The Teachings @Mosque #12 (11/10/2024)
00:00:05:11 – 00:00:12:25
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Nice. An amalgam at this time to your family. Can we please stand for prayer?
00:00:12:27 – 00:00:33:21
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
In the manner in which you are most comfortable, follow along silently. Surely I indeed turn to thee, O Allah. Strive in to be upright. To he who originated the heavens and the earth. And I am not of the polytheists. Surely my prayer, my sacrifice, my life, and my death are all for a law of the Lord of the worlds.
00:00:33:23 – 00:00:55:02
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
No associate has thee, and this am I commanded, and I am of those who submit. O Allah, the art the King. There is no God with thee. Thou art, my Lord, and I am not servant. And I have been greatly unjust to myself, and I confess my faults. So grant me protection against all my faults, for nonetheless protection against faults with thee, and guide me into the best of morals.
00:00:55:02 – 00:01:22:06
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
For none can guide into the best of morals. But thee, and turn away from me the evil and the indecent morals. For none can turn from me the evil and the indecent morals, but the and, O Allah, make Muhammad successful and make the true followers of Muhammad successful. If thou did make Abraham and the true followers of Abraham successful, but surely thou art praised and magnified, and who Allah blessed Muhammad and blessed the true followers of Muhammad.
00:01:22:09 – 00:01:44:12
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
The blessed Abraham, and the true followers of Abraham. For surely thou I praised and magnified. I mean, you may be seated in the name of Allah, the beneficent, the Most Merciful. We give praise and thanks to Allah for his coming and appearing to us in the person of master W Farad Mohammed, the long awaited Messiah of the Christians and the Mahdi of the Muslims.
00:01:44:19 – 00:02:09:13
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
We thank him for leaving his seat in Paradise to come and see and save that which was lost. And that is the black man and woman in the hills of North America. We thank him for spending three years and four months among us. And in that time, at a meeting like this one, a man showed up, a giant among men, to hear this wonderful, wonderful teaching from the master teacher, a man who showed up who had questions.
00:02:09:15 – 00:02:28:28
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
But upon hearing the master teacher teach, his questions were being answered. As Master Farad Muhammad spoke. And when it was his time to get close to the master, which is at the end of the meeting, which we call acceptance, he walked up and he got close to him, and he said that because of scriptures, he identified him on face value as soon as he saw him.
00:02:29:05 – 00:02:55:14
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
That’s in. But when he was close to him, he said these words, I know who you are, and the master choose posing close and tells him, yes, brother, but who knows it? But you and pussy mourn. But it didn’t end there. The relationship continued to develop even up until this very moment. The reason we are here today is because of that exchange from that Georgia born giant who was, according to Scripture we hear about all in the donkey.
00:02:55:16 – 00:03:22:17
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
It says that, but all was riding on the donkey and the donkey was stopped in the middle of the road because he saw an angel there with a flaming sword. But the rider couldn’t see it. But the donkey did. Well, brothers and sisters, we thank, symbolically speaking, of the Honorable Elijah Muhammad, that Georgia born giant for recognizing Master Fard Muhammad, because at a certain point he told him, he said, Brother Kareem, I think we’ve gotten all that we going to get.
00:03:22:24 – 00:03:47:27
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
That means that he was getting ready to kill all of us. But the messenger told him, he said, no, if you’re going to kill them, you might as well kill me right along with him. And he said, Master Fard Muhammad told him, yes, brother. I knew you would say that. Isn’t that a beautiful thing? So we thank Almighty God, our Lord, for that wonderful, wonderful human being, the most honorable Elijah Muhammad, the greatest man, the greatest human being who has ever lived in the annals of history.
00:03:48:01 – 00:04:10:26
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Why? Because he’s saddled with the responsibility that no one before him and ever had. And that was to raise a dead black man and woman, not physically dead, but mentally, morally, socially, spiritually, economically, politically dead. If it sounds like anybody living a day to day is not an accident, that means that we write off point and that work is still being done today.
00:04:10:26 – 00:04:31:13
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
So we thank Allah for that Georgia born giant, that beautiful, beautiful mind and heart and the love that he had for you and me. However, I did not meet either of those first two, but as Master Farad, Muhammad had to leave and he left one in his stead. So when the Honorable Elijah Muhammad left, he did the same thing.
00:04:31:16 – 00:04:56:07
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
He left us not only with mercy, but he left us with a divine comforter, a man that loves you and me here regardless or regardless, to whatever whom or what he’s fighting for, you and I, and even for his detract. Black men, black women and poor people. He’s fighting for them too. They just don’t know it yet. But they’re going to soon find out.
00:04:56:09 – 00:05:32:03
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
But the man that I talk about, he is a leader, our leader, our teacher, our guy, our champion. He’s Abraham, he’s Moses, he’s the Jesus of the scriptures. He is Muhammad, and he is our illustrious leader and champion. The Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan is enduring all praises to Allah is in their names. I like to greet you all again with the greeting words of peace I Salaam alaikum and welcome, dear families, to the safest place you could be on the planet today.
00:05:32:05 – 00:06:02:25
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
And when I say on the planet, I’m talking about all 196,940,000mi² of earth, land and water. And that’s a whole lot of land and water. What is what land is what? 157,255,000 square mile. And the water is 139,685,000 square mile. And yet this little humble house right here is the safest place that you could be. Why is it because we removed everything that could cause you or I harm?
00:06:02:28 – 00:06:28:05
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
There’s nothing in here that’s going to do any harm if you do any harm in here today. We got you’re going to be doing it to yourself. But we’re going to stop even in here. We’ll stop you from doing that, because that’s how much love we got for ourselves and for you. So and saying that as a backdrop, thank you all for submitting to the check procedure for that is why this is a safe house, because we don’t allow certain things in here, and everybody had to be checked before coming in.
00:06:28:09 – 00:06:43:21
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
I was check, student reason on minister. He was checked. So what we’re saying. So let’s just say I said, wait a minute. It was checked. Hey, all of the Honorable Elijah Muhammad said we can change in the twinkling of an eye. I could be standing up here talking, making sense for a minute. There I was, and I snap.
00:06:43:28 – 00:07:00:17
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
And you see, the brothers got me all locked up. Carry me out of here because I’m showing up. Well, praise the Lord. We pray that that don’t happen. And I pray it right now that I don’t slip you. That I have to be, like a tooth extracted from the house. Y’all like family. Dear family, thank you for being here.
00:07:00:17 – 00:07:34:01
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
I’m always humbled to come before you. I never take this rostrum lightly. Yes, sir. Because of all the post that we can stand and every post that the brothers and sisters stand there all have a certain danger to come with them. But this one is more dangerous than the rest. And why do I say that? Because the best of us, the Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad, as is related in our history, he said that Master Muhammad told him, Brother, don’t you lose any of the forms, because if you do, I will burn you and your family.
00:07:34:03 – 00:07:51:01
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
So wait a minute. If the master, a blind person, will say that to the best of us, what about the rest of us who get up here and mishandle his people? We don’t stand a chance. So Brother Joseph is always humbled. And I’m very careful about how I speak. And if you believe, I pray before I come up here.
00:07:51:01 – 00:08:04:16
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Before we do the opening prayer, I’m saying a prayer that I don’t mess up and say the wrong thing and have somebody leave out because of something that I misquoted or said wrong to say. You right now, don’t get me wrong, I’m telling the truth and that moves you and you. You pull it out and that’s just me.
00:08:04:16 – 00:08:20:14
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
You ain’t going to be here. Because the truth is for everybody. And truth don’t need no chaser. Now, for those of you all, praise is due to a lot. But some of y’all might not understand some of y’all a little young. Maybe y’all go to the club and stuff. You know, you sometimes you go up there, you get that drink at the bar especially was written at Top Shield.
00:08:20:21 – 00:08:42:00
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
What they got is that. No no no I don’t need no chastening. Just give it to me. Need. That means you don’t want nothing mixed in it. Well, that’s what we have here today. We have. The truth is undiluted, is un unmixed and is un tampered with. And that’s why, no matter how you feel right now, when you get a drink, it is when you get a shot of this or a puff of this.
00:08:42:02 – 00:08:59:28
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
No matter how you feel right now, when you leave out of here, I’m telling you, you going to feel better. Oh, you’re going to feel exponentially better. Just absorb the truth. The same way we would have some of that drink back in the old days. That smoke, you know, we used to do well, choke on this one. It’s okay.
00:09:00:00 – 00:09:15:14
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Because what it did, you can get some more if you want it and it don’t cost you nothing. Y’all are family. All praise is due to a lot. Thank you again for submitting to the check procedure and this is our number one two in the Nation of Islam. This is the.
00:09:15:14 – 00:09:17:14
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Final call newspaper.
00:09:17:16 – 00:09:44:15
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
And when you hear that title is very, very specific at the final call, we just went through the election thing here process a couple days ago around the fifth, and everybody was all uneasy and all shaken up. Oh, what’s it going to be? Whose one’s going to win? Didn’t make any difference. If you went to Savior’s Day this year, the Honorable Elijah, the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan, told us, you can vote for either one of the candidates that you want, Republican or Democrat.
00:09:44:18 – 00:09:48:02
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
But if I were you, I would vote for God.
00:09:48:02 – 00:09:48:18
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
All right.
00:09:48:20 – 00:10:09:24
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Come on now. He will never fail is all. Praise is due to Allah, but for God. And that’s why we who are true believers in the teachings of the Honorable Elijah Muhammad and the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan, and even believe in Master Farad Muhammad. We weren’t shaken at all, man. In fact, like Brother Daniel said, but he was open it up last week.
00:10:09:29 – 00:10:34:16
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
He said, I slept rather wonderfully last night. I wasn’t moved at all when I got to this point. I feel really good. But anyway, long story short, we don’t get caught up with this because we already have the forecast long before these things take place. Then the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan tell us that the presidential, for our former president was going to be America’s last president.
00:10:34:18 – 00:10:57:08
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
And yet here he is again. And the ministers words coming true. Come on now, we got to walk with that. Bachmann. Don’t lie to her. Tell us the truth. Because he said this, the wars that are going on now or the war is the war of all wars. We are in the war Armageddon. We are walking through the valley of the shadow of death.
00:10:57:10 – 00:11:17:01
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
And when Master Fard Muhammad was leaving the Honorable Elijah Muhammad, he said that he was he. He wept. The Honorable Elijah Muhammad did because he was like he was losing the thing that made gave him everything that he wanted, he said. But Master Fard Muhammad said, brother, you be all right. And he put a piece of paper in his hand, and he said he didn’t read the paper until his teacher was gone.
00:11:17:01 – 00:11:40:06
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
And when he opened, it was a 23rd Psalm. Come on now. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death. And what are we walking through right now? We are walking through the valley of the shadow of death, because the current that these people that are running this world, they see their time is up and they throwing everything, including the kitchen sink, into it.
00:11:40:10 – 00:12:02:06
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Just try to stop our rise and therefore, if you look at it right now, the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan told us, at the time and what must be done along about part 35, where he talks about the grass, the seed and the natural. See, you can’t live together because the grafted seed will kill the natural seed. And that’s what these people have been doing.
00:12:02:06 – 00:12:30:12
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
If we’re the natural seed and everywhere you look, they’re murdering us. And people who have melanin, they’re murdering them. Why? Because they see their end coming. It’s here. The Honorable Elijah Muhammad told us that Allah has set the die against the womb of the white woman. We’re not making mockery, but they can’t have babies no more. That’s why when Trump talk about he, we closing the border, we don’t want no more immigrants coming in.
00:12:30:15 – 00:13:00:28
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
And he quoted weak accordionist saying these words, why can’t people from Scandinavia come here? Scandinavia? Those are Europeans. Why? Because they can’t produce their people nationality. So they want to import them in, but they don’t want nobody with melanin coming in because they’re the same goal. And we can prove it at no limit of time scientifically, that a black man, black woman, black baby, black man, white woman, black baby, white man, black woman, black baby.
00:13:01:00 – 00:13:20:12
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
So it always come back to us and they see that. And they don’t want no melanin being mixed in two themselves. So much so now they are bearing witness and hold and trying to grab hold of what the Muslims wore. We’re an honorable Elijah Muhammad said that race mixing should be against the law. Well, pretty soon they may even come up with that themselves.
00:13:20:14 – 00:13:40:24
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Oh, they got to do is look at the back inside page of the final call. We’ve been saying it for over 90 years. 91 years. Right, sir. As a be against the law. Well, that’s where we are now. That’s another subject for another time. But I just wanted to put that out there that showed you that the enemy is being, which is witness to our teaching, and yet we have it and we try to introduce it to our people.
00:13:40:26 – 00:14:01:12
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
They always want to turn it away. Their favorite line is, I’m good. Hey, hey. Anyway, good. We did it. I’m telling you, it’s a thing that really works best when you hear it. Because you know that the person isn’t doing good because you know the kind of world that we’re living in in a war zone, a nobody.
00:14:01:16 – 00:14:19:16
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Nobody’s doing good in a war zone. But pretty soon everybody’s going to be really scrambling. When are we going to see you as the final call, Randy? Article twice. There’s going to be anarchy in the streets. Well, what is anarchy? That’s lawlessness. That’s where it’s going to be. People be like the wild, wild West. I mean, my days to have gunfights in the street.
00:14:19:18 – 00:14:34:08
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Well, I mean, it’s kind of like that now, but this is going to be uncontrolled because the police force, they’re only going to come when they’re being sent out, and troops again, I’m just pricking our thoughts for and for the moment, but that’s another subject for another time. I have a question for you right now. Dear family. How many?
00:14:34:08 – 00:14:55:03
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
We’re out this, Friday for self-improvement. Praise be to Allah. Those that showed up. And we know. We know that self-improvement is the basis for community development. But did you know that when you came out to the class or not, from the first, the first time you set step into the Nation of Islam and the mosque you were on a self-improvement course?
00:14:55:06 – 00:15:17:14
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
That’s right. Unbeknownst to you, you were already on it. And then when the when the Honorable Elijah Muhammad taught us that Master Father Muhammad taught me what he brought and what the Honorable Elijah Muhammad teaches through the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan, he summed it up in the six little words except your own and be yourself. Wow, that don’t that sound easy, right?
00:15:17:18 – 00:15:36:03
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
But then you got to ask the question, well, what is myself, right? The Honorable Elijah Muhammad says that you are a righteous Muslim man. In fact, he goes on to say that you are the best. You are the righteous, you are the powerful. And look at those those stages you have to go through best righteous. And then powerful.
00:15:36:06 – 00:15:56:29
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
But the only way that we can extract those things from ourselves is that we have to come into a class. Well, the self-improvement study, of course, is such a class. Well, as a matter of fact, anytime tomorrow. This is a class. In truth, you have a speaker and things are being imparted to you. And if you don’t remember, you take notes and you go home and then you unpack it and you say, well, wait a minute, there’s more to this.
00:15:57:06 – 00:16:11:09
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Absolutely. But you got to take it home and look at it. You know how you get a package in the mail? Sometimes you don’t leave it wrapped right? As soon as you get it in the house, you start breaking that thing off. And if you if you were real sharp, if it came with instructions, you read them instructions, right?
00:16:11:16 – 00:16:29:13
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Because whatever you got to do, you have to put it together. You wanted to look right and perform the way you want it. Well, there are instructions for you and I. And once we unpack what we are being given from the teachings of the Honorable Elijah Muhammad to the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan, we will function the way that we are supposed to function.
00:16:29:16 – 00:16:50:04
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
You know, accept your own and be yourself. As soon as we came in, we got something called student enrollment. And for those of you who aren’t in yet weren’t thinking about coming in, what is that? Well, I’ll just start off with the first the first question that we have and the answer first question is asked of us is who is the original man?
00:16:50:07 – 00:17:18:25
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
That’s for women. Two who is the original man? The original man is the Asiatic black man, the maker, the owner, the cream of the planet Earth, God of the universe. Now, what is that? That’s the those are different stages, right? That we have to go through. But again, in order to go through you being a being the maker, the owner and the cream, that was the stages we go through in our evolutionary, process of development by being in the class.
00:17:18:27 – 00:17:45:20
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
And then we have something called actual facts. Yeah. Actual facts. Yeah. There’s the 196,940,000 square mile. The land is 57,255,000 square mile. The water is 139,685,000 square mile. Actual fact, actual means that it really exists. And if you go and check our actual facts, all you gotta do is to show you that they’re really true. Ours don’t change.
00:17:45:22 – 00:18:04:15
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
But prior to 1930, their numbers were all over the place. But right now, if you look at it, every time you look at they, they redo to get another telescope and they can go a little further out in into space. Their numbers are getting a lot closer to ours, but ours don’t change because they are actual facts. They really exist.
00:18:04:17 – 00:18:29:10
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
All praise is due to a lot. Then we have made the supreme wisdom. The Supreme Wisdom is so powerful. A little book about this thick, but it’s loaded. I mean, it’s like nitroglycerin. It’s like C-4, it’s like Simtek that once you start to read it and get in your mind and then boom, you get an explosion and an eruption starts and you start to see things just totally different.
00:18:29:12 – 00:18:46:14
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Just from the study. That’s why we all it’s called student enrollment because we’re students. As soon as we come in and when we leave, we are still students. And I don’t know, I don’t know about you, but when I for long before I came in, I was reading message to the Black Man. This is back in the 80s.
00:18:46:17 – 00:19:02:12
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
I was riding the train to Broad Street line. I was living in South Philly, then ride up and down. I mean, I was just riding sometime. I would almost miss my stop because I’m reading and the things that were. And it was so profound. And yet it’s not a book that you just read and put up on your shelf.
00:19:02:14 – 00:19:08:29
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
It is actually a book of reference so that as you have your life experiences, you can go back and look to.
00:19:08:29 – 00:19:09:13
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
See.
00:19:09:16 – 00:19:28:07
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
How far you’ve come in your understanding and your growth and development, just by referencing the book that you said, oh, I read that years ago. No, go back and get it. Because if you’re still alive, you will find that a lot of the things that you thought you knew because of life experiences now you say you were, oh, that’s what that meant.
00:19:28:09 – 00:19:47:19
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Oh, that’s what that means. And right now we do it every year and Ramadan, right? Believers every year. Ramadan. Don’t you open up the Holy Koran? And again, you’ve heard it said before, you run across a verse or a chapter that a verse in one of the chapters of Where that come from. I read this like the last 30 years.
00:19:47:21 – 00:20:05:18
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
I ain’t never seen that before. Well, isn’t it true that when you buy a new car, you think, oh man, I’m the only one with this? I mean, it might be if I saw 2 or 3 of them, but as soon as you hit the street and you look around, you’d be like, man, these cars are everywhere. You know why you didn’t see him?
00:20:05:21 – 00:20:22:05
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Because you weren’t looking for. Right? And the same thing with Scripture. Yeah. The only reason you didn’t see it is because you weren’t looking for it. But when you look for something, you eventually find what you’re looking for, don’t you? We that’s where we are, dear family. And hopefully as we as students come in here, we are looking for the truth.
00:20:22:07 – 00:20:37:08
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
We’re looking for a cure for the ailments and this psychological and spiritual ailments that we are all saddled with right now. Everybody in here going through something you ain’t got to tell me. You know how I know? Cause I’m going through something.
00:20:37:11 – 00:20:37:28
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Y’all.
00:20:38:00 – 00:20:54:11
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Y’all know what we do. And I like when he was growing up, my people from the South as a boy, you know what goes on in the house? Stays in the house. When you go out in public, you pose a common front. They act like everything cool up in here. Ain’t nothing wrong with us. You know, stuff is wrong, but you don’t show it.
00:20:54:13 – 00:21:11:05
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
You don’t hang your dirty laundry out for the world to see, right? You keep it in and then you work it out among us. So y’all all right? Well, the same thing with us, dear family. When we have differences, the Honorable Elijah Muhammad said that the differences we have are petty differences. You know, there are people in here that haven’t spoken to.
00:21:11:05 – 00:21:32:10
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
They’re not in us, per se, but there are people who haven’t spoken to their family members in years because of a petty difference. $20. I ain’t call my daddy in 25 years. I was in high school. I gave you $20. I ain’t calling since I ain’t talked to my brother in. I gave him $100. He ain’t give it back.
00:21:32:12 – 00:21:55:25
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
I ain’t talking to him. No more petty differences. What’s the $100 I to have a connection with your family member who can save you when you get into a difficult time? The Honorable Elijah Muhammad told us when we once we put down the petty differences and learn to take the strong medicine, is it because until we can learn to take strong medicine, we will never be a strong people?
00:21:55:27 – 00:22:13:19
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
What is the strong man? What is that strong medicine? The strong medicine is the truth. People don’t want to hear the truth. No. Tickle my ear, make me laugh, make me happy. But I don’t want the truth. Because now that puts a saddle on my back. And now I got to carry something that I didn’t want to carry at first.
00:22:13:24 – 00:22:33:11
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Oh, praise is due to Allah. No brothers and sisters. This is why we come here. We come here to learn how to carry the yoke. Hold on to the yoke, wear the saddle. But we gotta yoke it on to something that’s going to get us through the difficult time. And there is one. This there before the Honorable Elijah Muhammad departed us, he said, these.
00:22:33:11 – 00:22:34:19
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Words.
00:22:34:21 – 00:22:58:04
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Are lost. You is leader, teacher and guide. He said, when you see him, look at him where he tell you to go, go, and where he tells you to stay from. Stay from because he is a very spiritual brother. Continue to hear my Minister Farrakhan. Don’t waste words. That’s a prescription. We all had medical prescriptions before, right?
00:22:58:10 – 00:22:58:22
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Yes, sir.
00:22:58:26 – 00:23:14:18
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
You know what? If you follow it according to the way you should, you get better from whatever your affliction is, right? Right. But, I mean, if you take it like today, you don’t take it two days later or you take it and you take it says, take one twice a day and you go ahead and try to take six on that one day.
00:23:14:20 – 00:23:37:09
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Then you go back and see the doctor. He said, well, how hard at work. Oh no, that stuff didn’t work for me. I didn’t do nothing. Now he give you something stronger. Now you put yourself in double jeopardy because you didn’t follow the instruction. Well, the Honorable Elijah Muhammad gave us those instruction. And if we want to have success, if we want to heal from the afflictions that we are going through, we got to continue to hear and follow the instructions of the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan.
00:23:37:12 – 00:23:55:28
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Oh, praise is due to Allah. Dear family, you know we have. And the study guide. I’m going to go back to that just very quickly. It says Study Guide nine was the intimate relationship with Rub the alarming rub that means one who causes us to attain.
00:23:55:28 – 00:23:58:17
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Stage after stage until.
00:23:58:17 – 00:24:19:23
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
We reach any visible point of perfection. Now, if you already perfect, I ain’t gonna help you, but I rather doubt it. So I’m saying, dear family, what we need to do is to stay in this class and let’s put down our petty differences with each other because the fight is on. And if you’re in the trenches, you don’t need to be at variance with the person who’s letting you fight with you.
00:24:20:00 – 00:24:45:05
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
We want to go to we want to have cohesiveness. We want to have that congruency and that unity with each other, because your success is my success. And I’ll, go back to those words, those six words, except your own. And be yourself. And there’s a quote, it says, be yourself. Why? Because everyone else is already taking them.
00:24:45:07 – 00:25:02:23
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Go ahead. Oh, no. No, you can take it or leave it, but it’s up to us. All we got to do is to make a right decision because the ball is in our court. We are in the valley of decision. Do we want to live? Yes, sir. I’m sure. Do we want to die? The Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan said that y’all, he had a dream when the Honorable Elijah Muhammad.
00:25:02:27 – 00:25:27:25
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
He said he saw two doors. The one door says life. The other was dead. Or Islam? Christianity. He said choose life. Choose life so that you and your family may live. Y’all are so family. These are instructions that we have to follow. It’s a prescription that we have to take if we want to become our optimal self, and to our young people.
00:25:27:28 – 00:25:50:10
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Don’t, don’t, but don’t be too angry with us. Yeah, we we we we went through some stuff, we’ve been going through some stuff and we know that we’ve let you down in a lot of areas, but we try, we going to try to come back and reach back and give you a hand. We love, we love you, we love our youth and we want to help our youth because you are you are our future.
00:25:50:13 – 00:26:10:12
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
And as the Honorable Elijah Muhammad says to us, you are the best. You are the righteous. You are the power. Now. Thank you, dear family, for the time I’ve been allotted. Let us bring to this rostrum right now a powerful teacher. He is our Delaware Valley student regional minister, always on work, always working hard regardless of who or what.
00:26:10:14 – 00:26:30:09
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
He’s there. You even see him out there treading the path with the soldiers. As we are going through calls. You see him in the final call right there out front as a good leader should be along with our captain. So let’s bring him up now. Our Delaware Valley student, regional minister, student minister Rodney Muhammad, the.
00:26:30:11 – 00:26:37:16
Unknown
All right. Here we have different.
00:26:37:19 – 00:26:40:00
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Salaam alaikum.
00:26:40:02 – 00:27:13:15
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
In the name of Allah, the beneficent, the merciful, the one God to whom praise is. Do the Lord of the worlds. We thank Almighty God and cannot thank him enough. For revealing his truth. Which is what all of creation was created with. And, you know, even though. They’ve used religion to double cross us, the truth will never double cross itself.
00:27:13:17 – 00:28:12:05
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
So, you know, Jesus was made to say, if you know the truth, the truth will set you free, not religion. And if religion won’t set you free, it might be religion that’s holding you in captivity because you got a misinterpretation of the truth. So we thank Almighty God. He reveals his truth. And to make certain that his truth is understood in the way that it should be understood, we are taught by Almighty God that, from Abraham to Muhammad, his prophets, that brought his truth to people, to bring the truth in a way that is made clear and understood, because once something’s understood, then you know exactly what you accept in and you know
00:28:12:05 – 00:28:53:17
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
exactly what you’re rejecting. That takes God Himself, right? And so, though we are thankful for the prophets, we’re most thankful to Allah for these last days where he has revealed himself in the person of Master Fard Muhammad, to whom praise is due forever. Wherever God is, the knowledge is greater there than anywhere else. Wherever God is, the wisdom is greater than anywhere else.
00:28:53:19 – 00:29:17:21
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
And wherever God is, the power is greater than anywhere else. We found no knowledge in the sky, no wisdom in the sky, and no power in the sky. All the power that we see exercised, whether it’s used for good or evil, it’s come from the mind of man.
00:29:17:24 – 00:29:18:03
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Right?
00:29:18:05 – 00:29:26:21
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
We teach so we are thankful because even if God were in the sky, we sure need him on earth. Now come on.
00:29:26:23 – 00:29:28:17
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Now.
00:29:28:20 – 00:29:53:10
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
We’re thankful for his coming and to show the greatness of his knowledge and his wisdom and his power. He comes to someone who doesn’t have knowledge. I come to him. He comes to someone that does not have wisdom, right?
00:29:53:10 – 00:29:54:10
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Someone.
00:29:54:12 – 00:30:00:02
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
And he comes to someone who comes from a people who are powerless.
00:30:00:04 – 00:30:02:05
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
In this world.
00:30:02:07 – 00:30:24:00
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
And when he finishes revealing himself to that man, that man has knowledge and wisdom unequaled and power that we will soon come to see in his servant, exalted servant, the Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad.
00:30:24:01 – 00:30:25:01
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Yes, sir.
00:30:25:03 – 00:31:00:15
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
We are thankful to the two of them. Because. We always talk about God is merciful, but. And he has, you know, grace and he forgives us. And God always gives you another chance. And and, but how do you know that?
00:31:00:18 – 00:31:37:26
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
But when he gives you someone. That helps you to see him and helps you to see the one that he raised up at first when we didn’t see them, he gives you a third man, and that man makes you to see them and represents himself as their student. So he takes himself out of it. But look after the way he has made us to see them.
00:31:37:28 – 00:32:21:29
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
What in the deepest sense of the word, it helps us to see him and His growing greatness amongst us is student and servant. But our leader, teacher and guide, the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan. Thank you all so much. I am, I’m thankful to all of you that, do your best to hold on to this truth. It was the truth that was brought to us as a the word religion is the word that really means to bind back.
00:32:22:02 – 00:32:53:06
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
You know, when you bind in something back, it’s it’s a way from what it was at first. And you need something to work as a tool to bring you back. But you need to right religion. And. I’m thankful to the Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad because he showed us that God would reveal his truth, and have it packaged in the science of religion.
00:32:53:06 – 00:33:00:18
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Because that’s the way this planet and this world order has said we are to relate to God.
00:33:00:20 – 00:33:01:22
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
And.
00:33:01:24 – 00:33:32:05
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
So somebody told you to just come on, I’m with God. Come with me. Most people will not come with that man because we’ve been orientated to follow some kind of religion. So we asked, well, what is the religion know? Meaning? What is the belief system and the practice? And the Honorable Elijah Muhammad taught us well, mere belief accounts for nothing except it’s carried into practice.
00:33:32:07 – 00:33:33:07
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Right?
00:33:33:10 – 00:34:08:24
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
The doors of success for any of the righteous, no matter what the label, the doors success is not open with words and boasting. Neither is it open with what you intend to do is open with action, with action that’s in accord with the professed belief system. And it’s truth. So, we thankful to the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan for helping us to see clearer.
00:34:08:26 – 00:34:09:28
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Is there.
00:34:10:00 – 00:34:20:10
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
And if you haven’t learned anything else. Know this. That whatever. You know, there’s way more to know.
00:34:20:13 – 00:34:21:06
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
That’s right.
00:34:21:09 – 00:34:36:18
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
And it’s just an indication with what you know, how much you and I don’t know. And hopefully the mental posture that it puts you in is that I should be learning and stop telling people like, I know.
00:34:36:22 – 00:34:37:15
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Right, right.
00:34:37:15 – 00:35:14:01
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Right. Because Jesus said the the servant is not greater than his master, neither is the student greater than his teacher. So Deanna bore Elijah Muhammad said, he called me into his class and. He said he didn’t call me in because of education, because I had none. And neither did he call me in for works, for I had done none but for his own cause.
00:35:14:03 – 00:35:50:03
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Did he call me into his class, that if I believe him and take his reality to the people? And then he was careful to say and not pride myself against my teacher, but see. Some people get a teacup of wisdom, and they lost the wisdom of where they got the wisdom they had from. Come on. So then they turned on the person that gave him the little teacup.
00:35:50:05 – 00:35:53:26
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Not knowing is a big pot of wisdom. Just waiting.
00:35:53:29 – 00:35:54:22
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
For.
00:35:54:25 – 00:36:14:15
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
And the Honorable Elijah Muhammad would call it a well and said, you come get a drink from this. Well and you’ll never thirst. As Jesus told the woman who was at the well, he said, he who drinks from me would never thirst again.
00:36:14:17 – 00:36:16:07
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Look at this at.
00:36:16:09 – 00:36:55:02
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Well, there’s no amount of water you can drink that once you consume it. After a period of time, you will certainly need another drink. There’s no such thing as your body staying alive right? Right. And you not given it the fluids that it needs to survive, you see? So what was he talking about? If you drink from me, the understanding that you get from me, it will cover the full scope of what God has revealed to his prophets.
00:36:55:05 – 00:37:18:12
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
And if you hunger and thirst for the knowledge of the Scripture, you’ll find it in the message that I’m given you. You’ll never thirst again. That means any question that I come up with. The answer is in what I have accepted, all I gotta do is either study or put the question to my teacher.
00:37:18:14 – 00:37:20:15
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Come on.
00:37:20:18 – 00:37:27:19
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Because he’s teaching us in a way where you never going to need another person to come teach you.
00:37:27:19 – 00:37:32:02
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Again. That’s right, that’s right.
00:37:32:04 – 00:38:08:06
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
That’s what it means. But nobody’s coming after him. But God. Because if you and I are the right kind of students will be made into what he is. Right? So who could come and teach you and me right after that? The minister say you will look up into your own brain for the leadership that you need. Because we are the leaders that we have been looking for.
00:38:08:08 – 00:38:18:07
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Praise be to Allah. Oh, right. So,
00:38:18:10 – 00:38:40:22
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
We want to talk today from something that the Honorable Elijah Muhammad told us that, maybe. We don’t get it. Like we need to.
00:38:40:25 – 00:38:46:27
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Let me see if I can pull it up.
00:38:47:00 – 00:39:18:20
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
It didn’t move, so. Okay, let’s see. Look what he says to us. Of all the friendships of friends and relations, there is no friendship that is equal to the friendship of a Lord God. Right? You know, now, he didn’t say you couldn’t have other friends. Did you read that, sir? He just said, you’re not going to have one that equals Jesus.
00:39:18:23 – 00:40:00:18
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Jesus, to have our Lord God as our friend, we have a place of refuge. We have a shelter from the great stormy tempest of the wicked. He said, now to have the Supreme Being as our friend, and to have him befriend us, we could not hope for a better friend he is worth. All other friends come by the Holy.
00:40:00:20 – 00:40:41:21
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Most people have associate comrades, you know. Homies, people that they consider friends. But. But I didn’t realize, as you look at these words of the Honorable Elijah Muhammad and go to the scriptures, you can see how we’re partly why how we’re in the condition that we’re in. Right? Because we take enemies for friends and and we have turned on friends, calling them enemies.
00:40:41:24 – 00:41:05:26
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
This is the level of confusion. So he says, now that we have the Supreme Being as our friend to have him befriend us, we could not hope for a better friend. Now think of this. Everybody wants to live, a good standard of living.
00:41:05:28 – 00:41:07:03
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Right? Okay.
00:41:07:05 – 00:41:37:14
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Everybody wants to have what they need to be able to do that. Most people are scurrying about trafficking, trying to find ways to make a good life for themselves. I look at people who are in the news that have millions of dollars somewhere, or, and are unhappy, right? And, you know, those of us that don’t have too many dollars to work with.
00:41:37:17 – 00:41:49:29
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
And the one thing that happens when your dollars are limited, you got to think the minister said, about what you’re going to do, because most people that have a lot of money lived a life without thinking.
00:41:50:02 – 00:41:52:01
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
But look at their.
00:41:52:03 – 00:42:22:11
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
But when your dollars are few and you have responsibilities to yourself and to others, you have to think about what you’re doing next. You have to think about what to prioritize and what to give less priority to. The Negro mind has made us live in a way that the priority was the car, rather than a decent place to live.
00:42:22:11 – 00:42:25:02
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
First off.
00:42:25:04 – 00:42:35:04
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
So that if a person slept in their car all night, it was better than sleeping in the place where they dwell in.
00:42:35:07 – 00:43:19:27
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
When you have the Negro mind, you’re putting priority and importance on things that are really supposed to have lesser priority and certainly lesser importance. On Wabash Street in Chicago, they have a, outfit called Target Market News, and Target Market News tracks the spending habits of black people. And when you look at the $1.3 trillion that we spend every 12 months and God knows, next month we really get ready to throw some money away.
00:43:20:00 – 00:44:05:27
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
So they follow the trends. We spend more money on cognac. What can we do on housing? I’m just looking at the things we spend billions, almost 50 billion just on electronics. And if you look at the electronic world in the digital age that we’re in, we’re completely distracted. Right? And companionship and friendship, even Brother Nouri was showing that he says call to feed because you constantly scrolling down on phones and you can just look at people and everybody, everybody’s going and going, and this is all day.
00:44:06:00 – 00:44:33:20
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
A feed coming in. And in the feed, you keep seeing people who have untold sums of money that when you look at your own little situation, I know I can look at my man just a piece so that I can wipe all this out and not have, you know, nobody trying to call me in and ask me any questions.
00:44:33:22 – 00:44:57:24
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
But they unhappy. They’re still empty inside because whatever it is, we should be learning, money don’t satisfy every aspect of our being the way our friend created us all. Our God. We need something else.
00:44:57:27 – 00:45:39:26
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
So a real friend looks at you and says to you, okay, I’m going to befriend you because the condition in the land that you are in scripturally says you are friendless. In this land, as a people, you don’t look like you got a friend. And when we look further at our condition, you could see that whoever didn’t treat us right didn’t teach us right because we can’t even befriend each other.
00:45:39:28 – 00:45:43:19
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Don’t.
00:45:43:21 – 00:45:57:02
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
So he comes to us and look what he promises. Money, good homes, friendship and friendships. In all walks of life.
00:45:57:04 – 00:45:58:23
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
We have.
00:45:58:26 – 00:46:26:18
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
When I look at Biden and the presidents that preceded him, they all have to go to the G8 summit and the G20 summit, and leaders are gathered from all over the globe. And when you listen to the news correspondents, they’re talking about the tensions that are at the table, because it means everybody they’re sitting at the table, they not friends to each other.
00:46:26:22 – 00:46:50:04
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Are y’all following me now? They at the top. They got they got all kind of, nuclear warheads and everything, but they don’t get along with each other. And the Honorable Elijah Muhammad even told us that America would start losing her friends. What kind of real friend would run out on you if they was a real friend of you?
00:46:50:06 – 00:46:51:25
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Go ahead.
00:46:51:27 – 00:47:20:18
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
So they’re losing friends, so their conditions tied? These friendships are not unconditional. They’re conditions that some people are only your friend because you got some. Bobby Womack made it. So nobody wants you when you down and out. We. And I think it was Harold Melvin and him saying, where, where were all my friends? Because when my money ran out, I couldn’t pick up the tab no more.
00:47:20:19 – 00:47:42:29
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Are you following now? That’s our reality. When you could pick up the tab, no more folks start disappearing on you and didn’t see no need to come around you. So it’s conditional about what you have. I hope you all are following me now. But here’s a God, said a money. When I befriend you, money will. Money will be a part of it.
00:47:43:02 – 00:47:48:17
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Obviously he understands.
00:47:48:20 – 00:48:22:23
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
How you need to get money, but because it looks like people that are just getting money and they don’t have the mindset for it, the studies show in less than a decade they lose all of it. This is what people who win the lottery, they’re they’re they’re losing all of it. But the Honorable Elijah Muhammad is insisting to us that this one, who has come, this is our friend, but he finds us with nothing.
00:48:22:25 – 00:49:01:17
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
He finds us, as the Koran said, a time came over us when we were nothing to speak of. Right. All right. He finds us powerless and penniless. Yet he came to be our friend. He passed up. Rich folks are. And he came to be our friend. And we learn that his own holy robes that he was, covered in, he took those off, the scriptures, say, and took on the form of a servant, and made himself of no reputation.
00:49:01:20 – 00:49:08:07
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
He’s teaching, and they don’t know what to call him. It’s only when Elijah comes down the aisle to accept.
00:49:08:09 – 00:49:08:29
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Jesus.
00:49:09:01 – 00:49:20:27
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
And says, you’re the one. The Scripture had foretold, right? The Son of Man that was to come, and he had to pull him close to him and said, yeah, but who else knows that? But you.
00:49:21:02 – 00:49:23:21
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
You.
00:49:23:23 – 00:49:54:15
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
So, this whole friendship of God, sometimes people can have a real friend and they’re so busy chasing after someone else to be friendly toward them. Yes, that they’ve overlooked the real friend. Maybe you have been in that situation where you’ve been a real friend to somebody, but they’ve met some. They met another crowd.
00:49:54:17 – 00:49:55:07
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Right?
00:49:55:09 – 00:50:21:08
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
And this crowd was just so much more appealing that they didn’t have time for you no more. Pretty soon, you know, your your name is deleted from their little phone contacts because you ain’t got nothing, you know, and they going on somewhere else. But when people come back down the ladder, they said, you always gotta come back in contact with the folks that you stepped over to get up there.
00:50:21:10 – 00:50:40:25
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
They got all kinds of songs like that about, you know, you and you end up having to come back and humble yourself, especially if you’ve made a mess of things where you went. You know, you can have gifts and talents, but, you know, in this world, we’re finding out that if you don’t have character.
00:50:40:28 – 00:50:42:13
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Look at that.
00:50:42:15 – 00:51:09:23
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
You don’t have any kind of righteous bearing. Your gift can take you somewhere where your lack of character and righteousness won’t be able to keep you. And so people, they live, start unraveling and start coming apart, and they end up having to pay for things that they have done in their private life, even if on the public stage they’ve done a lot of good for someone.
00:51:09:26 – 00:51:40:14
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
But the Honorable Elijah Muhammad is going after a bigger menace than the little problems that we have. We keep giving ourself over to our people. You see, who never promised us money, right? Never promised us a good home. And certainly if they thought friends were coming to us, they cut us off from those friends that are.
00:51:40:16 – 00:52:15:25
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Because they don’t want nobody really befriending us. And whether that person is black or white, they will make trouble for that person. That’s why. Because the the evil, the great stormy tempest of the wicked is to keep us powerless, keep us penniless, keep us friendless, and keep us helpless. So the Honorable Elijah Muhammad, is talking about a friendship with God.
00:52:15:27 – 00:52:45:17
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
This is more than just being a member of a church. This is more than just being a registered member of a mosque. This is more than being. This is a direct connection, right to a god. In the absence of the way the Caucasians set up religion in the Western Hemisphere, he set it up. It started out where you had to go to a priest.
00:52:45:20 – 00:52:55:23
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
And ask the priest to pray to God to forgive you. And he would not offer that prayer until you paid.
00:52:55:23 – 00:52:57:14
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Him, right? Right.
00:52:57:16 – 00:53:33:12
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
This was called the sale of indulgences. And the Vatican grew rich from this practice until voices of the Reformation rose up against them and the voices of the Reformation, they were under the word. They were in protest of these practices and saying, you’re saying to us, God, O be my friend, and help me if I befriend you and pay you for your friendship.
00:53:33:15 – 00:53:46:16
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Think of that now. So, if you look at what the Honorable Elijah Muhammad told us in student enrollment, he didn’t say Christianity was 2000 years old.
00:53:46:19 – 00:53:47:17
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Right?
00:53:47:19 – 00:54:19:28
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
He said it was 551 years old. At the time that he recited that, and you go back 551 years, you go black back to Wycliffe, who was the first one to take the Latin Vulgate and translate it, into the English language. So this became the first English speaking Bible that they wanted to have in the hands of the people.
00:54:20:02 – 00:54:38:23
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
But in order to keep the people, in a way where they could serve them as opposed to really serving Jesus Christ, they didn’t want the people to have these scriptures in their hands.
00:54:38:25 – 00:55:03:08
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
So they fought against that. But when Cliff and then John Huss came in, that but the ones that were the one that really did it to him in, in, in 1517, but it started in 1504, was a man named Martin Luther. And they taught the priests, you’re not to have a woman in your life. Now, how did the woman come about in the Bible?
00:55:03:11 – 00:55:18:19
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Because that’s the book they work in with. It came from God, and God’s thing wasn’t the man needs a woman. The first thing God said, it ain’t good for him to be alone.
00:55:18:21 – 00:55:42:06
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
So the purpose of her in his life was to be a helpmeet, because God got an assignment for him. Greater things are in him. And there’s a saying, I think Henry Ford said it. My best friend is the one who brings the best out of me.
00:55:42:08 – 00:55:45:24
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Come on, him, come on.
00:55:45:27 – 00:55:49:08
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
He’s not the worst, but the best.
00:55:49:11 – 00:55:50:18
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Is.
00:55:50:20 – 00:56:21:11
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
So only one who can bring out of us what’s deeply treasured. Buried deep within us is the God who knows us right? Somebody can’t, be a refuge for you and a shelter for you, and a protector for you and a developer of you. Unless they know what’s there. Right? Right. It couldn’t have been us because we had a saying.
00:56:21:17 – 00:56:47:16
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
When Master Fahd Muhammad came here, we had a saying, if you want to hide something from a Negro, put it in a book because he won’t read. Yeah, but they didn’t read in Arabia. And look what the angel said to Muhammad, who didn’t read or write when he received that revelation. He didn’t tell him to pray before prayer even came.
00:56:47:16 – 00:56:53:12
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
He told him to read.
00:56:53:15 – 00:57:24:17
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
It was only after he was established because he saw a man. He said, the man is Jabril. But when he came to Khadijah, his wife, he didn’t say, I saw Jabril. I’m the messenger of Jabril. He said, I’m the messenger of Allah. But didn’t he? He realized something else deep in that the words might have come through Jabril.
00:57:24:18 – 00:57:32:19
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
But he knew the word had come from Allah. So he knew he was the messenger of that word.
00:57:32:22 – 00:57:46:09
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Look, what the Bible says in the beginning was the Word of God. And the word was with God. Then the word was God.
00:57:46:11 – 00:57:47:09
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
And.
00:57:47:12 – 00:57:54:22
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Then it became flesh. So the word got the power right.
00:57:54:24 – 00:58:11:29
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
To deconstruct and reconstruct a man in the order of God whose footsteps are ordered, like God’s footsteps. Think of that now.
00:58:12:02 – 00:58:32:04
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
A real friend, if he got that word, won’t hide that word from you. He’ll bring that word to you. And he don’t think like. Well, if I give him that word, he’ll be like me.
00:58:32:07 – 00:58:57:22
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
And in this commercial world, they can find something that heals some of the most damaging diseases. But they won’t bring it forth till they find a way to make some money out. Right. So that that could hold up five, six, seven more years before it even comes out to be available to people because they don’t want it until they get all the copyrights and everything.
00:58:57:28 – 00:59:12:23
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
So there’s a lot of friendship is important. And when you’re friendless in life, you’re always running around trying to fit in.
00:59:12:25 – 00:59:17:21
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
But you.
00:59:17:23 – 00:59:33:23
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
A person like that feels worthless. Valueless. Unless they around somebody that they think has worth and value. Then they think because I’m I’m around there. Some of that have rubbed off on me.
00:59:33:25 – 00:59:36:09
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
You look at my on.
00:59:36:12 – 00:59:56:24
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Here’s a God who comes to us and promises us money. And people try to tell us he’s a con man. I never forget Muhammad Ali jacking him up on the television back then in the 60s. Do you feel you’ve been caught in that? He said, well, he got me off cigarets. He got me off white women. He got me off drinking and everything.
00:59:56:27 – 01:00:31:25
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
If he’s a con man, I need to be conned. You know, I, I need a con man to come to me if I’m trapped. Going after all the wrong things that are not adding and edifying me and building me up, everything I’m going to do is turn me down. Is that a friend or an enemy? So, the ability to differentiate when it comes to friendship, you know, the Honorable Elijah Muhammad.
01:00:31:25 – 01:01:01:13
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Let me just speed this up. He goes on to say. While race. The white race has never shown true friendship to us, when they are planning to do evil against us, they offer us a false show of friendship. I see you can look friendly and not be a friend.
01:01:01:15 – 01:01:29:23
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
And some people may be friendly to you until it gets hot and you start. You, you, you’re on the wrong side of somebody else that they afraid of. So look at this. When they’re doing evil against us. False show of friendship. He says. Some of us, we’re being ignorant. We’re proud of ourselves under the false friendship of the devil.
01:01:29:25 – 01:01:44:06
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
And think that we are secure under the devil’s false power. Now, let’s stop right there. Why is his power false? Knowledge is power.
01:01:44:08 – 01:01:45:02
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Yes.
01:01:45:04 – 01:02:19:11
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
But is potential power, right? Knowledge, according to the Honorable Elijah Muhammad, is the beginning of building a civilization. Knowledge Groves. You. It grows me. But if the knowledge is false, the power is false. Well, why does it seem so real? Because he has blinded us to ourselves. And as long as we’re blind to our self, he can master us.
01:02:19:13 – 01:02:37:01
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Every black voice that has rose up, against them has always tried to make them change from being friendless. Except the Honorable Elijah Muhammad. He understood their nature.
01:02:37:04 – 01:02:37:27
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Really.
01:02:38:00 – 01:02:49:12
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
And he understood that they weren’t made in a way to be our friends. They were made to be an enemy.
01:02:49:15 – 01:03:08:19
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
If someone was their God and made them to be an enemy, you don’t have enough wisdom of how to make them your friend. That doesn’t mean you gotta hate somebody. That doesn’t mean that you have to resent somebody. That just means you got to turn back to yourself.
01:03:08:22 – 01:03:09:15
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Right?
01:03:09:17 – 01:03:35:15
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
With love. And all of that love, you start providing yourself with the things that you need to develop as a real human being. But if you keep going to the man, look what you’re saying. This is the man who hung you after slavery. This is the man who raped your woman while you were a slave. And even after slavery, a hundred years of lynching.
01:03:35:22 – 01:04:08:08
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
This is the man who made children they’re arguing about. Well, a woman shouldn’t be made to carry the seed of her rapist. And I wouldn’t want to see a woman have to carry the seed of her. Her rapist. This is the aunt. One of the arguments in the abortion argument right here. The whole Roe v Wade thing. But but black women were not only made to carry the seed of their rapists, they had to live on the plantation with the rapist and see him every day.
01:04:08:08 – 01:04:19:02
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
And sometimes he wasn’t through raping and he wasn’t through planting the seed in her. Right. Well, that’s right, that’s not a friend.
01:04:19:04 – 01:04:47:29
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
And to be sitting up under a false illusion that you got friendship with them. The messenger said, you are ignorant and out of ignorance. That’s the worst devil of the four devils that every Muslim must bring and present and kill. The first devil is ignorance. For as long as we’re ignorant, anybody can tell us anything good.
01:04:47:29 – 01:04:49:17
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Teach.
01:04:49:19 – 01:05:16:15
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
When you come to this house. We have to make sure that you are not ignorant about certain things, right? Sometimes we laugh, sometimes there’s a little levity there. But that’s because these truths are hard when you’ve been baked into false teaching. You’re offended when somebody brings the truth.
01:05:16:17 – 01:05:17:07
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Come on.
01:05:17:10 – 01:05:47:21
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
And it is said that somebody that uses you tells you what you want to hear, but a real friend will tell you the truth, right? So the truth that comes from God makes many of us reject him and makes many of us reject his messenger because he come to tell the truth. Yeah. And the truth will free us up.
01:05:47:23 – 01:06:12:17
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
You will never see anywhere from the years of the word and work of the Honorable Elijah Muhammad, where he told us to hate white people. I have seen interviews with Malcolm X. Well, you all hate white people and stuff. He said, no, we don’t hate anybody where you said the white man is the devil. Yes, the Honorable Elijah Muhammad teaches us that.
01:06:12:17 – 01:06:34:24
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
But he didn’t say we are to hate you, right? He just identifying you mean, you know, I can say I hate snakes. But really, when I come into the knowledge of it, I know how to approach what I say. Man, if I let that head get to me, he could bite me and put that poison in me. And I’m finished.
01:06:34:26 – 01:06:38:17
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Unless I can find something to counteract the poison that’s there.
01:06:38:20 – 01:06:40:11
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
That’s right.
01:06:40:13 – 01:07:04:14
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
See, if you go snake hunting and and you’re out there in the in the brush trying to get a snake, and one of those snakes bites you. The present issue is no longer going after the snake. Yeah. Once you’ve bitten the press. And the issue is to get somewhere to find some medicine to counteract the poison that’s been planted in your system.
01:07:04:16 – 01:07:34:20
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
So when the Honorable Elijah Muhammad begin to call us, he’s saying you’ve been bitten by a snake on. I thought, we ain’t go fight white people. Muhammad’s here teaching us, and we doing all this stuff. And why are we just doing this, that and the other? You don’t need to be hunting a snake. Not after you bitten. You need to sit right here and take this medicine and counteract the poison that has been put in us.
01:07:34:23 – 01:08:00:28
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Look, we got a false show of friendship, and we we got to try to secure ourself. There is the noise of the thunder of war clashing over the whole world of mankind. And it has touched the home of the original man as well. You know, he might as well wrote this, this article yesterday.
01:08:01:00 – 01:08:01:06
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
To.
01:08:01:10 – 01:08:38:24
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Teach. But see, the military campaigns are building up. I was, cheapened to watch over and over again. Some might remember the movie Tora! Tora! But it’s a, it’s a, it’s a true assessment of all the steps that was going on before they bombed Pearl Harbor. And, you know, you can’t do people wrong and then expect no, kind of action or retaliation from them.
01:08:38:27 – 01:09:09:25
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
But you had officers arguing over whether or not this threat was real. And, and, and, or either some part of the military was overreacting. Nevertheless, they ended up getting bombed, at Pearl Harbor. But the storm clouds were already working on another part of the ocean, which was the Atlantic Ocean. Would Adolf Hitler take him one country after the other?
01:09:09:25 – 01:09:45:26
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
I’m just watching between Norway and Czechoslovakia. And everything was falling. Belgium was falling. They went to France and took France and they were trying to to conquer the entire, European landscape. Well, that’s building up right now. Yes. When Putin saw the resolve of the people in the Ukraine, I don’t know if you’ve been paying attention to the war, but he was bombing inside the Ukraine, and it looked like it would just be a matter of weeks before Putin took over.
01:09:45:28 – 01:10:19:24
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
But the reverse has taken place, and the people of Ukraine have taken over 93 towns inside of Russia, 93 so Putin sees himself losing. So what does he do? He go to get some mercenaries. He starts out with 3000 troops from, North Korea. Now what? You have to understand what that means. North Korea, the North Koreans are like the Spartans.
01:10:19:26 – 01:10:33:04
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Anybody ever see the 300? The 300 Spartans? See, this is a real military, event that took place. But, in North Korea, every man is a warrior.
01:10:33:04 – 01:10:36:06
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
First, right?
01:10:36:08 – 01:11:00:29
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Every man is a warrior first. There is no milk man who got drafted into the army and had to undergo everybody. He started out a warrior first. You better watch him because he do more than deliver milk, Because he starts out a warrior. He starts out a soldier first. So the 3000 that are there now, don’t look at that as a small number.
01:11:01:05 – 01:11:27:28
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
3000 men, right in the in the movie, the 300, which was a real military account fighting the Persian Empire. Every last one of the Spartans was a warrior. First from a child. Right, right, right. So this is the way the North Koreans are. And already they reported this morning, there seems to be some skirmishes and military engagement. The what?
01:11:27:28 – 01:12:00:29
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
The Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan warned us about. Darkness was spreading far and wide and is covering the planet. You’re about to see one of the greatest military explosions that this planet has ever suffered in this tent, in this 6000 year period. The people that are fighting are not friends to each other, and we’re right in the middle being called.
01:12:01:02 – 01:12:09:06
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
To join an army and the armed forces with somebody that’s not your friend. They want you to give.
01:12:09:06 – 01:12:09:14
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Your.
01:12:09:14 – 01:12:37:11
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Life for friendship that don’t exist. These brothers. Then someone teaches you about your God who has not asked you to, pick up a gun. In fact, he wants you to get rid of the gun, right? That’s right. He has not called on you and me to go through, living in foxholes with bombs coming on us.
01:12:37:18 – 01:13:01:22
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
All he asked us to do was take a shower to put on a nice suit. If you only got one shirt, keep it clean. Right. Get a haircut. Let me teach you some prayers. Giving some charity and help build something for your own black self. Love your woman. Love your children. Love each other. Build a nation for yourself right here.
01:13:01:22 – 01:13:06:22
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
And we giving him hell for.
01:13:06:24 – 01:13:25:17
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
What the hell giver is about to call us. Now that they have won this election, they’re going to bring the draft back on this war. See has been quiet on the home front because I grew up under the draft, and we used to sit around getting high and talking about how we was going to get out of it.
01:13:25:17 – 01:13:46:03
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
When we went down to the thing and to give all kinds of answers and stuff, because they would ask us questions and everything, and we make you, you know, make you don’t want us, and so one of the things people would do was I’m, I’m, I’m, I’m a black Muslim because we saw what Ali was doing. See, in 65.
01:13:46:03 – 01:14:07:03
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
So by 1969 people was getting that down pack make them don’t want, you know, get him out of here. He’s he’s no good to us because people was trying to stay here I don’t know I wasn’t trying to live in Canada. And people was running to Canada. A lot of the white boy, they were making it into Canada.
01:14:07:05 – 01:14:37:13
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
See, it was a dress. And that dress made the public rise up. So what they did after the Vietnam War were they lost 58,000 soldiers, American soldiers. They took the draft away. And it’s been a volunteer army ever since. There’s been quiet, but they need some troops now to Medlin that they getting ready to do in the mess that they get ready to exacerbate.
01:14:37:16 – 01:14:58:04
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
They need some troops. Now, my point to you is are these people friends to each other? They got a United Nations where they supposed to be able to sit down and work. Even the Mafia got a commission. Come on and say we won’t have nobody killed to the commission approves that these people are around doing what the hell they want to do.
01:14:58:04 – 01:15:43:08
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Now, this whole thing, as the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan said, is unraveling. I’m only talking about this today because he said it’s the unraveling of two great nations. One is the USA, and we’re looking at the outcome of an election that shows that the leadership was completely out of touch. With the citizenship, this. Robert f the Kennedy Bobby Kennedy son, the threat that he’s going to be the health czar.
01:15:43:11 – 01:16:08:00
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
They asked him in an interview, what are your instructions from Mr. Trump? He said, Mr. Trump wants me to take the Food Drug Administration, the pharmaceutical companies, the FTC and that and reorganize them. He wants to take away any penalty if you refuse to take a vaccine.
01:16:08:02 – 01:16:09:25
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
They wanted to jail people.
01:16:09:27 – 01:16:10:25
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Right?
01:16:10:28 – 01:16:43:03
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
They were trying to turn the, the, the, the, anger of people up with those who wouldn’t go and take the vaccine. He also said Mr. Trump wants, the public to know everybody that’s suffering from one of these vaccines because Sister Ava warned us they have went to get the law passed, that the pharmaceutical companies could never be sued if scores of people died from what they were putting inside of them.
01:16:43:06 – 01:17:10:16
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
All these things are not going to come through Congress. They’re doing this by executive order. So we can expect, after January 20th of the first 100 days, it’s like that final call, newspapers coming alive for everything that the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan was saying, and he’s saying and knowing that you listening to somebody that’s not your friend. But I’m telling you, Farrakhan is your friend.
01:17:10:19 – 01:17:36:11
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
He’s not telling you what you want to hear. He’s telling you what you need to hear. You do not need to be sticking them needles inside of you and letting them do that to your babies.
01:17:36:14 – 01:18:06:14
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
They over there trying to vote. We got to keep him out. They got 1600 votes. I think it was Virginia thrown out. You know why? Because the young people didn’t know how to sign their name. Because they took away cursive writing in school. There’s no culture that says.
01:18:06:16 – 01:18:37:11
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
You absolutely should not write or know how to write your name out. That’s a decision. They’re dumbing down the civilization. If every child should know how to do cursive writing, are. You you have to. You have to, You have to know how to write a note to somebody when you don’t have the technology to text and everything.
01:18:37:11 – 01:19:00:24
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
We’re crippling ourselves. That’s not a friend that’s doing that for you. Look what the Honorable Elijah Muhammad says as we go down. He says, believe and obey me. And if you love Allah, God, he will love you.
01:19:00:26 – 01:19:34:04
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
He will be your friend and protect you from the evil planning of this evil world. Now, if you think they got good plans for you, listen to some of the voices like Al Sharpton and others. Oh, what they fear is coming right? And what what, Trump will do in the first 100 days to executive order. You know, the first thing people told her, well, God is still on the throne.
01:19:34:04 – 01:20:04:06
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Well, if he’s on the throne, what does he intend to do about what we said they going to do out of the white House? See, the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan said, if you’re afraid to come together, if you’re afraid to build something of your own because you scared of what they’re going to say about you, then you can’t tell me that you know Jesus Christ.
01:20:04:08 – 01:20:12:19
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
And I answer that. You can’t tell me that you love Prophet Muhammad. No.
01:20:12:21 – 01:20:43:15
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Because perfect love casts out fear. Yes, sir. And the minister said, our problem is we don’t love God enough. We don’t love his messenger enough. We don’t love Christ enough, and we don’t love each other enough to pull off what we need. Because if we did, we would have no fear of building for ourselves.
01:20:43:17 – 01:21:02:24
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
With that kind of love, I give it a week. We could stop all the killing in our neighborhood because that kind of love. Make a real man get up and say, damn it, you’re going to put these guns down, and we’re going to put you down, love, and make you do that.
01:21:02:26 – 01:21:28:10
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
What kind of real man would let his woman live in something like we living with it’s show? You real men haven’t come up yet. The only chance we got to see a real man is from Allah, who came to us in the person of Master Fard Muhammad.
01:21:28:13 – 01:21:41:11
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
The Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan. Preaching from the articles of the Honorable Elijah Muhammad as his minister in Boston.
01:21:41:13 – 01:21:44:04
Unknown
Out of love.
01:21:44:06 – 01:22:19:27
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Got fed up. With the subculture that we have descended into. Oh, the underworld. And so he gathered the brothers together at mass number 11, and they went out to take the streets back, spank prostitutes, get off this corner. You are black Queen. You’re the mother of civilization. A corner is no place for you. Get off the doggone street!
01:22:20:00 – 01:22:48:09
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Straighten out pimps. Straighten out! Stick up men and burglars and everybody. And was cleaning up. And somebody called Chicago on him. And the Honorable Elijah Muhammad was on the phone to him and said. Brother, it’s not time yet. I’m to wait until you have at least 70% of the people with you.
01:22:48:12 – 01:23:02:15
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
He got more than 70% of us with him. Proved that at the Million Man March.
01:23:02:17 – 01:23:36:16
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
They’re using it. As an occasion. To put on a false show of friendship and say we. We two feel for what’s happening to black people in their communities. Let us bring in the National Guard, claim. Out of friendship. We don’t want to see you hurt no more.
01:23:36:18 – 01:23:58:09
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
When we could stop at ourselves if love was there. But we bring in somebody who was made not to have any love for us. And they got a gun. And guess what? A National Guard don’t have to read Miranda rights. All right.
01:23:58:12 – 01:23:59:26
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Search and destroy.
01:24:00:02 – 01:24:00:24
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Right.
01:24:00:26 – 01:24:38:24
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Is the mission. Yeah. So there’s a plan going on. And what the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan did after his more than a vision experience, he realized that they weren’t going to come just after a muslim leader and nation in Libya. But he realized they were coming after a muslim leader and nation right here in the United States and black people in general, using black youth as the occasion for them to be able to come in and kill us off wholesale.
01:24:38:27 – 01:24:54:08
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Yeah, that don’t sound good. And you know what? You leave here in disgust that I even said that. You know why? Because a real friend tells you what you need to hear. That’s right.
01:24:54:08 – 01:24:54:27
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Yeah.
01:24:55:00 – 01:25:26:14
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Somebody else is going to tell you what you want to hear. They’re just trouble because they don’t have jobs. We need to get them some jobs and everything. And then all that’s going to chill out. Let me tell you something. When a young person can get a gun, a real gun in less than 60 minutes, he knows where to go to get him right.
01:25:26:16 – 01:25:49:06
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
And we’re using these guns only on each other. So as crazy as we say people are, we see how selectively crazy they are. They know where to act crazy, and they know where to act like they got some sense.
01:25:49:08 – 01:26:18:03
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
So the one that we have taken, who has gave us a false show of friendship, we’re taking their plan rather than a plan of our own. And so the Honorable Louis Farrakhan got up in a fever pitch to get around the country to reveal their plan and offer the plan that we had, you know, now, look at this.
01:26:18:06 – 01:26:58:27
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
As we go to the honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan is somebody of words. Look, he said there’s a song. What a friend we have in Jesus. I almost can hear it in my ear. They’re singing this song, he says. So to understand friendship, one must understand how Jesus laid down the true meaning of friendship in the words that he taught, and in the life that he lived and the things that he did that proved that he was a representative of God and was and is a true friend, and represents true friendship of a of God.
01:26:58:29 – 01:27:14:20
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
So Jesus, in this way he set the standard by which we measure friendship. I guarantee you, you go through the standard that Jesus used to measure friendship.
01:27:14:23 – 01:27:23:02
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
And it’s not our standard. Some of us are only friends with people who agree with us.
01:27:23:04 – 01:27:56:01
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Some of us are only friends with somebody that we know that can do something for us. But we’re not. We’re not friends with people who don’t agree with us. See, the standards that we have have led us to many of the wrong choices that we have gone through. Look, so to minister is sin. There’s a standard that Jesus gives now, everybody, this is a land where everybody got the name of Jesus on their lips.
01:27:56:03 – 01:28:38:22
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
But nobody is living like him. That’s why the land doesn’t reflect his mind and it doesn’t reflect his character. Look at is what the minister says in the Bible. Just so we can see real quick, Look what Jesus says. This is my commandment, that ye love one another as I have loved you. Greater love hath no man than this, that a man laid down his life for his friends.
01:28:38:25 – 01:29:18:08
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Ye are my friends. If if you, my friend, if you do, whatsoever I command you. Let’s stop right there. Because not doing what? What he has commanded, I mean, that disengages us and disqualifies us. To be called a muslim that follows him or Christian, that really follows him. He said, henceforth I call you not servants for the servant, nor of not what his Lord do is none.
01:29:18:08 – 01:29:51:27
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
The Koran says, comes to Allah except as a servant. That’s how you start out. So Jesus said, so you came to me and you were servant. But the servant know of not what his Lord do with a servant. You ever seen the butler answer the door? That’s a servant. And the master of the house has a guest. He lets the guest in, directs the guest to the study.
01:29:51:29 – 01:30:25:26
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
The door the study closes and the two men are in their meeting. But as a servant, you don’t know what the content of that meeting is. Are you following in the well? So as long as you, a servant, are, you know, is that he came by. You saw him in. You saw him out? Yes, sir. But one day, after one leaves, after consultation with the master, the how he calls you into the study to sit down and start sharing with you.
01:30:25:29 – 01:30:53:08
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
The content of these meetings and the discourse that has been taking place in the study. You’re no longer a servant. Now. You’ve being brought into another realm called friendship. So Jesus is saying, as I consult with God and you come as a servant, you know, if not what I’m doing, you don’t know why I’m doing what I’m doing, but now I’m bringing you into my confidence.
01:30:53:08 – 01:31:10:29
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Are you following, so you not only know what I’m doing, you know why I’m doing it. And once I bring you to that level of knowledge, you no longer a servant. You a friend.
01:31:11:02 – 01:31:33:15
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
And you’re my friend if you do my commandments. Now, once you got an understanding like that, the ministers say you don’t have to. Nobody have to beat you down to follow an instruction. You encourage to follow it because you got an understanding. You got a deeper understanding. What’s going on here? Now, what?
01:31:33:17 – 01:31:59:09
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
He said, for all things that I have heard of my father, I have made known unto you. Did he ever do that? Of course he did save his day. The title was save his day was not. What does Farrakhan have to say about the Middle East? The title was save his death. What does the great Mahdi and the Great Messiah have to say about it?
01:31:59:12 – 01:32:20:16
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
And then he proceeded to tell us something of what had been shared with him. He said. He showed me the mind of Netanyahu right? Yeah.
01:32:20:18 – 01:32:45:10
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
And then he proceeded to tell us what was in his mind to do over there. After he finished save his day, he was instructed to be quiet. So he hadn’t said anything else in the public square. That way you can ponder over the last thing you heard him say.
01:32:45:13 – 01:32:46:09
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
That’s right.
01:32:46:11 – 01:33:11:12
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Does it bear witness because no one else knew these events? It was in the mind of Netanyahu, but it was no sacred to Farrakhan because it was no secret to God. And God says, I’m your friend and I have befriended you, and I’m telling you what they got planned for you.
01:33:11:15 – 01:33:52:21
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
And he’s doing it. He ended up the first thing the newspaper said was they knew one whole year he had that October the 7th was going to happen, right? The next thing came out, Netanyahu got on a plane and flew to United States and went to the United Nations and talked about they were fighting barbarians. When the BBC news reports show 70% of all the people killed since October 7th are women and children, 70%.
01:33:52:24 – 01:34:17:16
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Barbarians. And so the minister said Netanyahu wants the waterway next to the Gaza. So he wants the whole Gaza Strip. 3 million Palestinians living over there. He’s going to he’s going to take them out and see this whole ethnic cleansing thing. All this was practice on the island of Pea Land. The father of this world brought this whole practice.
01:34:17:16 – 01:34:22:17
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Now for the benefit.
01:34:22:19 – 01:34:48:00
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
And he said he intends to annex other countries and make Israel a bigger country. He wants his legacy to read that he conquered all these territory. So what does Netanyahu do? He shows a picture of how it looks now at the United Nations. Then he holds up another picture. And the other picture, the Gaza is not in there.
01:34:48:02 – 01:35:18:04
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Lebanon is not in there. These countries disappear under what he calls the blessing that Israel was due. And so you got to remember, the Honorable Elijah Muhammad said, the entire white race is under the name Israel. Have you noticed that white people who are anti-Semitic, they never go after them in the public, the way they went after Kanye West, the way they went after other black people, but they never go after the other whites.
01:35:18:04 – 01:35:47:19
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
What about this man that killed them? He killed 11 of them in the Tree of Life synagogue. What about Richard Spears? Spencer, who organized the Charlottesville massacre. And they’re marching saying Jews will not replace us, and they’re carrying torches like they were back in Nuremberg when the Nazis were rising, because Nuremberg was their spiritual capital. They never went after Richard Spencer like that.
01:35:47:21 – 01:36:14:28
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Why did they have a cozy relationship with whites who are still proven anti-Semitic? Tucker Carlson, who’s been with Trump the whole time, ends up having to leave Fox News because of a company that sued about, corrupting the voting totals. And they didn’t want their company to suffer future business in that. So he had to fall on the sword and they got rid of him.
01:36:15:02 – 01:36:37:20
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
But before that night after night, he was beaten up on the Jews. They never went after him like they wrote a nice little letter to the head of Fox News to try to get him to tone down and everything. Why did they had his cozy relationship? Because all of them are under the name Israel. And the last prophet that come to them 2000 years ago was Jesus.
01:36:37:23 – 01:37:13:20
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Jesus the. So look what he says. What the father. What I’ve heard from him I’ve made known to you. I don’t have no secret from you. Especially if it’s something you need to know. This ain’t gossip I’m sharing with you what God showed me. Because he wants you to know that what they got planned over there is going to end up here.
01:37:13:23 – 01:37:30:17
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
You ask yourself, how can America. That’s only 5% of the population on Earth. 95% of the people on Earth live outside of America. But but here we consume more than 60% of all the resources on the planet.
01:37:30:19 – 01:38:05:20
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
And the armament here is greater than anywhere else on the planet. She has two big oceans protecting her. Whoever wants to come at her, they got to cross these oceans. What is that? 68,634,000mi² in the Pacific? 41, million 321,000mi² for the Atlantic Ocean. That’s a lot of territory. You got to cover for it. They got missiles that can make it.
01:38:05:22 – 01:38:39:28
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Yeah. So a real friend is telling us the truth. Look what he goes on to say. Ye have not chosen me, but I’ve chosen you and ordained you that you should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should be of the father in my name. He may give it to you. These things I command you. So look what he says now.
01:38:40:00 – 01:38:52:18
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
The fruit should remain. And whatsoever ye shall ask of the father, you shouldn’t be without nothing.
01:38:52:20 – 01:39:26:14
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
My only question to you. Have you asked your friend? To help you? Well, I I I don’t I don’t hardly have any money. He promised money. Have you asked your friend to help you see the messenger say sometimes. What? What starts happening to us when we get to the point we don’t even pray for the thing. It’s hard to pray to someone that you really don’t believe can do it for it’s not impossible, but it’s hard to pray.
01:39:26:16 – 01:39:48:16
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
But if you really believe he can fix whatever needs fixing, there’s, I heard Brother Joseph talking about everybody going through something. There’s a God that can fix it. So I pray, but just don’t look for it to come out of the sky. Whatever he does for you, he going to do through you. So you gotta stay with God.
01:39:48:16 – 01:39:53:00
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
You can’t run off somewhere.
01:39:53:02 – 01:40:03:16
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
And expect the fruit of this. Whatever you ask for in the name of the man that’s teaching you right now, he will grant it to you.
01:40:03:19 – 01:40:21:28
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
As long as you not ask him for something that’s in harmony with the evil and the plans of evil in this world, you should not go without. And if God decides you shouldn’t get something, he’s the best knower. Sometimes he knows what you get will do you more harm than good.
01:40:22:00 – 01:40:27:20
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Come on.
01:40:27:23 – 01:41:03:21
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
This is important here. If the world. Hates you, you should know that it hated me first. Before it hated you. If you were of the world, the world would love his own. But because you are not of the world. But I have chosen you out of the world. Therefore the world hateth you. So I should not expect the world to love me.
01:41:03:24 – 01:41:14:24
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Why? Because I’ve gone with a choice of what I believe to be my real friend, Louis Farrakhan.
01:41:14:27 – 01:41:15:17
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Yes.
01:41:15:19 – 01:41:52:04
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
But the world is telling me we don’t want Farrakhan or anyone associated with him. Then I got to say, then you really weren’t my friend right to G because murderers and thieves and robbers you have associated yourself with. And I’ve never broken off a friendship with you and you with all the wrong kind of people. But I’ve chosen to work with the most righteous man on this planet.
01:41:52:04 – 01:42:28:21
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
You can’t even produce a citizen like Farrakhan. You know, you’re hard pressed. So, I’m gonna close out with something the minister said. I’ll talk, some more on this Wednesday night. Friendships start with the willingness to sacrifice yourself to do something of value for someone whom you love. That’s how real friendships. So that’s the standard. So stop calling everybody your friend.
01:42:28:23 – 01:42:57:20
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
It’s alright to have good associates. I know them, my neighbors and. But look at this. This is. He said, to study, to prepare oneself, to deliver another is a supreme act of sacrifice and friendship. So if you want to see a supreme act of friendship, that’s somebody who don’t live on hearsay and conjecture, but they willing to study.
01:42:57:22 – 01:43:12:23
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Study with a purpose of preparing yourself to be able to deliver somebody out of the state that they’re in. The Honorable Elijah Muhammad taught us that. Master Fard Muhammad, Study 42 years of his life.
01:43:12:25 – 01:43:14:00
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Right.
01:43:14:03 – 01:43:35:13
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Now. You know, it’s a lot of us. We didn’t go to school because we don’t want to, devote four years. And most times employers, they’re not hiring you because you got this degree and everything. Sure. They want you to have the skill set, but you know, you know what, they see more when you say, I went to this school, that school.
01:43:35:13 – 01:43:46:07
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
And then they look at a person who gave, they were that they were going to do something and they stuck with it. Whether it took them four years of six years, that means more to them than your degree.
01:43:46:10 – 01:43:47:26
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
That’s right.
01:43:47:28 – 01:44:11:12
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
So that means if I hire you and give you an assignment, you seem like from my calculus, like the kind of person I can trust to see it through and not have to do it, you know, because you come out of these these good institutions of learning, you seem like a person who knows how to make a commitment and see it through.
01:44:11:16 – 01:44:43:02
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Look at this here. So he 42 years of his life to prepare himself to come and deliver a people that didn’t know him, didn’t want to know him from and didn’t really care. So when he when he came here, you know, there was no big reception for him. Somebody hit him in the mouth. Yeah. And he did he out of love.
01:44:43:05 – 01:44:46:29
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
He couldn’t. They couldn’t get it out of him. Who did it. That’s right. Right.
01:44:47:01 – 01:44:52:09
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Right.
01:44:52:11 – 01:45:02:20
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Yeah, but somebody study we’re not even talking about. They came here and study. This was before we knew anything about him, right?
01:45:02:23 – 01:45:03:29
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Right.
01:45:04:01 – 01:45:07:04
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
You know what makes us. We don’t know this kind of love.
01:45:07:07 – 01:45:09:11
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
That’s right.
01:45:09:13 – 01:45:44:25
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
This level of friendship is is unknown to us. We don’t know because we’ve been amongst thieves and robbers. And we’re the product of broken promises. People who could have fulfilled a promise but just broke it. The Indians have. The Native American has 3000 broken treaties. 3000 treaties were made with them. Look where they are now. All of them broken.
01:45:44:28 – 01:46:22:06
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
So we don’t have real friendship here. And it pains me to see black folks on the news in the morning running around because they lost this election from coast to coast. There was no question about who the American public, voted for. And 12 million Democrats just sat down and didn’t even go out and vote. So they’ve they’ve given up on continuously being brought to a level of expectation, only to have the promise broken.
01:46:22:08 – 01:46:22:28
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Come on.
01:46:23:01 – 01:46:51:18
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
And this is one of the reasons we went to Washington, D.C., because the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan said, we’re the product of broken promises. It break when somebody breaks a real promise. You were counting on that, right? Right. And that breaks up the mind. So we’re walking around with our minds broken, our hearts broken, our spirits broken, our families are broken up.
01:46:51:18 – 01:47:22:15
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Our communities are broken, and we don’t have nowhere to turn to find a friend that can protect us, give us refuge, and give us what we need to grow into, what we need to do, what real friend wants. You have to come to them for everything that you need for the rest of your life. Right now, we, a real friend, would want you to develop so that you could get up on your own and do like that.
01:47:22:17 – 01:47:42:29
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
I can’t be the equal of a white man if I don’t own nothing, right? I can’t be the equal of him. If I can’t build my own school and teach my own children, I can’t be the equal of him. If I can’t set up my own commerce and everything. And by him working with self-hatred amongst us. Look at what the minister said.
01:47:43:02 – 01:48:20:17
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
He says here after he suffered persecution, he said, we have to be careful how we use the term. My friend. If we identify the coming of the moth, the as the supreme act of friendship and his raising of the Honorable Elijah Muhammad and giving him the example of a friend. And Elijah Muhammad sets that example for 44 years among us, and we would do well to limit.
01:48:20:19 – 01:48:29:20
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
We would end up doing well to limit the use of such word, because the Honorable Elijah Muhammad was a friend to us.
01:48:29:25 – 01:48:33:09
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
That’s right, that’s right. Yes.
01:48:33:12 – 01:49:03:25
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
And too often we don’t see it to after the people are gone. Black people are only people looking for dead generals to lead them. But this general is not dead. Come on. We’re about to be caught. Let me, finished and send the Muslims to the, minister said, you can’t even say that among Muslims that we are friends because there are too many hypocrites among the believing community.
01:49:03:27 – 01:49:32:10
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
So take a law. A law is is only a law. And his messenger. Well, we know those two. They have given us a supreme act of friendship. We know the Koran is right. Only a law and his messenger are your friends and those who believe. But the question is, who are they that believe?
01:49:32:12 – 01:49:33:29
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Right?
01:49:34:02 – 01:50:01:08
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
See? So ultimately, we have to be tried. Yeah. You can’t just go with my confession of faith and I’m finished now. But, he he goes on to say, not only is are we dealing with the unraveling of two great nations, but he said, the enemy does not want the Nation of Islam to be successful. He wrote that this year, right?
01:50:01:10 – 01:50:09:16
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
He does not want black America to be successful.
01:50:09:18 – 01:50:32:14
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
If Farrakhan is a true friend, then he’s not lying to us. That’s right. And no matter how it looks, the Honorable Elijah Muhammad promised us he will always give us a first show of friendship. But they don’t want us to succeed.
01:50:32:16 – 01:50:37:10
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
So the real question is, how much of a friend are we going to be to ourselves?
01:50:37:12 – 01:50:38:09
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
That’s the question.
01:50:38:11 – 01:50:48:29
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
And how bad do we want to succeed at what we are doing? Thank you for listening. I solemnly.
01:50:49:02 – 01:51:10:05
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
You we, we thankful to Almighty God for the opportunity to help the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan in this very, very special way. And so I, I can only ask the question, is there anyone out? I’ve never been out with us for the first time or anyone. Oh, thank you sir, thank you sir, thank you sir. Thank you all.
01:51:10:07 – 01:51:44:29
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Praise be to Allah. Look, we have we have so many things, you know, we we we just have to contain ourself. You know, if I worked, on the terminal ward of the hospital, you know, it’d be very quiet around here because we not expecting nobody to live. It’s a it’s a it’s a wing of the hospital where you have the lowest expectation because you’ve already written the people off.
01:51:45:01 – 01:52:07:09
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
So most you doing is taking a glass of water, seeing what you can do to help somebody as comfortable as possible as they move on toward death’s door. But if you work in emergency room, you know the emergency room is alive with action, and you ready to deal with every case, with the mindset we got to save every life that come through here.
01:52:07:11 – 01:52:27:09
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
And guess what? In the emergency room, you don’t have time to contemplate and talk things. So you got to be quick thinking and fast moving. You see an emergency room. So it’s another part of the hospital. This is the emergency room for black America. You understand? We don’t have we don’t have a lot of time. We’re not writing you off.
01:52:27:11 – 01:52:50:09
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
We come here to set a higher expectation for all of us because we can do better. And a real friend told us that we can live better than we living right now. Yes, sir. And stop trying to get money and then live better. Live better so you can get money and you’ll do better with money as you get better.
01:52:50:11 – 01:53:18:02
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
God ain’t trying to get you to have more. He wants you to become more. And when you become more, you won’t settle for less. All praise is due to Allah. So we’re sharing with you some of what we blessed to see into an extract from the life giving teachings of the Honorable Elijah Muhammad. And we just want to know from the invitation that the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan has offered all of us, how many of you would be willing to step forward to learn more about that truth?
01:53:18:09 – 01:53:45:14
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
There’s no compulsion in religion, so this is your opportunity to come and learn more. You can find out. Does it work for you or not? We believe it does. We believe that nothing works for us. The best psychology today is truth because that’s what the man was created out of. If you put truth back in the mind of what it came out of, there ain’t no we don’t have to worry about mental health growing, and our community is growing because we away from the truth.
01:53:45:16 – 01:54:04:08
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
But the truth heals us and brings us back on our square. We believe that, and we have seen it work for men and women, and the greater is their belief, the greater is the transformation taking place in their life. So if you feel that happening, you do. This is this is the time to answer. Minister Louis Farrakhan’s call.
01:54:04:11 – 01:54:26:08
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
I’m just his helper here in Philadelphia. But this is your opportunity. All praise is due to Allah. Thank you, thank you, thank you, black man. Thank you sir. What’s your name? Brother Vincent. Brother Vincent. Vincent. Brother Vincent. Let’s give him a round of applause. Have a seat. Right here, brother Vincent for me. Right quick. And what’s your name, sir?
01:54:26:11 – 01:54:53:14
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Support, brother. Support? Yes, sir. He’s already wearing a muslim name. Good. One of the attributes of the living God. Can you have a seat with us? Right there about the brother? Just going to talk to you a minute. Now, look, the man accepted. And, you know, every Monday night I’m in a meeting right. And I can tell you just from these Monday night meetings and what we get from the son of the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan, our Supreme captain.
01:54:53:17 – 01:55:20:00
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
We got men ready. They’re calling us from all over the city. They want us there. You know, they really want us in the schools to help them. But they are afraid of the Jews. And see, when we live in fear, like their love for our children should be greater than their fear. But the love ain’t strong enough. So they they keep the eye away from working because we don’t take guns into the schools.
01:55:20:00 – 01:55:45:27
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
And so by putting the police there and putting these metal detectors there, it looks like a prison. When you go into school. And then we wonder what’s encouraging the school to jail pipeline. Come on. And you can you can already see we’re addressing the schools up like a prison. That’s right, that’s right. And now that we’re not eating at home and the school is feeding us, that’s just like a prison.
01:55:45:27 – 01:56:08:29
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Also. So I hope we could see what’s happened. I know these things. They don’t sound pretty, you know. You know, they don’t sound good to the ear and stuff. But we came to tell you what you need to hear. I had to listen to it. And Jesus preached some hard truths in the Bible. And they said. And from that day, many didn’t walk with him no more, because it was just too much for him.
01:56:09:01 – 01:56:26:26
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
But man, when you’ve been living in falsehood for 460 years like that and you just start getting some truth, we just waking up, that’s just a wake up message. The message that we’re supposed to get. You thought you could go to heaven and live like this. This is why we have funerals talking about. Well, I know he like to gamble.
01:56:26:26 – 01:56:47:11
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
I guess he got a slot machine up there in heaven. I know he’s playing. Well, wait a minute. Now. You see, we even think like that, that we can take our vices to heaven. This is a this is the disregard we had. Thank God a friend have come to us. And the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan. All praise is due to Allah.
01:56:47:13 – 01:57:03:07
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
So, you know, we invite you to be out with us tomorrow night at 730. The men that, you come to our orientation class and look.
01:57:03:09 – 01:57:26:14
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
When you wake up in the morning from sleep, I mean, one of the first things we do is go to the mirror. Now, if we knew what we looked like before we went to sleep, it obviously didn’t change when we woke up. So what are we? What are we looking for in the mirror? We trying to sleep. What the sleep do to us.
01:57:26:17 – 01:57:45:21
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Then we get the rag and wipe the face and clear up our vision. And we can see objects better and everything. That’s what orientation is for us. What happens on a physical plane? We can see it happening on a spiritual plane, and we start wiping our eyes in the spiritual sense of the word, and we’re no longer blinded the way we were.
01:57:45:28 – 01:58:09:28
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
The better we see, the better we can negotiate that life out there. Because that’s a jungle life out there. The life they’ve given us to live out there is to lessen our chances at life. And I mean, we check it out so early. Our grandparents are burying us, so we’re not even living to be the age of our grandparents.
01:58:10:00 – 01:58:31:10
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
You know, that’s that’s what you call being turned upside down. And that’s what Mr. Yaku civilization and his children with charts to do, turn them upside down and and take falsehood and exalted and take truth and bury it so truth lie dead in the streets. The Bible says, but, we invite you to be out with us tomorrow night at 730.
01:58:31:10 – 01:58:54:11
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad

A seed just won’t stay like it is. Once it’s in the ground, it grows into something bigger and bigger and makes more seeds to grow.

02:04:58:16 – 02:05:17:23
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Oh Allah, guide us on the street path. The path of those upon whom thou hast bestowed favors, and not the path of those upon whom thy wrath has brought down, and nor those who go astray. After hearing that you say, he lives one Allah, as he upon whom we all depend, he neither begat nor is he begotten, and there is none like him.
02:05:17:26 – 02:05:35:28
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
I bear witness that none deserves to be served to worship. Besides, Allo, who appear to us in the person, is a master foreign to Muhammad. We are eternally grateful to him, that after three years and four months he gave to us his wise choice and the messenger, Messiah, the exalted, the risen and living Christ in the most honorable Elijah Muhammad.
02:05:36:01 – 02:05:54:19
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
And to the two of them, if we lived a thousand years, we can never thank them for the messianic figure they walked among us. And the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan is in their names. We pray. I mean, dear family, go in peace and remember these words. We are never to be the aggressor, but if we are rest upon, we fight with those who fight with us.
02:05:54:21 – 02:05:55:21
