PURPOSE

Original Nation Magazine was conceived by faithful and humble followers of the principles and practices of Islam as taught by the Honorable Elijah Muhammad, the Messenger of Allah (God). Writings in this periodical shall consist of thoughts of Black Men and Black Women (Original Mus-lims) – those who bear witness that Allah (God), the Supreme Being, came in the Person of Master W. F. Muhammad and raised Messenger Elijah Muhammad as the Divine Leader, Teacher and Guide for us all. Journey with us as we explore the profound realm of wisdom, knowledge and under-standing that evolves from the ORIGINAL NATION – divine reality that encompasses some 78 trillion years of ever-present existence and principled accomplishment. Islam, as brought to the Hells of North America by Allah, Master Fard Muhammad, and taught for some 40 years by His Messenger, the Honorable Elijah Muhammad, is that which gives vision to all who accept their own and join on to their own kind.

We propose to continue to develop a new mind (body of thoughts and ideas) among Black people in America and also throughout the world (earth). We, the Muslims, pray to Allah, Master Fard Muhammad, through His Messenger, the Honorable Elijah Muhammad, that we are granted success in this and every other righteous endeavor we undertake.

As-Salaam-Alaikum

In the Name of Allah, Who came in the Person of Master Fard Muhammad, and in the name of His Messenger, the Honorable Elijah Muhammad. As-Salaam-Alaikum. We who are followers and students in the new Islam will continue to work in the cause of Allah, Master Fard Muhammad, with His last and greatest Messenger, the Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad. As the western white world continues to deteriorate and fall we most certainly agree with Allah and His Messenger Elijah Muhammad that we must accept our own and join on to our own kind to be saved. In this issue of the Original Nation mag-azine (beginning in the center spread) you will find another must-read article by Messenger Elijah Muhammad that is titled ―THE FALL AND BREAK UP OF THE OLD WORLD.” Here the Mes-senger explains the meaning of the Prophet Daniel’s vision of a statue that possessed a head of gold, breast of silver, legs of iron and feet of miry clay. Again, we thank all who participated in the three-day Saviour’s Day week of activities which were once again held in the Richmond, Virginia area. A review of this activity can also be found in this issue. The Muslim farm program of going back to the good earth is gearing up for the Spring of this year; we plan to pro-duce a bigger and better yield as well as secure increased participation in this on-going project. A report on this year’s start-up along with pictures appears in this issue-beginning on pages 16 -17.

As always we ask that our readers send comments on any and all articles that appear in this publication. We will reserve space for letters to the editor to print your comments. Efforts are still being made to reach out on local, state, regional and nation lev-els to re-unite with all the followers of Messenger Elijah Muhammad who de-sire a united Black Nation of Islam. The avenue to achieve this unity and contin-ue with growth and prosperity is the NOIGA (the Nation of Islam General Assembly of Laborers). The annual Summer Conference that is held in Bridgeport, Connecticut is planned for three days beginning on Friday, July 21, and ending on Sunday, July 23rd. Plan to be there and to fur-ther contribute to the growth of our na-tion. As-Salaam-Alaikum.

In the Name of Allah, Who came in the Person of Master Fard Mu-hammad to Whom praise is forever due, and in the name of His Last and Greatest Messenger, the Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad. As-Salaam-Alaikum.

Discipline Necessary In Managing Your Finances

The first important fact one must ac-quire in becoming successful-on this topic–is discipline. The Most Honora-ble Elijah Muhammad teaches that “discipline is a form of training that develops self-control, character, or-derliness and efficiency that builds manners, passion and respect.” When one studies the words of the Messen-ger's definition of discipline and ap-plies or practices the meanings, one will be able to organize a structure which will benefit self and kind.

Make sure that your on-going income is more than your bills, and other nec-essary expenses. Next, it is advised to arrange and log or list these on a cal-endar according to due dates. It is also important to mail your bills (if mailing applies) at least seven days in advance-due to postal service and accounting department operations, to be sure they are paid on time. Paying bills on time will avoid late fees as well as bad credit. Establishing good credit means one is trustworthy; not just in making a loan

with a white devil, but with your own kind. The Messenger teaches his stu-dents/followers not to create any debts if you can not pay them, and pay them on time!

Learn To Apply Extra Payments Toward The Principle Amount

Here is advice for credit card bills which is another form of debt: It is beneficial for you as a customer to pay more than the minimum amount due, if you are able. By paying the minimum amount due and any finance charges one will pay off debt earlier to avoid more finance or interest charg-es.

One can indicate that any monies paid over and above the minimum amount due must be applied to paying down the principle amount of the loan-i.e. apply towards principle.

The Most Honorable Elijah Muham-mad teaches that food, clothing and shelter are our three basic needs. In a safe and secure home budget these basic needs require many necessary expenses which are listed below: 1. Homeowners or renters insurance 2. Life Insurance 3. Automobile: auto insurance, tags,

st ickers, taxes, inspect ion (depending on residency), gas

4. Real Estate Taxes 5. Utility Bills 6. Emergency Repairs-if homeowner

(and other emergencies) 7. Phone Service 8. Poor rate-Charity 9. Food and Clothing 10. Savings-daily, weekly, monthly

The Messenger teaches us and em-phasizes the importance of saving our hard earned income as we spend it on our needs and not on our wants. We all want nice material things, but the question should be- ―Do I really need this? The Messenger has provided for us instructions on savings in one of his textbooks titled ―Message to The Blackman In America‖. The topic, ti-tled ―Economic Program‖ is located on pages 192 thru 205. He teaches us we can save our monies by not eating out frequently at devil establishments as this often leads to doctor and hos-pital bills. We must stop wasting our income on the celebration of any white peoples (devils) holidays, for none of them apply to Black people.

The Messenger also teaches us that we should stop trying to live like mil-lionaires, purchasing expensive auto-mobiles and clothing before a nice home. There is much more, but just remember a tip to learn what our Mes-senger wants us to practice with our income; “save some and spend some, so when you need some you will have some.” Trust self by saving your money at home and paying self an interest you will be able to continue on a regular basis. We can benefit self and kind when applying these ―Tips On Building A Safe and Secure Home Budget‖. As-Salaam-Alaikum!

In the Name of Allah, Master Fard Muhammad, and in the name of His Messenger, the Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad. As-Salaam-Alaikum.

The Actual Facts or Armageddon Board was conceived and designed by the Honorable Elijah Muhammad and constructed by Muslim Brothers who were his early followers in the Nation of Islam in Washington, D. C. (the Capital of the United States of America).

Afterwards, those who attended any Muhammad’s Temple of Islam in any area across North America could wit-ness (see) and be taught from this board by Messenger Elijah Muham-mad or any of his Ministers. This prac-tice continued from the early days of Islam up until the 1970’s.

Actual Facts Board Stolen and Hidden

According to an early follower and former Minister of Messenger Muham-mad who served in Richmond, Virginia at Muhammad's Temple of Islam #24, the Original Actual Facts board was constructed by him and other brothers in his back yard at his home residence in Washington, D.C.. Upon its comple-tion the Messenger began to use this board as an effective teaching tool in the Temple. Some visitors who attend-ed the Muslim meetings saw how ef-fective this was so in the absence of the Messenger and other Believers, they secretly had the board removed from the building and hidden in an unknown place. Upon returning to

hold a meeting the Messenger noticed the board missing and mentioned to the brotherhood that he needed the board as it helped him to effectively conduct services. The brothers began a search and recover mission-eventually finding it (the board) hidden and stored in an alley in a garage. The board was returned to its rightful place and remained as an effective teaching tool in all Temples under the Messen-ger’s guidance.

Messenger Muhammad Warns His Followers Of On-Coming Destruction

On Sunday June 18th, 1972 at Mu-hammad’s Temple of Islam #2 in Chi-cago, Illinois during his Theology of Time Series, Messenger Muhammad stated: “...I want you to hear me, because you don’t have next year (1973) and the year after next (1974) to come out and hear this, you bet-ter make up your mind today.”

The Muslims and the general public began to see and experience the dis-mantling of the Nation of Islam, includ-ing the removal of the Actual Facts Board from the Temple, the destruc-tion of the teachings of Islam as well as the destruction of the Temple itself. As-Salaam-Alaikum.

ists, Advertisers, and Salespersons for the ORIGINAL NATION MAGAZINE. This is a quarterly publication of the Nation of Islam.

In the Name of Allah, Who Came in the Person of Master Fard Muhammad, and in the name of His Messenger, the Honorable Eli-jah Muhammad. As-Salaam-Alaikum.

The highest technology and sci-ence component of the human family is the Original Blackman and the Original Blackwoman. In original science the highest de-gree of intelligence is body (physical), mind (mental thought processes) and spirit (the energy generated from the person). The Asiatic Blackman is the Original Man of the planet earth and also God of the Universe. Real technol-ogy teaches us that all colors (people) come from Black.

The Science Of Original Person And Creation

Messenger Elijah Muhammad teaches us, from Allah in the Per-son of Master Fard Muhammad, that the Supreme Being originat-ed Himself, beginning from the first atom of science in the vast darkness of space; this action eventually manifested the original galaxy that continues to grow our universe. Today we measure it as some 18 quintillion miles.

There are approximately 20 billion

nerve cells (called neurons) in the nervous system. There are two types of cells found in the periph-eral nervous system. The periph-eral nervous system consists of afferent or sensory neurons and efferent or motor neurons. The afferent nerve cells (from the Latin-meaning “toward”, and fer-re, meaning “to bring”) carry sen-sory information from the periph-eral to the central nervous sys-tem. They have their cell bodies in ganglia and send a process into the central nervous system. The efferent nerve cells (from the Latin ex, meaning “away from” and ferre, meaning to bring) carry information away from the cen-tral nervous system to the effec-tors (muscles and tissues). They have cell bodies in the central nervous system and send axons into the periphery.

White Blood Cells Aid In Fighting Disease

Your body is a science and tech-nology voltage energy divided by current (R=V/I). Where are white blood cells stored? This is also a science. Most of the white blood cells in the body (is technology) are stored in connective tissues or lymphatic organs. The white blood cells are released in re-sponse to areas of invasion by pathogens or injury.

The White Blood Cell Count Decreases Slightly In The Elderly

The truth as taught by Allah, in the Person of Master Fard Mu-hammad, is that the Black Nation-the Original Man and Woman– the Lost-Found Nation is Mathe-matics and Science. Knowledge of Islam is the first “How To Eat To Live”-in the light of the Most Hon-orable Elijah Muhammad-live for-ever! At birth, a newborn has a higher white blood cell count (9,000 and above). Examples are such as that a man breaths 3 cu-bic feet of air in one hour and thought travels at the rate of speed of 24 billion miles per se-cond. As the child grows this num-ber (Of white blood cells) falls to adult levels (4,500 to 10,000 cells per cubic millimeters of blood) within two weeks of birth. The total white blood cell count de-creases slightly in the elderly.

The sun (position wise) is the cen-ter of the solar system. The Earth is the Original planet in all of the Creation. We have our moon and there are other planets with moons, and there are stars. Body platelets are very small-1,575 X10-3 INCHES (0.004 millimeters) in diameter and 3.9X 10 inches (0.001 millimeters) thick. The Su-preme Wisdom of Allah is taught to us in Islam. The function of platelets include: 1. transport of enzyme and proteins critical to clotting and 2. formation of a platelet plug to slow blood loss; contraction of a clot after it has formed which then reduces the size of the vessel break. The tech-nology component though is in that area of the circuit break. As-Salaam-Alaikum.

The Restricted Laws Of Islam

Are Our Success

The state (condition) of the so-

called Negro in America has

reached crisis proportion, thereby

keeping alive and compelling the

need for a Nation of Islam Law

Conference. The strict rules, laws,

and guidelines which we who are

Messenger Muhammad‟s true fol-

lowers possess, must be obeyed

and carried out-they are beyond a

doubt, our success. Therein lies

the need to confer periodically

(whenever needed) by way of a

law conference with other Mu-

hammad‟s Temples of Islam to

further our continued success.

Proper understanding insures

proper conduct and proper assess-

ment of our daily lives.

When correctly understood and

applied, law may be defined as

“the system of rules established by

organized society (Islam), perfor-

mance of which it enforces or

breach of which it punishes.” It is

the coercive character of its rules

that distinguishes law from cus-

tom. Those in attendance must

have clear minds, capable of ana-

lyzing and organizing any con-

fused set of facts.

The results of a Nation of Islam

Law Conference should bring

about mutual understanding as to

what must be done and the time(s)

in which it must be done. As-

Salaam-Alaikum.

In the Name of Allah, Who Came in the Person of Master Fard Muhammad, and of His Last and Greatest Messenger, the Honorable Elijah Muhammad. As-Salaam-Alaikum.

The above title, ―Let Food Be Thy Medicine‖ is by no means a newly coined phrase. It has been said and used over and over, over a long peri-od of time. Its meaning or reference to living without a number of ailments has not been explored by the general populous. Its meaning is also rarely promoted by persons in the medical profession who are the many, treating illnesses of their many patients. So, why is the statement made with cer-tain importance? How is food relevant to our health, good or bad? Why is it stated to let food be your medicine? Can food really serve as our medi-cine? Can it replace the drugs manu-factured and given for illnesses? And, if food can replace prescribed medica-tion offered in the medical circles then why is this not the case?

What We Eat Keeps Us Here, And

What We Eat Takes Us Away

There are many questions to be an-swered. The Honorable Elijah Muham-mad has said many times ―what we eat keeps us here and what we eat takes us away‖. This statement is a direct reference to the importance of eating the proper foods - to sustain life and to promote good health. Foods

also serve as a hindrance to many ailments. It also serves as a cure for a number of ailments that many of our people now suffer. Some of those we hear most often with our people in-clude hypertension, high cholesterol, heart disease and diabetes. The Honorable Elijah Muhammad's statement is one that forces us to look deeper into his teachings on ―how to eat to live,‖ which is also the title of two of his great books (How To Eat To Live, Books 1 and 2). He teaches on a number of foods that we should eat and gives us the proper way they should be prepared as well as the time of day to eat. Food is the fuel that we take in to provide energy to sustain us. It is also the substance we take in that also causes a number of the ail-ments that we suffer. This is primarily due to the types, manner, quantity and quality of the foods-some which we have listed.

Eating To Live Inconveniences The Medical World

The Messenger teaches us that if we eat as he prescribes we can live a long, long life and be in good health. However, if we live a long healthy life with little or no illness then we may inconvenience the medical world and all of its components (doctors, drug manufacturers, medical supply com-panies, hospitals, research centers, and a host of other companies in-volved in the field of medical aid). The truth of the matter is that no one in the

field of medicine will come out to pro-mote a healthy society where they or their companies would be put out of business. Yet the truth remains that food is your medicine when the proper information is brought forth.

Messenger Muhammad further teach-es that our dietary habits must be in accord with what is natural for our well-being. Our bodies are designed to handle a plant-based diet for food for good health and a long life. He teach-es that all the vitamins, minerals and other nutrients we need for good health are found in plants. He teaches that meats are no good for us. The practice and habit of eating meat is detrimental to our well-being. There is much that can be said reference our health and eating habits. The fact of the matter is that the Honorable Elijah Muhammad is right on point when it comes to eating to live. I invite you to look further into his teachings on this subject. Here are some references on this subject of food and its ability to reverse illnesses and cure diseases:

These are some of the materials avail-able that provide information that veri-fies the teachings given to us by Mes-senger Muhammad. They also explain why food is not promoted as the main source to good health, and why it is not likely to become a remedy pre-scribed by the medical industry. Food can be your medicine. As-Salaam-Alaikum.

The acts and confusion of the

white man and especially

England and America bring

our attention to Daniel's vi-

sion of the world today

(Daniel 2:31-46).

IN THIS vision of Daniel‟s,

the image‟s head is gold,

which represents the standard

metal of worship. And the

placing of this at the head and

not at the feet gives us again

a chance at the meaning and

significance of Daniel‟s vi-

sion.

The head of gold and the

breast of silver represent the

two countries (England and

her sterling, and America and

her gold). England‟s sterling

pound and America‟s eleven

or more billion dollars in

gold made these two coun-

tries the head of the nations

of the earth.

This was because of their

great wealth of money, gold

and silver which they hoped

to use to sway the nations to

bow to their biddings. But the

fall of this great god of gold

and silver and the maneuver-

ing of power to be the instru-

ment that caused the fall of

the great statue of gold and

silver (the world standard or

media of exchange held by

England and America) came

from Divine power and not

from the nations‟ power.

THE SMALL NATIONS of

Europe united after the ster-

ling had fallen off the market

to a weak point (about a

third of the power and less

than they previously exer-

cised over the nations of the

near and far East).

When America was holding

the bulk of the gold, she rep-

resented the head. But the

smaller nations, with France

in the lead, captured the head

of gold which is the most im-

portant part of the image or

statue that Daniel saw.

Nobody can travel or move

without the head. When we

lose the head we lose the

body of silver and miry iron

and clay, (referring to Dan-

iel‟s vision).

The legs and feet of iron and

clay represent the statue as

being partly strong and partly

weak. The weakness is in the

legs and the feet when the

legs and feet should be the

strongest part of the body to

support the head and body.

THIS STATUE began with

the base (legs and feet) which

represents how the gold and

silver were built up. England

and America got the head of

gold and breast of silver from

weak nations, who were part-

ly strong and partly weak: as

James (in the Bible) 5:1 gives

it very clearly.

This is the real fall of the two

powerful kingdoms (the rob-

bery of the poor), as it says in

James‟ prophecy of gold be-

THE FALL AND

BREAK UP OF THE

OLD WORLD

By The Honorable Elijah Muhammad Messenger of Allah

11

ing able to stand in the days

of battle and war, to bribe na-

tions; to support and stand

against justice for the poor,

who had been the instrument

of labor to build and keep

strong the image of gold and

silver.

The American Black people

who were brought into the

country for the sole purpose

of their labor to be used for

the opening up of the new

country called America, are

no more needed for labor

purposes.

They are not even needed for

any war purposes, because

the modern agriculture labor

is in machines, and the con-

quering of nations today is in

scientifically-prepared arms

of war that made the Black

man (once-slave of America)

to lie around in trenches and

bushes to help his master kill

master‟s enemies.

ONE BOMBING plane could

do more than a million

ground soldiers in the way of

fighting an enemy. But, injus-

tice given the once-slave is

such that it is not matched by

any past slave-master in the

history of slavery.

Even in the fall of ancient

Babylon, ancient Egypt, none

of these slave-holding ancient

governments and states

equaled the present evil of

the modern masters of Ameri-

ca against the Black once-

slave.

Even while the once Black

slave flies to the help of his

master at their beck and call

to fight to destroy his ene-

mies, the master is today, in

America, armed to the teeth.

The government allows the

white murderer of the Black

American (the rapers) to

come through the Black

man‟s neighborhood night

and day and destroy his mor-

als and his life.

At this very hour, eternal war

against the Black man is

planned as the Psalmist

(Bible) prophesies that they

12

plan to destroy the poor se-

cretly.

ALL KINDS of evils are

planned against the once loy-

al slave of America today: in

the drugs, in food and the wa-

ter that the slave eats and

drinks, to destroy his increase

of his nation-making his

woman unproductive, and

turning her into the most dis-

graceful woman of the na-

tions with his indecent styles

of dress.

He is doing nothing to show

justice to his slaves even to

leave him. He does not want

any separation. He wants his

slave to remain as a prey and

continues to destroy him. He

now fights a war against

God‟s intention to redeem

and deliver us (the Black

once-slaves of America).

Allah (God) is wise. He puts

strength into the weak (iron

mixed with miry clay) to has-

ten the fall of the head of

gold and breast of sliver by

letting America spend all of

her gold (according to the ra-

dio, newspapers, and other

announcements) down to a

billion dollars, and some say

America does not own that

much out of eleven billion

dollars of gold bars in the

Kentucky hills.

HER NATIONAL debt, her

daily expenses to finance war

all over the earth-wherever it

may start, is terrific.

The likeness has never been

seen in the past-taking her

gold head away and Eng-

land‟s breast of sterling silver

away from the statue.

Therefore, the stone (England

and America‟s Black slave)

that the builders rejected is at

the feet of this mighty statue

of gold and silver-being not

gold and silver themselves,

but rather iron that is much

stronger than gold and silver,

though they mire down in

earth of miry clay. Yet, in it,

there is strength to build the

foundation for a strong na-

tion.

So it is the prophecy through-

out the Bible and the Holy

Qur-an, that which they

thought was too weak is be-

ing strengthened for us and

supported by the Divine Will

and Power.

NO METAL is stronger than

iron. No nation is stronger

than its poor people who sup-

port it. Without labor you

have no government; the poor

are the labor. England and

America have lost their god

of gold and silver and the

kingdom is falling and break-

ing up.

THEY ARE losing their labor

(the Black slave); he is crying

out for justice, and according

to James‟ (in the Bible)

prophecy 5:4 this gold by

right of justice was due to the

poor slave who labored down

the fields of America and

England.

But it was spent and given

away to curse the lives

against the day of battle and

war to keep the poor, poor

without being justified for

their labor and life given to

England, and America for the

past 400 years.

So the God of justice is at

work to see that the poor get

the justice due them. So pow-

erful worship of these two

nations, (England and Ameri-

ca) of gold and silver in

abundance over smaller na-

tions is falling and breaking

up while the weak are in-

creasing in durable strength

like iron.

In the Name of Allah, Master Fard Muhammad, and in the name of His Messenger, the Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad. As-Salaam-Alaikum.

“Surely prayer keeps (one) away from indecency and evil; and cer-tainly the remembrance of Allah is

the greatest (force) and Allah knows what you do.”

-Holy Qur-an 29:45

Prayer, one of the Principles of Belief In Islam, represents communion with Allah and is obligatory. It connects us (Lost-Found Nation of Islam) to Him. We turn to Allah acknowledging that He is the Creator Who guides through prayer. What is prayer? Prayer is the act of offering respect-especially to God (Allah), communicating with Him and recognizing His presence.

The Honorable Elijah Muhammad has devoted a chapter on Prayer Service and it can be found in Message To The Blackman in (North) America (pages 135-160). He teaches us that Allah is oft-forgiving and merciful therefore we should thank Him contin-uously.

Allah Is Worthy Of Our Love and Obedience

There are so many benefits of prayer. It enlightens and raises the highest aspirations meaning you have an ear-nest desire to seek Divine guidance. Allah is worthy of our love and obedi-ence. We (Black People) are His cho-sen and should want to please Him. Why should and do we pray? Since being stripped of the knowledge of self

by the white race we have been put on a journey that fulfills Divine pur-pose to bring us back to our original self. We are dependent on Allah to guide us and we thank Him through prayers given to us by the Messenger.

Muslim Prayer Service begins with cleansing all exposed parts of the body. We prepare ourselves to come before Allah with clean body and mind. This shows respect. We turn east toward the Holy City of Mecca- ―the only Holy place on the Earth‖ says the Honorable Elijah Muhammad (Message To The Blackman, page 48). With heads bowed and hands outstretched that have been cleansed of any evil that they may have brought forth, we show obeisance to Allah, humbly submitting to Him with repent-ant hearts. The ears have also been cleansed from any evil heard and eyes shut from seeing evil.

“Observe prayers in the early morn-ing, at the close of the day, and at the approach of the night. Prayers are good deeds which drive away

the evil doing”

-Holy Qur-an 11:114

We are surrounded by evil everyday so it is necessary to keep up prayer. Muslims pray five times a day with the addition of two more prayers if awak-

ened during the night. Allah wants to make us whole again. Our prayers are devoted to Him and He blesses us by purifying our hearts. Our prayers are also designed for us (Lost-Found). We have turned to the devil (white people) long enough. Our time is now to learn of and pray to our God (Allah). To Him alone do we pray. Do not follow the religion of white people (Christianity). It is for them and it will keep you blind, deaf and dumb, praying to a dead Prophet (Jesus) who cannot hear you.

“It is so essential that you follow the Messenger because if you do as I say, you become a different person.” (The Divine Sayings of The Honorable Elijah Muhammad, Volume II, page 19)

We Must Not Forget To Pray For Our Messenger

We must not forget to pray for our Messenger whose guidance raises us from our dead condition. The chapter entitled ―A PRAYER FOR THE MES-SENGER‖ is found in Message To The Blackman, pages 157-159.

O Nation of Black People in North America, come join this journey with us who follow the teachings of the Honorable Elijah Muhammad. Learn the best of prayers. We are Allah’s chosen and Islam is our religion. As-Salaam-Alaikum.

Prayer In Islam

In the Name of Allah, Master Fard

Muhammad, and His Last

Messenger, Elijah Muhammad.

As-Salaam-Alaikum.

We pray everyone who participat-

ed in our Saviour‟s Day activities

had an informative and entertain-

ing experience. On Sunday Febru-

ary 24th, 2013, there was a believ-

ers‟ reception at the Homewood

Suites by Hilton-Richmond Air-

port, 5996 Audubon Drive, Sand-

ston, Virginia (near the Richmond

International Airport) where we

held all of the Saviour‟s Day ac-

tivities. After eating foods from

the Muslim cooked buffet, the

weary travelers retired for the

night to get ready for the next

days‟ activities.

Educational and Informative

Classes Held In The Early

Morning Before Saviour’s Day

Believers‟ activities began Mon-

day, February 25th at 8:30 a.m.

until 11:00 a.m. The F.O.I. class

taught self-defense and prayer,

utilizing law and investigative pro-

cedures in Islam. Other classes

included physical drill and a lec-

ture on race-mixing and tricknolo-

gy of the enemy. The M.G.T.-

G.C.C. class offered the correct

way of cooking navy bean soup,

and the science behind this small

bean and the three color variety.

Sisters also sampled the finished

creamed bean soup after class, an-

ticipating whole bean and creamed

bean soup at the evening banquet.

In Sewing class there was teaching

on the importance of accurate

measuring of self, patterns, types

of fabric that may be used for dif-

ferent garments prescribed by the

Messenger; also there was teach-

ing on the need to have your no-

tions organized as well as to check

your machine to ensure it is work-

ing properly, if you have not used

it for a while. All Sisters in at-

tendance received head-piece pat-

terns.

Excellent Ideas Exchanged

Captain Debbie Muhammad and

Sister Lieutenant Evvy Islam. Be-

lievers in the audience participated

with questions and comments-

showing great interest. This activi-

ty concluded the morning sessions

thus everyone, except Laborers,

retired to get ready for the evening

banquet, and to catch up on rest if

they arrived during the “wee”

hours.

The various laborers‟ meetings

dealt with planned security and

policy (The NOIGA-The Nation

Of Islam General Assembly). Af-

ter handling all the work and ne-

cessities to have a smooth Sav-

iour‟s Day, time was taken to get

changed and relaxed for the up-

We Must Produce Our Own People’s Needs

The Honorable Elijah Muhammad teaches us “ we must get together to produce our own people’s needs”. One thing we truly need to maintain our lives is good, whole-

some, nutritious and lawful food that we can grow from our own good earth. With this agreed upon fact, members of the Nation of Islam under the teachings of Messenger Elijah Muhammad once again have en-gaged in the farming and agriculture process.

Believers Prepare For A Great Summer and Fall Harvest

Believers in the States of Connecticut, New York and Virginia have begun spring planting of a variety of vegeta-bles and are sprucing up fruit trees in anticipation of a great summer and fall harvest.

Our farming and gardening efforts of 2012 survived the hottest (and in many areas), driest summer on rec-ord, yet Allah blessed us with wonder-ful produce. The hard and consistent work of the believers paid off with a good harvest. Both, the Brothers (F.O.I.) and the Sisters (M.G.T.) have worked and will continue to work to make this agricultural program a suc-cess. In 2013 as we lay the ground work for an even slightly expanded operation

we are learning additional farming techniques as well as a variety of ways to prepare (cook) and preserve the farm produce.

Believers Engage In The “Raised Bed” Process

We are still learning more and more about various farming processes. Some plants are purchased from commercial ―hot houses‖ and then transplanted into the earth. When us-ing seeds we choose the right time of year and weather conditions to plant them in the ground after we have tilled and otherwise cultivated the soil for

excellent crop production. Some be-lievers have chosen to use the ―raised bed‖ process when growing vegetable plants. The spring planting season in the eastern portion of the United States begins early in the deep south. By late March and mid April the ground is

usually prepared for planting in the lower mid-Atlantic states. As one moves further North the planting sea-son usually starts soon after the frost breaks in late April or early May.

Farming Taken To The Next Level

While the crops are growing many of the believers are learning improved methods of enriching the soil to get even better produce. The best meth-ods of cooking and preserving foods is also being studied and implement-ed. The next level of development is advanced methods of packaging and distribution. All praises are due to Al-lah, Master Fard Muhammad, for the Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad. As-Salaam-Alaikum.

“...In The Days Of Famine They Shall Be

Satisfied.” In the Name of Allah, the Benefi-cent, the Merci-

ful. All praise is due to Allah for giving us a Mes-senger in the Honorable Elijah Muhammad. As-Salaam-Alaikum.

On Saturday, May 18, 2013, the M.G.T. & G.C.C. of Muhammad’s Temple of Islam #41 in Bridgeport, Connecticut, with the assistance of Bro. Minister Kenneth Muhammad descended on the earth to grow some crops for ourselves.

The Messenger teaches us that we must do for self, and have some land to call our own. The M.G.T. and Jr. M.G.T. got to work, putting the Mes-senger’s teachings and program into practice. We began by turning and mixing the soil to properly prepare it for many crops.

We planted eggplant, string beans, butter lettuce, yellow and butternut squash, tomatoes, cucumbers, both red and green peppers, okra, sweet basil, sweet peppers, parsley, orega-no, and rosemary. This effort ena-bled us to once again get a feel for working the land.

With Allah’s blessing we will get a taste of the fruits of our labor. Allah is ever seer of all things as addressed in the Bible, Psalm 37:18&19 which reads: “The Lord knoweth the days of the upright; and their inher-itance shall be forever. They shall not be ashamed in the evil time and in the days of famine they shall be satisfied.” As-Salaam-Alaikum.

In the Name of Allah, Master Fard Muhammad, and His Messenger The Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad. As-Salaam-Alaikum. “Behold how good and how pleasant it is for brethren (and the sisterhood) to

dwell in unity,” Psalm 133:1

The Honorable Elijah Muhammad, throughout all his teachings and writ-ings, has been and is the greatest teacher of unity among his followers and all Black people in America and the world. He made it extremely im-portant for Black men and women here in America to work hard for unity amongst themselves. In his dynamic book, MESSAGE TO THE BLACK-MAN IN AMERICA, on page 220, he writes: ―The unity of 22 million so-called Negroes up from slavery is the answer to our salvation…” He adds: ―what more do we need but unity of the whole for the whole?...Love and unity of self and kind is the key to our salvation.”

Other Ethnic Groups and Races Have Strong Unity Among Themselves

It is our lack of true unity that keeps our people divided and prevents us, even in 2013, from making any real progress to save our people, who remain deaf, dumb, and blind to the knowledge of self. Messenger Mu-hammad says we allow petty differ-ences to keep us divided. If we look carefully around us, we can see all the other ethnic groups and races who have strong unity among them-

selves. We see the Koreans, Arabs, Russians, Asians, Spanish, Germans, Irish, Italians – all displaying unity among themselves. Why such unity amongst these groups despite their differences, outlooks and opin-ions? Each of these groups have uni-ty because they all have something in common that naturally unites them: language, ethnicity, culture, heritage, skin color, homeland, etc. When I was in elementary school I had difficulty doing math. I didn’t hate math. I just found math hard to do. In fact I avoided having to do math. I remembered what to do when it came to fractions. In the science of frac-tions, all parts are not together, they are fractionalized. In order to solve a problem in fractions or arrive at a sum in fractions, one must find the least common denominator. When the least common denominator is found, you solve the problem or you find the sum in fractions and all parts come togeth-er.

We Must Unite To Overcome Our Common Enemy

The Honorable Elijah Muhammad teaches that Black people here in America are divided and he calls us to unite. We are 40 million or more Black people here in America with so much potential for greatness. Although we are from different political, economic and religious backgrounds we all have a particular thing in common. We are all Black, descendants of slaves, with a common enemy — the Whiteman, who has deceived us and continues

to deceive us into thinking that we are free.

Messenger Muhammad Teaches That The Solution To Our Problems Is Divine

Messenger Muhammad says that our problem of disunity is a divine prob-lem that needs a divine solution from GOD in Person. He points to the Book of Ezekiel 37:1 which clearly shows the current condition of Black people in America. The Prophet Ezekiel was set down in a valley of dry bones; the-se bones were scattered, and dry. Mr. Muhammad stated that these bones are a perfect picture of us (Black peo-ple) here in this country; the bones represent or are a symbol of Black people who are without substance-no life. Bones are remains of a human or animal that once lived but is now dead. The dryness of the bones rep-resent Black people without water (spiritual life) and the divided bones represent the disunity of people. The bones described in the Book of Ezekiel were so dry and scattered that GOD commanded the Son of Man to prophesy unto the bones and blow four winds upon the bones. This Mes-senger Muhammad tells us is the coming of Allah God and teaching Black people truth, which caused us (the bones) to begin seeking unity. It is unity that will allow us as a people to overcome all obstacles placed in our path. With divine unity, and truth, we can build an economic, social, cultural, educational Institution that the Honorable Elijah Muhammad teaches us that we as a people can do with the help of Allah. Messenger Muhammad teaches that our unity is more powerful than an atomic bomb. We can’t just teach or preach unity; we must be unity in ac-tion. And our unity must be as a solid

wall where none can divide us; be-cause a chain is as strong as its weak-est link. We the followers of the Honorable Eli-jah Muhammad must be the greatest and truest examples of unity. We must, in truth, embrace our people.

We as Muslims must start with our-selves to produce the fruitful rewards of unity. This will show our people what real unity can produce. Let us build that strong united Black front. But let us do it in the name of Allah, Who came in the Person of Master Fard Muhammad, and His Apostle, the Honorable Elijah Muhammad.
