
And from 1946 to the nation goes down in 1975 is 29 years. And what did I tell you last week? The minister said the 29th, sir, the holy Koran is the spider.
01:52:33:00 – 01:52:34:05
Speaker 2
Yes, sir.
01:52:34:08 – 01:52:57:23
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
And Iraq, they’re a creature with eight legs that, that that really can’t see can study currents. And many of these small, lightweight creatures, they travel on currents. So he know the currents coming this way. So he sets the web up right. And the lightweight creatures get caught in it.
01:52:58:00 – 01:52:59:06
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
That’s right.
01:52:59:08 – 01:53:04:28
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Then he knows how to get Ahold of that creature unaware. Because in the web, he’s the master.
01:53:05:01 – 01:53:06:18
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
That’s right. Yes, sir.
01:53:06:20 – 01:53:07:15
Speaker 2
Teach, brother.
01:53:07:17 – 01:53:37:07
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Keep that in mind. In the. Wham! The spider is the master, right? Every time the other creature tries to move, more of the web is sticking to him. But the spider not stuck there. He can move up and down. The one if he’s the master of it. Teacher, he don’t chew it up. He injects something in that creature and the the insight he puts in there.
01:53:37:07 – 01:54:16:29
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
It breaks down the form of the creature. Whatever organs, whatever whatever mechanism, it has to stay alive. All that breaks down. Once it breaks down, the spider sucks. Everything that was in that creature, out of that creature, and all that’s left as an evidence of this, attack is a shell. Why is a law revealing something to a servant dealing with a eight legged creature like this?
01:54:17:02 – 01:54:46:02
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Because, see that 29 years like a spider. Somebody knows which way the believers are traveling. Just set up a web of lies, right? Evil suggestions and lightweight minds that ain’t been studying. Now, it’s a weaker mind. Muslim. Well, ain’t no such thing as a weak a man Muslim. Then why would the Honorable Elijah Muhammad give us the instruction?
01:54:46:02 – 01:54:48:08
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Make a weak Muslim strong?
01:54:48:10 – 01:54:52:09
Speaker 2
That’s right. How can you make them strong.
01:54:52:15 – 01:55:23:14
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Unless they weaken to these elements that we find in the books of Scripture? Praying amongst righteous people, planting things in them. And then once you caught up in the web, the spider is the master of the lie. That’s why the ministers say you can’t argue with Satan using Satan’s language. You gotta go back to the language of the original people in order to be because he’s a master of lies.
01:55:23:20 – 01:55:30:18
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Sir.
01:55:30:20 – 01:55:51:00
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
They put that thing in. You don’t work right away. You going on thinking nothing happened to you. But they didn’t drop something on your seed. Yes. Pretty soon it’s breaking down your form. All you have to do is look for little things and you will see your form is breaking down. You don’t want the paper no more, right?
01:55:51:02 – 01:56:12:04
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
You don’t want the classes no more. You gone away from the mean. This is why the scripture say it’s a great falling away spider and got a lot of folks. Now I just hope it don’t get me right, If I’m lightweight, it got a chance to get me right and notice you. You’re not. You’re not going looking for the spider.
01:56:12:07 – 01:56:19:25
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
The spider knows your travel route. Meaning they know your routine. Oh, he always come out on Wednesday, right?
01:56:19:29 – 01:56:20:22
Speaker 2
Right.
01:56:20:25 – 01:56:45:26
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
I don’t see him on Sunday, but I see him on Wednesday. Hey, you believe in all that? You helping you, and you ain’t paying no attention. You thinking all this all nonsense? I ain’t paying no attention to it. But if the if the inside get in, you pretty soon start breaking down your form. You’re just waiting. You just waiting for episode of event of something get you disturbed.
01:56:45:26 – 01:56:49:20
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
And then pretty soon you start feeding on that stuff form. Start, break.
01:56:49:20 – 01:56:50:15
Speaker 2
Into.
01:56:50:17 – 01:56:53:21
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Right. Good. It’s a.
01:56:53:24 – 01:56:54:29
Speaker 2
Hallelujah word.
01:56:55:01 – 01:57:07:18
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Pretty soon you don’t want to look the way Elijah wanted you to look, the way Farrakhan wanted you to look. You got your own idea about how you want to look right?
01:57:07:20 – 01:57:09:16
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Oh. Yes, sir. See.
01:57:09:19 – 01:57:48:26
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
The science that he gave us on how to look? You know, we don’t believe in that science anymore. So by 29 years, the minister said in those years approaching 1975, unsavory characters started surrounding the Honorable Elijah Muhammad. All kind of different characters and the people from the East, they saw they couldn’t get him on. Elijah, let us take some of your followers, and we’re bringing them over to Saudi Arabia and teach them Islam.
01:57:48:26 – 01:57:50:13
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
And then he said, the hell you will.
01:57:50:18 – 01:57:53:04
Speaker 2
That’s right.
01:57:53:06 – 01:57:56:25
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
See, his love for us would not let him.
01:57:56:27 – 01:57:57:07
Speaker 2
Put.
01:57:57:07 – 01:58:02:20
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Us in the hands of somebody else that would corrupt us all over again.
01:58:02:22 – 01:58:04:14
Speaker 2
By the way. Yes, sir.
01:58:04:17 – 01:58:29:04
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
We around the Negro mind is around swapping slave masters. Given up one over here just to pick up another one over there. Fuck, I didn’t come to make you a slave all over again. To any man, whether they’re white, Arab or black.
01:58:29:06 – 01:58:32:03
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
It.
01:58:32:05 – 01:58:54:10
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Well, all of that happen. See, in that 2029 year period and right at the end when you have the 29th year, all this stuff starts, the nation goes down. Now, when you study the rebuilding.
01:58:54:12 – 01:58:58:06
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
The Million Man March is important for us.
01:58:58:08 – 01:58:59:04
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Yes, sir.
01:58:59:06 – 01:59:03:26
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Why? Because right now we’re at the 29th anniversary.
01:59:03:29 – 01:59:05:23
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
That’s right.
01:59:05:25 – 01:59:16:12
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
The scripture says, of all the things Jesus did when Jesus went to bring Lazarus from the grave, this is the thing that angered the most.
01:59:16:14 – 01:59:17:22
Speaker 2
Yes, sir.
01:59:17:25 – 01:59:24:28
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
I think could over somebody come and tell Jesus Lazarus is dead.
01:59:25:00 – 01:59:26:13
Speaker 2
When.
01:59:26:15 – 01:59:35:09
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
It’s been two days. So he knew. But he deliberately waited. What, two more days? The scripture says.
01:59:35:14 – 01:59:38:03
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Right.
01:59:38:05 – 01:59:47:12
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Lazarus was dead two days and we learned of it. You wait two more days. So it’s four days now when he gets there.
01:59:47:15 – 01:59:48:25
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Teach brother Minister.
01:59:48:28 – 02:00:19:09
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
And Martha comes running out when she sees him. That’s Lazarus sister. And she said, had you been here, my brother would have lived. Jesus said two things. First thing he wanted to know, he said he’s asleep and he didn’t call him dead. But he said, show me where you laid him. That says to me, the man wanted to know when you gave up on him.
02:00:19:11 – 02:00:27:09
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Just show me where you gave up on him. And that’s where I’ll start teaching. When you give up on the black man.
02:00:27:15 – 02:00:28:12
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Jesus, brother.
02:00:28:14 – 02:00:37:15
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Because you know, he’s been ruined every kind of way you can think of. I’m not, but I’m. I’m here to tell you there’s a love for him.
02:00:37:17 – 02:00:38:04
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Yes, sir.
02:00:38:11 – 02:01:06:17
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
That a pick him up where you laid him down. Look, look, look, look how he’s talking now. And she says I know he’ll be raised on the resurrection Day. He said, look, I beg your pardon. I am the resurrection and the light. And now I’m so close to God. Whosoever will believe in me, even if he were dead, yet shall he live?
02:01:06:19 – 02:01:39:29
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Think of this now. This man is talking with some power. Now this is one of the I am in the book of John. And and, so 95 when they see this, 2 million men come, they say, we gotta do some. And then black people here didn’t understand. Why would Farrakhan get up and start going all around the world to prove the Honorable Elijah Muhammad words, brother, Allah has gone ahead of you and made friends for you all over the planet.
02:01:40:01 – 02:01:54:08
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
I’ve watched film that has the minister went in countries he had he had never been in. He sat with people he had never met before in his life. The outpouring of love that was there, meaning something preceded his visit.
02:01:54:12 – 02:01:55:08
Speaker 2
That’s right.
02:01:55:11 – 02:02:08:15
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Somebody got there before he got there, sir. He had a friend when he got there because God’s friend wasn’t going to get to a house where he was unwelcome.
02:02:08:18 – 02:02:09:20
Speaker 2
Right?
02:02:09:23 – 02:02:31:03
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Only one place he went where I told you before, they didn’t want Elijah Mohammed’s name mentioned, and they didn’t want the author this one mile down in Muhammad Ali’s. And the minister said, I hadn’t thought about mentioned it, but now that you brought it up, that’s exactly what I’m going to do. And he spanked them. Yes, but look at this.
02:02:31:05 – 02:03:07:00
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
From 1995 to 2024 is 29 years, and we are in a phase of the minister’s life, work, what he’s born to do, a phase of it. Yes, sir. And you know, the minister said once they, they did an experiment with a spider and they tampered with it. They injected something in a spider, and they noticed when they did it, it altered the spider’s ability to spin a perfectly symmetrical web.
02:03:07:03 – 02:03:30:29
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
It had it was crooked. Every time the spider spent the web because of how they tamper. And he said, that’s a lesson for us, that whatever is in the heart, it’s going to show up in the work of your hands. They’re connected. That’s why. That’s why before Moses even gets started, Allah tells him, put your hand over your heart.
02:03:31:01 – 02:03:38:16
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
And it says when he withdrew his hand from over his heart, you said his hand was corrupt. Why? Because he had lived under Pharaoh.
02:03:38:21 – 02:03:39:15
Speaker 2
That’s right.
02:03:39:17 – 02:03:48:01
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
But he told them, repeated now, and put your hand under your heart. You’ve been under my teaching. I’ve raised you up into my wisdom. And his hand was.
02:03:48:01 – 02:03:49:06
Speaker 2
Pure and.
02:03:49:06 – 02:04:11:09
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Restored. Because when a man does a good work, he can only do it out of the good that’s already stored up in his heart. And his heart will hold that good. And his hands were reflective when he works. How can you say the Honorable Elijah Muhammad and the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan have done only good with their hand?
02:04:11:09 – 02:04:20:18
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
But you’re going to tell us their hearts are corrupt. The good that they have done came from the goodness that’s already stored up in his heart. Man.
02:04:20:20 – 02:04:33:12
Speaker 2
It’s the heart of a servant. He’s trying to give us that kind of heart.
02:04:33:14 – 02:05:19:18
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
I’m close. And look at this. Here. Come on, brother Jabril. May Allah forever be pleased with our brother. Brother Jabril, he asked this other man, what is it about black people here in America that despite our extraordinarily wretched condition, despite the attitude and disposition that makes us so precious or so valuable in the eyesight of God, according to what the Honorable Elijah Muhammad preached for 44 years, and that you have preached now going on 29 years absent his presence.
02:05:19:24 – 02:05:45:04
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Look at the ministers. And whenever a scientist who desires to produce something, he has to look for the right material. All right. There is no creative act that does not involve some form of material. Just see when, when, when when when the Lord created himself, he used the dead matter.
02:05:45:06 – 02:05:46:02
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Yes, sir.
02:05:46:05 – 02:05:50:02
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Of space.
02:05:50:04 – 02:06:17:28
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Sometimes you try one piece of metal. It doesn’t work. You try another. But you’re always looking for the right material so you can produce the right result. That’s not in the mind of the materials, in the mind of the creator. It’s in the mind of the person that has an idea in mind for the material. The material doesn’t matter until the idea.
02:06:18:00 – 02:06:18:16
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
That’s right.
02:06:18:19 – 02:06:24:04
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
It’s dead matter. It don’t matter, right until the idea comes.
02:06:24:07 – 02:06:24:24
Speaker 2
Yes.
02:06:24:26 – 02:06:50:18
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
The carrier of that idea wants to use that material for a purpose. Having said that, the last 50,000 years of the tribe of Shahbaz a struggle, the tribe of Shahbaz, his history has made us into a useful material for a purpose that involves infinity.
02:06:50:19 – 02:06:52:12
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
That’s right.
02:06:52:14 – 02:07:00:12
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Our father, Shahbaz, who was one of the major scientists, decided to produce a people close to nature.
02:07:00:14 – 02:07:00:22
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Right?
02:07:00:26 – 02:07:34:24
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
To see a people who could conquer the jungle life of East Africa or East Asia, as it is now called Africa. He wanted a people who would conquer the jungle life and conquer that which was akin to the jungle life. He wanted to produce that kind of people. Although the other scientists, disagreed with him. See, notice he didn’t just say a jungle life, but that which is akin to a jungle life.
02:07:34:26 – 02:08:12:27
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
You hang out in Philly long enough. You see, jungle life. Jungle life is colorful. You know, people are colorful in jungle life. If you ever been in the street, you you they got strips. It’s real colorful. People dressed, colorful. Their language is colorful, right? It’s, It’s like code. The social scientific thinkers call it the subculture. All right, see, some of us, we never grew up hanging out in pool halls and and the clubs and, pardon me, different things, but it’s real.
02:08:13:04 – 02:08:14:08
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
That’s jungle life.
02:08:14:11 – 02:08:15:17
Speaker 2
Right?
02:08:15:19 – 02:08:44:16
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
If you go in the jungle now, the flowers are a far more beautiful than anything growing around here. If you go to jungle life now, the leaves are even brighter. The birds are fantastically more colorful than the than the birds that fly around Philadelphia. A pigeon, even a seagull or something. But you go in the jungle. These birds are colorful, but the jungle is deadly.
02:08:44:18 – 02:09:14:22
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
You see, I grew up, my family had eight nightclubs, so I grew up around in nightclub life. And I know people are deadly. They carry razors, all kinds of things to to hurt people because they know they out there. They know you drink and fancy and even the glass, you drink it out of a fancy, you know, and everything’s colorful, you know, and everybody, everybody’s hip and cool, and you’re in the fast lane.
02:09:14:25 – 02:09:38:15
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Right. But but they deadly. Yeah. And you let somebody get in a fight and they slap razors out and slice half somebody’s face off or something. See? So it’s a jungle life. And don’t tell me, you know, people are lazy. Addicts are some of the most working is people. They beat you up in the morning. You get up in the morning going to work.
02:09:38:15 – 02:09:59:14
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
They already shake and tell you they they move it around. They gotta get to work or they’re not going to get a fix. Jungle life. But look look what Shabazz did. He he his aim wasn’t to make jungle life. His aim was to make somebody close to nature. Because you can’t destroy nature.
02:09:59:17 – 02:10:00:29
Speaker 2
That’s right.
02:10:01:02 – 02:10:21:02
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
All them fires you see burning around. Things burn down. All that’s going to grow back. Cause you. The fire didn’t kill the earth. That’s right. And all that’s going to come right back up like nature. So Mr. Shabazz made a people close to nature, which means he made a people indestructible, right?
02:10:21:04 – 02:10:22:03
Speaker 2
Jeans broke.
02:10:22:06 – 02:10:40:17
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
They got crack out here. They got ecstasy out here, they got whiskey out here. They got they they laced all the reefer. Now with stuff. It ain’t like Woodstock and all that stuff I grew up around. That is stuff on this reef. And you don’t know where you going to end up. You smoke a joint today, you know?
02:10:40:21 – 02:11:04:23
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
So look, they still can’t destroy us. Every day in every city we stay in. In the morning, some black person killed another black person. So you figure in the course of a day, through the whole country, thousands of us have died at the hands of somebody. They look like us, and they still can’t wipe us out.
02:11:04:26 – 02:11:05:27
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
With.
02:11:06:00 – 02:11:29:27
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
How many of it is supposed to be more them than that? Then than than us. But with the numbers they given us, we should have been extinct by now, right where we’re coming from. If we killing each other off every day. I’m not talking about. We don’t miss a day and no city. And all you gotta do is add up the stats.
02:11:30:04 – 02:11:40:16
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
And if you go from the time I saw the the heart of this servant because he saw it way back when I first heard him in 1979, he was talking about us killing each other.
02:11:40:18 – 02:11:42:10
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Yes, sir.
02:11:42:13 – 02:11:57:26
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
And we haven’t stopped killing each other. So let’s go down to what the minister said. He said the Honorable Elijah Muhammad taught me. I don’t know who else heard him say this. It’s impossible, he said, for the black man to destroy himself.
02:11:57:28 – 02:11:59:13
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Yes, sir.
02:11:59:16 – 02:12:14:11
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
He said the scientist who was so upset and who was so disappointed that he could not get all the people to speak the same dialect. 66 trillion years ago. He decided to destroy everybody, including himself.
02:12:14:14 – 02:12:16:08
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
That’s right. Yes, sir.
02:12:16:10 – 02:12:36:15
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
As the messenger taught us, he drilled. See? That’s somebody. If they can’t get their way, they’d rather tear the whole thing up. As the messenger taught us, he drilled a hole in the earth, which was then called moon. He filled it with high explosives. His desire was to destroy all life. But he created something useful. The moon.
02:12:36:20 – 02:12:38:05
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Yes, sir.
02:12:38:07 – 02:12:51:28
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Having said that, no matter what we did to ourselves in rebellion, against the wishes of the other members of the family of gods in the circle of gods, it was then overridden by a higher purpose and power.
02:12:52:01 – 02:12:53:00
Speaker 2
Yes, sir.
02:12:53:02 – 02:13:27:28
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
We did conquer the jungle. Life. He did make a people close to nature. That’s a very powerful statement. Close to nature. What does that really mean? Close to nature would mean to me. Close to the very essence of the power of God to create out of his nature. Nature so close to nature means to me, close to the essence of God in his ability to create whatever he creates out of his nature.
02:13:28:02 – 02:13:37:25
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
A people like that other material who cannot be destroyed because you cannot destroy nature, nor can you destroy the God who produced it.
02:13:37:27 – 02:13:39:03
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Yes, sir.
02:13:39:06 – 02:13:43:13
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
When God created himself out of nothing.
02:13:43:13 – 02:13:45:25
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Yes, sir.
02:13:45:28 – 02:13:59:26
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Do you know now that he has done that, that we can take nothing and weaponize it? Yes. How do you weaponize nothing? By doing nothing?
02:13:59:28 – 02:14:01:00
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
No.
02:14:01:02 – 02:14:44:29
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Black people could just sit down. In 1962 and 63, Medgar Evers of the NAACP was fighting for voting rights in Jackson, Mississippi. This was one, you might say, for white folks. This was one of the, strong economic centers. In the South, Jackson, Mississippi, and in Jackson, Mississippi. Mississippi was the the only state that you could go to the state capital and get the blue book on how you were supposed to live in Mississippi, if you were white, and how you supposed to live if you were black.
02:14:45:02 – 02:15:09:16
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
And in there, you’ll see that we weren’t supposed to touch the same silverware. Whites and blacks were not supposed to touch each other’s skin. I’m talking about what you could go to jail for. You could go in there, store and spend your money. But what you could not do was socialize with them. I’m telling you, man, it was against the law.
02:15:09:16 – 02:15:16:19
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
I’m not just talking about somebody. Didn’t like seeing you do that. You could be arrested for that and go to jail for that.
02:15:16:22 – 02:15:17:05
Speaker 2
Yes.
02:15:17:07 – 02:15:31:24
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
In Mississippi they were so openly racist. In Jackson, Mississippi, you didn’t need the Klu Klux Klan putting on things to scare black people. The White Citizens Council was vicious enough.
02:15:31:27 – 02:15:32:20
Speaker 2
Yes, sir.
02:15:32:22 – 02:15:55:13
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
So Medgar Evers said this. He said, look, we everywhere we go to try to vote. And if you belong to the NAACP and they found out you lost your job and the mortgage companies where you were paying a mortgage called the whole mortgage in. So a lot of people who were members of the NAACP in Mississippi, they lost their homes, they lost their jobs and everything.
02:15:55:16 – 02:16:22:08
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Even Rosa Parks in Alabama had to move to Detroit after she sat down on that bus. They wasn’t going to let her be able to do nothing. Or her husband. So, Medgar Evers say, well, what are we going to do? We’re going to boycott the stores. In other words, we’re going to do nothing right? We’re just going to sit down and do nothing.
02:16:22:08 – 02:16:43:28
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
We’re not going to spend no money or anything. To this day, a lot of white businesses went out of business and never recovered. When we sat down, what did we do? We took nothing and weaponized it. You ain’t got to get no gun. We not getting ready to fight. No white folks. We’re not getting ready to go around with no picket signs and none, you know, what are we going to do?
02:16:43:29 – 02:17:10:17
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
We’re going to sit down and do nothing. When we had the Million Man March, the minister was calling on black America to just on one day on the 16th, sit down and do nothing. Don’t spend not don’t even buy a package of chewing gum. Don’t give them the luxury of your dollar and your nickels and dimes just for one day.
02:17:10:17 – 02:17:39:25
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
And he said, if you could join me, black America, we could show them what this country looks like without us. Well, naturally, we didn’t do it. But had we done it, you would have seen nothing get weaponized and it would shake this economy at his foundations. Because even though we have value, we got eyes and can’t see ears can’t hear hearts.
02:17:39:25 – 02:18:07:17
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Where would we understand? We can be the greatest thing on earth. But it ain’t real till we see it. It ain’t real till we hear it. It’s not real till we have hearts. Where we really understand our value. So the minister says this. People then were put through many extreme trials to fashion the material, to harden the material, to shape the material.
02:18:07:24 – 02:18:40:00
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
So the thousands of years in the jungle and then being captured by Sir John Hawkins, being brought on a westerly course, many could not survive the journey. That’s the slave ships that was producing special material. Those who survived were the stronger of the strong. We’re only here because our real bloodline was stronger than all the cruelties that was put on us when we were packed in those slave ships.
02:18:40:02 – 02:18:40:18
Speaker 2
Bro.
02:18:40:20 – 02:19:08:07
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
I’ve read a stat that showed that something like two out of every ten died in the Middle passage. And as the years progressed, fewer died. But, you know, when we started out, most of us died coming over the middle passage. So if you packed 400 slaves in there, you might come back with 150 by the time you land here, until they learn how to work to keep more alive.
02:19:08:09 – 02:19:35:21
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
The minister said. The material being tested, the material being fashioned into that which could never be destroyed after 400 years of servitude, slavery and the worst form of slavery that human beings have ever had to endure. The birth of Master Fried Muhammad and watch this and the right of Master Fried Muhammad into the knowledge of himself and into the knowledge of the.
02:19:35:24 – 02:19:46:02
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
If the man who started this had to rise into the knowledge of himself.
02:19:46:04 – 02:19:54:04
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
How did he do that? The Honorable Elijah Muhammad said, I’m just abbreviating thing. He studied for 42 years.
02:19:54:06 – 02:19:55:14
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
That’s right.
02:19:55:16 – 02:20:05:21
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
And what will prove to him that what he grew into was true? He would have to have the right kind of material.
02:20:05:23 – 02:20:06:22
Speaker 2
That’s right.
02:20:06:24 – 02:20:09:20
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
In order to prove that himself.
02:20:09:20 – 02:20:10:09
Speaker 2
Yes.
02:20:10:12 – 02:20:17:28
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
So he’s gotta find a man that nobody can do anything with. That’s good.
02:20:18:03 – 02:20:20:22
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Yes, sir.
02:20:20:24 – 02:20:25:10
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
And put something in that man that’s in accord with.
02:20:25:14 – 02:20:26:15
Speaker 2
What.
02:20:26:18 – 02:20:57:22
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Was in him after he rose into the knowledge of himself. So look what he said to Elijah. I will only accept myself in them. Right? How can you accept yourself in us unless you are putting yourself in us, I rise. It’s not just because we’re black, I rise is because whatever degree we’re putting some of him in us, we’re got the power to rise up.
02:20:57:24 – 02:20:59:04
Speaker 2
Yes, sir.
02:20:59:07 – 02:21:21:03
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
But we can’t stop there. They would love to stop that process. He’s gone, and they still can’t do nothing with us. Right? Yes. He left in 1934. As much as you can blame on him. How many years can you keep blaming something on one man who’s already gone?
02:21:21:05 – 02:21:21:22
Speaker 2
Right?
02:21:21:25 – 02:21:23:00
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
He’s proving to.
02:21:23:00 – 02:21:25:08
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Us.
02:21:25:10 – 02:21:34:10
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
That what was with him was force and power. Force and power. The Honorable Elijah Muhammad said, describes God.
02:21:34:17 – 02:21:36:02
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Yes, sir.
02:21:36:04 – 02:21:45:16
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
If if the cigaret got force and got power over you, it’s your God.
02:21:45:19 – 02:21:47:04
Speaker 2
Yes.
02:21:47:06 – 02:22:18:01
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
If whiskey and drugs got force and power over you, it’s your god. So if the white man got force and power over us, that’s our God. Until one comes. That’s more powerful than him. That’s right. And I at least have the opportunity to turn right from the one that I been under to the one that’s calling me now.
02:22:18:03 – 02:22:22:00
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Paul says, Satan is the.
02:22:22:00 – 02:22:23:03
Speaker 2
God.
02:22:23:05 – 02:23:06:26
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Of this world. So this world system and way of life, Satan is the God of it. That’s why sport and play. Have a higher place in the world that we’re in. But the purpose that God created us for was not for sport and play. So, man, it’s is so much here he’s talking about. But he goes on to say, after he, he rises into the knowledge of the idea of a new creation, a new sun, a new moon and a new star, a new heaven and a new earth.
02:23:07:03 – 02:23:33:09
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Then out of the material of the darkness, 78, trillion years ago, God formed himself. And out of the material the darkness came. That which we now see. So he says this material fashion by time. Master FA Muhammad then saw that which he needed to make what he had in mind. The material didn’t matter. We didn’t matter to anybody.
02:23:33:11 – 02:24:05:07
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
We were with a stone that the builders of civilization rejected. If you if you and I are a rejected class and a rejected social group, nobody in this civilization, in what they got in mind to do with it, they can’t figure out anything to really do with us. We’re useless to them. So killing us off, don’t make them lose sleep at night.
02:24:05:10 – 02:24:12:05
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Are you following now?
02:24:12:07 – 02:24:44:23
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
We’ve been fashioned by the time. But he knew the value to him because it fit his purpose. So he goes on to say. It is the purpose of God that makes us precious. The purpose of God is what makes us valuable. So that tells me if I walk away from the man that’s representing that God, I lose my value with that God.
02:24:44:25 – 02:25:10:28
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Good Jesus, are you following the, The devil may celebrate you for a while. He ain’t going to celebrate me. I’ve been. I’ve been here too long. Even if I change my mind and try to go back, I’m finish that. He ain’t never going to let me forget that I win against his world. See, when I came in, I couldn’t take a shahada.
02:25:10:28 – 02:25:37:07
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
The minister told us there has to be a writ of divorce. You can’t just say, oh, we. We’re not together no more. We’re divorced. And you didn’t go sign some papers. If you sign some papers to be married, you have to show evidence that you divorce. Are y’all listen to me now. The writ for divorce is filed with the court.
02:25:37:10 – 02:26:04:25
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
It’s called a writ. So the minister said there has to be. You can’t just take a shot of the day. You got to have a writ of divorce because you can’t be a muslim and you have not divorced yourself from this world. To be a muslim today, you gotta grow a spine, man. You gotta be able to stand up today.
02:26:04:28 – 02:26:34:14
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Look at this. So the Bush administration does not want the Islamic Republic of Iran to get his grip on nuclear knowledge. Why? What do they fear? They say, you know, they want to marshal the forces to keep Iran from what could threaten them. It is the same today. We are precious in the sight of God, not because of our righteousness, not because of any good that we have done.
02:26:34:16 – 02:27:07:06
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
We’re precious in his sight because time and circumstance has made us into the right material that he desires to use as the foundation of an eternal government. We are valuable. We are precious in the sight of God, because time and circumstance has fashioned us into the material that can be utilized to make a government and a world that would never end.
02:27:07:09 – 02:27:21:14
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Let me tell you something, man. There’s nobody else that God has slated to do this job.
02:27:21:16 – 02:27:53:28
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
We don’t have a list of other people that he intends to use, because what? What kind of time and circumstance has made someone else to be in the wretched condition that God found us in? It’s not a matter of who can do it and who can. It’s a matter of, are we the right material? And you’re not the right material if you’ve never been a slave, are you following now?
02:27:54:01 – 02:27:56:15
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
You never been a slave. You’re not the right material.
02:27:56:18 – 02:27:57:17
Speaker 2
That’s right.
02:27:57:19 – 02:28:07:29
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
If if if if if you’ve never been robbed of the knowledge of who you are, you’re not the right material. Come on.
02:28:08:01 – 02:28:08:22
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
If.
02:28:08:24 – 02:28:19:19
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
If you always knew who your God was, then you’re not the right material. If somebody.
02:28:19:21 – 02:28:42:18
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Didn’t take your name from you, and you always had the name of your people, you are not the right material minister. You would have to be somebody that don’t know your God, somebody that don’t know yourself on somebody whose name was taken from them. Because if your name was taken from you when your God claimed you, he has the right to give you his name.
02:28:42:20 – 02:28:43:16
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
That’s right.
02:28:43:18 – 02:29:09:27
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
We where the name Muhammad now. That’s it. But that’s not the name we were born with. Many of us are wearing attributes now, and different names coming from the man that God gave us. But we weren’t born with those names. We didn’t even know our Koran existed. We didn’t know about this God. We didn’t know about this religion right?
02:29:09:29 – 02:29:14:21
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
So he had to come and make himself known and make known to us.
02:29:14:23 – 02:29:15:27
Speaker 2
Come on.
02:29:16:00 – 02:29:31:02
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
What our true religion was, which we didn’t know was really the nature that we were created in. Most people that are in religion today, religiosity, they have died in their religion. It don’t have no.
02:29:31:03 – 02:29:33:08
Speaker 2
Power, no power.
02:29:33:11 – 02:29:54:12
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
To change what Satan is doing on this planet. If religion really had power, could Netanyahu be doing what he’s doing? Could Putin be doing what he’s doing? Could America have gotten away with her crimes over the years? Could she have done what she has done and do what she is doing? If religion had the power to stop.
02:29:54:12 – 02:29:56:20
Speaker 2
Them, or ain’t.
02:29:56:27 – 02:30:02:14
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
But one man that’s representing the power that can stop them, and they’re trying to stop him.
02:30:02:16 – 02:30:07:09
Speaker 2
And ultimately they want to stop us, but we can’t let that.
02:30:07:09 – 02:30:15:28
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Happen. I thank you for listening, and I. Salaam alaikum. Yes.
02:30:16:01 – 02:30:20:02
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Thank you.
02:30:20:05 – 02:31:12:00
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
I’m going to bring Brother Joseph up. But, you know, family. We got we have a short, a shorter time now. We never had a long time on, but we have even a shorter time now. So to make something happen for black America, either this power is with us or is not. We have a right. If God calls us to do something, to go follow what he told us to do, we have a right to believe him, that he will not fail in his promise, that we will not suffer, and we would not be in ruin, and we will not suffer loss, even though it looks like that it is calculated that way.
02:31:12:00 – 02:31:17:12
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
But see, the Koran tells us Satan threatens us with poverty.
02:31:17:15 – 02:31:18:21
Speaker 2
02:31:18:23 – 02:31:40:13
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
But a lot promises you abundance. That puts me in the valley to say who? Who am I going to believe at every turn? If God calls me to give something and Satan threatens me with poverty, has God ever taken anything from me? No. But Satan has. So a man who’s threatening me with poverty, he’s taking things from me.
02:31:40:15 – 02:31:50:13
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
He he’s taking some. Every time I look around. I’m not that I can’t. I can’t do nothing on internet without an ad coming through.
02:31:50:15 – 02:31:51:19
Speaker 2
Come on, man.
02:31:51:21 – 02:32:06:00
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
And somebody dancing in front of me to get me to buy something. This man is trying to take something from me every. All day long. You can’t turn on a, electronic device.
02:32:06:02 – 02:32:15:19
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Where he is not commercialized. Something he’s always taking. But God has always given the breath of life he gave me.
02:32:15:20 – 02:32:16:06
Speaker 2
Yes, sir.
02:32:16:09 – 02:32:22:09
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
The breath I breathed 20 minutes ago. I can’t even go get it back.
02:32:22:12 – 02:32:32:11
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
So the only way I can stay alive for 20 minutes. He has to give me another breath. But the man that’s threatening me with poverty, he didn’t cause me to breathe.
02:32:32:14 – 02:32:33:13
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Right.
02:32:33:16 – 02:32:41:20
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
And if he has his way, once he gets what little money we got, he’ll take my last breath.
02:32:41:22 – 02:32:43:27
Speaker 2
02:32:43:29 – 02:33:05:14
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
But if you got eyes and can’t see, then you think that he can put you on the road to your salvation. And you’ll look at Farrakhan and think only doom and curse and will come to you. If you can’t hear, then you too busy listening to Trump.
02:33:05:16 – 02:33:33:20
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
And Biden or somebody teach and you don’t want to hear Farrakhan. Don’t think it’s not happening to you. Our actions are evidence about what we see, what we hear, what we feel and what our action. And guess what? Our inaction is proven to us and to others every day. What’s happening to us inside here. So, Brother Joseph, a close us out.
02:33:33:21 – 02:33:40:07
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Thank you again. Salaam aleikum.

Attention, prayer. In the name of Allah, the beneficent, the Most Merciful, the one God to whom all praises due the Lord of the world, the beneficent, the Most Merciful, master of the day of Judgment in which we now live. The alone do we serve, and the alone do we beseech for aid. Oh Allah, guide us on the straight path, the path of those upon whom thou has bestowed favors, and not the path of those upon whom thy wrath is brought down, nor of those who go astray.
02:41:10:19 – 02:41:35:23
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
After hearing that teaching, say he allies one allies, he upon whom we all depend, he neither beget, nor is he begotten, and there is none like him. I bear witness that none deserves to be served to worship besides Allah, who appears to us in the person of master W farad Muhammad, or eternally grateful to him for given to us his wise choice, and the messenger Messiah, the exalted, the risen and living Christ, and the most honorable Elijah Muhammad.
02:41:35:25 – 02:41:55:05

I mean, dear family, let us go in peace and remember you are the best. You are the righteous, you are the powerful, and we are never to be the aggressor. But if we are aggressive upon, we fight with those who fight with us.
02:41:55:09 – 02:41:56:05
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
I Salaam alaikum.
