Sunday 05-12-2024

00:00:00:00 – 00:00:20:23
Speaker 2
to us in the personage. A master w Pharaoh Muhammad, the long awaited Messiah of the Christians and the Mahdi of the Muslims. We thank him for traveling 9000 miles, leaving his seat in Paradise to come and seek and say that which he saw was worthy to be saved.

00:00:20:26 – 00:00:42:28
Speaker 2
And that is the black man and woman in the hills of North America, and in truth, all the fallen humanity. But the black man and woman here first, and we thank him for staying among us three years and four months. And in that time, at a meeting like this one, a man showed up, a man who, like ourselves, was searching for something.

00:00:43:00 – 00:01:11:18
Speaker 2
You heard about the he had heard about a word, and that word had resonated in the world. All these people were going out to hear this man speak. So this particular man showed up at a meeting like this one back in the 1930s. And when he showed up, he sit down front and he listened to that man teach Master Farad Muhammad and as he listened to him, he knew or he recognized him on sight.

00:01:11:21 – 00:01:34:14
Speaker 2
Why? Because his father was a Baptist minister. And as a little boy, he was sit on the front seat. And as he stood on the front seat of the church, you know, listening to his father teach, he knew that as his father presented the word from the King James Version of the Bible, there was something missing. We have something in the Nation of Islam call connecting the dots as we teach him.

00:01:34:18 – 00:01:55:24
Speaker 2
Well, he saw and this man, this man who had sitting in the seat just like you are, saw in the in the master teacher that he had connected the dots of all the things that were missing from what his father was teaching, that he noticed that there was something more to it. And as he listened to him, he just felt and knew right then.

00:01:55:27 – 00:02:13:23
Speaker 2
He is the one. And when at the end of the meeting, we have something called acceptance, where every mosque across this nation, in the Nation of Islam, we have that. And we ask those who offer their first time, you know, do you believe what you heard is true and good for our people? And would you like to come and join on to your own?

00:02:13:25 – 00:02:31:12
Speaker 2
Will not join, but you’re already a member. But would you like to accept? You only do yourself well anyway, when it was his turn, the procession started and he got close to the master. Teacher shook his hand and looked him in the eye and says, I know who you are. And the master teacher pulled him close and says, yes, who knows it?

00:02:31:12 – 00:03:03:05
Speaker 2
But you? It kind of pushed him more. Well, the relationship didn’t end there, and because of that exchange, we are sitting here today and we thank that wonderful human being for being able to recognize who that master teacher was because of him. Again, I say, that’s why we’re sitting here today and about to get some of the same teaching that this one guy, the man who uttered those words, I know who you are, the Georgia born black man, he born in 1897.

00:03:03:07 – 00:03:22:21
Speaker 2
And in our history we’re taught that he was born on the heels of slavery, so he know what suffering was about. And by his own testament he said in his own words, he said that the master teacher told him, brother, you have enough of the original materials in you that I can work with you. Is that beautiful? Yes, sir.

00:03:22:23 – 00:03:52:01
Speaker 2
We’ll get to that a little later. But the man that under those words, he was born Elijah Pool. But because of the wonderful and magnificent work that he was doing in a place called Black Bottom, Detroit, where our black people there in the 1930s were on the bottom. But because of the teachings that was deposited in him, the mind of God is so he didn’t break, he didn’t falter, and nor did he leave this post, regardless of whom or what he is.

00:03:52:01 – 00:04:11:19
Speaker 2
The board is the bad is the greatest human being in the annals of history because of the work that he was charged with, and that is to raise a dead human being, the black man and woman, the man that I speak of. As I said, he was born Elijah Pool. But because of that work, he became known as the Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad.

00:04:11:22 – 00:04:41:24
Speaker 2
All praise is due to a life of that wonderful, wonderful human being. However, and you’ve heard me say it before in the Bible, it talks about how confession is good for the soul. I did not personally meet Master Foreign Muhammad. I didn’t personally meet the Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad. But there’s a man on scene today and you can bear me witness that he, like those two, has undying love for the black man and woman.

00:04:41:26 – 00:05:05:18
Speaker 2
As a matter of fact, he loves us so much that he will come to the rostrum in pain and will teach without taking medication. That’s love that none of us would probably do. Some of us get a toothache. Well, that’s a pretty bad of our headache. We ain’t coming. No, we. I’m staying home today. I’m laying down. But anyway, that’s not what he does.

00:05:05:21 – 00:05:33:15
Speaker 2
We say that he is the most famous Muslim on the planet. Why? Because he goes where everyone else is afraid to go. He speaks that which everyone else is afraid to think. And he’s bold. He’s bad. He’s courageous. As a matter of fact, he is the embodiment of those first two. And not only is he the embodiment of the first two, every prophet in the Koran and in the Bible is in him.

00:05:33:17 – 00:05:56:04
Speaker 2
He’s known he could be called the Rose of Sharon, the lily of the valley, the bright and the morning star. He is our leader, teacher, guide, our friend, our champion, the honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan. And it is in their names, their family. I greet you all once again with the greeting, where’s the peace? I salaam aleikum.

00:05:56:07 – 00:05:58:13
Speaker 1
we this morning, family all.

00:05:58:13 – 00:06:11:18
Speaker 2
Praises due to Allah. We want to thank our love for forever being merciful to us. As a matter of fact, the highest manifestation of mercy and our dispensation today.

00:06:11:21 – 00:06:12:16
Speaker 1
Is.

00:06:12:18 – 00:06:29:03
Speaker 2
The Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan. Oh, anybody want to challenge me on that? I know you don’t, because I can prove it at no limit of time. He is mercy without a doubt. And we thank our Lord for that wonderful, wonderful gift that he has given to us to study so that we

00:06:29:03 – 00:06:42:09
Speaker 2
can save our own lives because we are in and walking through the valley of the shadow of death, also known as the War of Armageddon, it is already begun.

00:06:42:12 – 00:07:16:05
Speaker 2
So, dear family, before I go any further, let me thank you for being here this morning on time. Thank you for coming and wanting to hear the life giving teachings of the Honorable Elijah Muhammad. Thank you for submitting to the check procedure, for you are in the seas now because I know I’m among some good people. I know I’m among some righteous people or those that are striving to be right, because the only admittance into this House today or any of our houses, is that your spirit had to be right, not just, you know, we went over your physical person to see if there was anything there that we didn’t allow in the house, but

00:07:16:05 – 00:07:23:10
Speaker 2
we checked the spirit as well. So you must have been of some of the right substance to get through the door. So thank you for submitting.

00:07:23:10 – 00:07:32:14
Speaker 2
Dear family. you know, the check procedure is so important. You know, people some people have come in and said, we know why y’all got to be going over me like that. Why you got to put your hands on me like that?

00:07:32:16 – 00:07:36:14
Speaker 2
Well, you know, if you, trying to if you go to the airport right.

00:07:36:16 – 00:07:37:02
Speaker 1
Come on.

00:07:37:05 – 00:07:56:11
Speaker 2
You go to the airport. What the, TSA do, sometimes they make you take your shoes off. Do they still do it? You take your shoes off. They don’t mean satisfiability. Take your shoes off and walk over there, and then they put you through an x ray machine. And why do you allow them to do that? Because we want to get to where we want where we’re going.

00:07:56:11 – 00:08:20:13
Speaker 2
Right. Whereas the Honorable Louis Farrakhan says to us so eloquently, well, today we want to get to where we are going and that’s where we have that same process in here, because you have crossed over from not one nation into another nation, the nation of Islam, the nation that is being set up by Almighty God, Allah Himself, the Honorable Elijah Muhammad, and the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan.

00:08:20:16 – 00:08:45:14
Speaker 2
Y’all all right? Family. happy Mother’s day. I gotta say that I don’t want to sound hypocritical because every day is a mother’s day, you know? I mean, if you look at it, Mother’s Day. Wow. I was, I saw, the, the people I work with, you know, they, they were talking to each other. It was a brother and a sister, and the brother was carrying the sister’s bag for it.

00:08:45:17 – 00:09:07:19
Speaker 2
And he said. And she said, oh, look, look, Mike, he’s carrying my bag. Isn’t that funny? I said, no, that’s a grand achievement. I said, because a woman carried us one day, didn’t she, for nine months, and the door of the womb opened so that we could come into the world to have life. So no man should ever be ashamed to open the door for a woman or carry her bags.

00:09:07:26 – 00:09:28:13
Speaker 2
Just because of the sisterhood that mama and that love she showed us first. So, dear sisters who are mothers and those who are mothers to be, we salute you this day and we pray that your day is peaceful. And for those of us who haven’t talked to mama in a while, we should be talking to her often because you only get one right now.

00:09:28:13 – 00:09:49:21
Speaker 2
We know Father’s Day is coming up down the road. Will we? We only worry about that, brother, right? We we just keep moving. But on Mother’s Day, yeah, we we make a big thing out of it. Because a nation can rise. No higher than this woman. And mother is so key. She’s the first doctor, first nurse, first teacher.

00:09:49:23 – 00:10:11:07
Speaker 2
So much so, the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan says that a baby don’t know nothing about God. And when a baby’s dead, there mama answers to prayer and to a baby. That’s a prayer. And mama answers it. I want to be changed. I want something to eat. Well, I just want to be held. But mama answers the prayer, right?

00:10:11:09 – 00:10:33:26
Speaker 2
So mama is very, very key and so is the woman. And we don’t put the woman second, not in not not in our nation. She’s right up there with us shoulder to shoulder. Y’all all right. All praise is due to Allah. So, dear family, as we move on, let me just go this way with this first, the Final Call newspaper.

00:10:33:29 – 00:10:57:12
Speaker 2
How many of us are we reading this? Yes, sir. You know, reading is, It’s very key. Reading makes us wise. Doing it. So if you want to be wise, we got to read. And this is a beautiful tool to pick up. As a matter of fact, we, our, our, our guest ministers today and this weekend, he talks about this with words and things, how words are making us wise.

00:10:57:16 – 00:10:59:07
Speaker 3
If we read.

00:10:59:09 – 00:11:19:15
Speaker 2
You know, people don’t read anymore, right? Everybody caught up with these little 10s 32nd little, clips. And they think they’re getting news. They think they’re getting information. But you know what that’s like? That’s like sitting on the couch eating potato chips, watching somebody work out on television and think your muscles are going to grow. You know, I mean, watching that kind of stuff.

00:11:19:15 – 00:11:44:15
Speaker 2
But if you really want to grow the muscle, the facultative reasoning called the brain, we have to use words. We have to read words. We have to look them up, find out their definition, then use those words for the greatest things, the highest form of communication conversation. Right? We talk to people all the time, right? Because we either trying to give information or we’re trying to get some information.

00:11:44:17 – 00:12:05:18
Speaker 2
Y’all all right, all right. Well, now that we’ve talking about this final call, I usually like to tell you, that when you grab the final call, the first thing you should do as a this is my. This is what I say as a rule, when we are in the streets, I instruct our brothers and sisters that the key to reading this paper is to start on page 19.

00:12:05:21 – 00:12:27:24
Speaker 2
Those are the words of the Honorable Elijah Muhammad. And then once you read that timely article, go right to the centerfold. That’s the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan. Then right after that, a few pages over, we got Farrakhan, the traveler, with our brother, student Minister Jabril Muhammad. May for Allah forever be pleased with him. And then down the page right across him that we have revealing the number 19.

00:12:27:24 – 00:12:57:21
Speaker 2
That’s us just to me. I’ll I’ll be pleased with her mother time. Benita Muhammad. So this is not just a paper. It’s tells you it’s a volume, which means it’s a book of wisdom. And then you have local, national and international news in it. And it is the unadulterated truth. Why can we say that? Because there are no sponsors in this paper, which means that if we print something that they don’t like, they say, well, I’m going to pull my sponsorship and, you know, y’all can lose money.

00:12:57:23 – 00:13:22:15
Speaker 2
Well, you can’t do that with this one. As a matter of fact, not only does this freeze up, our illustrious leader, the honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan, it frees us up to be the freest black people on the planet. And while we are talking about the minister, yesterday we celebrated his 91st birth anniversary. All praise belongs to Allah. Such a milestone.

00:13:22:17 – 00:13:48:01
Speaker 2
You know, brother, the music was talking to us yesterday, and he was talking about, you know, all of the leaders. There was a time, you know, they they say that what was the, in the old days, they would tell you that the median age for us was, what, 65? And he talks about how people were saying that the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan, how can he live to be that old unless he sold out of something?

00:13:48:03 – 00:14:16:09
Speaker 2
What? Come on. No, that’s clean living. That’s following the instructions of the God. They gave it to him through his wonderful teacher, the most honorable Elijah Muhammad. That’s obedience. That’s what obedience will get you. And when you look at him, I know some people in their 40s that look they look horrid, but not the minister. He’s 91 years young and he’s still strong.

00:14:16:12 – 00:14:31:19
Speaker 2
He spoke at Savior’s day. He was standing. He stood for, what was it? Almost two hours. Then finally they said to him, brother Minister, why don’t you take a seat? And he said, you know what? I’m gonna go ahead on take the seat because they asked me to. But how many? Not how many. How many of us can stand for that long?

00:14:31:21 – 00:14:35:25
Speaker 2
Sometimes we all pose. We’d be there for 15 minutes. Your brother ain’t got no relief yet.

00:14:35:27 – 00:14:37:03
Speaker 1
Is.

00:14:37:06 – 00:15:02:25
Speaker 2
It? That’s an inside joke. Yeah, but I’m just saying we have to look at him because he is a divine example and model for us to study. Why? He’s the last man standing. All of his detractors have fallen. How many of us remember Phil Donahue, Barbara Walters, Larry King, all of the literary giants of the 20, 20th century, 21st century?

00:15:02:27 – 00:15:21:23
Speaker 2
The ministers set him down. And there are more to that list. But he spanked them because they thought they could go in and deal with him in handling, like any old Negro in, you know, and they got crashed their plane crash right there. And they they were never able to recover their black box, meaning they couldn’t come back and do what they used to do.

00:15:21:25 – 00:15:41:11
Speaker 2
brothers and sisters, we have a powerful, powerful leader in our midst. He’s a beautiful human being. And we thank our love for allowing him to stay among us at this time. And we know he has to go away. He has a date with destiny. But we understand that, right? We ain’t gonna get all worked up over that because that’s our man.

00:15:41:13 – 00:16:03:07
Speaker 2
He’s our leader, teacher, guide and friend, the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan. Oh, praise is due to Allah, and I hold this up. This is the study guide. How many were out on Friday? Study got for self-improvement. The basis for community development. We picked up something there. look at that. That’s a beautiful, as I said, a beautiful picture.

00:16:03:10 – 00:16:22:04
Speaker 2
That’s a beautiful man. I mean, and you can only look like that. You can’t walk around and look like this with vitriol and hatred in your heart. There has to be love in your heart, too, because whatever’s on the inside comes to the outside. You know what I’m saying? So if you want to look at your muscles and know how you are on the inside, if you got flab, it got flab everywhere.

00:16:22:04 – 00:16:44:04
Speaker 2
And I’m not mocking. I’m not mocking. I’m just saying it’s called the law of opposites. Whatever it is on the inside reflects self on the outside. So if he looks like that on the outside, what kind of heart do you think he really has? We know it’s genuine. This is biggest. This planet is self 196,940,000mi² of love for you and me.

00:16:44:06 – 00:17:08:13
Speaker 2
Isn’t that a beautiful thing? But let me get right back to the self-improvement. On Friday, we were talking about something called habit. We were asked to, you know, comment on something that we’ve been trying to work on and that is to. Talk about how you have a a constructive habit that you’re trying to, you know, refine, make it better.

00:17:08:15 – 00:17:32:12
Speaker 2
You know what I mean? We all pray, right? You want to raise your hand? Maybe. But in your heart, we know we should be praying, right? The Koran says obedience is better than sacrifice, prayer is better than sleep. And the remembrance of a lot is the greatest. Fourth. Y’all all right? Yes. So it also says that word not for our prayers.

00:17:32:12 – 00:17:59:13
Speaker 2
Allah wouldn’t care for us to think that over. So we want to have being Allah is good graces. We have to pray. Of course, fasting is their charity. Believe in all our belief in his messenger. You know the principles of Islam. But we are trying to work on this habit. So the habit it talks about how we just, get to it real quick.

00:17:59:16 – 00:18:17:18
Speaker 2
How many of us, like, sleep and everybody I don’t know, I know, I know, that’s not like a trick question. Did it? Sleep is like a drug, isn’t it? But when? When when Fajr prayer comes in the morning. Sometimes you have to really fight that sleep to get it off you. It’s like he’s got his arms around you, holding you like this.

00:18:17:20 – 00:18:36:29
Speaker 2
Now? no. You stay right here and the covers are on, and God forbid if it’s chilly outside, you just don’t want to move, do you? Or if you’ve had a hard night the previous night and you just trying to get caught up on your rest. Sleep has a hold on us. But we’re. So we’re instructed that we are to break that sleep.

00:18:37:01 – 00:18:45:22
Speaker 2
And were back in the old days that we were taught that, you know, go not near sleep when you’re intoxicated and people misinterpret that. You mean I can still take a drink?

00:18:45:25 – 00:18:46:17
Speaker 1
No, that’s.

00:18:46:17 – 00:19:13:06
Speaker 2
Not what that meant. Sleep is like being intoxicated. That’s why we wash. We go through ablution, right? You know, we wash the body, we watch the ears, the eyes, the nose. You know, the mouth. You know, that’s, you know, in the arms, up to the elbows. Unless you take a complete bath, the shower. But is the clean ourselves up to go away and it wakes us up to prepare ourselves to speak to the supreme, sovereign Lord, Almighty God, or Lord himself.

00:19:13:08 – 00:19:38:23
Speaker 2
So in the act we are going to him clean. Why wouldn’t you want to go to God clean? I mean, think about that. Who wants to go to the God dirty? And what? God accept us being dirty? No. Emphatically no. He wants us to come clean. So prayer is a good habit, right? I mean, but coupled with prayer, there’s that sleep that we have to beat down to get to the prayer.

00:19:38:25 – 00:19:58:23
Speaker 2
So think of this as we think of a habit that you have right now. You don’t have to raise your hand. You don’t have to confess it. But think of something that you have right now that’s not constructive that you want to get rid of. Well, how about this how do you go about getting rid of that habit?

00:19:58:26 – 00:20:15:06
Speaker 2
We have to face it, right? We have to say, I mean, some of us like candy bars. I mean, I, I don’t know, I’m just throwing that out there. But if you like candy bars, you know that at a certain point can be detrimental to your, your health as well. Right? So we try to get rid of that.

00:20:15:09 – 00:20:43:26
Speaker 2
I mean, you can have it, but not all the time. But a constructive habit is something that we have to emphatically put our hearts and minds to, to achieve. Let’s look listen to this. And this is how we let in to that part of, you know, the habit in everything. look at how many rockets have fallen out of the sky with a few successive launches of a new program that came out of NASA.

00:20:44:04 – 00:21:06:00
Speaker 2
Suddenly every rocket that sent up exploded. See, there’s another power. And that power is trying to tell you. Look, man, you are not God. You had better wake up and recognize you are coming out into my universe taking a peek at what my technology has built. Why don’t you bow down and recognize that there is somebody bigger than you?

00:21:06:03 – 00:21:28:02
Speaker 2
Now, this part of the lecture is really the heart of it. This is very difficult and I want you to pay attention. This is the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan talking in the Koran as well as the Bible. Allah says I am going to place a ruler in the earth. And the angels say to ally, what will you place in it except that which will create mischief and cause the shedding of blood?

00:21:28:04 – 00:21:47:28
Speaker 2
We celebrate your praise and extoll your holiness. But God says to them, I know what you know not. I am going to place a ruler in the earth, and that ruler that I place in the earth is going to create mischief and cause the shedding of blood. The angels say, you are holy, why would you do a thing like this?

00:21:47:28 – 00:22:11:25
Speaker 2
And God says, I know what you know. Now listen carefully. Now the Honorable Elijah Muhammad gave us a very clear interpretation of the Koranic passage. That interpretation dealt with the ruler who is over the nations of the earth, who has created mischief and the shedding of blood. But God, who knows best, said that even though a mischief maker has become the ruler by my permission.

00:22:12:00 – 00:22:37:15
Speaker 2
Nevertheless, at the end of the mischief making and blood shedding, there is something that will wipe away the pain of his rule. I know what you know. Not tonight. I would like to advance another interpretation of that scripture. You say, wait a minute, Farrakhan, who are you to advance an interpretation? And he says, really? Nobody. Just a student of a great teacher.

00:22:37:18 – 00:23:05:05
Speaker 2
But you know, it is wrong for any man to think that any one interpretation of a divine word is the interpretation. How could this be God’s Word? And you treat it as though it is your word? If the God who reveals the book gives a word that is comparable to his own consummate knowledge of thing, then how could you dare say that His word is limited to your meager interpretation or mine?

00:23:05:07 – 00:23:30:04
Speaker 2
I would like to offer this interpretation to you as another way to look at Scripture. Listen, this is what he said. I’m going to place a ruler in the earth, not on the earth, but in the earth. Stop right there. Y’all with me? Well, let me read on night, then I’ll come back to that. The Honorable Louis Farrakhan says your flesh is from what?

00:23:30:06 – 00:23:50:17
Speaker 2
The vegetation of the earth, though, your blood is from what? The water of the earth. Your bones are from the stone that you’re this lump of flesh and blood and bone has to have a ruler. And it something that rules it, something that commands it and dominates it. Is. Is that right?

00:23:50:20 – 00:23:51:09
Speaker 1
Yes, sir.

00:23:51:11 – 00:24:15:15
Speaker 2
Okay, listen, go back to that habit. We can break any habit, right? We can build on any habit. Why? Because when Almighty God, I created you and me. Just by what? The minister just said, he deposited some of himself into us. Is there anything that God can’t do? No, I. I can do anything he wills himself to do anything he wants.

00:24:15:15 – 00:24:47:00
Speaker 2
He wills it. He will the sun into existence, didn’t he? And is still there. Rotation revolves in his own orbit. A ball of fire that burns but doesn’t burn up. Right. Y’all all right? Yes, sir. So if he could do that, what about us? The God is in us. So we have, let’s say, that habit that we’re trying to to deal with, trying to pray more and then sleep comes up.

00:24:47:03 – 00:25:16:07
Speaker 2
And then we listen to the voice that says, you can do it later. Don’t get up now. And then a voice that’s inside the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan asked us in another another reading in the self-improvement study guide, would you kill the Messenger of Allah? And of course, everybody says on hearing it, no, I wouldn’t, he says. But every time that voice that comes up and talks to us, that, you know, it challenges us, it removes us.

00:25:16:07 – 00:25:36:15
Speaker 2
It checks us and we ignore it. And that act you have kill the Messenger of Allah. Now remember, now he’s deposited some of himself into us, and then the Koran says that he is close to yet closer than your own jugular vein. Well, if the jugular vein is in the next on either side. And what is he saying?

00:25:36:17 – 00:25:57:18
Speaker 2
I am in you, of course. There’s a universal verse of God that we pray to. The universe arranges things in our lives to get the things that we pray for. It sets up situations and circumstances. However, when we pray, you know some of our in the prayer that we do, part of it is audible, right? Some of it is silent.

00:25:57:21 – 00:26:02:10
Speaker 2
But when you talking out loud, who’s in the room? But you, who are we talking to?

00:26:02:13 – 00:26:04:02
Speaker 3
Is the God of so.

00:26:04:04 – 00:26:25:24
Speaker 2
And the more we listen to that voice, as the honorable minister Louis Farrakhan tells us, he says, the more you listen to that voice that’s in us and you don’t shut it off, it closes it push you push us to that thing inside of us called the self accusing spirit. And what is the self accusing spirit again? That’s that voice that no checks it sometimes.

00:26:25:24 – 00:26:44:17
Speaker 2
You know how it is. The Honorable Elijah Muhammad said that when all are made, the sun and all the planets, he made them at right angles to himself. And he said that when he did that, why did he do it that way? He said, on a spiritual level, when he made our brains, he made our brains to think right before wrong.

00:26:44:20 – 00:27:06:17
Speaker 2
We can prove it. Have you ever had a thought? Let’s just say you were taking a test and you weren’t sure about an answer called answer A and see look similar, but you knew the answer was see? But instead you second guess yourself and chose a, only to find out when you get your paper back. When he showed you the right answer, it was C eight, right?

00:27:06:20 – 00:27:31:07
Speaker 2
And that’s how we do a lot of time. The first thought that we have is usually the right thought. But then that voice comes up that checks it. So we go to the sewer. 114 and a holy Koran I seek refuge in the Lord of men, the King of men, the God of men from the evil of the whisperings of the slinking devil who whispers within the hearts of men, and the jinn y’all follow.

00:27:31:10 – 00:27:58:06
Speaker 2
That’s nothing else out of ourselves is in us. But how do we check it? We have to rely on Almighty God, Allah and how do we rely on him? How do we show that we want to extract the energy and the power that we need from him to quell those negative thoughts? We have to pray right? The Honorable Louis Farrakhan said a sister asked him once, Brother Minister, why is it that every time I have a good thought, a bad one comes up behind it?

00:27:58:08 – 00:28:18:11
Speaker 2
Have you ever done it? Think of something good you want to do and then don’t something come up and tell you, you know, kind of check you out. You can’t do that or don’t do that. And you say, oh, go ahead. It’s all right. Nobody. Oh, no. Yeah. Somebody knows, Allah knows. And you know the Allah within ourselves knows.

00:28:18:13 – 00:28:38:21
Speaker 2
And every time we shut it down, we pull ourselves closer to the of the destruction that we’re bringing by. Is that the Quran says it. The man gets what he strives for. So we’re striving for right? We’ll get right. But if we continue to do wrong, that’s where we will end up at y’all. All right, let me read on just a little bit more in this.

00:28:38:21 – 00:28:57:11
Speaker 2
And, look at this. It says, now look who is talking. This is the Lord of creation talking. I’m going to place a rule in the earth. And the angel said, My God, what you are going to place in the earth to create mischief and cause the shedding of blood. Then he answered, I know what you know. Not now.

00:28:57:11 – 00:29:24:19
Speaker 2
If God is going to form this body, and he knows that you are supreme above the sun, moon, and stars, above all the creatures, you are the supreme existence man and woman he is going to place in you a ruler, but the ruler that he puts in you has got to come through stages of development, and on his way is going to create mischief and cause the shedding of blood.

00:29:24:21 – 00:29:50:11
Speaker 2
I want you to follow me because I want you to see yourself. I’m going to place a ruler. In Hebrew, ruler means Elohim or God. Divine essence will divine forth. God shares himself with man and woman. The only reason you can say I is because the true I has shared part of his. I am with you that you may be.

00:29:50:13 – 00:30:11:11
Speaker 2
Look now he I, Lord God, places in you a power from himself. I’m going to say this. It may create a lot of trouble, but you are. You all are ready. You’re already in trouble when God gives you some of himself. That is a power that you have to learn to handle. You see, people get rich too fast.

00:30:11:14 – 00:30:33:29
Speaker 2
What happens to them? You have to be spiritually equipped to handle the power of God. When God shares himself with you, he gives you a problem to overcome. You have to struggle with the only force that is in you, which is the God force. There is no other force but God. I thought there’s a devil. Wait a minute.

00:30:34:01 – 00:30:57:12
Speaker 2
That is what you become when you abuse a God force and use it for negative ends. Isn’t that powerful? Yes. Y’all all right? Let me go on. Many years ago, people thought that the Earth was the center of the universe. Then they thought that perhaps the sun was the center of the universe. So we asked the honorable Elijah Muhammad one day, is the sun the center of the universe?

00:30:57:12 – 00:31:27:09
Speaker 2
He said, the sun is very near the center. He didn’t say anymore. The sun is not the center God. Allah himself is the center of what he creates. He makes everything to revolve. If the sun were the absolute God, it would move. It was just make everything else move. But the sun is also revolving. It is near the center and there is an unseen reality that makes the sun move.

00:31:27:12 – 00:31:49:00
Speaker 2
You all right? Look at a child. What makes a child want to be the center of attention? This is key. Have you seen your children? Have you been one. Probably. You still are. How many of us want to be the center of attention. Don’t raise your hand. Just follow along. Hey look at me. And he says ha ha.

00:31:49:03 – 00:31:58:25
Speaker 2
Why do you think people go into show business. They want to get attention. And when people shower them, when people shower attention on them.

00:31:58:28 – 00:31:59:13
Speaker 3
They feel.

00:31:59:13 – 00:32:00:09
Speaker 1
Good.

00:32:00:12 – 00:32:33:04
Speaker 2
They become a star. They become great. Then they begin to think they are different. They talk different. It takes time for a child to mature, to realize that there are others in the world other than himself. I want you to look now. Don’t look at anybody else. Look at yourself, because I’m talking to you. Y’all all right? I know as it seems like a steal has come over the audience, but I understand because as I was reading this, I didn’t think of anybody else as I was reading it.

00:32:33:04 – 00:32:53:19
Speaker 2
I was trying to put myself right in this. Am I like this? And I had to be honest with me, yeah, I am. Why? Because I’m not at the perfected state. Because our Lord said he caused everything to go through stage after stage, and then it reaches an eventual point of perfection. But we have to go through the stages.

00:32:53:26 – 00:33:15:24
Speaker 2
We have to go through what is already set up for us so that we can attain what Almighty God has already written down for us to become. Y’all. All right. Family. So at this time, open up your hearts, open up your minds, and let’s bring to this rostrum a very, very powerful speaker. He is our brother, and we’ve seen him.

00:33:15:24 – 00:33:32:26
Speaker 2
We see him every week. He always comes up and he brings us what we need and we feed on it. But at this time, let’s bring to this rostrum, show your love for our Delaware Valley student, Regional Minister Rodney Muhammad. Salaam alaikum.

00:33:32:28 – 00:33:37:20
Speaker 2
Salam Lake. how are we doing? In the name of Allah.

00:33:37:22 – 00:33:55:09
Speaker 3
The one we are wise, a true and a living God. We thank Almighty God, the Villar of all truth, and the sender of all prophets of whom we make no distinction. we do thank him for, Moses and the Torah, for Jesus and the gospel and for Muhammad, and the revelation.

00:33:55:09 – 00:33:57:06
Speaker 1
Of the Holy Koran.

00:33:57:08 – 00:33:58:03
Speaker 2
And as students.

00:33:58:03 – 00:34:07:09
Speaker 3
Of the Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad, the life giving message, we’re most thankful to allow for his own intervention in our affairs in the divine person of Master.

00:34:07:09 – 00:34:07:25
Speaker 1
Fard.

00:34:07:25 – 00:34:28:20

And to the two of them I stand before you, eternally indebted for their students, servant and apostle. But our leader, teacher, and guide, the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan, in their names. Let me greet.

00:34:28:20 – 00:34:31:08
Speaker 2
You again with the greeting words of peace. Salaam alaikum.

00:34:32:25 – 00:34:34:02
Speaker 3
we,

00:34:34:04 – 00:34:34:21
Speaker 2
We thank.

00:34:34:21 – 00:34:36:06
Speaker 3
You and welcome you here to mosque.

00:34:36:06 – 00:34:36:15
Speaker 2
Number.

00:34:36:15 – 00:34:38:09
Speaker 1
12.

00:34:38:11 – 00:34:55:08
Speaker 3
and we are one of the centers for the nation of Islam. Of course, our flagship masses in Chicago, Illinois. and this is where the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan resides. And our national house or the palace, sits.

00:34:55:11 – 00:34:57:29
Speaker 1
we’re very proud of the work.

00:34:58:02 – 00:35:04:28
Speaker 3
That the Honorable Louis Farrakhan has been blessed to do by, only a god could have helped him.

00:35:04:28 – 00:35:05:24
Speaker 1
Do.

00:35:05:26 – 00:35:13:23
Speaker 3
What he has done to stand up, and rebuild, the Nation of Islam.

00:35:13:25 – 00:35:18:19
Speaker 2
Which is the real work of the Honorable Elijah Muhammad.

00:35:18:21 – 00:35:22:10
Speaker 3
yesterday was the birthday.

00:35:22:13 – 00:35:23:04
Speaker 2
of the Honorable.

00:35:23:04 – 00:35:28:20
Speaker 3
Minister Louis Farrakhan. It is a birth anniversary. And, you know, when we came into nation.

00:35:28:22 – 00:35:33:02
Speaker 2
We stopped celebrating our birthdays. We only recognize the birthday of the one.

00:35:33:02 – 00:36:01:05
Speaker 3
Who came from Mecca. and, he came by himself. but by himself. He came with so much power. He raised up people who never could have stood up without his coming. and we are thankful to Master Fard Muhammad, and, we call it Saviors Day. And that’s the language we were already, familiar with. Because, before he came, we were.

00:36:01:05 – 00:36:02:18
Speaker 2
Raised up on a.

00:36:02:18 – 00:36:21:24
Speaker 3
Savior. They just gave us the wrong person. but nevertheless, we are thankful for his coming. But we recognize the birth of the Most honorable Elijah Muhammad. And now we recognize the birth of the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan on May 11th, 19 and 33.

00:36:21:26 – 00:36:23:06
Speaker 2
we are thankful.

00:36:23:09 – 00:36:24:11
Speaker 3
For his birth.

00:36:24:11 – 00:36:27:13
Speaker 1
Because his birth.

00:36:27:15 – 00:36:52:17
Speaker 3
has caused us, to go to what we call divorce court. you know, in Islam, they say you take a shahada. but the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan showed us the shahada, that required us to write a letter. And this Savior’s letter, is our writ of divorce.

00:36:52:20 – 00:36:55:12
Speaker 1
From the white man’s world.

00:36:55:14 – 00:37:20:21
Speaker 3
when you go through what we went through, when you are found in the condition that we were found, a simple declaration, which is, what Shahada has been known by. It won’t work. we’ve taken a lot of declarations in this country, in the land of broken promises. So we’ve only learned how to break our promise.

00:37:20:21 – 00:37:51:25
Speaker 3
So, this God came. He required that we wrote a letter, and the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan teaches us that Shehata won’t work it. It’s not enough. We need a writ of divorce. I have seen some folk that were still, declaring that they were no longer with each other, but they weren’t legally separate. They had been no writ of divorce, so they could not get into a relationship somewhere else until that piece of paper was signed.

00:37:51:25 – 00:37:53:13
Speaker 1
Are you following what I’m saying?

00:37:53:16 – 00:38:17:24
Speaker 3
So we we have a writ of divorce. This is why I can talk to the Caucasian. The way I’m talking to him, I never forget one time I was changing the name on my driver’s license, and they said, you can’t change your name. until you go to court. And I’m saying there was no court when you took my name from me.

00:38:17:24 – 00:38:34:22
Speaker 3
Are you following now? But he said, but if you want your name changed, if you go to court and get the paperwork and come back with the, judgment from the judge, you can do that. I said, I’m not here to change my name. I said, my name is already been changed.

00:38:34:25 – 00:38:36:07
Speaker 1
Are you following? No.

00:38:36:09 – 00:38:39:21
Speaker 2
I’m not here to for you to change my name. I’m here to.

00:38:39:21 – 00:38:52:03
Speaker 3
Update my identification. They said, well, you can’t do that. I said, they said, well this this young man, he said he wants a name change. So they called the supervisor out.

00:38:52:05 – 00:38:52:24
Speaker 1
You and and.

00:38:52:24 – 00:39:09:05
Speaker 3
Supervisor saying, well, you have no documentation for name change and everything. I said, no, I’m not here to change my name. The Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan has already done that. You understand? I’m here to update my identification. You all hadn’t been notified.

00:39:09:12 – 00:39:10:16
Speaker 1
Are you following?

00:39:10:18 – 00:39:35:16
Speaker 3
I talk like that because I signed a writ of divorce. And when I signed my name, I signed it in his hand. Writing. He has come to take us. We’re in a land where we only know about being clean. When they brought us here in the holds a slave ship, they put them on the, auction block and they start claiming us.

00:39:35:18 – 00:39:59:26
Speaker 3
Now he has come to make a claim. And in that claim, we are signing a writ of divorce. I’m a divorced man from the white man civilization, and now I am wearing two. this new one that has come and a new civilization is being set up right in our midst. So I am thankful for that. That’s the Islam that I came to.

00:39:59:28 – 00:40:25:05
Speaker 3
That’s the Islam that I belong to. That’s the only Islam that can be accepted today. The immutable principles that are in the Koran, they still exist. They will never be erased. They are eternal. But when you are increased in the knowledge of something, it changes your practice. And so now the knowledge of Islam, which is not a stagnant faith.

00:40:25:07 – 00:40:52:28
Speaker 3
When something is stagnant, you can only go back to some period thousands of years ago to try to find any meaning. But when something is growing all the time, which Islam is, there’s up to date understandings of it. And so we have an up to date understanding of Islam in this time that we are, you know, it’s the only way to defeat present day realities that are on us.

00:40:52:28 – 00:40:53:11
Speaker 3
Okay.

00:40:53:11 – 00:40:54:12
Speaker 2
So we are.

00:40:54:12 – 00:41:19:00
Speaker 3
Thankful for all that. But I’m not the speaker today. We are here. We are celebrating the birth of the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan, who is bringing us such a great understanding of our faith today. But, we have one that has worked with him that we are so happy to bring back to our city. he was in Wilmington, Delaware, Friday night.

00:41:19:00 – 00:41:39:28
Speaker 3
We had a wonderful time there, as the reports that I’m getting. And we spent all day yesterday, we were in new Jersey, with our brothers and sisters. we were hosted by student minister Brian Muhammad there in Willingboro, new Jersey. And so now we’re back home, in the city of Philadelphia. So I want you to put your hands together.

00:41:40:02 – 00:42:06:28
Speaker 3
This this brother, is saving you and your belief because the material that God has blessed him to put together for the believer over the time. Do you have the book? who do they say I am? do you have the book about, I forgot how it’s titled, but nurse, your caller on the unable to Muhammad say when in trouble.

00:42:07:00 – 00:42:29:28
Speaker 3
He didn’t say. Just pick up and read a couple of pages of the Koran. He said, nurse the Koran. That means we can draw something from it. That that that revives the life that we receive inside of us. You know, and you doing that when you’re in trouble, that means there’s somewhere to go in the Koran that can address your trouble.

00:42:30:00 – 00:42:48:27
Speaker 3
this is a living book. And I never forget the man who stayed with the Honorable Elijah Muhammad, who we had here. He’s no longer with us, Minister Lucius, beyond the dean of the ministers. But he said he he would purchase books for the Honorable Elijah Muhammad. And the messenger one day told him, brother. Fact about it.

00:42:48:28 – 00:43:13:28
Speaker 3
Why are you buying me books? I am the book. you studied me. and he learned from that. And so this, this writing, it’s a living book. And it’s ever pregnant with meaning, that. And so God blesses different ones of us in ways that when they take their path, they’re able to contribute to the whole body.

00:43:14:00 – 00:43:34:10
Speaker 3
And this is one of the brothers that has been blessed to do that. And so I’m proud to have him as a brother. And I know the honorable minister Louis Farrakhan is is happy to have him as part of his own research team. that has done a fantastic job. They have armed us with knowledge in a way that we you can had a sort of truth.

00:43:34:10 – 00:43:54:07
Speaker 3
But if you don’t know how to sword fight, use and still end up stabbed to death. So come on, let’s get your swords out. Somebody’s going to teach you how to sword fight today, you understand? I want you to put your hands together for brother. Student minister Demetric Muhammad from mosque number 55, Memphis, Tennessee, I.

00:43:54:07 – 00:43:55:13
Speaker 1
Salaam alaikum.

00:43:55:15 – 00:44:04:11
Unknown
Thank you for that.

00:44:04:13 – 00:44:13:16
Speaker 3
You may be seated.

00:44:13:18 – 00:44:22:05
Speaker 3
We begin. Beloved brothers and sisters, in the Most holy name of Allah, the beneficent, the merciful. We bear witness that there is no God

00:44:22:05 – 00:44:41:03
Speaker 3
except that Allah is God. And we bear witness that Muhammad is his messenger. We give to Allah praise and thanks for his grace, for his mercy, and for his goodness to us. We thank Allah for his divine and merciful intervention into our affairs.

00:44:41:05 – 00:45:17:07
Speaker 3
Having made his presence known in the divine person of Master Mohammed, we not only thank him for his coming, but we thank him for his wise choice of the most honorable Elijah Muhammad to be a divine leader, teacher and guide for us. And we bear witness today that time and circumstances are revealing to revealing that he is a messenger Messiah, the exalted Christ, and we would not be of, aware or alert or cognizant of the goodness of God to us as a people.

00:45:17:10 – 00:45:23:02
Speaker 3
In The Honorable Elijah Muhammad had the enemies of our people been successful.

00:45:23:07 – 00:45:24:28
Speaker 1
As a.

00:45:25:00 – 00:45:57:09
Speaker 3
As we may talk a little bit about today, we have an enemy. Yeah, that has been in an existential threat to our very existence. And he has frequently sought out all of those who were naturally born among us, guided by Allah, to lead us toward liberation. But I’m thankful and grateful to Allah that the enemy was not successful.

00:45:57:11 – 00:46:26:16
Speaker 3
Allah says in the Holy Quran that Satan plans and Allah plans and allies the best of plans yet. And even though Satan was scanning the horizon for a messiah being born among us, his radar did not pick up the man that was at one time just simply call Jeanne. But you gotta look. Come on. That’s intriguing name, isn’t it?

00:46:26:16 – 00:46:42:21
Speaker 3
Yes. So, Jeanne. Do you know that there are scientists today that are trying to discover what they call the god gene as intriguing, isn’t it?

00:46:42:21 – 00:46:42:29
Speaker 1
Yes.

00:46:42:29 – 00:47:16:28
Speaker 3
They they want to find that part of the human being that is prone or leans in the direction of God. And so I don’t think it’s no accident that the man that we are attempting to represent to you today was once upon a time called Jean. But he then became Brother Louis, and at a certain point he became the national representative of the Honorable Elijah Muhammad.

00:47:17:00 – 00:47:51:11
Speaker 3
And I’m thankful to Allah that in 1977, in the month of September, after the enemy worked hard to destroy the Nation of Islam, Allah guided this special servant to stand to reveal the work of his teacher. And as they say, the rest is history. We thank Allah for giving to us an extension of the love, the wisdom and the power of the Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad in the person of the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan.

00:47:51:14 – 00:48:07:12
Speaker 3
Beloved brothers and sisters, allow me to greet you in the greeting words of peace in Paradise. Assalamualaikum. I want to, first of all, just say how happy I am to be back in Philadelphia.

00:48:07:14 – 00:48:11:27
Speaker 1
All praise due to a love letter.

00:48:11:29 – 00:48:17:22
Speaker 3
Brother Calvin, go. I want to get plugged in so we can go right to work.

00:48:17:22 – 00:48:22:26
Speaker 1
Brother Calvin and I wait for you.

00:48:22:28 – 00:48:45:05
Speaker 3
But we were blessed to arrive in the cities on this side. We were blessed to arrive in the city on Friday as Brother Steward, Minister Rodney shared with you. And we went to Wilmington, Delaware. And then yesterday we were in Willingboro, new Jersey.

00:48:45:08 – 00:49:12:08
Speaker 3
And we have had a wonderful time, and I believe it was yesterday that we shared with the brothers and sisters that of all of the various cities that we have been in for the past 16 years, that we have worked as a national, student minister, traveling to different cities. I think, when I looked at the record, I’ve been in Philadelphia more than any other city.

00:49:12:11 – 00:49:20:08
Speaker 3
And and that’s a credit to my big brother and friend and mentor from afar, student Regional Minister Rodney Muhammad.

00:49:20:11 – 00:49:25:15
Speaker 1
All praises their.

00:49:25:17 – 00:50:03:28
Speaker 3
And he is a brother that I am in admiration. for his commitment, for his dedication, for his ability to weather the ups and downs of trying to work among the people were not always easy to work among graduate. Now y’all know I’m telling the truth. We are difficult people. Especially if you trying to leave black folk. you know, sometime we can be the kind of people that we will bite the hand that feeds us.

00:50:04:01 – 00:50:36:26
Speaker 3
And so when you have a man that left his home, left his neighborhood, left his family and friends and colleagues and associates, left the world of his upbringing to travel hundreds of miles to another city, to serve a people who are very difficult to serve and to serve a people whom God loves. But the world doesn’t love. And that’s a brother that deserves a lot of love, honor, and respect.

00:50:36:29 – 00:51:00:29
Speaker 3
So we thank brother student Regional Minister Rodney Muhammad for his gracious invitation for us to be here today. And I want to thank all of the brothers. I want to thank all of the sisters who have helped me have a wonderful stay this weekend. Brother, student, Captain Anthony’s sister, Doctor Sophia, all of the brothers on our security and escort details.

00:51:01:02 – 00:51:38:18
Speaker 3
You know, whenever there’s a great successful event or undertaking or endeavor, a lot of times you see the names and the faces of those who are out front. But trust and believe. There are a lot of brothers and sisters whose names and faces you may not know or see that are working to make that event successful. So my gratitude and appreciation to all of the effort, while all of the MGT and I want to thank all of you who may or may not be registered members of the nation, may be guests and visitors from other communities, it is our honor and our privilege to be here with you today.

00:51:38:20 – 00:52:02:21
Speaker 3
We pray that you feel welcome, and we hope that you will decide to come and continue to be a part of us. the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan is a man that is known and beloved all over the world. He is a man that is known and loved in the Muslim world, a man that is known and loved in Africa, and especially among oppressed people all over the world.

00:52:02:27 – 00:52:29:06
Speaker 3
The name Louis Farrakhan is the name that is identified as a man that is a champion for the people. And so we are grateful and thankful to Allah for everyone that has come out to be with us today. As you see, we’ve taken a subject that is entitled turn my young brothers and sisters over to the Nation of Islam.

00:52:29:09 – 00:53:04:21
Speaker 3
Now raise your hand if you attended this year’s 2024 Saviors Day. Oh wow. So Philly was well-represented. Well, you know that just before the minister concluded his majestic message, before the world where he injected divine guidance into the current Israeli Palestinian crisis in Gaza, he looked out to us and he said, turn my young brothers and sisters over to the Nation of Islam.

00:53:04:23 – 00:53:09:23
Speaker 3
We will teach them, we will train them. We will civilize.

00:53:09:24 – 00:53:11:18
Speaker 1
Their.

00:53:11:21 – 00:53:18:14
Speaker 3
That’s a bold statement. So as basically a man does asking for you and my children.

00:53:18:17 – 00:53:19:23
Speaker 1
In fact.

00:53:19:25 – 00:53:46:20
Speaker 3
It’s intriguing that nobody offered a rebuttal. Nobody said, wait a minute, Farrakhan, we ain’t giving you our babies. What are you talking about? And that’s because, by and large, most folk know, as we’re going to talk a little bit about today, you know, that the Nation of Islam is good for our people. But I like to unpack what the minister stated and add some justification to his bold claim.

00:53:46:23 – 00:54:18:11
Speaker 3
Now, as a student in the ministry, you know, we always try to begin extracting some text from the Word of God in the Nation of Islam because of our work among our people. Frequently you may hear us sometimes go into the Bible of the Christian faith because most of the people that we are reaching for fishing, for performing da’wah among, they are from the dominant Christian society.

00:54:18:13 – 00:54:43:12
Speaker 3
But sometimes more often than others. We will go into the Holy Quran. But I want you to indulge me today because I want to treat the words of the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan as a sacred text. I don’t want you to recoil and walk out of here, but you have to have an appreciation for the fact that we’re not for the Honorable Elijah Muhammad.

00:54:43:16 – 00:54:54:01
Speaker 3
The Bible and the Koran would not be relevant books for us in this country today. I mean, let’s keep it 100.

00:54:54:03 – 00:54:54:17
Speaker 1
Do you.

00:54:54:17 – 00:55:01:05
Speaker 3
Know many people who walk around today and are really seeking to live their life according to the Word of.

00:55:01:05 – 00:55:02:14
Speaker 1
God?

00:55:02:17 – 00:55:27:27
Speaker 3
We are living increasingly in a very secular society. And even though, according to Pew Research, more and more people profess a belief in God also, paradoxically, at the same time, more and more people are walking away from organized religion. It’s not so absent. A guide to make ancient sacred texts relevant in a modern contemporary.

00:55:27:27 – 00:55:29:26
Speaker 1
World.

00:55:29:28 – 00:55:55:22
Speaker 3
The Bible and the Koran doesn’t hold the sway over human thinking that it once did. So my teacher, I bear witness, is a divine servant of God, and I feel as though that I’m living in a time in a space analogous to the time and space of those who were companions of the great worthies and prophets and messengers of all.

00:55:55:24 – 00:56:28:04
Speaker 3
And so I want to begin by looking at a statement made by the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan a few years ago on The Breakfast Club. Y’all are wrong, sir. A subject is turned, my young brothers and sisters, over to the Nation of Islam. Now, the minister said this on the Breakfast Club and I hope you will agree. He says our young people represent the strongest and the best generation we ever had.

00:56:28:06 – 00:56:56:16
Speaker 3
They are not the wisest, but they are the best because they are fearless. When you see fearless young men and women, that’s the generation that God’s hand is on, because that’s the generation that will fulfill the promise of the ancestors who died struggling for true freedom, justice and liberation. The young are the generation that will deliver on that promise.

00:56:56:19 – 00:57:25:28
Speaker 3
With the right leadership. Now, for those of you who study sacred literature, you know this. Sometimes what you read in a sacred document has what seminarians call tension in the text. And in other words, you read something in the Word of God that seems to, at least on the surface, conflict with reality. So a good sermon it is.

00:57:25:28 – 00:57:57:12
Speaker 3
Say it. A good lecture, it is said, goes about the business of resolving the tension that’s there. And I have learned, to be quite frank with you, that I’m always excited when I find an apparent conflict in Scripture, because I’ve learned that that’s my clue, that if I go beneath the surface, there will be a reward in terms of a deeper understanding, a pearl of wisdom, or a jewel of understanding.

00:57:57:15 – 00:58:40:19
Speaker 3
Right now, I say that what the Minister has said is filled with tension, because most folk nowadays don’t agree with this deep. And you have some justification for at least questioning it, because over and over again, we are constantly showing images of our young people when they are involved in violent crime. You know, I have to tell you, Philadelphia, I was with the world and I was really amazed that we had a shootout at the Eat in Philadelphia.

00:58:40:21 – 00:58:42:00
Speaker 1
Right.

00:58:42:03 – 00:58:45:01
Speaker 3
That’s kicking it up a notch.

00:58:46:13 – 00:59:20:28
Speaker 3
But then I had to say, man, what are you saying? You live in Memphis, Tennessee, and you certainly can’t look with a jaundiced eye at the city of Philadelphia for what their young people are doing. Because every morning I turn on the television in Memphis and they’re telling me about the killings that took place. The night before. And over and over again, there is some young brother or some young sister that has been identified as being responsible.

00:59:21:00 – 00:59:52:08
Speaker 3
I mean, as I was leaving the city, news reports circulated that. There was a young sister that killed a man for $60, $320 bill. And then they show that we’re here on a boyfriend. After they killed a man, they went and bought some buffalo wings or something like that. So there is a crisis. Wow. A youth are concerned.

00:59:52:13 – 00:59:52:23
Speaker 1
Yes, I.

00:59:52:26 – 01:00:04:25
Speaker 3
See, but I maintained and I hope to prove that Minister Farrakhan’s words here are not just his words seeking to be uplifting.

01:00:04:28 – 01:00:10:01
Speaker 3
I maintain that the Minister is articulating the view of God.

01:00:10:03 – 01:00:10:21
Speaker 1
Right.

01:00:10:23 – 01:00:43:22
Speaker 3
Now. You know, those of you who are students of the Holy Koran, the second sura, the 138th, it says in the English translation, and we take Allah’s color. For surely Allah is best at coloring, bringing color from an Arabic word sebagai, which means hue, color, really a baptism or an immersion. So in other words, believing men and women in all of seek to take the view of God, right?

01:00:43:25 – 01:00:50:24
Speaker 3
So even if a situation looks very negative, I want God’s perspective. One thing.

01:00:50:27 – 01:00:51:15
Speaker 1
That he.

01:00:51:18 – 01:01:18:27
Speaker 3
Does that many of us know sometimes a negative situation turns positive. If you have faith. But everywhere we are talking about the crisis among our young people. I read where there was a town hall about youth violence right here in Philadelphia, but thinking about what the minister said caused me to not just look at what the news reports give us, right.

01:01:18:29 – 01:01:40:24
Speaker 3
But to look at the overall panoramic, global view of our young people. And I was amazed to see that right in New Orleans, there was two young sisters that have shocked the world because they’ve solved a 2000 year old math problem.

01:01:40:27 – 01:01:43:00
Speaker 3
These.

01:01:43:02 – 01:01:50:22
Speaker 3
Two young they that in college. Now they’re not mathematics majors. These are high school students.

01:01:50:24 – 01:01:52:12
Speaker 1
Yeah.

01:01:52:15 – 01:01:58:12
Speaker 3
So it’s suggestive because they are the same generation as the killers that.

01:01:58:14 – 01:01:59:12
Speaker 1
Do you know.

01:01:59:12 – 01:02:14:13
Speaker 3
That there is a wave of young black political leaders that sweeping the country? They are of the same generation as the killers. This is Baltimore’s courageous young men.

01:02:14:17 – 01:02:14:24
Speaker 1
Right.

01:02:14:24 – 01:02:40:20
Speaker 3
Now. Birmingham’s courageous young men. Now, would you believe that in Jackson, Mississippi, the most racist state, the capital city, they have a black mayor and his name ain’t John Jackson. His name is Shockwave and Tyler. Moomba just.

01:02:40:22 – 01:03:15:14
Speaker 3
So when you look broader, when you pan back to look and see everything that’s available to look at, come on, you come to see why the minister’s words are emphatically true. This is the best generation that we’ve ever produced. All rise, all praises. Due to a lot of. Are you familiar with these sisters of the Freedom Fund? What do you know, beloved brother and sister, as it is with all of the young black political leaders?

01:03:15:17 – 01:03:46:21
Speaker 3
Even with the sisters in high school solving 2000 year old math conundrums, wherever black youth emerge strong, positive and in leadership roles, they face severe opposition. These sisters created something called the strivers Grant. Now, students of the Holy Koran, you know that term cause I would tend to go up because a law over and over again talks about those who strive.

01:03:46:24 – 01:04:17:03
Speaker 3
Yes. That’s right. So they develop the strivers Grant because they said they looked across the business landscape and they said black women need help becoming entrepreneurs and getting into business. So they put their resources. What resources together to create the strivers grant. But then these white evangelical Christians said, you know what? That’s discrimination. Now wait a minute.

01:04:17:03 – 01:04:19:28
Speaker 1
Now I think.

01:04:20:01 – 01:04:25:01
Speaker 3
I’ve heard y’all always said you people.

01:04:25:04 – 01:04:25:28
Speaker 1
Have no.

01:04:26:01 – 01:04:59:06
Speaker 3
You people. You you don’t need no help from the government. Just pull yourself up by your bootstraps. Just you too. You people should help each other. I believe it was the former Clippers owner, Donald Sterling, who was criticizing Magic Johnson and high profile black folk for not helping poor black people. So you mean that these sisters not seeking any help from the government, just say we’re going to create a grant for black women to help them go into business?

01:04:59:06 – 01:05:15:10
Speaker 3
Right now, this case is making it all the way to the Supreme Court. Beloved brother and sister. Now, I would have thought that the lower courts would have said, this is just a frivolous lawsuit. How are you going to tell philanthropists who they can give their money to?

01:05:15:16 – 01:05:17:16
Speaker 1
Yes. All right.

01:05:17:18 – 01:05:32:05
Speaker 3
But I want us to see at the outset. Thank you brother. We want to make sure I don’t fall because they see I’m getting a little bit excited. I guess.

01:05:32:08 – 01:06:24:05
Speaker 3
But I want you to see. And what the minister said is true. Now, I was looking at research into youth crime and violence and in the history. Now, believe it or not. And this was shocking to me. Minister Rodney. But do you know beloved brother and sister, they have done research to prove and document that during the period of time where black people were organized and creating organizations to fight for civil rights, Black power, freedom, justice and equality come on, crime among us and crime among our youth was almost nonexistent.

01:06:24:08 – 01:06:26:15
Speaker 1
So ahead.

01:06:26:18 – 01:07:05:18
Speaker 3
Think about that. This study says civil rights activity and a reduction in crime among Negro says data are presented would suggest a substantial reduction in crimes of violence by Negroes in three cities during periods of organized protests and direct action for civil rights in those cities. The findings are based on official crime reports, medical records, newspaper accounts, and interviews with residents of the three communities, two cities in the Deep South and one in a border state.

01:07:05:20 – 01:07:51:16
Speaker 3
It is hypothesized that Negroes release long dammed up resentment of segregation by asserting themselves directly or vicariously in direct action for civil rights. Such emotional expression, when it occurs in a framework of community organization, may reduce the need for aggressive outbursts of a violent sort, thus reducing the incidence of such crime. In other words, there is something inside of a people like you and I who have been oppressed for 400 years, that we see being manifested in a young generation that no longer wants to go along, to get along.

01:07:51:18 – 01:08:27:06
Speaker 3
They no longer want to acquiesce to the powers that be, but there’s something inside of their breast that is burning to fight all systems of oppression. All praises to a long. And when they are involved in the struggle for freedom, justice and equality, they not carjacking you automatically, they not shooting one another. In other words, we have a generation born to find the gospel.

01:08:27:08 – 01:08:27:28
Speaker 1
Come on.

01:08:28:01 – 01:09:03:28
Speaker 3
We have a generation that is a generation not of promise, but a generation of fulfilled men. So when the young people were involved in fighting the white power structure, because we knew who the enemy was at that time, there was no such thing as black on black crime. Moreover, this research includes studies that when you put young people involved in organizations fighting against injustice, it is good for their mental health and well-being.

01:09:03:28 – 01:09:17:28
Speaker 3
Think about that. All praises due to a of because I don’t know about Philadelphia, but I know in my city there’s a crisis of mental health among young people. That’s the same in Philadelphia.

01:09:18:01 – 01:09:19:10
Speaker 1
Yes.

01:09:19:13 – 01:09:50:02
Speaker 3
Moreover, the research continues by stating, believe it or not, and this was eye opening for me as even as a student of history, but all of the great movements of our people in the leadership position were young people, right now, even without looking at the report, you can have some appreciation for that because as we talked about this weekend, we’re celebrating the blessed 91st birth anniversary of the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan.

01:09:50:04 – 01:09:58:27
Speaker 3
All praises due to a lot, but it’s something to see a leader of the minister’s.

01:09:58:27 – 01:10:03:19
Speaker 1
Caliber reach that age.

01:10:03:22 – 01:10:38:22
Speaker 3
Because the world is still talking about Doctor King, and he died at 39. The world is still talking about Brother Malcolm, and he died at 39, right. Which means that all of the great things you know, of that the king he was doing in his 20s and 30s, same way with Brother Malcolm. So this report says since the earliest early 20th century, young people have been instrumental and reconstructing American political culture and the social and political life of African Americans.

01:10:38:26 – 01:11:10:29
Speaker 3
From the NAACP Youth Council and the Southern Negro Youth Congress in the 1930s and 1940s, to Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee and Student Organization for Black Unity in the 1960s and 70s. Young people again, I say young people were the front line activists during the two major protest waves of the 20th century. Come on, young blacks! Then they helped to propel even the Pan African and Black Power movement.

01:11:11:01 – 01:11:41:15
Speaker 3
I was subject these turn my young brothers and sisters over to the Nation of Islam. All praises due to a large and they show you all of the different movements. When the young people were the leaders, it was even written up in the Muhammad Speaks newspaper under the headline Negro Crime Drops in the South because they are busy with the rights struggle thing over there.

01:11:41:17 – 01:11:51:01
Speaker 3
They. When you’re busy fighting the real enemy brother, you don’t have time to see the brother from the next neighborhood or the brother from a different set. As you are.

01:11:51:03 – 01:11:54:18
Speaker 1
Right in writing from.

01:11:54:20 – 01:11:55:18
Speaker 2
But you know.

01:11:55:18 – 01:12:03:24
Speaker 3
We got to a certain point where we thought we were in a post-racial America and we stopped teaching our babies about then. And me.

01:12:03:26 – 01:12:06:16
Speaker 1
Because, you know.

01:12:06:18 – 01:12:20:11
Speaker 3
When little shows came out like that. So Raven and we for the first time saw interracial relationships, you know, how they meet at the lock up down the hall hallway and pass notes? Do you love me? Check. Yes, check.

01:12:20:15 – 01:12:22:05
Speaker 1
No, I see.

01:12:22:07 – 01:12:57:04
Speaker 3
And we just said, you know, we’re in a post-racial America. And guess what? We even have a black president. I don’t see, but did you notice that it was during the presidency of Barack Obama that America entered a period of racial reckoning, that was stemmed by the deaths of innocent, unarmed black men and women at the hands of corrupt police officers simply because they were black.

01:12:57:06 – 01:12:58:05
Speaker 1
Right.

01:12:58:07 – 01:13:24:16
Speaker 3
And in the black community, we knew that that kind of activity had long been going on, but it just happened to coincide with the advent of cell phone videos that could justify our side of the story. The long time brothers and sisters been saying, the cop just shot me or they brutalized me. But then the cops said, no, he attacked me.

01:13:24:21 – 01:13:56:25
Speaker 3
I was in fear of my life, so I had to kill him. But nowadays you can see it with a video and see. And through that exposure, justice began to come down again. Crime drops as the rights fight speeds up. Come on. So in other words, let’s go back for a minute. To my young brother. To.

01:13:56:28 – 01:14:21:26
Speaker 3
So, in other words, once upon a time, my young brother, they they arrested for the shooting. He would have been a part of the NAACP, or he would have been a part of the Black Panthers, or he would have been a part of Southern Christian Leadership Conference, or he would have been a part of Core or Snake or the Nation of Islam.

01:14:21:28 – 01:14:29:04
Speaker 3
We see. So when the minister says, turn my young brothers and sisters over to the nation.

01:14:29:06 – 01:14:30:02
Speaker 1
Come on.

01:14:30:05 – 01:14:35:26
Speaker 3
It’s within a justified, documented historical context.

01:14:35:26 – 01:14:39:03
Speaker 1
He says, yes.

01:14:39:05 – 01:14:56:05
Speaker 3
And quite frankly, of all of the great organizations of the past, the only one is even really prepared to receive the youth as the nation. But all praises, due to a long.

01:14:56:08 – 01:15:15:07
Speaker 3
I mean, there may be remnants of the organizations of the past, but they’re not as strong as they used to be. Right now. What becomes important to have an appreciation for beloved brothers and sisters is what has the enemy done to sabotage the nation?

01:15:15:13 – 01:15:17:04
Speaker 1
Come on, you know.

01:15:17:04 – 01:15:37:24
Speaker 3
People have various opinions about us. Some folks say we’re crackpots. Some of our Muslim families say, well, they’re good in for social justice, but they’re outside the pale of Islam. You know, we face a lot of criticism, you know, and the minister teaches us, brother, sister, take plenty.

01:15:37:27 – 01:15:40:09
Speaker 1
Yes, I can come on some on.

01:15:40:11 – 01:15:53:11
Speaker 3
And even when the Honorable Elijah Muhammad was beset with certain criticisms from the Sunni orthodox Muslim world, he never argued with them. Right. He loved the Muslim world.

01:15:53:11 – 01:15:54:23
Speaker 1
That’s right. Right.

01:15:54:26 – 01:15:58:26
Speaker 3
His only response was, brother, they don’t have my assignment.

01:15:58:29 – 01:16:00:28
Speaker 1
Come on. That’s right.

01:16:01:00 – 01:16:16:05
Speaker 3
How many of you know that? If you’re looking from something from the outside looking in, it look a certain way until you get inside. Have you ever tried to teach Islam to black people.

01:16:16:08 – 01:16:19:29
Speaker 1
In the home? You’re going to go with.

01:16:20:02 – 01:16:25:03
Speaker 3
That thing look like it’ll go a certain way from the outside looking in.

01:16:25:05 – 01:16:26:08
Speaker 1
Come on.

01:16:26:11 – 01:16:29:03
Speaker 3
Things look a certain way in the periphery.

01:16:29:04 – 01:16:29:26
Speaker 1
Yes.

01:16:29:29 – 01:16:38:26
Speaker 3
I see, but when you’re inside of it, it was like, oh my God, come on now I see why Elijah went.

01:16:38:26 – 01:16:43:23
Speaker 2
The way he went.

01:16:43:26 – 01:16:50:00
Speaker 3
Lord, you can’t let the beauty of the traditions of the Muslim world.

01:16:50:03 – 01:16:50:13
Speaker 1
On.

01:16:50:13 – 01:16:54:15
Speaker 3
Top of nigger dumb.

01:16:54:17 – 01:17:29:05
Speaker 3
You you can take the beautiful traditions and rituals of our Muslim family all over the world who have not suffered under 400 years of slavery, suffering and death and genocide. And put that over top of the brokenness of black people in America. You first of all, have to fix us in our broken. Then you have to identify where was the damage done.

01:17:29:08 – 01:17:55:16
Speaker 3
And that beautiful little Georgia born black man, right? He poured oil in our womb. He put bandages on our ailments. He gave us a medicinal approach to Islam. And it began to heal us like medicine heals a sick man. Oh.

01:17:55:18 – 01:18:28:06
Speaker 3
All praises due to Allah. All praise is due to Allah, who? Thank you. But if we are so insignificant, why has the most powerful government in the world over the history fastened their attention upon us so intensely, seeking to sabotage us? I’m going to go to a verse from the Koran, and I want to give it to you in three different English translations, because each translator gives it to us a little bit clearer and clearer.

01:18:28:06 – 01:19:04:04
Speaker 3
I love this verse for this particular point, because it helps to elucidate a very powerful phenomena stuff. And we never sit a messenger or a prophet before thee. But when he desired, the devil made a suggestion respect his desire. But Allah and knows that was the devil cares. Then does Allah establish his messengers and Allah is knowing wise, that he may make what the devil cast a trial for those in whose hearts is a disease?

01:19:04:06 – 01:19:32:13
Speaker 3
And the hardhearted? And surely the wrongdoers are in severe opposition. That’s how Maulana Muhammad Ali presents Sura 22 at 52 and 53. In the Muhammad Aside translation, it’s presented like this. Yet whenever we sent forth any apostle of profit before thee, and he was hoping that his warnings would be heeded, Satan would cast aspersions on his innermost aims.

01:19:32:17 – 01:20:01:21
Speaker 3
But God renders null and void whatever aspersion Satan may cast, and God makes, his message is clear in and by themselves. For God is all knowing why Jesus? Then the clear Koran makes it even clearer. Whenever we sent a messenger or a prophet before you, old Prophet Mohammed, and he recited our revelations, Satan within fluence people’s understanding of his recitation.

01:20:01:23 – 01:20:06:04
Speaker 3
But eventually Allah would eliminate Satan’s influence.

01:20:06:09 – 01:20:07:09
Speaker 1
Yes.

01:20:07:11 – 01:20:40:24
Speaker 3
Bring me so. The nation has always been purpose with a righteous aim, an objective. But as this I yet makes it clear, the good that we have attempted to do Satan has always interfered to negatively influence the people’s perception of us. And so some of you, if you told your family members and friends you were coming to Mohammed Mosque number 12, they may have looked at you with the side.

01:20:40:24 – 01:20:55:17
Speaker 3
I see some of you, if you start coming here and you begin to talk about the good that you’re learning here, people may say, well, don’t they teach hate? Are they anti-Semitic?

01:20:55:20 – 01:20:57:11
Speaker 1
See? Come on.

01:20:57:13 – 01:21:02:14
Speaker 3
They even called us once upon a time, the Black Muslims that we never called ourselves, that.

01:21:02:16 – 01:21:04:07
Speaker 1
That’s my right.

01:21:04:10 – 01:21:15:16
Speaker 3
So over and over again, they have been those, as Allah says in the Koran, that have interfered with what the Honorable Elijah Muhammad received from Allah.

01:21:15:19 – 01:21:18:13
Speaker 1
Come on, come on again.

01:21:18:15 – 01:21:49:29
Speaker 3
If we are so insignificant, why did Mr. J. Edgar Hoover spend a lot of time and a lot of money, put a lot of labor in terms of man hours, in terms of spying on the nation, infiltrating the nation, using both informants and agent provocateurs, research the informants and agent provocateur is that’s like cancer, one malignant and one benign.

01:21:50:02 – 01:21:50:28
Speaker 2
Don’t be.

01:21:51:01 – 01:22:26:19
Speaker 3
An informant. Just take back information. But an agent provocateur, he’s malignant because he or actually pretend that he’s joining a movement or becoming a part of a brotherhood. But his whole assignment is to do mischief in the name of the brotherhood that he’s been embedded inside of. It is all crazy due to Allah. Right? So that’s why, as we seek to build brotherhood, we must always remember that it is righteousness that is the cement or the glue that binds us together.

01:22:26:21 – 01:22:27:09
Speaker 1
No.

01:22:27:11 – 01:22:38:28
Speaker 3
We don’t allow nobody to come among us and suggest to us we commit sin and evil in the name of our aforementioned goals and objectives.

01:22:39:00 – 01:22:43:14
Unknown
All crazy due to Allah.

01:22:43:17 – 01:23:05:11
Speaker 3
We don’t carry weapons, not so much as a penknife. And our weapon is truth. And yet without any arms, without any guns or knives, the federal government has been more afraid of Louis Farrakhan, Elijah Muhammad, and the Nation of Islam than anyone else.

01:23:05:14 – 01:23:08:28
Unknown
All praise you to Allah.

01:23:09:01 – 01:23:41:07
Speaker 3
But look, look, look, y’all don’t got me excited I. But I gotta get back to the script. Look over and over again. You heard of Cointelpro in Hoover’s core Intel Pro documents? He always identified that he wanted to keep young people away from the civil rights and black power struggle. He said efforts of various groups to consolidate their forces or to recruit youthful adherents must be frustrating.

01:23:41:07 – 01:24:17:09
Speaker 3
And he says no opportunity should be missed to exploit to counter intelligence techniques, the organizational and personal conflicts of the leadership of the groups and where possible, and efforts should be made to capitalize upon existing conflicts between competing black nationalist organizations. Think over that brother and sister. He says that a final goal should be to prevent the long range growth of militant black nationalist organizations, especially among young people.

01:24:17:12 – 01:24:25:17
Speaker 3
Goals of this program are to prevent the growth of these groups among America’s youth. What groups was he talking about?

01:24:25:19 – 01:24:27:11
Speaker 1
Come on.

01:24:27:13 – 01:24:40:26
Speaker 3
Now. All of these was great groups. But you see the one highlighted in red. That’s the one that’s still strong and viable.

01:24:40:28 – 01:25:08:15
Speaker 3
Again our subject is turn, my young brothers and sisters, over to the Nation of Islam, who went on to say consideration should be given to preclude black rabble rousers, the leaders of these hate groups, from spreading their philosophy publicly or through the communications, media. So think about this in light of the ban against the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan in social media.

01:25:08:17 – 01:25:09:14
Speaker 2
Yeah.

01:25:09:16 – 01:25:37:23
Speaker 3
Now, every anybody that got anything to say, positive or negative, is free to express it online. But a man who has a known track record for the reformation and transformation of broken black men and women in America, is forbidden to have a social media account in his own name. So think over that. Just think about the spam you get.

01:25:37:25 – 01:26:03:23
Speaker 3
Yeah, like, my god, these kind of folk are on social media. All of the bots that are always trying to get you to buy something, whether it’s legal or illegal, moral or immoral, but they are free to do it. But a man who has had a salvific presence in the life of black people in America, viewed as a hero among oppressed people all over the world.

01:26:03:26 – 01:26:44:21
Speaker 3
No, don’t give Farrakhan access to communications media while and believe it or not, brother insisted. Even though most conversations about J. Edgar Hoover’s counterintelligence program revolve around what he did to the Panthers, Professor Matthias Gardell said this no research, however, has focused directly on the federal conspiracy against the Nation of Islam. This is all the more remarkable since the Nation of Islam outnumbered most, if not all, of the organizations mentioned above and was targeted prior to these.

01:26:44:24 – 01:27:11:03
Speaker 3
The FBI interest in the Nation of Islam is reflected in the Security Index, a listing of prominent dissidents dating from 1939. The largest category list is 673 members of the Nation of Islam, followed by only 476 communists, and this was during a time where publicly, the political leaders in America was saying Communist Russia was our number one enemy.

01:27:11:08 – 01:27:12:08
Speaker 1
Come on.

01:27:12:11 – 01:27:40:03
Speaker 3
But privately, they feared the spread of Islam among black people more than they feared Communist Russia. Plague over this, brother insisted in all of this, in spite of the fact that is well documented, that the nation is not a violent group of people, special Agent in charge in Cleveland, Ohio, told Mr. Hoover. Although the NOI preaches hatred of whites, which we don’t, they have never implemented this hatred by riot or planned violence.

01:27:40:05 – 01:28:07:13
Speaker 3
Professor Martha F Lee famously state in many ways, then the Nation of Islam, a case study of why and how a religious movement with a radical belief system did not engage in violence related to its doctrine. Its members waited in faith for a lot to destroy the forces that oppress them. Instead, it was law enforcement agencies that more actively fostered violence in hopes of destroying the nation of history.

01:28:07:19 – 01:28:10:17
Speaker 1
Lawrence Gordon, G.

01:28:10:19 – 01:28:20:09
Speaker 3
How do you want to destroy the nation? The and you know, we good for our people. That’s what it’s because they don’t want to see nothing good for you.

01:28:20:12 – 01:28:21:04
Speaker 1
Those who.

01:28:21:07 – 01:28:23:06
Speaker 3
Thrive and prosper.

01:28:23:08 – 01:28:24:00
Speaker 1
On the.

01:28:24:02 – 01:28:33:26
Speaker 3
Cause. It ain’t really about the nation. It’s about you. The time has come. Never forget the central message of the Nation of.

01:28:33:26 – 01:28:35:00
Speaker 1
Islam.

01:28:35:02 – 01:28:40:24
Speaker 3
That the time for our resurrection and rise has come.

01:28:40:26 – 01:28:41:28
Speaker 1
To you.

01:28:42:00 – 01:29:10:21
Speaker 3
This is the season what God is actively involved in. The resurrection of the downtrodden, the broken hearted, the dispossessed, the disenfranchized, the despised and rejected. This is the time for our rise. Oh, praises to our lives. But even though that’s the plan of God, Satan also has a plan.

01:29:10:23 – 01:29:11:19
Speaker 1
That’s what he said.

01:29:11:21 – 01:29:40:22
Speaker 3
Do you know that the leading youth culture phenomenon in the world is hip hop music? Right now? For those of you who don’t like hip hop, I don’t want you to tune me out at this portion of the message. Yeah, because quite frankly, I have very eclectic tastes in music personally, so I enjoy a little Teddy Pendergrass every now and again.

01:29:40:24 – 01:29:55:22
Speaker 3
But I like Drake, I like Kendrick Lamar, I like J. Cole too. So I don’t want you to just say, oh, that’s that old rap stuff. Because our subject is turn my young brothers and sisters over to the nation.

01:29:55:26 – 01:29:56:27
Speaker 1
Yeah.

01:29:56:29 – 01:30:25:16
Speaker 3
Well, if you’re a parent, you know that your influence over your own children is not strong. Like maybe your parents influence over. You were. So the youth aren’t necessarily listening to mom and dad. They ain’t necessarily listening to the school teacher or the preacher or the Emam or the rabbi. You know, young folk, by and large, are influenced by popular culture, right?

01:30:25:18 – 01:30:50:27
Speaker 3
What is my favorite rapper into? What is my favorite actor into? What is my favorite social media influencer? Into? Because whatever they are into, I want to be into that. So you should be conscientious about what takes place and youth culture, whether or not that’s your favorite form of artistic expression or not.

01:30:51:00 – 01:30:51:23
Speaker 1
Right?

01:30:51:26 – 01:31:28:21
Speaker 3
Do you know, beloved brother and sister, that in the early 1990s, the powers that be stumbled upon a very, frightening discovery? They saw that rap music, hip hop music, which was becoming more and more popular, had become infected by the ideas and teachings of a man they hated more than any other black leader in history. The Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad.

01:31:28:23 – 01:32:00:24
Speaker 3
Fascinating, fascinating, fascinating. Listen to what this article maintains, says Elijah Muhammad, the longtime leader of the Nation of Islam, is having a deep influence on rap music 15 years after his death. Those are their words, not mine, because I believe he’s alive and well. All praises due to a lot, but they continue with unprecedented directness. A number of new rappers are quoting Muhammad’s core dogma.

01:32:00:26 – 01:32:22:18
Speaker 3
Again, they misrepresent our teaching, but for the sake of preserving the quote, they say that white people are raised of devils and snakes, and that the African Americans are descended from the tribe of Shabazz and the original man created by a. They got a kind of right. But pay attention to the year. This is 1991.

01:32:22:20 – 01:32:23:14
Speaker 1
Right?

01:32:23:16 – 01:32:45:18
Speaker 3
The same time period where hip hop began to change. It ceased to be the organic artistic expression of young people coming out of New York and other impoverished neighborhoods around America. It became corporate sponsor. But what did the corp what kind of hip hop did the corporations want to sponsor?

01:32:45:21 – 01:32:46:21
Speaker 1
Come on. Right.

01:32:46:24 – 01:32:55:09
Speaker 3
So this is right around the time period with the first iteration of hip hop’s morphing of gangsta rap began.

01:32:55:12 – 01:32:56:17
Speaker 1
If you wanted.

01:32:56:20 – 01:33:11:02
Speaker 3
Because they said, we can’t allow this sweeping youth culture phenomenon to spread because it will simultaneously spread. Elijah Muhammad’s controversial idea.

01:33:11:05 – 01:33:11:29
Speaker 1
Right?

01:33:12:02 – 01:33:20:27
Speaker 3
So, yeah, I’m not ashamed to say that, you know, I teach lectures, I write books, I write.

01:33:20:27 – 01:33:22:19
Speaker 1
Articles.

01:33:22:22 – 01:33:29:13
Speaker 3
But people don’t read books and they don’t read articles. They don’t often listen to lecture.

01:33:29:15 – 01:33:31:00
Speaker 1
Oh, yes.

01:33:31:03 – 01:33:32:10
Speaker 3
But music.

01:33:32:12 – 01:33:35:10
Speaker 1
And art and commercialism.

01:33:35:12 – 01:34:00:21
Speaker 3
It transcends even when you want to erect a mental barrier to a message. Yeah. You know, I mean, sometimes I’m in a gym and I’m listening to beat Capture Me and like, whoa, those lyrics, I don’t like those lyrics, but the music is almost able to bypass the mental devices that I might erect in my own mind to even a toxic mess.

01:34:00:24 – 01:34:02:05
Speaker 1
Or, you know, I don’t know.

01:34:02:08 – 01:34:14:13
Speaker 3
See, because the way Allah created the human being and my sister is here, Doctor Sophia, she can correct me if I’m wrong, but the human body has what they call bio rhythms.

01:34:14:15 – 01:34:14:25
Speaker 1
Yeah.

01:34:15:01 – 01:34:19:06
Speaker 3
So your heart has a beat like the beat of a drum, right?

01:34:19:10 – 01:34:20:06
Speaker 1
That’s right.

01:34:20:08 – 01:34:24:25
Speaker 3
Your blood coursing through your veins produces a sound.

01:34:24:27 – 01:34:26:12
Speaker 1
Know?

01:34:26:14 – 01:34:30:12
Speaker 3
So you are musical in your maker.

01:34:30:15 – 01:34:31:19
Speaker 1
Right? Yes.

01:34:31:22 – 01:34:48:26
Speaker 3
And our Lord has said I have created you in the best of makes. That’s why frequently throughout the Judeo Christian and Islamic scriptures, you find that the chosen form for the Supreme Being is invariably the human being.

01:34:48:29 – 01:34:50:00
Speaker 1
Right?

01:34:50:03 – 01:34:55:22
Speaker 3
Because he said this is the best of makes, right? Yes, yes. Is there anything better than best?

01:34:55:24 – 01:34:56:26
Speaker 1
Oh no.

01:34:56:29 – 01:35:09:26
Speaker 3
I mean, there’s good there’s better. And if you from the black community is best is but is there anything better than death?

01:35:09:28 – 01:35:13:04
Speaker 1
So frequently.

01:35:13:06 – 01:35:40:26
Speaker 3
Frequently the Supreme Being is described as being in this the best of movie. All right. You know, cause they also identified that Elijah Muhammad as national representative was deeply immersed in hip hop culture. Yes. So this one says playing a substantial role in the genre is the Black Muslim group led by Minister Louis Farrakhan. The nation of Islam.

01:35:40:29 – 01:36:00:06
Speaker 3
The group preaches that whites are the root of all evil. They’re always trying to misrepresent what we teach. But I want to preserve the quote, as they said, that they have stripped blacks of their culture and that drugs, guns and aids of the ghetto are part of the white plot to support suppressed blacks. Again, they get it partially correct.

01:36:00:08 – 01:36:17:09
Speaker 3
But the point is, is that when they saw that you’re in my children lives, of course it just died having, you know, I was the youth of this day, the early 90s. But when they saw that we could come in here at mass number 12, Minister Rodney.

01:36:17:12 – 01:36:18:05
Speaker 1
Come on.

01:36:18:08 – 01:36:49:12
Speaker 3
Then we leave the month, we put our headphones on and we listened to our favorite rapper, and he’s echoing what we just heard come from Minister Farrakhan was in. That was a problem for the white power dropped. So they hurried to take a beautiful positive, natural, organic cultural expression and to make it a weapon and a tool against you and my liberation.

01:36:49:15 – 01:36:51:10
Speaker 1
That’s right.

01:36:51:12 – 01:37:19:24
Speaker 3
I was fascinated to read in the Sierra the back biographical material of Prophet Mohammed Salleh. He was salaam a peace be upon him, a very intriguing discovery. You know that part of the prophet’s work was that he united the various tribes in Arabia.

01:37:19:25 – 01:37:20:14
Speaker 1
That’s right.

01:37:20:14 – 01:37:54:21
Speaker 3
And according to author Betty Kaelin in her book, Muhammad the Messenger of God, listen to this. She says. One day a Jewish businessman passed by a group of young Muslims laughing together and could hardly believe his eyes. They were all in hydrogen, behaving like friends. Such a short time back they had been at one another’s throats, dragging all Madina, Jews and Arabs alike into a frenzy of killing.

01:37:54:23 – 01:38:20:28
Speaker 3
It gave this man to wonder if something much worse might not happen to Jews. If Arabs should cease to squabble. He sent out young Jews into the streets to remind the Oz and the cause of their old bitterness wherever they was seen consorting, and to start whatever other trouble they could.

01:38:21:01 – 01:38:22:12
Speaker 1
Get.

01:38:22:15 – 01:38:23:22
Speaker 3
As fascinating is.

01:38:23:24 – 01:38:26:15
Speaker 1
In the.

01:38:26:17 – 01:38:40:19
Speaker 3
See, because the prophet, peace be upon him. He didn’t just help the conflicting tribes resolve their conflicts, but he caused them to begin to see one another as brothers.

01:38:40:20 – 01:38:43:04
Speaker 1
Right beyond the conflict.

01:38:43:07 – 01:39:04:21
Speaker 3
But certain members of the Jewish community of that day saw the unity of the people under Muhammad’s influence as a problem, and then they rushed out to remind them of their old conflicts, their old bitterness.

01:39:04:23 – 01:39:25:00
Speaker 3
Any allusion to any persons living a dead one is not a coincidence, And why has youth culture settled upon during this great time of global awakening to promote a beef?

01:39:25:02 – 01:39:26:05
Speaker 1
I’m on TV.

01:39:26:07 – 01:40:02:00
Speaker 3
Seemingly coming out of nowhere, timed to coincide with the rise of student activists all over America protesting the genocide in Gaza. So, in other words, as young people are awakening to see the genocide take place in Gaza, Israel versus I mean, the Israelis versus the Palestinians, somebody popped up and said, no, don’t pay attention to that. Pay attention to Drake versus Kendrick Lamar.

01:40:02:02 – 01:40:03:25
Speaker 1
Rebel.

01:40:03:27 – 01:40:07:15
Speaker 3
Now, I don’t have to tell you, black folk don’t control black music, do I?

01:40:07:18 – 01:40:08:17
Speaker 1
That’s right.

01:40:08:19 – 01:40:09:21
Speaker 3
We should.

01:40:09:23 – 01:40:10:14
Speaker 1
Respect.

01:40:10:16 – 01:40:42:20
Speaker 3
But we don’t. We are not in control of those artists who become popular in widely distributed and well known. We are not the gatekeepers on the business side of things. They have certain powerful white men, most of whom are members of the Jewish community, who control black music. Why are they so afraid of you or my children? Because again, they know that a time has come for you and I to rise into rulership.

01:40:42:22 – 01:41:10:03
Speaker 3
Do you know, beloved brother and sister? When I four parents left the plantations back in at the end of the Civil War, our ancestors think about this. They had been slaves on plantations. They knew that for black people to live among white people was for black people to live underneath white people. Rightly so. They weren’t seeking integration back to the plantation life.

01:41:10:05 – 01:41:26:07
Speaker 3
They left and built some 88 to 120 black towns and cities, and then angered the white former plantation owners. They felt that reconstruction was the sign of black rulership.

01:41:26:12 – 01:41:27:11
Speaker 1
Yes.

01:41:27:13 – 01:41:42:25
Speaker 3
So they put in a Harper’s Weekly this horrible cartoon, it says, in self-defense, southern chivalry. The caption reads, if I hadn’t killed you, you would have growed up to rule me pretty good.

01:41:44:06 – 01:41:50:12
Speaker 3
This is a old southern cracker that looked at a black infant.

01:41:50:14 – 01:41:51:09
Speaker 1
In chains.

01:41:51:11 – 01:42:08:20
Speaker 3
And took his life because he was afraid that what black people were achieving during reconstruction was the sign the blacks was sending to rulership in America. And he wasn’t wrong.

01:42:08:21 – 01:42:10:10
Speaker 1
No, sir. Sir.

01:42:10:12 – 01:42:18:28
Speaker 3
So because, you know, they said that on the plantation, it was a strange thing to see a white man even holding a hammer.

01:42:19:00 – 01:42:19:25
Speaker 1
That’s right.

01:42:19:27 – 01:42:53:04
Speaker 3
Mean those big, beautiful plantation homes were built by the hands and the ingenuity and the skill and the artisanship of slave money. And so when we left the plantation, we took our skills with us. That’s right. We took our labor with us. And we left the master and his family to fend for themselves. And they found it difficult to survive without.

01:42:53:04 – 01:42:55:17
Speaker 1
Us real tall.

01:42:55:19 – 01:43:30:09
Speaker 3
And so it was as a reaction to our own self help that the Ku Klux Klan was born, that the season of lynching was born first, they began to kill us. Simply because we left them alone to play brother and built for ourselves. According to Harper’s weak explanation, this image emphatically condemns the brutal racism in some white Southerners against blacks.

01:43:30:11 – 01:44:12:05
Speaker 3
The white man has killed the black child in his plea of self-defense, exemplifies the perspective among southern whites that reconstruction had led to black rule. The cartoon appeared just a few weeks before the presidential campaign. Now, you know, the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan has talked about their presidential campaign because the presidential campaign between Rutherford B Hayes and Samuel Tilden produced the compromise of 1877 that they called the Great Betrayal of the Negro because what took place at that time was that in order for Rutherford be Hayes to become the president, they were neck and neck.

01:44:12:05 – 01:44:29:12
Speaker 3
Hayes and Tilden Hayes was the man of the North. Tilden was the man for the South. And the North said, well, if you allow our man to win, we will remove all of the federal troops protecting free black people in the South. And you can basically we’ll turn our back on black folk.

01:44:29:14 – 01:44:30:03
Speaker 1
You can do to.

01:44:30:03 – 01:44:31:05
Speaker 3
Them what you want to do to.

01:44:31:05 – 01:44:32:07
Speaker 1
Them.

01:44:32:10 – 01:44:35:09
Speaker 3
This ended reconstruction.

01:44:35:11 – 01:44:36:11
Speaker 2
See, you know a little.

01:44:36:11 – 01:44:58:05
Speaker 3
Bit about Black Wall Street. You know, a little bit about Rosewood brother and sister. That’s just the tip of the iceberg. Yes, I’m talking about 60. It’s depending upon the estimate. You read 80 or 100 independent black townships and cities. Even Black Wall Street was just a section of Tulsa.

01:44:58:07 – 01:44:59:17
Speaker 1
Right.

01:44:59:20 – 01:45:12:00
Speaker 3
So we had the same mind at that time that the honorable Elijah Muhammad and Minister Farrakhan are laboring to give to us today. Y’all all right?

01:45:12:03 – 01:45:16:10
Speaker 3
Reverend.

01:45:16:12 – 01:45:51:22
Speaker 3
The effects of Satan’s sabotage. What happened to black youth when they destroyed the black movement? Sonia Sanchez is quoted in an excellent book called City of Quartz. She says the drug taking, apathetic young black people we bemoan today are the result of our failure to protect and cherish the Black Panthers during the 60s. Well, when you say the Panthers, you’re saying the nation was strong.

01:45:51:24 – 01:45:53:23
Speaker 3
Come on, as they were our grandchildren.

01:45:53:29 – 01:45:56:13
Speaker 1
You said.

01:45:56:16 – 01:46:02:16
Speaker 3
They were the children of Malcolm, a son of the Honorable Elijah Muhammad, albeit a wayward son, a son.

01:46:02:21 – 01:46:05:03
Speaker 1
Come on, come on.

01:46:05:05 – 01:46:09:22
Speaker 3
They even adopted the Ten-Point program from the Muslim program.

01:46:09:27 – 01:46:11:06
Speaker 1
That’s right.

01:46:11:08 – 01:46:17:14
Speaker 3
If you talk to the founders, they would tell you we was inspired by the Black Muslims. We just didn’t want the religious part.

01:46:17:19 – 01:46:19:15
Speaker 1
Come on, come on.

01:46:19:17 – 01:46:50:11
Speaker 3
But her point helps us to see that that all, truism from the world of philosophy is appropriate here. Nature hates a vacuum. Wherever you remove something, nature will move to fill it with something else. So when you destroy the Panthers, when you work to destroy the nation and all of the other strong black organizations under Cointelpro, you left a vacuum in the black community.

01:46:50:11 – 01:46:51:16
Speaker 1
Yeah, yeah. That’s right.

01:46:51:19 – 01:47:17:16
Speaker 3
And she’s in this book specifically talks about what took place in Los Angeles. She says that the street gangs, this is an important to help us understand sociology. She said the earliest repeated references to a gang problem in the black community press, moreover, deal with gangs of white youth who terrorize black residents along the frontiers of the South with expanding Central Avenue ghetto.

01:47:17:18 – 01:47:50:23
Speaker 3
Indeed, from these newspaper accounts and recollections of old timers, it seems probable that the first generation of black street gangs emerged as a defensive response to white violence in the schools and streets during the late 40 distillation. And what they’re saying the first black gangs organized as a response to white youth who were terrorizing black neighborhoods, who had moved to large cities during the Great Migration.

01:47:50:25 – 01:47:52:19
Speaker 1
Boom, take you to.

01:47:52:21 – 01:47:56:21
Speaker 3
See in the Nation of Islam. We’re not those who say we need to just get rid of the.

01:47:56:21 – 01:47:58:26
Speaker 1
Gang right.

01:47:58:29 – 01:48:21:19
Speaker 3
Now. You have conscientious community stakeholders that feel that way, but they misunderstand sociology. See, America is a nation of immigrants. Even though we didn’t immigrate over here, we were brought over here against our will. But it’s common in the immigrant experience. You know, a lot says in the Koran, many of the maintainers and protectors of women’s.

01:48:21:21 – 01:48:23:02
Speaker 1
Rights, because.

01:48:23:04 – 01:48:54:22
Speaker 3
So many immigrant groups came to America, the men and boys organized to protect the women and children and whatever property they acquired because they went in a strange land among strange people. They didn’t speak the language, so they rose to protect and defend themselves. And so over time, every ethnic group in America has some so-called gang apparatus, whether it was the Asian Triads, the Italy Mafia, even the Jewish gangs, the Irish gangs.

01:48:54:27 – 01:49:11:13
Speaker 3
But at a certain point, those street level assemblies of men evolved out of it as their people became more prosperous and were able to assimilate into American society. The Irish famously went into law enforcement, right?

01:49:11:14 – 01:49:12:25
Speaker 1
That’s right. Right.

01:49:12:28 – 01:49:53:15
Speaker 3
You could be a black Muslim police officer if you get killed in the line of duty. The bagpipes coming out, he said. I didn’t know the brother was Irish. No, he was an Irish. But that’s the lasting influence of the Irish on law enforcement in America today. In a nation of Islam, we love the movie The Godfather. And you know, they Italians in that movie, Brother captain, that was, organized crime and, a lot of good principles in that movie series, but we remember them.

01:49:53:15 – 01:50:38:11
Speaker 3
Michael died trying to take the family out of the business, the illicit business that his father started. Because when his father immigrated here, they didn’t have legitimate business for immigrants. Know so many of the Italians went into casinos and gaming. The Jews went into finance and other areas. But when it came to black street organization, you know, the government determined never to allow black street gangs to evolve out of that primitive level of organization because to help prosecute a war in Central America, black street organizations were chosen to carry, sell and distribute illegal narcotics goods.

01:50:38:13 – 01:51:12:15
Speaker 3
And once you brought in cocaine and crack for the Bloods and the Crips on the West Coast to distribute it, retarded the evolutionary development out of a criminal existence of black street organization. So in a nation, we say we don’t need to get rid of the gangs, we need to redirect them. We need to guide them. We need to give them the Word of God that they might realize that as young, capable men, the Scripture says, older men and women for counsel, younger men and women for war.

01:51:12:17 – 01:51:13:15
Speaker 1
That’s.

01:51:13:18 – 01:51:30:24
Speaker 3
And do you know that the government saw that the youth were coming under the influence of the Muslims, South central gang youth coming under the influence of the Muslims, and long distance charisma of Malcolm X, began to reflect the generational awakening of black power.

01:51:30:26 – 01:51:32:21
Speaker 1
The words spoken so.

01:51:32:23 – 01:52:15:07
Speaker 3
So they saw that in the neighborhoods, even though Hoover was working against us, the young people were becoming politicized, saying, do you know right now that there is a controversy over the youth of America and their refusal to support Israel, like their parents generation? About 3 or 4 months ago, they heard the ADL president, Jonathan Greenblatt, on a conference call, and they leaked it, and he was talking about it on a conference call to his fellow Confederates.

01:52:15:10 – 01:52:18:10
Speaker 3
He said, you know, we’ve been fighting the wrong fight.

01:52:19:08 – 01:52:35:25
Speaker 3
We’ve been involved in a left wing, right wing fight, but the real fight is over us young, he said. We have a youth problem. He said. The young generation of Americans, they don’t support Israel like their father’s generation did. Then he said, we have a tock problem.

01:52:36:02 – 01:52:37:27
Speaker 1
They don’t.

01:52:38:00 – 01:52:49:12
Speaker 3
And that’s fascinating, because then three months later, the US Congress began to say, you know, we have a tick tock problem, right? See, why are you obsessed with tick tock.

01:52:49:15 – 01:52:50:20
Speaker 2
Tick tock?

01:52:50:20 – 01:52:54:00
Speaker 3
You see, because it’s not controlled by American.

01:52:54:05 – 01:52:55:06
Speaker 1
That’s right.

01:52:55:08 – 01:53:05:07
Speaker 3
It’s a popular social media platform that has given exposure in graphic detail to the genocide. Taking place in.

01:53:05:08 – 01:53:06:18
Speaker 1
Science, right?

01:53:06:20 – 01:53:36:27
Speaker 3
Where you have people that literally are going live from a war zone. Once upon a time, we had to subsist Brother Jiron on ABC, CBS and NBC to give us the official government narrative about what’s taking place overseas. But now the general public is able to bypass that censored presentation of news and get it raw and unfiltered, uncensored.

01:53:37:00 – 01:53:45:15
Speaker 3
And the youth of America have awakened to say, you’re not going to be supporting genocide. American government in our name.

01:53:45:18 – 01:53:46:20
Speaker 1
You are going.

01:53:46:22 – 01:53:48:29
Speaker 3
And so the college campuses are on.

01:53:48:29 – 01:53:51:03
Speaker 1
Fire, right?

01:53:51:05 – 01:54:16:08
Speaker 3
Because they don’t want the young to become politically astute. They don’t want you thinking above the navel. So they make hip hop. In popular culture. Hypersexualized I don’t hate I hate to date myself, but when I was a younger man, they had artists like Queen Latifah.

01:54:16:10 – 01:54:17:10
Speaker 1
all right, come on.

01:54:17:13 – 01:54:41:29
Speaker 3
They had artists in hip hop that were modestly attired. They were under the influence of the Muslims, no doubt. But now in hip hop, they give you a hypersexualized image. Artists like sexy Red and Suki, Hana, Nicki Minaj. They have presented the black woman in such a grotesque image because they again don’t want us thinking above the navel.

01:54:42:02 – 01:54:44:08
Speaker 1
Right? Right. See.

01:54:44:10 – 01:55:01:13
Speaker 3
They want us focus on a low level living experience piece. Because as long as you and I have our minds in the gutter, we can’t pause to think and reflect what we must do to change the world.

01:55:01:15 – 01:55:09:23
Speaker 1
So I don’t know why crazy people love.

01:55:09:25 – 01:55:36:03
Speaker 3
In an excellent documentary called bastards of the party, this documentary is one HBO did a few years ago. If you can watch it, you should watch it. So a great breakdown of what they did to rob the black community of black organizations that gave rise to the violence of street organizations. Now, I want to go spiritual for a moment.

01:55:36:03 – 01:55:37:07
Speaker 3
If y’all don’t mind.

01:55:37:10 – 01:55:39:18
Speaker 1
It’s up me to my good.

01:55:39:20 – 01:55:52:10
Speaker 3
Because yeah, because not only are our young people the best generation, but they are a messianic generation.

01:55:52:11 – 01:55:54:04
Speaker 1
Yeah.

01:55:54:06 – 01:56:05:28
Speaker 3
Do you know that the Abrahamic faiths, Judaism, Christianity and Islam all maintain a belief in an expectation of Messiah?

01:56:06:00 – 01:56:07:23
Speaker 1
Yeah, I so.

01:56:07:25 – 01:56:51:14
Speaker 3
And that’s about as far as they go in agreement because who is the Messiah, who the Messiah will come to when he is to come? Is a lot of controversy over that. But the Honorable Elijah Muhammad said this that I always love as one of my favorite quotes, he says, the white man of America is well informed through his scientists and scholars who are paid just for studying the problems of prophecy and especially the future destruction of America, which he knows is fast becoming his greatest mental burden and physical strain at the present time is how to prevent the spread of Islam among his servitude.

01:56:51:14 – 01:57:20:03
Speaker 3
Slaves in these last days. You think because they don’t come out on the 6:00 news quoting Matthew, Mark, Luke and John that they don’t have people behind the scenes studying prophecy? And then he says they have people that they pay just for studying the problems of prophecy. Notice the use of language. And who would the fulfillment of prophecy be a problem for, right?

01:57:20:05 – 01:57:26:27
Speaker 3
Wouldn’t be a problem for the righteous. Prophecy is only a problem for the wicked.

01:57:27:00 – 01:57:28:10
Speaker 1
Yeah.

01:57:28:13 – 01:58:07:21
Speaker 3
Now again, I was subject to turn my young brothers and sisters over to the Nation of Islam, see the youth represent a generation whose coming of age is meant to bring in a new world. That’s right, that’s right. Believe it or not, as we work in labor, Minister Rodney, in the student ministers of the nation, we labored to get our community to see that we are the people to whom the Messiah would come from.

01:58:07:27 – 01:58:08:19
Speaker 1
Come on.

01:58:08:21 – 01:58:12:23
Speaker 3
But once upon a time, there was not a hard sell, brother Minister.

01:58:12:25 – 01:58:13:15
Speaker 1
Right.

01:58:13:18 – 01:58:37:18
Speaker 3
You look at the movie The Autobiography of Miss Jane Pittman, Cicely Tyson, who played the great role of Miss Jane Pittman, actual cousin of the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan. You should watch that movie. All praises to Allah says anytime a child is born, the old people look in his face and ask him if he’s the one.

01:58:37:21 – 01:58:38:22
Speaker 1
That go in.

01:58:38:25 – 01:58:55:11
Speaker 3
There was a common belief among us, so that our help and our deliverance was not going to come from Washington DC, but it would be born from the womb of one of our women.

01:58:56:19 – 01:59:31:14
Speaker 3
According to modern scholarship on the idea of a messiah, professor, you shall feel has written, what has to be clarified and appreciated is that the Bible presents us not only with an individual Messiah, but also essentially a messiah collective. The Messiah ship is shared. The nation Messiah, the nation of Islam. I mean, the nation Messiah would have to be singular among the nations set apart for the service and benefit of all peoples, and as a mediator between God and mankind.

01:59:31:19 – 02:00:10:13
Speaker 3
Notice it. Don’t say nothing about committing genocide. Right? Because, you know, there’s a certain claimant today that they are the people to whom the Messiah is to come. They are God’s chosen people, but they busy committing genocide right about now, right, professor? Showing fear continues. The messianic requires us to read and study the books of Moses with a new appreciation and insight, not as something relating to a past experience which has been superseded, but as something of present and future relevant to that ideal world economy, which would come to be expressed as the Kingdom or rule of God.

02:00:10:13 – 02:00:38:01
Speaker 3
In other words, the people whom the Bible calls the children of Israel who were in bondage for 400 years, oppressed and destroyed their boy babies, conspired against their female folk, destroyed their names, changed given the king’s drink and the king’s meat. Come on from that people. God would build a kingdom. You all praises due to Allah.

02:00:38:03 – 02:00:38:26
Speaker 1
He turned to.

02:00:38:26 – 02:00:57:16
Speaker 3
Him. Now again, we will never expect a new Messiah to float from a cloud or come from Washington. No, sir. Our Messiah is to be born again. And that’s why the woman is so important.

02:00:57:18 – 02:01:18:14
Speaker 3
See, I don’t want to. I don’t want you to misunderstand. Certainly you have an existential value. You valuable all by yourself. But the woman has a value in prophecy that writing.

02:01:18:16 – 02:01:20:10
Speaker 1
Good teacher.

02:01:20:13 – 02:01:33:12
Speaker 3
They call her the Messiah in the Bible and in the Jewish tradition, as the desire of women.

02:01:33:15 – 02:02:13:24
Speaker 3
Why is he called the desire of women? He’s called the desire of women because every young Jewish girl is raised to believe that if she is modest and virtuous and pleasing in the eyes of God, God may choose her to give birth to the Messiah who the man who would deliver her. People who have ignored. That that kind of is in stark contrast to the kind of treatment that they treat black women with, don’t you think?

02:02:13:26 – 02:02:15:09
Speaker 1
Right.

02:02:15:12 – 02:02:20:13
Speaker 3
Because as Brother Malcolm used to say, the most disrespected person in America is the black woman.

02:02:20:18 – 02:02:22:07
Speaker 1
Right, right, right.

02:02:22:09 – 02:02:46:21
Speaker 3
But it is from your womb, sister, that the Messiah is born in the Jewish community. It is said that it was the hope of every Jewish mother, that her child might be the key to Israel’s future. With the pain of labor came the comforting thought. Maybe my child will fulfill God’s promise to the nation. Maybe my boy.

02:02:46:24 – 02:02:48:02
Speaker 1
Will be.

02:02:48:04 – 02:03:15:15
Speaker 3
The Messiah. Moreover, in Jewish culture, it was every Orthodox Jewish handmaidens desire to be the mother of the Messiah. This goes back to Genesis three and 15, where it is clearly stated that the promised Messiah would come from the seed of a woman. It is for this reason that there is a belief that the Jewishness of a person depends on his or her mother being Jewish.

02:03:15:17 – 02:03:45:28
Speaker 3
See, all of this makes it all the more curious why the powerful Jewish men choose to present to the world and unrighteous image of black women, right? The same Jewish men that control black music and put out these temptress images of our women as the leading rap artists, they go home and they send their own Jewish daughters to synagogue and shool to learn that one day they’re going to be the mother of the Messiah.

02:03:46:01 – 02:03:46:18
Speaker 1
Come on.

02:03:46:20 – 02:03:54:29
Speaker 3
Yeah. No, brother and sister. See, the minister coined the term called socially engineered savagery.

02:03:55:00 – 02:03:57:22
Speaker 1
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

02:03:57:25 – 02:04:20:16
Speaker 3
Socially engineered savagery. No mistake about it. Many of our young brothers and sisters are involved in savage behavior from. But is that an organic development? Is that consistent with who we are by nature? I say no, I say hell.

02:04:20:16 – 02:04:22:24
Speaker 1
No.

02:04:22:26 – 02:04:54:14
Speaker 3
But it is by design. You see, never forget that part and parcel to our oppression was not just the power dynamic of owning us and controlling us, but it was the simultaneous development of immoral practices among us. In other words, plantation owners understood that we had that God gene come on, and that our strength is in our righteousness.

02:04:54:17 – 02:05:19:03
Speaker 3
So for the purpose of weakening us to be better, easily control, they made us an immoral savage. Acting people see a lot. James writes about it in his book The Black Jacobins, and they took great pains that the Negro should remain the brute beast. They wanted him to be the safety of the whites demands that we keep the Negroes in the most profound ignorance.

02:05:19:06 – 02:05:29:22
Speaker 3
I have reached the stage of believing firmly that one must treat Negroes as one treats beast. Wow! Look at that. Think over there.

02:05:30:13 – 02:05:46:06
Speaker 3
That those in power feel that the key to their safety is that you and I remain savage, acting this. So you’ve heard many times the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan cite hidden Ribery.

02:05:46:09 – 02:05:47:00
Speaker 2
Yes.

02:05:47:03 – 02:06:11:06
Speaker 3
Who was one of the Virginia state legislators on the floor of the House of Delegates in Virginia in the immediate aftermath of Nat Turner’s rebellion. Fascinating. And is that the plantation owners who were on the floor of the Virginia House of delegates, they were determining how would they react to what Nat Turner and his cohorts did? I mean, these were their slave.

02:06:11:08 – 02:06:36:03
Speaker 3
They had armed themselves and started killing their masters. But Henry Berry and the other state legislators, they weren’t concerned that Nat Turner had access to arms or weapons. They were concerned that Nat Turner had been given knowledge and wisdom. So does that sound like today? Come on, they don’t care if you got guns in the hood. Brother and.

02:06:36:03 – 02:06:36:24
Speaker 1
Sister.

02:06:36:26 – 02:06:43:04
Speaker 3
Oh, so guns is acceptable. But the message of Minister Farrakhan is not.

02:06:43:06 – 02:06:44:07
Speaker 1
Look at it.

02:06:44:09 – 02:07:08:18
Speaker 3
Oh, and then look at what? Look at the language of Mr. Berry. He said, we have, as far as possible, closed every avenue by which light, light, light. See, when a powerful man refers to knowledge is light. He ain’t talking about the three hours reading, writing and arithmetic.

02:07:08:21 – 02:07:10:21
Speaker 1
Illuminating secret all you.

02:07:10:23 – 02:07:15:04
Speaker 3
See, because Nat Turner’s rebellion was inspired by the Word of.

02:07:15:04 – 02:07:16:15
Speaker 1
God, right? Come on.

02:07:16:19 – 02:07:20:02
Speaker 3
You can think what you want to think about the right Reverend Nathaniel Turner.

02:07:20:06 – 02:07:20:24
Speaker 1
Come on now.

02:07:20:26 – 02:07:23:00
Speaker 3
But in the black community, he’s a hero.

02:07:23:01 – 02:07:25:10
Speaker 1
Yes, sir. Yes, sir.

02:07:25:12 – 02:07:59:23
Speaker 3
So he and Ribera said we’ve closed every avenue by which light might enter their mind. Then he said, but we need to go one step further. We’ve got to destroy their capacity to see the light. In other words, we’ve erected a barricade to light coming to them. But if light just happens to break through the barrier, we need to make them so mentally incapacitated that they could be in the presence of light and wouldn’t even know that it is light.

02:07:59:25 – 02:08:02:17
Speaker 1
Right? Jesus Christ, he he.

02:08:02:20 – 02:08:34:06
Speaker 3
He said, then, then they would be on the level of the beasts of the field, and we would be safe. Teach one of the most powerful quotes ever utter in black history, because you think they don’t mind you getting a good education and being a nice, good black brother, black sister. Now, I had to do my experiment, Minister.

02:08:34:06 – 02:08:35:19
Speaker 3
Right? Not do it in many cities.

02:08:35:19 – 02:08:37:05
Speaker 1
All right, come on.

02:08:37:07 – 02:09:05:03
Speaker 3
I want to ask you all a question. Take a little quick poll. Have you ever been maybe in a doctor’s office, waiting room, on a plane or a train or bus or in a cab when some public space and you were reading a newspaper book or magazine and somehow a random white person that you don’t know from Adam finds a way to start a conversation with you by asking you, hey, what you got there?

02:09:05:03 – 02:09:08:21
Speaker 3
What are you reading? Has that ever happened to you? Raise your hand if it’s ever.

02:09:08:23 – 02:09:13:20
Speaker 1
Oh my brother. Come on.

02:09:13:22 – 02:09:27:25
Speaker 3
So I’m seeing this is a universal phenomenon. I’m just here to tell you I’ve done it in New York. I’ve done it in Memphis. I did it in Los Sanders. Everywhere I go, every black person, almost to a man or woman, has had that experience.

02:09:27:27 – 02:09:28:27
Speaker 1
That’s right.

02:09:28:29 – 02:09:35:10
Speaker 3
So, wow. White folk concerned about what you read.

02:09:35:12 – 02:09:38:21
Speaker 3
Is like an utter mass, like a reflex.

02:09:38:23 – 02:09:39:29
Speaker 1
That says you.

02:09:40:02 – 02:10:12:03
Speaker 3
Because they are sentinels on watch to monitor whether or not light is entering into your life. One. All praise be to him. I do you know that a few years ago in Central and South America, they had a breast feeding campaign and the United States threatened the Central American company, countries with sanctions if they had a breast feeding campaign.

02:10:12:03 – 02:10:17:29
Speaker 3
You can’t believe that problem. So since you don’t believe me, I had to prove a t.

02:10:18:02 – 02:10:19:03
Speaker 1
Okay.

02:10:19:06 – 02:10:54:01
Speaker 3
So it’s good to have receipts. This is extraordinary. Says opposition to breast feeding resolution by the United States stuns world health officials. The article says a resolution to encourage breast feeding, which everybody knows is the best for babies, was expected to be approved quickly and easily by the hundreds of government delegates who gathered this spring in Geneva for the United Nations affiliated World Health Assembly.

02:10:54:03 – 02:11:32:06
Speaker 3
Based on decades of research, the resolution says that Mother’s milk is healthiest for children, and countries should strive to limit the inactive or misleading marketing of breast milk substitutes. Then the United States delegation, embracing the interests of infant formula manufacturer up ended the deliberations. Look at this. Brother and sister says the Americans were blunt. If Ecuador refused to drop the resolution, Washington would unleash punishing trade measures and withdraw crucial military aid.

02:11:32:09 – 02:12:08:04
Speaker 3
The Ecuadorian government quickly acquiesced, as, in other words, they didn’t want no smoke, says. We were shocked because we didn’t understand how such a small matter like breastfeeding could provoke such a dramatic response, said the Ecuadorian official, who asked not to be identified because she was afraid of losing her job. Hey, do you know that the origin of the messianic expectation goes all the way back to Genesis.

02:12:08:07 – 02:12:09:17
Speaker 1
Right?

02:12:09:19 – 02:12:39:06
Speaker 3
It’s called among religious scholars the proto Evangelion or the first gospel, is the promise of God to Eve that her seed would bruise. Some of the older translations say crush the head of the serpent, and the serpent would bruise his heel. Religious scholars say this is the beginning of the expectation of a messiah.

02:12:39:13 – 02:12:40:29
Speaker 1
Yeah.

02:12:41:01 – 02:13:08:03
Speaker 3
See, sisters, you know, because you learned in your wonderful MGT class the value of mother’s milk. Yes, is food for the baby, but the baby also gets mother’s immunity passed on to him. And and the chemical energy of mother’s mind and thinking her values, her hopes and her desires are in the milk.

02:13:08:06 – 02:13:09:07
Speaker 1
Okay.

02:13:09:09 – 02:13:27:04
Speaker 3
So the Messiah is a seed of yearning. The Messiah comes to birth as an embodiment of the hopes of an oppressed people for deliverance. But the scriptures say he is the child of his mother.

02:13:27:06 – 02:13:29:00
Speaker 1
Sweetheart. Come on.

02:13:29:03 – 02:13:51:28
Speaker 3
And he comes to birth, gaining that generational history in the milk from her breast. So, America, not only do they not want a black Messiah, they don’t want a Mexican Messiah, right? They don’t want a Brazilian Messiah. They don’t want a messiah being born in Ecuador.

02:13:52:01 – 02:13:52:16
Speaker 1
Right?

02:13:52:18 – 02:13:59:22
Speaker 3
Because if you’re in power, you know, in order to remain in power, you got to always be on watch.

02:13:59:24 – 02:14:00:14
Speaker 1
Yeah.

02:14:00:17 – 02:14:11:09
Speaker 3
For one coming up. Nature is destined to produce sin. This is why both Pharaoh and Herod had the same mind in the Bible. And they, thousands of years apart.

02:14:11:14 – 02:14:13:00
Speaker 1
Easy.

02:14:13:02 – 02:14:16:13
Speaker 3
Kill the boy. Babies. Yeah. Kill the boy.

02:14:16:13 – 02:14:19:03
Speaker 1
Be the children. That’s right.

02:14:19:05 – 02:14:26:17
Speaker 3
And I respectfully submit that same mind is at work today. Y’all all right?

02:14:26:19 – 02:14:29:22
Speaker 1
Yes, sir. Ancient pharaoh.

02:14:29:24 – 02:14:38:25
Speaker 3
I don’t mean to be up here drinking in front of y’all, but I had a headquarters week, and I’m about to overcome it, but I’m sipping a little bit of water. Helps me to.

02:14:38:27 – 02:14:39:27
Speaker 1
Clear.

02:14:40:00 – 02:14:56:16
Speaker 3
My throat. Well. How absurd it is. Turn my young brothers and sisters over to the Nation of Islam. Yeah. The serpent produce a poison.

02:14:59:00 – 02:15:22:26
Speaker 3
The Book of Revelations calls the serpent the world serpent that had to see the whole world. Well, if you get bitten by a serpent and he has poison, you need an antidote, right? The a lie has given to us an antidote. When we in the Nation of Islam.

02:15:23:02 – 02:15:25:00
Speaker 1
Come to.

02:15:25:02 – 02:16:07:04
Speaker 3
As why, after 93 years, we still here facing overwhelming opposition. We still hear. As you can’t kill an idea whose time has come. And a lie won’t allow you to totally destroy that which he has planted. Do you know that former President Lyndon Baines Johnson. He did a commencement speech at Howard University, and he made a startling admission that when you read this, this is not some black nationalist saying.

02:16:07:04 – 02:16:08:22
Speaker 1
It’s here.

02:16:08:25 – 02:16:20:00
Speaker 3
Is the president of the United States, he said, perhaps most important is influence radiating to every part of life is the breakdown of the Negro family structure.

02:16:20:02 – 02:16:20:24
Speaker 1
Yeah.

02:16:20:26 – 02:16:50:06
Speaker 3
For this, most of all, white America must accept responsibility. It flows from centuries of oppression and persecution of the Negro man. It flows from the long years of degradation and discrimination which have attacked his dignity and assaulted his ability to produce for his family. This, too, is not pleasant to look upon, but it must be faced by those who are serious.

02:16:50:06 – 02:17:01:28
Speaker 3
Interest is to improve the life of all Americans while. So from the office of the presidency and in mission of what America did to destroy black men.

02:17:02:00 – 02:17:03:18
Speaker 1
Yeah, yeah.

02:17:03:20 – 02:17:15:23
Speaker 3
So thanks be to Allah that he came and he established what they called the Fruit of Islam class.

02:17:15:25 – 02:17:20:11
Speaker 3
C this is the class to undo what President Johnson was talking about.

02:17:20:14 – 02:17:21:12
Speaker 1
Right?

02:17:21:14 – 02:17:51:08
Speaker 3
This is the class that Allah establish to heal our brokenness is meant to restore us as the kind of men that the Koran describes here. So they put them to flight, by Allah’s permission. And David slew Goliath in a like gave him kingdom and wisdom, and taught him of what he pleased. And were it not for our laws repelling some men, but others, the earth would certainly be in a state of disorder.

02:17:51:15 – 02:17:55:25
Speaker 3
But our law is full of grace to the world’s.

02:17:55:27 – 02:17:56:08
Speaker 1
And, you.

02:17:56:08 – 02:18:25:14
Speaker 3
Know, over the years they talk about the Muslim brothers in the nation. Baltimore American rule. Once Mr. Muhammad’s worst critics, it meant the brothers in the FOIA are the most courteous mannerly, neat, clean, intelligent, industrious, as well as militant workers that they’ve ever met. It is a known fact the Muslim brother is never out of work, because even Jews and Christians were ever hired.

02:18:25:14 – 02:18:34:26
Speaker 3
Him, knowing that he won’t get drunk, never be rude, will always be on time and give them a fair amount of labor for his wage.

02:18:34:29 – 02:18:41:05
Unknown
Come on, y’all all right. Thank you, thank you.

02:18:41:08 – 02:18:58:05
Speaker 3
Well, not only did America come on, we did work to destroy the black man. You should sometimes read about what our sisters went through in slavery. This is heartbreaking.

02:18:59:15 – 02:19:05:05
Speaker 3
But is necessary for us to never lose sensitivity to that pain.

02:19:05:08 – 02:19:07:16
Speaker 1
Right.

02:19:07:18 – 02:19:45:08
Speaker 3
See, being in touch with pain sometimes is necessary to have compassion. And one of the things that our young people have been deprived of is a knowledge of what our people have suffered, includes. So yeah, it is black history. It has brought come around February, doctor King, Rosa Parks, etc. but incidents in a life of a Slave Girl, Linda Brant talks about what happened to our women.

02:19:45:10 – 02:20:09:05
Speaker 3
The slave girl is raised in an atmosphere of licentiousness and fear. The lash and the foul talk of her master and his sons are her teachers. When she is 14 of 15, her owner or his sons, or the overseer or perhaps all of them begin to bribe her with presence. If these fail to accomplish their purpose, she is whipped and starved into submission to their will.

02:20:09:07 – 02:20:12:09
Speaker 1
They look at that well.

02:20:12:09 – 02:20:21:25
Speaker 3
Allah. When he came, he created a male free sanctuary to heal the black woman.

02:20:21:28 – 02:20:35:11
Speaker 3
All praises due to online. Esteemed class. Muslim girls training in general. Civilization. Class. Well, we don’t let no men in that class.

02:20:35:13 – 02:20:37:20
Speaker 1
Come on now. That’s right.

02:20:37:22 – 02:21:08:20
Speaker 3
A male free sanctuary. And I thought about Isaiah 61 and three, where it says to console those who mourn in Zion, to give them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy, instead of mourning the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness that they may be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the Lord, that he may be glorified.

02:21:08:22 – 02:21:32:22
Speaker 3
So, believe it or not, this is not just the paramilitary training of the nation. Only when outsiders talk about it, he said. The paramilitary Fruit of Islam. And they come companion Muslim girls training. Well, military training is a part of our healing.

02:21:32:24 – 02:21:35:07
Speaker 1
Have to.

02:21:35:10 – 02:21:39:26
Speaker 3
See in order to heal someone, you gotta know what they were broken.

02:21:39:28 – 02:21:41:12
Speaker 1
In.

02:21:41:14 – 02:21:47:19
Speaker 3
We were broken as men in our ability to be providers and protectors.

02:21:47:22 – 02:21:48:09
Speaker 1
Yes.

02:21:48:12 – 02:22:00:17
Speaker 3
Because on a plantation you could have a wife and daughters. But if the slave master wanted your wife and daughter, they were first. Before they were your wife and daughter, they were his property. According to the law.

02:22:00:19 – 02:22:02:02
Speaker 1
Because.

02:22:02:04 – 02:22:27:27
Speaker 3
And he could come and tell your wife to get up out of your bed and come and get in his bed. And the one nothing that you could do about it. So the restoration of a manhood that, as the minister said, he won the training of therefore wives centered around when a law says in the Koran, men of the maintainers and protectors of women.

02:22:27:29 – 02:22:33:23
Unknown
Who have prayed for a long.

02:22:33:26 – 02:22:43:04
Speaker 3
So these constitute training units that you should invite your youth to come and be a part of this.

02:22:43:04 – 02:22:45:09
Speaker 1
Right? Absolutely.

02:22:45:11 – 02:23:00:11
Speaker 3
Don’t you think that it would be much better to see more young black men like these brothers? Yes. More young sisters like these sisters here. All praises due to our Lord.

02:23:00:13 – 02:23:24:08
Speaker 3
Now, I’m not just up here because I’m in the nation. And you think I’m seeing in the nation. Praises. Admittedly, as a minister in a nation, I do have a bias toward the nation. Not that can’t be hidden. You you wouldn’t expect me to be, purely objective. And that’s not a bad thing. Everyone has a bias.

02:23:24:11 – 02:23:26:01
Speaker 1
I see.

02:23:26:04 – 02:23:32:13
Speaker 3
If you’re a husband, you got a bias toward your wife. Your wife ain’t just equal to any and every other woman.

02:23:32:15 – 02:23:34:03
Speaker 1
Come on now. That’s right.

02:23:34:05 – 02:23:43:10
Speaker 3
That’s right. If you’re a wife and you got a husband, you ain’t purely objective where your husband is concerned. He ain’t just like any ordinary man. As your.

02:23:43:10 – 02:23:45:26
Speaker 1
Husband.

02:23:45:29 – 02:24:12:14
Speaker 3
So you’re biased towards that which you love. Nothing wrong with that. You should be. But I’m not the only one who has these positive things to say about the nation. So let’s look at a few expert witnesses that bear witness that we have the antidote. It ain’t just good for men. It’s also good for women.

02:24:12:16 – 02:24:13:13
Speaker 1
Yes, sir.

02:24:13:15 – 02:24:48:18
Speaker 3
Professor Gardell famously has written, Farrakhan is able to attract a larger audience than any other black spokesperson. So now that’s the first clue that Minister Farrakhan is an unusual man. I see a lot of you younger brothers and sisters. You see Beyonce. They attract tens of thousands. But what about Minister Farrakhan? Tens of thousands of people show up to see a man without a band, without musical accompaniment.

02:24:48:21 – 02:24:50:05
Speaker 1
Come on.

02:24:50:07 – 02:25:20:24
Speaker 3
Ain’t nobody on the stage juggling, turning flutes, no acrobats, no animals. So, Minister Farrakhan, even before there was a Beyoncé, he was doing Beyoncé type numbers just standing flat foot on a stage, delivering a lecture that’s evidence of a messianic anointing. You don’t move masses with a word and you ain’t got no entertainment.

02:25:20:28 – 02:25:23:04
Speaker 2
Come on.

02:25:23:06 – 02:25:59:28
Speaker 3
That ain’t just oration eloquence. So articulation. That’s a man who articulates the Word of God, and it touches the souls of people who yearn for God. Good. He says Farrakhan has a unique capability. He’s able to reach deeply into the souls of black youth. He’s able to talk to them in a way that really makes them listen. This rapport enables Farrakhan to criticize and redirect destructive behavioral patterns.

02:26:00:00 – 02:26:07:13
Speaker 3
Again, our subject is turn my young brothers and sisters over to the Nation of Islam.

02:26:07:16 – 02:26:10:04
Speaker 1
Back up now.

02:26:10:06 – 02:26:43:10
Speaker 3
Again, he’s not a paid spokesperson for the nation, though he is objective. And when he says the minister has a unique capability. In other words, Farrakhan is known for doing what other folk can’t do. That he can touch young people at the level of their soul, that he’s able to criticize them and redirect destructive behavior patterns. How many of you know that it’s difficult to criticize young people today?

02:26:43:12 – 02:26:47:03
Speaker 3
So they take it personally? I don’t think.

02:26:47:06 – 02:26:48:21
Speaker 1
Everybody has a.

02:26:48:24 – 02:27:00:17
Speaker 3
Say. You trying to judge me? Why are you hating me? Is is a very powerful generation. They are courageous and fearless, but they’re also very sensitive.

02:27:00:19 – 02:27:02:11
Speaker 1
Right.

02:27:02:13 – 02:27:11:11
Speaker 3
Any of us in leadership, even if we in leadership of the mosque or the church or the school, we realize that a new generation is with us.

02:27:11:13 – 02:27:12:13
Speaker 1
That’s right.

02:27:12:15 – 02:27:36:19
Speaker 3
That’s right. And as Minister Rodney was sharing with the student ministers yesterday, organizations of all kinds nowadays are struggling to manage the large number of multiple generations in any organization. You got baby boomers, you got Gen X, Gen Y, Gen Z, they all on the same job, same.

02:27:36:21 – 02:27:37:04
Speaker 1
But.

02:27:37:06 – 02:28:02:03
Speaker 3
They all in the same, family, even under the same roof. Right. And every generation has his own idiosyncrasies. See, you know, the baby boomer generation, because that’s the generation that to be on time is late, right? That’s right. They believed in being early. Everywhere you go. Talk about being on time. Oh, that means you. They’re a half hour.

02:28:02:03 – 02:28:05:27
Speaker 1
Early to go Gen.

02:28:05:27 – 02:28:07:11
Speaker 3
X my generation.

02:28:07:11 – 02:28:08:04
Speaker 1
We were the first.

02:28:08:04 – 02:28:31:17
Speaker 3
Generation with digital watches. Okay. So it’s exactly seven minutes until the meeting starts. Okay. So I leave in three minutes. I’m only three minutes away. So every generation has its own idiosyncrasies and is our duty and leadership. If you want to be effective in leadership, you gotta study the characteristics of the different generation.

02:28:31:24 – 02:28:32:18
Speaker 1
That’s right.

02:28:32:21 – 02:28:38:25
Speaker 3
Don’t sit back and judge and say, well, back in my day, we did this. Okay, well, it ain’t your day no more.

02:28:38:28 – 02:28:41:05
Speaker 1
Today, your evolution.

02:28:41:05 – 02:28:47:28
Speaker 3
We are taught on our lessons to be right and exact down to the modern time.

02:28:49:03 – 02:29:21:05
Speaker 3
So they’ve identified that the minister has this capability. Even Newsweek said Minister Farrakhan and his disciples are a force for good with the community’s young men. That’s right. See, all of this is in stark contrast to how the white power structure treats our minister. When all these objective observers say, man, Farrakhan is good with the young people, but then you take him off social media while the young people are right.

02:29:21:07 – 02:29:55:14
Speaker 3
James Baldwin and this is on the back of message to the Black Man, right? He said, Elijah Muhammad has been able to do with generations of welfare workers and committees and resolutions and reports and housing projects and playgrounds have failed to do to heal and redeem drunkards and junkies, to convert people who have come out of prison and to keep them out, to make men chaste and women virtuous, and to invest both with the male and female, with a pride and a serenity that hang about them like an unfair light.

02:29:55:17 – 02:30:01:07
Speaker 3
He has done all these things which our Christian church has spectacularly failed to do.

02:30:01:10 – 02:30:02:10
Speaker 1
So he said.

02:30:02:12 – 02:30:09:10
Speaker 3
These are the expert witnesses. Y’all remember Mayor Rendell, right?

02:30:09:13 – 02:30:10:12
Speaker 1
Yes.

02:30:10:14 – 02:30:33:01
Speaker 3
When Minister Riding was getting ready to march, what was it, a thousand men or 10,000 men through grades 55,000 through Grays Ferry. My brother say y’all attacked my sister. The Koran said men are the maintainers of women. We want to see if you attack our brothers, but come before you. Kind of like when spike Lee did the movie and they attacked Brother Johnson.

02:30:33:03 – 02:30:33:29
Speaker 1
Yes, sir.

02:30:34:02 – 02:30:40:15
Speaker 3
And Malcolm said, look out their window. Who is that? Those are Brother Johnson’s brothers.

02:30:40:21 – 02:30:42:06
Speaker 1
Right? Right.

02:30:42:08 – 02:30:47:28
Speaker 3
So Brother Rodney had assembled the brothers, and the mayor was afraid. And guess.

02:30:47:29 – 02:30:49:07
Speaker 1
What?

02:30:49:10 – 02:30:53:26
Speaker 3
He called Minister Farrakhan. Wait a minute, I thought I was divisive.

02:30:53:28 – 02:30:54:21
Speaker 1
Come on.

02:30:54:23 – 02:31:00:27
Speaker 3
I thought he was a troublemaker. So you call Farrakhan in to bring peace in the city?

02:31:00:29 – 02:31:01:29
Speaker 1
I don’t think.

02:31:02:02 – 02:31:23:26
Speaker 3
So. And then the mayor said, this is a faith that doesn’t just talk about family values. It lives family values. This is a faith where men respect them, women and children, and they manifest their faith by staying in the home with them. This is a faith that doesn’t just talk about being against drugs, but it’s out there. Every single day at night fighting against drugs.

02:31:24:02 – 02:31:33:03
Speaker 3
This is a faith that doesn’t just talk about the value of education. It imbues in their children and schools that education is the way of opportunity.

02:31:33:04 – 02:31:34:01
Speaker 1
So who lives.

02:31:34:04 – 02:31:36:08
Speaker 3
As your former mayor of Philadelphia.

02:31:36:10 – 02:31:37:25
Speaker 1
And you.

02:31:37:27 – 02:32:10:15
Speaker 3
Expert witnesses? Yeah. Then he became the governor. Even when they were trying to suggest in California that we were un-American, their un-American Activities Committee was compelled to say, there’s no question about it’s the Muslims accomplishing much good for many of its own members that a rigid discipline and fanatic faith have produced amazing results in rehabilitating many sinning, literate Negroes who are alcoholics, drug that drug addicts and habitual criminals.

02:32:11:13 – 02:32:30:09
Speaker 3
You know, I have to add a side note, because those kind of quotes always get me upset. Because, you know, the subtle suggestion is that the message of the Honorable Elijah Muhammad is only for a certain cross-section of the black community.

02:32:30:12 – 02:32:32:08
Speaker 1
Right, right.

02:32:32:11 – 02:33:08:22
Speaker 3
That that message does not have a majestic profundity that is attractive to minds who may be professional or technical or scientific or artistic is not just for people who have had a street life existence, you know, but is similar to what happened in the life of Noah in the Koran. There was certainly a high falutin folk who said, no, we don’t want to have nothing to do with you because we’re looking at who with you, and only the meanest of the people are with you.

02:33:08:24 – 02:33:38:14
Speaker 3
Yeah, the word leap brown, former mayor of Houston, said they refrain from smoking, drinking, drugs and woman chasing. They take criminals out of prison and reform them. In the general Negro criminal population, the recidivism rate is extremely high. Once these men become Muslims, they also become law abiding citizens, and very few, if any, ever return to a life of crime.

02:33:38:17 – 02:33:40:11
Speaker 1
That’s right.

02:33:40:13 – 02:33:45:22
Speaker 3
Turn my young brothers and sisters over to the Nation of Islam.

02:33:45:25 – 02:33:46:18
Speaker 1
Yeah.

02:33:46:20 – 02:34:21:22
Speaker 3
Even pretty Daniel Pipes. Are you pious? You don’t like the Nation of Islam and. But as he looked upon us, he noticed a phenomenon. He said, when black people get in trouble, they’re able to flee into the Nation of Islam. There’s a well-established pattern of African Americans who, finding their reputation in tatters, turned to the Nation of Islam, which then provides them with solace and help.

02:34:21:24 – 02:34:47:04
Speaker 3
since I went to the public school system like some of y’all, I didn’t really know what solace meant, so I had to look it up. Says solace means comfort in sorrow or misfortune or trouble. Alleviation of distress or discomfort. So you mean that’s the role of the Nation of Islam in the life of troubled black people? Yes.

02:34:47:07 – 02:35:28:12
Speaker 3
I would, critics say that, yeah. even the evil ADL. When they were writing a report trying to stop minister Farrakhan, they acknowledge Farrakhan is filling a void in that community. He yet they still oppose us, still hope and want us to see that they are friends. Oh, beloved brother and sister, I hope that we’ve made a case today why you should help us to turn our young brothers and sisters over to the Nation of Islam.

02:35:28:12 – 02:35:36:28
Speaker 3
Thank you for listening. I leave you as I came before you in the greeting words of peace in Paradise. Assalamualaikum.

02:35:37:00 – 02:35:41:10
Speaker 1
Come on over the next.

02:35:41:12 – 02:35:47:02
Speaker 3
Brother Demetric Muhammad, come on. We can do better than that in Philadelphia.

02:35:47:04 – 02:35:54:21
Speaker 1
Did you all appreciate that? Did you learn something?

02:35:54:23 – 02:36:15:19
Speaker 3
We got to. We got to turn the children over. We got to start with us in the room. Turn your children over to the nation. Listen, have a seat. Just a minute. We’re going to have our brother have a seat. I just want to ask a question. Is anyone out here today for your first time here at our new location?

02:36:15:22 – 02:36:24:24
Speaker 3
Thank you so much. Any men? Thank you so much. We got a couple of hands up over here. Brother Joseph, help! Brother down there.

02:36:24:24 – 02:36:26:23
Speaker 1
Now, if.

02:36:26:23 – 02:36:46:02
Speaker 3
You out of here for your first time, how many of you feel what you heard today is the truth and good for us as a people? Let me just, you know. Well, I thank you so much. We can’t ask for better than that. But I really believe he made a case today. I mean, I feel that in my heart, we’re not just biased.

02:36:46:02 – 02:37:10:12
Speaker 3
We had information coming from friend and foe. but they all bear witness to a truth that we have known for some time. And so, I’m thankful for what he shared today. The honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan said, if you’re out and you heard this and you feel that is the truth, there’s another there’s another voice talking.

02:37:10:12 – 02:37:41:27
Speaker 3
Sometimes there’s another, there’s there’s someone else reaching out to you. We never know who that is, but it’s our obligation to ask the question. Since the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan is extending an invitation to come to Islam, not to join it, you were created. This already. We’re talking about just accepting it. So is there any one of you that are ready to come forward and just be a part and study with us, because we’re your family here in Philadelphia and brother has made a case.

02:37:41:27 – 02:37:57:14
Speaker 3
You come on up. You you people that that raise your hand, you come on up and shake his hand. And if you if you are ready to come out and learn more, this house is open to you and we are your family.

02:37:57:14 – 02:37:59:17
Speaker 1
Come on.

02:37:59:20 – 02:38:11:21
Speaker 3
Who else is with us? Who else is with us to study with us? You know, we didn’t fall out of the sky. We came out of these same neighborhoods and zip codes here in Philadelphia.

02:38:13:15 – 02:38:27:11
Speaker 3
And so, you know, don’t be shy. I know, but we we make a way for you. If you’re a little shy about coming before people, and that and you can see the secretary of department and they can facilitate you. Here comes our sister.

02:38:27:11 – 02:38:30:29
Speaker 1
Come on.

02:38:31:01 – 02:38:32:25
Speaker 1
That sounds good.

02:38:32:28 – 02:38:36:27
Speaker 2
All praises due to Allah.

02:38:36:29 – 02:38:41:24
Speaker 1
Oh, praise is due to Allah. Oh, praises due to Allah.

02:38:41:24 – 02:38:48:25
Speaker 3
Thank you so much, brother Demetric Muhammad. And we’re going to get to talk to him.

02:38:48:27 – 02:38:49:13
Speaker 1
shortly.

02:38:49:13 – 02:39:11:26
Speaker 3
After we close right downstairs. We’re going to set up. He’s got his books with him and and other writings and things that he does as a member of the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan in the Nation of Islam’s research team. just doing a fantastic job for, for us here. and it facilitates our work here in the city of Philadelphia.

02:39:11:28 – 02:39:16:14
Speaker 3
We hope that you learned something today. And we.

02:39:16:14 – 02:39:16:29
Speaker 1
Be able to.

02:39:17:07 – 02:39:35:15
Speaker 3
How can we how can they? Well, we’re we’re taping this. So we, I guess we can get the stream to you. Wouldn’t you like to be able to study what he gave you today? I know it was a lot of information. But you see, people, people are ready for the truth.

02:39:35:18 – 02:39:36:06
Speaker 1
Right?

02:39:36:08 – 02:39:48:05
Speaker 3
And I love the part about the the mother’s milk. Because even though Moses grew up in the enemy’s house, there was a girl who said, shall I lead you to a woman.

02:39:48:07 – 02:39:48:21
Speaker 1
That will.

02:39:48:21 – 02:39:49:14
Speaker 2
Nurse him?

02:39:49:14 – 02:39:51:13
Speaker 1
And it was Moses mother.

02:39:51:15 – 02:40:18:16
Speaker 3
Who had the hope for deliverance of her people. So why, he’s growing up with Pharaoh. He’s drinking the milk of his mother, and that mother’s milk come from that people, and they’re longing, a great deliverer. He learned ways of the enemy, but in his heart it was for his people and the God of his people. So, we thank him so much for sharing these, these incredible truths with us.

02:40:18:18 – 02:40:41:18
Speaker 3
And so what I want to do, as people are filling out some forms to learn about our classes, you know, every Monday night the men meet here, we have a men’s class, and, from time to time, we open up and have the city, and and we have a manhood training class where we can. You can learn things about how we can become stronger.

02:40:41:18 – 02:41:05:00
Speaker 3
Means to make our own community a safe and decent place to live. We believe this is one of the few places left in America where you can learn that kind of thing. So I’m thankful to, our captain and the lieutenants and the the staff that train us all to make us better men. Because, any real man wants his community protected.

02:41:05:02 – 02:41:12:14
Speaker 3
and we can’t stand, I’m. We’re not waiting on the police here. We don’t need nobody around us with guns.

02:48:39:01 – 02:48:42:10
Speaker 1
will,

02:48:42:12 – 02:48:43:24
Speaker 3
if we could. Having a little quiet.

02:48:43:27 – 02:48:46:03
Speaker 1
We just want to take a public offering.

02:48:46:06 – 02:48:46:24
Speaker 2
And I want you.

02:48:46:24 – 02:48:58:24
Speaker 3
To think about the value of today’s message that you came here, to mass number 12. And you heard something today that, you know, you can take with you. You ain’t going to be able to raise this.

02:48:59:06 – 02:49:01:00
Speaker 2
This this is a this is a new.

02:49:01:00 – 02:49:26:13
Speaker 3
Kind of blueprint that our brother is preaching from. And no, that you don’t see his teacher, but you can see the effect of his teacher, the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan. And that effect is on every people, everywhere. He’s gone all over this planet. So we are we are thankful for that leadership. Yesterday was his 91st birthday. and,

02:49:26:16 – 02:49:59:10
Speaker 3

Speaker 3
Get these children and turn them over.

Speaker 1
Because you, you.

02:54:19:15 – 02:54:24:00

You do better turning them over than letting them loose.

Speaker 1
We can.

02:54:24:14 – 02:54:29:07

See what letting them loose does, and pretty soon they’ll be praying on us.

02:54:29:09 – 02:54:29:21

He said that the Caucasian has commercialized, this day, Mother’s Day, just like all of the other holidays, the, Easter, and all that, just to make money. And they use us to use the emotions and all that, that, for commercialization. So with that being said, every day is Mother’s Day, but we do have a little something that we want to give to all of the women.

02:56:53:08 – 02:57:03:03

In the manner in which you are most comfortable, follow along silently. In the name of Allah, the beneficent, the Most Merciful, the one God to whom all praises do, the Lord of the world, the beneficent, the Most Merciful, master of the Day of Judgment in which we now live. Do you alone? Do we serve in the alone?

03:00:44:18 – 03:01:04:27
Speaker 2
Do we beseech for aid? Oh, Allah! Guidance on the street pair the path of those upon whom thou has bestowed favors, and not the path of those upon whom the wrath is brought down, and nor of those who go astray. After hearing that teaching. See he allies one Allah is he upon whom we all depend. He need to begin.

03:01:04:29 – 03:01:21:29
Speaker 2
Nor is he begotten, and there is none like him. I bear witness that none deserves to be served to worship besides the one who appeared to us in the person, the father Muhammad, eternally grateful to him for given to us his wise choice in the message of Messiah, the exalted, the risen and the living.

03:01:21:29 – 03:01:22:20

We pray any meeting is dismissed. Go in peace. Remember, we are never to be the aggressor. But if we aggress upon, we fight with those who fight with us.
