“Mary and Jesus: A Sign of The New World Education” In the name of Allah the Beneficent, the Merciful, I bear witness that there is but One God and I bear witness that Muhammad is his Messenger. My dear beloved brothers and sister and those of you in our listening audiences I am very happy to have you this opportunity to come before you once again. We were just at Reverend TL Barrett’s church this morning and we have a very wonderful secession with Reverend TL Barrett and his congregation. And here we are here at the Mosque to give you some food that I think you would rejoice in having. I hope not to be long with you today but I do want to pay good attention to what I am about to say. With us today we have a gentleman who is from Sweden who is doing a doctoral thesis on the Nation of Islam. As you may recall Dr. C. Eric Lincoln as black man who is a Methodist Minister studying as Boston University did his doctoral thesis on the Nation of Islam. And he is the one that coined the phase “Black Muslims” and he wrote a book called “Black Muslims in America”. And his work ended with a prophetic kind of utterances concerning Malcolm X, concerning the internal tensions in the movement. And as you know when the Honorable Elijah Muhammad departed from us his son Warith D. Mohammad took over the helm of leadership. And too the Nation of Islam onto a path of what is called Islam Orthodoxy. So a scholar by the name of Dr. Mumimi started writing again on the work of the Honorable Elijah Muhammad and now this Swedish scholar is attempting to write another chapter concerning the work of rebuilding of the Nation of Islam. Now let me get quickly to what I wanted to discuss with you today, by the help of Allah (God). The Honorable Elijah Muhammad asked the question or the question was asked of him by Master Fard Muhammad his teacher, “What is the meaning of civilization?” Answer from the Honorable Elijah Muhammad, “One having knowledge, wisdom, understanding, culture, refinement, the pursuit of happiness and is not savage.” The Honorable Elijah Muhammad in an earlier lesson taught us that a savage is a person who has lost the knowledge of Himself or herself and is living the life of a beast. Now if you look at our lifestyle in America, you could say that something is wrong with us as a people that we are living a lifestyle that is not civilized. Our behavior one toward another is not the behavior of civilized people. We do not demonstrate that we have knowledge, wisdom, understanding, culture, refinement nor do we demonstrate that we have the pursuit of happiness. But what we do demonstrate is that we are savage that we have lost the knowledge of ourselves and are living the life of a beast. Now when we use the term ‘beast’ in references to a human being, we are talking about one who is fiendish, a berserker, one who is out of one’s mind, one who preys upon the weakness of others even as a beast will stalk his prey and pounces on the prey and destroy flesh of that prey. We have become like that today, in our communities where we live. We

1


stalk one another, if we don’t belong to the right gang, or wear the right colors we are stalked by our brothers. And our brothers will look upon us not his own flesh or blood because we don’t belong to the same gang or the same club or wear the same color and then we pounces on each other like wild animals; tearing the flesh of each other. Why do we do this? We have lost the knowledge of self and are living the life of a beast. We even do the same thing as grownup’s only we do it with the mouth, with the tongue. We tear each other up because we don’t belong to the same church, the same denomination, the same religion, the same fraternity, or the same political party. When we meet each other we meet each other not as family, not as friends but as enemies because you are a Christian and I am a Muslim. And this one is a Hebrew and that one is a Republican and this one is a Democrat and this one is a NAACP and another one is an Urban League and this is a member of another organization. So we are fragmented and fractionalized and are guilty of what is called fratricide, which is from a Latin root ‘frater’ which means brother and ‘caedere’ which means to kill. So when we are guilty of fratricide we are guilty of killing our own brothers and sisters. Do we agree and do you understand? How did we become like this? We live in a society under our oppressor that happens to be Caucasian people. And this people have treated us in a beastly manner. They have stalked us and destroyed our flesh, both in the North and in the South. In Central park a little less then a month ago a young group of black youngsters raped a white woman. And the whole country is up in arms over this. They called it ‘wilding’ they went out ‘wilding’. What is a savage, a person that has lost the knowledge of self and lives the life of a beast and acts untamed, wild. So when the young boys go out ‘wilding’ they go out to just pronounce on someone who is innocent and beat them up, rob them, rape them and this is called “having fun”. We have fun today by disturbing human life, destroying human life or robbing another human being of his or her processions. That is Savage. Where did we learning it from? We learned it from Caucasians who went ‘wilding’ into Africa. And they took our fathers out of Africa on board ships and for the ‘funny of it’ they put human beings in the holes of ships and packed us together like sardines in a can. As we made the journey from Africa to America. Think about human beings living in the holes of a ship, no fresh air, no sunshine, and we are tied together urinating on ourselves and defecating on ourselves. And the journey lasts three months or better. That was there ‘wilding’ so they brought us to Americas or what they call the Caribbean. And they dropped us off in islands in the Caribbean and of course they dropped us off also in different ports in the United States. And for the ‘fun of it’ and for the ‘sport of it’ we were paraded before the world on auction blocks. Human beings put on an auction block where men could go and fondle the women in the name of seeing whether this slave was strong enough to pull the plow. This was their form of ‘wilding’. And when we were so-called free the nightriders would come into the black community in the south drunk and they would shoot up our community for the ‘fun of it’. They would drag a black man out for the ‘fun of it’, they would hook us behind and automobile or buggy and drag our bodies down the street until the flesh was off of the 2


human being and he is still alive but severely wounded. Then they would either hang us up on the tree, cut off an ear, cut off a finger, pass out parts of our bodies in glee, this was their ‘wilding’. Or they would put gasoline on one of us and burn us and the women and the children and the men would stand around gleefully watching while a human being was riving in pain burning to death. This is what they did and they did not do it one night in Central Park. They did it for over 300 long years. It has been a long party, a long night of ‘wilding’ by a wild beastly like human being who has preyed upon black men and woman and now following them we have gone savage and act like they act and now we are destroying one another. Can you imagine a woman who does not have rights over her own body? Think about that today sisters! And just project your mind back during slavery when you did not have charge over your own body. The slave master could take anyone of you at will and you dare not refuse him. He could send any black man into you at will and enjoy making you suffer and night of ‘wilding’. And when white people today do evil to us the excuse is they had a little too much to beer, a little to much to drink and this is to excuse their bestiality and their savagery. Now something is happening, what they called civilization is now tumbling down. And the knowledge, which is at the root of the western civilization, is being rejected by our young people. You go to school but you really don’t want to be there. When you go to school there is nothing really there to attract you, to hold your mind, to educate you, or to really develop you. Something is happening, the teacher says, “it’s you the student”. And the student says, “it’s you the teacher”. The people say, “it’s the government”. The government says, “it’s the people”. So there is clashing going on now. And to go to school today, to get through it safe, they have more police sometimes in the corridors of school then they have on the corners of the streets because the schools have gone savage. The young people bring their guns and their knives to school, not books but guns and knives because it is going to be a rumble sooner or later and I have to be prepared. They bring their drugs to school, not their books but their reefer, not their maps but their plan of where to go to get what they need or what they think they need perceive they need to continue their daily routine of savagery. And into this a new knowledge comes. A new knowledge brings a new civilization. And the old civilization, the old knowledge is frightened by the presence of this new reality. And the government of America is frightened by the presence of the knowledge that was brought to the Honorable Elijah Muhammad by Master Fard Muhammad to whom praise is due forever. Now what does all of this mean? These young men want to know and these young girls want to know, there is no human being who is not born with a curious mind to know. The Honorable Elijah Muhammad said to us, “that when Allah created Himself he was a light of Himself.” Now think about that, when He created Himself he was a light of Himself. Then the Honorable Elijah Muhammad pointed to the firefly, the firefly carries its own light and in the night you will see from the tail of the firefly a light come up in the darkness of the sky, right? He has light within himself. And so do you, you all are born with the light of Allah (God) in the very nature of you.

I want you to hear me well, without a teaching an infant baby learns more in the first year of its life then it offtimes learns after that. Here is a baby, it can not talk, it can not walk but its mind is active. And if you watch the baby after three months or even earlier you will see the baby turning over, you didn’t teach it but the baby just turned. You say ooh look at that, you see the baby hold its head up, pull its head up off the little crib into which you laid it and it starts looking around. You wonder what is it looking at? You move your hand and it follows your hand, you make a sound and it looks in your direction, its senses our lives and the light that is guiding that child is its curiosity to know and to master its own environment. So in less then a year some children are standing up, you didn’t say get up boy its time to walk, or get up girl. The child just starts walking and you see it start pulling up don’t you? You didn’t teach it to do that, how did it do that? It has a light within and what education is supposed to do is to feed the light within that you will always be curious throughout your life. That you will always say, “ I wonder why does it rain, I wonder who makes it rain, I wonder why did Allah (God) create a blade of grass and there is masculine and feminine in the blade of grass, why did he do that?” “Why did he create a one celled creature” you should be curious. And the more curious you are the more you try to seek answers. And the more you seek the more you find and the more you find the more intelligent you grow until you become a master of your own environment. But there is something wrong with the educational system of the western world it seems to kill curiosity. After awhile you don’t ask questions anymore, after a while you don’t care to know anymore even though when we meet each other on the street what is the word that we use? “What is happening? What is up, what is going on, what is too it,” we are asking a question because that is our password. But really underneath that we are saying, “I really want to know is there anyone who can teach me, I really want too know.” But the food that western civilization puts on your table called ‘education’ you are pushing it away even though you are hungry for knowledge. You don’t want that knowledge because you have watched your mother, you have watched your father, you have watched your uncle, and you have watched your sister. You have watched your cousin, and you see it did not make them smart enough to overcome the enemy that put us in this condition so why buy a gun that can’t shoot? Not that I am saying that you should go and buy a gun but I am saying that you would not go and spend money for a pistol and it doesn’t shoot unless you are going to be a play robber. But if you are going to play the real thing you better have something because you are going to meet someone with something that is not playing. I am saying beloved, why buy an education that you can’t use? Alright let’s get down to cases and I am going to try to be as quick as I possible can. We name this Mosque Maryam after the mother of Jesus. I went into it a little last week but I don’t think that Allah (God) wanted me to say last week what I had on the paper to say because I guess it was not time and I will see if it is time today. And this may seem like the right audience because it is a small audience and it is a thirsty audience and an audience that really wants to be here so this might be the right audience. Now I don’t know whether Sister Muhammad mentioned in her talk that the scriptures of the Bible and the Holy Qur’an are coded. I am going to say that again, the scriptures of the Bible and Holy Qur’an are coded. Some of the language is called Allegorical, when you

4


use and allegory, I don’t want to sound so heavy because all of you young brothers and sister can understand this. An allegory is an implied comparison, you are comparing this with that only you don’t talk about this. Let me give you an example, when Jesus says in a parable a certain man was traveling from Jerusalem to Jericho and he fell among thieves and they hit him in his head and took his fine raiment and left him wounded in the road. Now when I say this what do you get? You get a picture, you see a man traveling right? And you see someone laying and waiting for him and then they snatch him and hit him in his head and take his cloths and he has a gaping wound in his head and the robber is not concerned about the poor fellow who had feel upon hard times. The robber is glad to get his cloths and does not care what condition he leaves the man in, do you see the picture? But Jesus called that a parable, letting you know he is not talking about an individual who robbed some dude and took his cloths. But he is putting a picture in your mind that would allow you to see a bigger thing if you can decipher the code. And the code is always using letters and numbers to convey a message but the message is not on the surface, the message is hidden. And it takes long arduous suffering hours to break someone else’s code. Why did Allah (God) coded the Bible and the Holy Qur’an? Why does he put it in a code? Doesn’t Allah (God) want us all to know what he is talking about? Allah (God) wants you to know what he wants you to know. And the Allah (God) wants to hide certain things from you until you are able to handle it. So in the Qur’an it says, “this is for the learned, this is for men of understanding, this is for the wise.’ And the of course there is always something there for the unlearned person that you just want to be able to read it and understand something and take it and run with it, it is always there something there for you. But the deeper meanings of the book is hidden because in the meaning of the code is the power of the word. The power of the word is locked up in the languages; once you break the code you can extract the power in the word of Allah (God) then become God. Now as a Muslim you would say, “wait a minute I am a man and there is no God but Allah how can I become God?” Well you should think Muslims about Allah’s creation of Adam and making Adam wiser then the angles and then ordering the angles to bow down to a mortal that he had fashioned out of black mud. This tells you the potential of the human being. And the word of Allah (God) is the key to unlock the power that is bounded up in the human being. You are power brother and sister but your power is dormant your power is hidden your power is covered up by the rubbish heap of the western civilization. So you pop your fingers and you party and you live a kinda wild crazy live because you don’t know how to bring out the power of your own being. So you are frustrated and you end up dreaming great things but never able to do great things because you don’t have the power to unlock your power. How could the Caucasian rule and ancient people except your power was diminished or covered up by order of Allah (God)? The Caucasian is a new man on our earth, he just got here a few thousand years ago yet he is the ruler. He rules everywhere on the earth, is that right? He rules the sky and the depth of the sea but he has made a bad job of it. So now Allah (God) is interfering with his rule. And Allah (God) says it is time for you to do what? Wake up and get up and rise up and stand up and be yourself.

5


But there is a power that has to come wake you up. And the power is in the word and the word is coded. The word has been here all along, you have been reading it, the preacher has been preaching it, but no one get up the power to change their reality. It is because the power is still bound up in the word. Look at this Qur’an, this Qur’an is a direct word of Allah to Prophet Muhammad and through him to all of mankind, right? Why is the Muslim world sitting in the desert with a camel and white people are ruling the world and they have this heavy book sitting in desert with nothing? If you are a donkey and I put a book on your back and you carrying the book up the mountain with me by the time you get to the top of the mountain you are still a donkey because carrying the book doesn’t make you wise. It is learning how to read the book that makes you wise. So the Bible says, “Blessed is he who reads and understands.” Well if you read and don’t understand are you blessed? You can read the Bible all day long brother as your mama does but she can’t pay the bills she must not understand. Can you imagine a Christian reading the Bible saying, “I got the Holy Ghost and I have got power” and someone comes repossesses your car while you are shouting? You mean all of the power you have could not allow you to translate that power into a medium of exchange to allow you to make your way in this world? See you have got the book Qur’an and Bible but you do not have the power. So if you have got the Bible and the Qur’an and you do not have the power to change the reality under which you live but you are subjected to the force of the world of an enemy. Then you read but you do not understand. And why don’t you understand, You are look at it but it is because it is coded. And if it is in a code until you learn how to break the code of the Bible and the Qur’an you can not extract the power of either one of these books. When you extract the power of these books you can confer blessings on yourself. You don’t have to sit around and wait for a blessing. You can create a blessing when you and I understand how to use the power that is bounded up in the word of Allah (God). Now I am coming to something, are you all right? Look if the scripture says, “ Jesus and his Mother were for a sign.” Then when you look at Jesus you are looking at a sign. You are looking at a human being producing a work that has a code in it and on it. And until you break the code you will not be able to live the life of Jesus. Just a minute I live Jesus life I am a good Christian, I know you are good that is true. When you tell me you are good means you don’t smoke, you don’t drink, or I am good because I don’t do these things, fine. Jesus rebuked the wind when have you done that? I will just go and hide and take a little rest and see if you can come back with the answer. I won’t go anywhere because I know you did not do that. Jesus healed a blind man when did you do that? Well let’s try something easier, Jesus took a man who was suffering from paralysis and gave him back the use of his limbs, come on when did you do that? Jesus raised a man from the dead when did you do that? See good or being good and good for nothing is not the kind of good that we want to be. I want you to follow me. Oh we just went off the radio good see God did not want me to tell it there either. Now being good and being good for nothing, you know what I mean good for nothing, meaning I am good but I don’t do anything substantive in my good to bring about a change in the world. I know may good Muslims, they say their prayers, they fast during the month of Ramadan, they are always at the mosque, they read the Qur’an but

6


they don’t do nothing to change the reality of the world. So how would you call that? Good yes but good for what, good for nothing. Because to be good and to do nothing of value means nothing, too be good and to come into mastery to be able to do what the master does that’s good for something. And you can’t do that unless you break the code. Now Jesus in his person was a code. What, the man himself was apart of the code. If Jesus was a sign then you got look at him, he is giving you a signal. And that is what codes do, they put a signal in your brain. Have you ever seen the flags on a ship the man does (waves them) and every time he does it means something else. You are standing by saying, “hey that man is waving flags I like his fancy movement, isn’t he beautiful” but if he did not do that maybe the ship or the planes could not come in right. So he is signaling something. He is putting a signal out, you understand? And the person who can read the signal says, “Ah” because it means something to him. You get Morris code dot dash dot dot dash dot dot dash dash, you say, “hum sounds nice that cat got rhythm” but if you don’t know how to read the code you can hear it but it does not mean anything to you. It does not send any signal to your brain because you don’t know that code. So you have got to know something in order to get something. Oh you better listen to me. All Praises is due to Allah. Now I am going to run through the history of Jesus Quickly because the man is a man that we need to look at, he is a code. His mother is a code and unless you can decode Mary and Jesus and the source of her baby you are not qualified then to bring in a new civilization. Let’s look at this now. Let’s talk about Mary and Joseph when they were young people the Honorable Elijah Muhammad taught us, they were childhood sweethearts. You know how you can be as a child you see a young lady that you really like as a child. How many of you have ever had a childhood experiences when you are 6 years old you see a little girl and you really like her and you think hum one day when I grow up I would like to marry her. Have any of you ever had that kind of experience? Sisters have you had an experience like that? Now since the Honorable Elijah Muhammad gave us and allegorical story or picture he was coding wisdom hiding in a picture. Once you get the picture then you begin to extract the wisdom as you mature. Now your Bible tells you Herod wanted to kill Jesus before Jesus was even born. Can you believe that? Wait a minute now think about it, how would Herod want to kill a child that it did not know anything about unless Herod knew something. Why would Herod want to kill a baby? How many of you look at beautiful little children, would think that a ruler of a government would say kill that baby unless the ruler knew something that the people didn’t know. What did the ruler know? Herod knew that it was the time that a child should be born into the world that would change the power relationship in the world and become the base of a New Kingdom, which meant Herod, is going out of business. Caesar is got to fold up shop. If a new ruler is coming and you are in power and you don’t want to give up power what would you do if you were the wicked? It is not easy to think wicked but I guess for us it become quite easy. All right I am going to put it on young terms. You are the leader of your gang and a new cat comes into the block, he is a karate master and someone saw him fight and he is too tough you know on the block if someone is bad, when I say bad he can deal. He may take your 7


job as the head of the gang, so if you are wicked and you see that cat moved into our neighborhood man. So maybe you feel threatened and you say, “hey you see that dude over there he just moved into our group or into our neighborhood but I heard he belongs to that gang over there such and such and so in so.” So you start lying on him, and I think we need to deal on him because he is one of them. So your boys, they are afraid of you say naw don’t mess with him by hand you have got to get your stuff and from a distance lay him out. But the object is kill your competition, is that right? This is gang terminology. But Herod belongs to a big gang. Herod functions on the high beast level. You function on a savage level. You just imitating a beast but the beast got his stuff down. So the beast says, “Hum it is time for Jesus to be born now we don’t know which mother is going to carry him so every woman that is pregnant we have got to know who she is and we have got to be there when the baby is born.” But now Mary gets pregnant under some strange circumstances. Now I don’t care how you say it, pregnancy is a rough thing on a woman especially when she falls in love with you or me and we didn’t wait to go to her father and say, “dad may I have your daughter’s hand in marriage?” He says, “Man you can’t have my daughters foot and if you don’t get out of here you will get my foot.” Here is a man if we are in this condition and you make a little girl pregnant, when she tells you, “Joe Sam Henry I am pregnant” what goes though your mind? You say Aw no, Aw my God, what am I going to do, how am I going to tell my mother?” She is thinking I have got to tell my mom, well can we get rid of it, why do you want to get rid of the baby, that is the evidences, evidences of what? That I didn’t do what I was supposed to do or I did what I though I was supposed to do and some how I am all messed you now, do you follow me? If you young men have ever been in that condition, it is an awful thing, let me tell you I have been in that condition. I will just come right on down front and talk about brother Farrakhan. My mother had not planned for me to get married for a while, I was 20 years old young man and had not quite made manhood I am in college. And my childhood sweetheart is my wife and it just so happened ‘hum’ you know what I mean. These things happen, hey I don’t want you all to think I feel down out of heaven, you know what I mean? I came right up out of hell with you. So now my mother she is one these strong women. And I may be 20 years old but I am scared to tell her, “A mom do you know Betsy you know she is in the family way” how do you tell your mother that? And she has to go tell her mother. Now we are talking in secret now no one understands just her and me and the baby and of course the God. And I said, “now how are we going to do this thing? So I said look I am just going to tell my mother what it is and we just go on and get married.” But you know when I was a young man any girl that had a baby out of wedlock I mean that was a big thing. All of the neighbors would gang up on her and talk about her bad. So whatever dirt you did you had to hide it. You know how the dog does, it does it mess and covers it with a little dirt up understand. Ok let’s get back to serious business here, now pick up on the situation. We live in America under a law, Mary lived in Palestine under a law that Moses gave to the Jews and that law said, “ If you were found in adultery you have to be stoned to death.” Now the girl comes up pregnant, suppose lets take the argument that a Holy Ghost or Holy Spirit came into Mary one night. And she is pregnant from the Holy Spirit. Now whether it is the Holy

8


Spirit or the Holy Spirit in a man with the Spirit. She is pregnant and no marriage ceremony has ever been preformed. Now how is she under that kind of law going to come out and say to the people, “Hi you all it is me Mary”? So now Herod knows that it is time for a Saviour to be born, he send out a decree to kill all boy babies. Mary is pregnant, if Herod don’t kill her, the Jews will kill her for breaking the law. So the Qur’an says, “She withdrew to a remote place.” She was taken out of the public. Have you ever seen young ladies get pregnant and all of a sudden you don’t see them any more? Then when they show back up, “Oh where have you been? Oh I have been away to school”. Some school. A sign. The baby is born but Herod does not know when the baby is born, now the baby is in danger and the mother is in danger. So if you were a good man, what would you do? Would you leave the woman or would you get her out of town? When you commit an act that is criminal, what do you do? You cut out, that is natural, you run away. Moses was fighting a man and killed him accidentally and he cut out and got in the wind. These are Bible stories but there is wisdom in it once you break the code. Now look at this Mary and Joseph and Jesus where put on a fast camel. Now the picture is, can you see Mary and Jesus being put on a camel? And the lesson says Joseph said to the camel go straight to Cairo, now brother and sister you know that is an allegory right, Because a camel don’t know Cairo from Sierra or wherever. So the talk there should tell you that it is an allegory but there is something that you need to understand. Jesus according to the Bible went in to Egypt, which was his mother’s home. Stop if his mother was an Egyptian she was an African woman, is that right? And if she was an African woman, she was not Caucasian, that is interesting isn’t? Even if the father is White if he puts his seed in a black woman she has enough power to color his seed so that the seed never comes out white it always comes out a member of the dark family, is that right? Getting Mary and Jesus out of town, he is safe in Egypt, safe from what? The planning of Herod and the wicked and the Jews. Ok Jesus was very quick to learn, smart. They say he was apt to learn he had an aptitude, a curiosity, he was brilliant at deducing facts from facts. He entered school a 4 years old in Egypt. And according to what the Honorable Elijah Muhammad taught us, he studies in a school called “Peach Pyramid ”. But if you go over there you don’t find any school named “Peach Pyramid” it is a code. He went in the school and in the school you learn to become a “God”. I m going to stop right there, you mean we can study to become God? Too many Muslims they say, “that is blasphemy” I say shut up and listen man. It is only blasphemy because you don’t know who you are and what can be expected from you. But if human beings have the potential to become master over the laws that govern creation and a master of creation, what would you call it if I could master the laws that govern the universe? Who would you call me? You would have to say that I am “God” a manifestation of the originator of the heavens and the earth, do you understand what I am saying? You mean that we can go to school and learn that? Yes Jesus did. He didn’t stay long, at (14) years old, all of this is allegorical now, he met and old master and this old master was there to teach him who he was. And so the old master uses a trick to get near to Jesus and he said to one of the young boys that was Jesuses playmates in school. He said, “I am look 9


for a certain number, a certain address” like if you lived on 47th street and I wanted to get to your buddy who lived on 43rd street, I would say to you, “look I am looking for an address” I give you a number that is near Drexel and 43rd street. And you would say, “oh I know where that is, my friend over here he lives right there and if you walk with him he will show you exactly where it is”. The old wise man was trying to get up next to Jesus to teach him. And they have a conversation, Master Fard Muhammad is teaching us a science in allegory. They have a conversation listen to the conversation, “how are you doing in your studies? I am doing fine? Do you know who you are? I don’t know in other words what you are talking about but I have got a feeling that when I grow up I am going to be a great man. He said. “ Well what are you studying”? And if I ask you this question what are you studying you would tell me all of the courses you take. Jesus only mentioned one (1) course. Well what are you studying, he said “mathematics”. And the old man, who was a wise one, he said, “Aw that is good”. He said I came to teach you the knowledge of who you are and how to protect yourself from the planning of the Jews. Now the Honorable Elijah Muhammad giving us this history, he told us that what the old man was to teach Jesus was the sciences called “The Radio in the Head ”. Now think about a radio, you all know what a radio is correct? When you turn it on if you want a certain station you know to call numbers is that correct? What do you listen to, 103 on your FM dial or 107.5 you know the number and you tune your dial. When you tune it to the right number you bring in a frequency. You are not listening for no frequency you bring in the sound that is traveling on that frequency. So now you at WVON or your are listening to WGCI or you are listening to your favorite station. But what are you doing, you turn your dial in a certain way where the sound would come in on the frequency that you turned your dial to tune up too. Now remember “The Radio in the Head ” now I may ask a question and I don’t want you too think I am crazy. How many of you have ever been some place and then when you got there you say, Hum I was never was here before but it seems like I have been here before? How many of you have had that experience before? How many of you in this strange place know what is about too take place before it happens because you were there in a dream? How many of you have heard a conversation knowing that you were not present and then told someone what you heard and they say, man it was just like that, have any of you ever had that kind of experience? Do you know what that is? Did you know when the Caucasian made radio and television they made it from a principle that is already operating here (pointing to the head)? What is dream, brothers and sisters? When you lay down and you say I had a dream last night, what are you talking about my dream? And in your dream you see, don’t you? Your eyes are closed, how can you see with your eyes closed? Close your eyes now, can you see me with your eyes closed? You can if you remember what I look like, close your eyes and you can see me, is that right? But now with your eyes closed you can’t see the world but in your mind eye you can see without these eyes. Steve Wonder is totally blind but Steve can see. He don’t see like you see or I see but he sees deeper then we see. You see me, you say “oh that is a nice guy I like that guy” but Steve can’t see me here (exterior) but Steve listens and he hears the spirit and he says, “I like him or I don’t like him”. But he is closer to the true with no eyes then we are with eyes.

Did you know that the Caucasian built radio and television from a principle that actually works in your own head? Aw come on Farrakhan don’t lay that on me. Did you know that they have a certain machine that they can put on your brain and it calculates brain waves? Have you seen those kinds of machines? Well when you think your mind is operating on a certain frequency. Now if I know how to tune in on you all I have to do is tune my mind up to the frequency that your mind is operating on and you and I do not have to talk. I know what you are saying without you opening your mouth. And let me tell you something about love. When you fall in love with someone, now this love is a powerful thing, let me talk too you a minute. But when you fall in love and you get close to a woman and she gets close to you can hear her without a telephone sometimes. You can see her without seeing her. And if you think on her hard enough you can see actually what she is doing. And she the same with you, that is telling you that you have got enormous power but your stuff or your radio is messed up and the wires got crossed. So it hits and missies. Have you ever turned on your radio and you get the station and all of a sudden you get “squee” and you call that interference, right? That is what is going on inside of your head, a lot of interference. And so your radio is sharpest when you are the most still, in the still of the night when you are quite. I have been places that I have never been and then when I went there I knew where I was and exactly what I was going to see because I had seen it before. But I didn’t see it with these eyes I saw it with this brain. Jesus was taught that power of how to tune in and listen to people think. And if you read the New Testament you will hear that Jesus did this listen to these words, And this man questioned Jesus and Jesus knowing their thoughts, did you hear me, said thus and so and thus and so. How many of you have read that in the Bible? Well if Jesus knew the thoughts of his enemies, listen to me now, he knew when they were planning to meet him over here and he went another way, is that right, because he was tuned up on his enemies all the time. So when Jesus fell into the hands of his enemies they didn’t take him by surprise, he voluntarily when into their hands. Now mind you this is an allegory, one man and his mother is standing for a symbol of something so much bigger then themselves. Now lets try and see what it means. Jesus is crucified, according to our knowledge of his history he never was put on a cross. What the Honorable Elijah Muhammad taught us is that he had read in the history that he was 2,000 year too soon to set up the kingdom of God and he decided to give his life for the truth that he taught. And on a Saturday morning between the hours of 9-10 now all of this has meaning you just have to beak the code. He went out on the streets of Jerusalem to die. And he was standing in front of Jews store and he had his largest crowd that he ever taught among them, 35 people. He did not have a big multitude not that Jesus because the Jews did not want him to hear what the man was saying. Jesus even used these words he said, “…My word has no place in you.” And then he condemned them, the Jews of that day he said, “…If you were the seed of Abraham you would do the works of Abraham.” They said, “…God is our father.” Then Jesus said, “…If God were your father you would love me for it came forth from God but now you seek to kill me a man that has told you the truth.” Jesus continued, “…No I know who your father is, you are of your father the devil.”

11


Now the Honorable Elijah Muhammad was not the first person to use the term “devil” Jesus called the Jews “devils” are you listening too me? You don’t accuse Jesus of teaching hate but he called the Jews “devils”. Well why should the Honorable Elijah Muhammad be accused of hatred when he says that the white man is the devil? It is not hate he is showing you how the white race is functioning, they are functioning in opposition to the Will of Allah (God) to the law of Allah (God) to freedom, justice and equality. Only those who function from the wisdom of Allah (God) and the law of Allah (God) can be considered non-devil. If Jesus stared school at four (4) when did you start? They did not let you in school until you were six (6) and then they put you in kindergarten playing. That is the most foolish system I have ever heard of in my life. Did you hear me? At six (6) years the child has discovered himself, it is no more time for play it is time for serious learning. The child was playing and learning in the crib it doesn’t go to school to play and learn. It goes to school to learn, but you do not have a school bright enough to teach your children. And I am telling you that if you want too produce a ‘Jesus’ today you have got to flee out of the hands of your enemies, listen to me good. Did Mary and Jesus have to get on a fast camel and get into Egypt where he could grow up out of the reach of his enemies? What do you look like sending your children to the school run by your enemies? Did you think that your former slavemasters children want to produce anything but a slave? Let’s see you go to school, what do you think they want you to become when you come out of there? “…Oh no my teacher wants me to become an engineer, lawyer, or doctor.” Oh really, a lawyer for who? And all you can do is defend your enemy. You have not put up a defense for yourself and your people yet. You want to be an engineer, in whose firm? “…Oh well black people don’t have no firm, so I have got to go to work for white people.” That is your problem that is still a slave. You come out of college to go back and work for the same people that you great-grandmother worked for, for what? They are not training you to become independent black men and women but they are training you to become slaves but only now educated tools of white supremacy. All praises are Due to Allah! Putting you on a fast camel means getting out of the house of your enemy quick. Now why Cairo Egypt? Egypt is the cradle of civilization, that is where knowledge, wisdom, understanding of the original people really sprung up for the world to come and see it. And our fathers left signs in the desert-coded signs called the “Pyramids” and the “Sphinx”. Ok let’s go to school now and we will end this. I know I can’t finish it today so there is no sense of trying but I just like to leave it at a point where you can understand it. There is something more to this then what meets the eye. I am telling you the teachings of the Honorable Elijah Muhammad are so deep and there is no use in trying to get under it. It is so high that you can’t get over it and it is so wide you can’t get around it. And he said, “…I am the door and you have got to come thought him if you want to get into the code of these books (Bible and Holy Qur’an) and into the power of your being.” All Praises is due to the Honorable Elijah Muhammad. There are three little things in want to point out to you and we can go home. The oldest university in the world is in Cairo Egypt. What is the name of that University? Al-Ahzar, it

12


was started under what is called in Islamic history the Fatimaid Dynasty. Fatimah was the daughter of the Prophet Muhammad. And she married a man whom Islam says was the closest to understanding the intrinsic value and meaning of his teachings, his name was Ali the fourth great Caliph of Islam. Fatimah and Ali produced children, Hasan and Husayn who were murdered under the rule of Ali and from Ali and Fatimah and Hasan and Husayn spring what is the Shiite branch of Islam. It was the Shiite who started Al-Ahzar. Al-Ahzar was to be a school that taught the Qur’an but taught the hidden science. It was to teach mathematics and all of the sciences to bring students up who could unlock the hidden meanings of this divine word. Interestingly enough Al-Ahzar was 1,000 years old when the Honorable Elijah Muhammad left in 1975, isn’t that something? There is a lot of wisdom here. Where did Jesus study? Inside of a place called “Peach Pyramid ”. Now we know what the pyramid is but what is this “Peach” business? Sister Tynnetta Muhammad playing with letters and numbers one day said ah Peach Pyramid. If you say the word Peach backwards you get Cheops. And Cheops is the main Pyramid and in Cheops is the wisdom of the original man in coded language that really Master Fard Muhammad teaching opens up the pyramid 100% if it is understood. Now look at this, when they were trying to find the stone that allows you to get into the pyramid with a secret chamber that leads you up to the kings chamber in which is an open tomb. The scholars say well the number seven (7) is a great number and maybe seven (7) stones should open up the pyramid. And they were twelve (12) stones off. The key stone that opens up the pyramid which you know is tied to or it is built as I heard the Honorable Elijah Muhammad say under a certain star. And it’s foundation will never crumble except you destroy that star. The foundation of the pyramid is lined up to that star. It can be destroyed but it has not been for thousands of years. And the keystone to let you into the pyramid comes under the number (19). And some Islamic scholars have said Hum we should have known that because the sun, moon and the earth line up once every (19) years. So (19) is the key to get into the pyramid which lets you into a dark chamber that is as dark as the womb its self. But of course they have lights in there now but you can imagine when they got in it was pitch black. As the Holy Qur’an would say, “Triple Darkness”. When you think you know and you have built up a lot of what you call knowledge, when you reach a point in your life where the knowledge that you think you have does not permit you to do any more with it what you use to do with it. You have reached the point in your life where you need an introduction of new knowledge. Sometimes new knowledge compliments old knowledge but there is other times when new knowledge destroys completely the old knowledge. Allah (God) sends scriptures and sometimes he will do away with one scripture and bring in its place another one. It is not that the knowledge was not knowledge it has no more value because time has made that knowledge useless. I respectfully say in the presence of our friend from Sweden that the knowledge of the white man today is useless. I am going to say it again, when I say it is useless it can not bring to him the results that he wants. He has knowledge but the can’t solve his problems. He has knowledge of economics but the can’t solve the economic woes of this country. He has knowledge of sociology but nothing that he knows will enable him to patch up this society.

13


He has knowledge of psychology but nothing that he knows will enable him to unlock the mind of his own youth much less our own. His knowledge is being turned backward now by order of Allah (God) Himself. So it is alright to go to school and learn but don’t think that what you have is what Allah (God) is going to use. “Behold I make all things new” there is going to be a new knowledge that will produce a new heaven and a new earth and the former things are going to pass away. Even what you think you know right now of the Bible, that knowledge is not bringing you the fruit that you want. I go to church and I see the church dying, it is just a modern disco. Sunday morning, can you imagine what the church would be like without music? I mean if the guitar is not plucking and the drum is not beating and someone not singing, you can’t hardly get the spirit. Because what the man is saying it makes you feel good but it is like, you feel good for a second and then it is gone and you are right back out in a world that you don’t have enough knowledge to deal with. And you know you can’t deal with that would you just don’t know enough to deal with that world and that is why we are loosing our children to the world because the knowledge that we have does not allow us to hold our children. We need a new education but an education that is rooted in Allah (God). Now look at this, if the number (19) is the key that admits us into the pyramid and anytime there is a key to admit you into something. The thing you are going into is a feminine creation. The pyramid definitely is feminine because it holds something in it. What does it hold? A secret. And many people go and look at the pyramid but very few come away with the secret, she holds the secret. Now why is (19) the entrée? Anytime you see the number (9) that represents a womb. And when you see (1) with (9) that means that the hand of the One God is over that womb and it is pregnant with something that you can’t see what it is yet. The number (19) is God’s signature over creation. And creation is pregnant always bring forth a new reality. Now God says, “ I have been holding a secret and I am going to spring it on the world.” The scripture say, “ I thank thee father in heaven for keeping these things from the wise and the prudent man and revealing it unto babes”. You remember how we talked about last Sunday the universe has nine (9) planets and the Sun represents the God over that (9). She keeps control of that (9) and gives life to that (9). Do know that the earth is full of life, it is a living mass? And the Sun just covering her just keeps bring things up out of the earth. And man is overwhelmed, he is still finding new creatures from mother earth. See female, the earth is mother and we abuse it. The universe is a pregnant universe and man has gone out and abused the universe. And here she is a divine creature and man has insulted her, abused her and misused her. Now God is taking her away from us. Sisters even though you love the brothers if you notice none of them make you really happy. Now wait a minute brothers this is not anti-brother week but I want to say something about you sisters. If a man doesn’t fully make you happy what are you going to do? “I will get rid of him that is what I am going to do” I don’t want you to clap on it because if you get rid of him what are you looking for? You can’t find happiness in a beast, so you can’t marry an animal. So if God doesn’t give you happiness in a man it is because he wants you to recognize more who you are and the power that should be in your life. 14


God wants to put his hand over your womb again. This man will place the seed there and just like Mary you couldn’t see the father, everytime you see a black woman you see her wheeling a baby but you don’t see the father. Where are we brothers? “Hey I had to cutout” why did you leave brother? “Well life got hard and I did not have a job and I did not have any money and she was pregnant and I just had to move on and make someone else pregnant and then I moved on again and made someone else pregnant you know what I mean?” Like coming to America I was sowing my royal oaks and this is our condition. And you (black woman) are walking with your babies with no man. You are just like Mary, got your child and you are trying to find a refuge for yourself and your child. And you know what, as long as you are alone without a man you stand to be insulted. So if you remember in the history Mary’s father was going away to the construction of a new Mosque. But there was no Mosques in the days of Jesus so he made a disguise out of goats beard and he told his daughter, “put this on so when you go out to feed the live stock that will think its me and they won’t give you trouble”. Anytime a woman is alone in this world someone gives you trouble. When they see you with your children and you don’t have no man it is an opportunity for a man. So he knocks on your door, “pardon me I just happen to ha be in the neighborhood and I see you so often traveling by your self is your husband at home? “Well no I don’t have one”. “Good, I notices you go out every morning do you work? “Yes”. “Seems like you have a nice job, that is a nice car you are driving and I am not jiving that is a nice car you are driving.” And you look at him and he looks so nice be is like a stray dog and out of compassion and need you take him in. “I am just cooking now would you have something to eat?” “What are you cooking?” “Oh not I did not cook it is just one of these pop in to the oven thing it’s already cooked. But would you join me?” He sizes up the apartment and he looks around, pretty nice. You have a growing young daughter, she comes in the room and he sizes her up to, he says, “hum even nicer”. He makes you think he is interested in you. And of course as time start passing you by you really get up tight. Now you have a live in friend and you are working to support your children and your live in friend. He beats you and your children because he don’t love neither one of you. That is the condition. Let me tell you sister, it is better to be by yourself then to be with someone that really don’t care anything about you. And a man does not care for if he will not work hard, “well how am I going to work I mean the white man is not hiring nobody.” Shut up fool, we must create a job, if the white man won’t give you one you don’t sit down and do nothing. And you don’t go out and sell drugs; God is not a ‘drugger’. He knows how to create something out of nothing and he put the same power in us black man. But you got to remember sister the whole world has beat this black man down. He is beat up everywhere. And I am telling you brother, you are a good man and you are really great and powerful. You just don’t know how to unleash your power. So the Honorable Elijah Muhammad was given a parable by Master Fard Muhammad about a lion in a cage walking back and forth sixty (60) feet per minute trying to find away out of the cage. It took him nearly four (4) centuries to find the door. The lion in a cage is not an actual lion but it is the power of a regal human being bound up under the power of an inferior world. And you can not express who you are because your education is inferior. “Well not my education I have my master degree and I have my doctorate degree, I beg

15


your pardon I am not an inferior person.” Oh please what you have is a symbol that says you have passed the slave test. Now you are qualified to go out and be a good slave. And make slaves of your people for me because he did not educate you to free yourself nor your people. He kept us ignorant to the knowledge of self that he may use us as a tool and a slave. And so here we are, you are alone woman. But Allah (God) is with you and it is his signature over your womb. The number (19) is over you and you carry a secret and you don’t even know it. And that is why you can’t tell him and the number (19) in the Qur’an is Mary. Now let’s end this, next door we are opening a school. The preschool part of it is already open, it is called the University of Islam. What is this University of Islam, preschool in the University? Sure, when you come out of your mothers womb you are born into the universe and as long as you are taught that which pertains to the universe you are in the university. Islam you don’t know what that is, ‘I am not going to send my child to no university of Is lam or Islam.’ If you want to describe what Islam is; we were taught that Islam is Mathematics and Mathematics is Islam . And it stands true that it can be proved at no limit of time. But after learning Islam, ‘after’ you learn it you can secure benefit for yourself. Once you learn how to use mathematics then you can put a blessing on yourself. It is a university its root is mathematics. And as the language of mathematics starts with the number (1) that schools starts with the knowledge of the One God. One (1) God and the number (1) mathematics, when do we start school? Four (4) why do you start at (4) because we want to produce Jesus all over again. Why Jesus, why not Muhammad, we have already produced Muhammad went you produce Jesus. I don’t quite understand I am getting confused. The name Muhammad means one worthy of praise and one praised much. If you can open the eyes of the blind, make the deaf hear, the dumb speak, raise the dead to life, and command the winds, you are worthy of praise and you are Muhammad. You are not Muhammad the Prophet you are after Muhammad the Mahdi. Muhammad the guide because the world is lost and it needs the guide. Whose going to guide the world back, well believe it or not it is you. I want to get into this school, you do, well before you get into the school you have got to come to the mosque because the school is the extension of the mosque. Why did you call it Maryam? Oh it is because I am inviting you into a womb. I am inviting you into “Peach Pyramid ”. I am inviting you into the new Al-Azhar University. I am inviting you to that knowledge that the world has been looking for that was hidden from the wise and the prudent man and revealed unto a babe. I am inviting you to coming into the classroom of God Himself. I am inviting you to mathematics. When I speak it is logical. It is mathematical. It is not spooky, you can touch it, feel it, you can see it, and you can conceptualize it. But we don’t start at (4), I thought you said you start school at (4) well formal education. But there is an informal education that starts in the womb. Now Brother Farrakhan you can’t teach something in the womb, come on Farra-can. Can electricity manifest itself in water? Drop an electrical appliance in the bathtub and see. Will you get a shock? You are enveloped water how will you feel? If you can make it out of there jack you will be alright but most of the time you are dead, is that right? Did you know that there are electrical currents that are in your body? Tell me

16


something, have you ever heard sound under water? Do you think electricity and sound make an impression on a new mind that is forming? Don’t you know that the new mind is like a blackboard with nothing on it. But if you start programming the new mind from the time its starts growing in the womb, start writing on the board. You start by saying, “ Bismillah Al-Rahman Al-Rahim, In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful.” You put Allah (God) in the womb while the baby is being formed. You speak to it, you play good music around it and you put it in a good atmosphere. So with the right music the sound is transmitted though the water into the forming mind. So the education begins at conception. This crazy world arguing over when life begins, its not a personality there we can kill it in the womb, wicked demons. At conception it is a new life, the mother won’t know it until thirty days but when you know you pregnant sister that is a time for you to rejoice and be careful about what you look at and what you hear. You know how it is when you have a cake in the oven, old folks use to tell you don’t stamp around the cake because it will fall. And it would you had to be careful on the outside of the oven when you have got something cooking on the inside. Oh brothers you all have a sperm that can make a God but you have got to clean up. You can send the sperm into a woman and the head of the sperm is damaged like your head is. You are all coked up, spaced out, crack high, and then you want to have sex. You are cracked up, “come on baby” baby stay away from him. Well you are usually cracked up too. So you have an accident there both of you cracked up you have accident in that womb. The baby comes out with its little brains fried up because of your craziness, am I making sense? Do they have a thing called baby aspirin? Sometimes the baby can take a pill you give it drops. You can do the same with mathematics, put it in a dropper put it in your baby. What do you mean put mathematics in a dropper? All I am saying is the baby is a mathematical creation from the very beginning. And it learns and it has a curiosity, you keep wisdom in its environment. And you teach the baby as soon as the baby can learn you teach it. And it can learn when you train it to come away from those diapers it is ready then it is kindergarten not a six year old, a big dummy, six year old moving blocks, six year old you should be figuring out problems. How old are they on the motherplane when they start learning to fly it? What did the Honorable Elijah Muhammad teach us, how old are they? Four (4) years old. What does the number four (4) mean? It means (400) years after you been in bondage, (4,000) years from Moses expect to start a new education. You have been under white people for (400) years and they educated you to be nothing. Now Allah (God) wants to educate you to be a God but you can’t be that until you are broken down in the manner that you were built up and rebuilt. And that is why you need a womb. So Nicodiumus came to Jesus and said, “How can I enter the kingdom of heaven?” And Jesus said to Nicodiumus, “you must be born again.” And Nicodiumus says, “How can I a grown man enter back into my mother’s womb for the second time?” And Jesus gives him a very strange answer, “the wind you know not from where it blows or where it listeth.” And Nicodiumus went away just as silly.

17


Now the word Demo in Greek demo means devil. Demos (demon) Nick Old Nick is another name for Satan. So it is saying that the Caucasian who is called devil came to Jesus and said look we know we are messed up, we know we are wrong, we know we have blown it but how can I get in the kingdom? That is an intelligent question for demos to ask. And Jesus said hey you must be born again. But he said but I can’t go back in my mother’s womb, no you can’t but if you will allow me to take your life you will come alive again in eternal life if you are willing to die. Now wait a minute Jesus please I was going along with you until you talk this stuff about me dying. It does not mean lose your physical life you have got to be willing to die in the mind of a savage in order to come alive in the new mind of a new creature of Allah (God). And when you come to the Caucasian you have to die in the mind of Yacub (in the mind of a beast) in order to come to birth in a new reality. And it starts with a new education. So when you come into Mosque Maryam you are coming into the number (19), there are (19) doors, (19) windows, and (19) arches, heavy man. The number (19) is written all over this building and (24) is in the dome. These (24) represent the (24) scientist who emit light and the light comes down from these scientist. So the Qur’an says, “ And We sent down revelation.” We who? If Allah (God) is One, what are you talking about “We” for? That is something you need to understand. Here it comes the light coming down, look on who, on you. You come into a womb, but it is not dark in here there is a lot of light in here. Yes but there is a lot of darkness in here (your mind). You are already in triple darkness here (in your mind). So the Bible says, “ And the people that walked in darkness have seen a great light.” Are we walking in darkness? When you come into that door, you are coming into a womb. That is why we called it “Maryam” because when you come in here I am pregnant. Farrakhan come on, I am pregnant brothers, I am pregnant sisters, my mind was a void. It had the capacity to hold life but there was no man to make me produce new life until I met the Honorable Elijah Muhammad. And He impregnated my mind with truth. And now I am pregnant with a message that will give birth to “You” as a new people. And that is why the ruling powers see me and you as dangerous. Why is Farrakhan dangerous? Because if He impregnates you with what He is impregnated with you will start growing into a new kind of a man. A man that He won’t be able to deal with. And if you become pregnant with this truth sister, his world is finished because when we teach him we teach an individual. When we teach you we teach a nation. “Mosque Maryam” and as the enemy loves to insult the woman because the woman looks like she is alone. The government is planning against this womb “Mosque Maryam” because he thinks we are alone. So for many days I had on my disguise as I went about feeding the flock. They thought I was someone else, I don’t have to wear the disguise any more because it is too late to stop this. This is gone now, whether I am living or dead it don’t make any differences, in fact I can say I that I will never die. I can’t die, it is impossible to die. What do you mean Farrakhan? I don’t mean this physical body won’t go back to the earth but what I mean is that what I have been birthed into this circle of wisdom that is eternal. And in that circle where my body goes back to the earth that is nothing that is going to happen one of these days.

18


But when you see a man make a dead man hear and talk to a dead man and the dead man stand up and talk to a lame man and he stands up and begins walking again that is not me that is Allah (God) in Me, that can’t die. So let’s go to school. We start you at (4) but have go a preschool over there you can start bring your babies there now. Do not wait as soon as there are potty trained get them over there. You won’t know them 6 months from now. Can they talk? What are they talking? You bring them there and in a few days they will be talking much wisdom. 4 years of age they are ready to start now, not kindergarten but first grade. In fact the Honorable Elijah Muhammad told me that you should be getting out of college with your Doctorate Degree at (16) years of age. What did I say? This is such a commercial world. You make your wife pregnant and the doctor standing there with a 5,000.00 bill because you follow the natural law. And he comes in between you and harvesting the fruit of the womb that you put there and when he harvest it he says, “Oh that will cost you 5,000.00 and she need a Cesarean and that will be 10,000.00.” Just like that man you are in debt up to your neck just from having a baby. This man is something, isn’t he? Keep you in school paying money. It will be 5,000.00 this year and 5,000.00 next year and 5,000.00 the year after and 20,000.00 and you have a BS Degree or a BA or whatever they call it. There will be some more money to get you a Masters Degree come on with it. Then after two years and another 15,000.00 now they confer upon you the title of Master of Art or Master of Science. But that is not enough you have to come back with some more money. And by the time you get your doctorate you need a doctor. Then when you get the degree you come out and can’t use what you learned then you are confused. Now you have a degree in black studies and you to the white man and they say what is that, I can’t use anyone in black studies. I am not black I have a white factory here. Brother and sister this is a trick. The Messenger said the shortest distance between two points was and still is a straight line that means go to the heart of the matter and teach it because the children are able to take it. I want you to study the children, in school they get so jittery, the man say give them a pill to slow them down. If the teach would teach the student would sit there, come on down with it. Have you ever noticed your children asking you questions? I mean big heavy questions, hey mom where did I come from? Now don’t tell me about any stack come on with it. You are afraid to tell your children about life. When they ask the really are ready for a degree of the answer, you just have to know which part of the answer to give to them, how to give it to them but they are ready for knowledge feed them. I say when you get into that university over there oh man you have entered in to “Peach Pyramid” mathematics, engineering, and all of the sciences of life will be taught right next door. We are not waiting until you come out of high school you are going to get it a (4) years old. By the time you get to be (12) you will be ready man. And you know what, if they taught like that you would not be so bored because your minds are able to grasp it just that quick. Don’t you think this man Elijah Muhammad is a pretty powerful man? You are the Jesus that is going to be produced to save the world. And you can do it, you have suffered enough to be ready now to save yourself and others. You have a big job ahead of you and you can’t do it without knowledge.

So Mosque Maryam is like coming into the Pyramid. Mosque Maryam is like being enrolled in the university. Mosque Maryam is like being enrolled in the classroom of God. And so I think that if I were you I would want to stay and get this knowledge. Mosque Maryam I repeat is like coming into the classroom of God. How many of you would like to grow up and be like God? Well let me ask you this, how many of you would like to grow up and be like the Devil? Look at you, your work is destructive and not constructive. How many of you saw the move Karate Kid? Do you remember the old Japanese master and the little Caucasian fellow wanted to study under him right? But he did not understand what he was getting into, he thought the man was going to take him in and start him off on fighting styles and the man gave him a paint brush and said I want you to paint my house. And I want you to paint is with a certain hand rhythm and it may take you a few weeks but you keep at it. And he went away and you can imagine the thoughts going through the boys mind, “this cat is playing me for a chump and when I going to get into Karate, this dude has got me painting his house and making a fool out of me and I am sick of this.” And the teacher came back and he asked the teacher what was he doing that he did not want to be into this. See when you want something as big as being like God there is an initiation that you have got to go through. And that boy did not know that when he was going up and down with that paintbrush that he was learning a wrist movement that would save his life and just that could deal death. But how are you going to tell that boy that when he is just painting the house. How many of you that have been to college have ever joined a fraternity or sorority may I see your hands? When you wanted to join you had to go through what? Initiation, you had to pledge first, you had to give your word and say what? I want to become a Kappa, Alpha, Omega, AKA, Delta, is that right? You made the pledge first then they gave you something to learn so that you know the history of this fraternity. Then you had to speak at least and at least know the Greece alphabet, is that right? Now they came and said ok you got that well it is time now to pledge you are going on secret pro one whole week. The big boys that has been in there a long while they bring paddle in. I mean it is a strange looking paddle, it looks like someone is playing cricket with a strange cricket bat. They want to see if you really want this. And then they call you names out of your name. Yes sir you have got to take it man I want to be in this. I wonder what all of this is about? If you do not give the right answer they say give me 90 means 90 degrees you have got to bend over from your waist and when you bend over from your waist this is a right angle. And they just stand behind you with that paddle and try to drive you as a though you were a baseball into the left field bleachers. And I mean brother some days your backside would be so sore. Some of the brothers would wrap themselves in a towel thinking that is going to make it but when they start whipping on you they get though that towel. Anything you have on they get through it and then sometimes they make you take it off because you are cheating then. You know I wanted to be an Omega. So I pledged and they called me a lamp. And I learned everything that they gave me to learn I learned it real quick. But when it came time for the rights of initiation some of them didn’t like me, I played the violin and I sang and all the girls liked me so some of them didn’t like me. Now it is their time to get even. Well sister and brother they worked me over but I did not break one time because my mind was

20


made up I am going to be an Omega and I don’t care what they say or what they do to me I am going to make it. They blindfold you and run you into trees. Now you go through a lot when you want to belong to something. And then after I did one week of that one of my professors through a little black ball and said we don’t want him as an Omega. They tried to break me during the secret rights of initiation and I wouldn’t break they thought that if they whipped me like that I would quit. But them more they whipped me the more determined I was, “ You are not going to break me”. And then when they couldn’t break me that blackballed me. I never cried before I only cried when they blackballed me because I wanted it so bad. But Allah (God) didn’t want me to be no part of that foolishness. Now today they want to give me the pin of an Omega and I said no man I don’t want that. I got mine in my lapel, I wear it on my shoulder I am carrying the universe, I don’t need that. Now if you want to be God you have got to be a strong willed man and woman. You cannot be no sissy, and if you are don’t worry that gets straighten out here too. You can’t produce Jesus and be a woman that is not willing to sacrifice something for Allah (God). What are you getting at Farrakhan? When I became a Muslim if you had told me that one-day I would be sitting in the seat of the Honorable Elijah Muhammad and standing up over his people by Allah’s and His permission. I would have called you a hypocrite and fought you because I would have believed that you were a crazy man. I didn’t come here for his seat and I didn’t come here to be no leader. I came because I recognized that Elijah Muhammad was the man I had been looking for all of my life. And I had not been in the Mosque 30days when I was tested. I was playing in nightclubs and the Honorable Elijah Muhammad sent down a decree through Malcolm X, either you get out of the night club, get out of your music or get out of the Mosque. I say man I did my music all my life and I have never worked days. I mean look brothers I am not throwing off on anyone that works but when you work in a factory and work hard for 8 hours and come up with 12.00. No wonder young people will go and sell drugs because you are not offering anyone anything. You are exploiting their labor for nothing. So I would rather sing but man he told me to give it up. And I gave it up. When I came in the Mosque you came in to become a soldier, a soldier for Allah and they trained me. I loved the military. Next thing I knew I was a lieutenant and then I was a captain but I didn’t know what I was going to run into. Because if you really want to grow up to become like God you have to be able to take a lot. Because your own people are going to give up more then you are willing to take. You have got to go out and save black people. And when you go to talk to your own people they will say look man where are you coming from, you can’t tell me nothing. They will not only get in your face but they will get in your collar. And if you can’t take it you can’t grow. The rights of initiation into the classroom of Allah (God) is to be able to weather all the storms of life itself. And let me tell you brothers and sisters you never stop being tried. And right now I am under the greatest trial of my life. I did not know that just by believing in the truth white folks and the government was going to be angry with me. Now I knew they were angry with the Honorable Elijah Muhammad because he was the leader. But was just a young minister and woke up in the middle of the

21


night and my house is on fire. Some one threw gasoline bombs at my front door and in the front window and around the side door and around the backdoor, they did not want me to get out there alive and I have a wife and at that time I think I had 4 or 5 children. I may have had 6 at that time. And look brothers and sisters I didn’t come here to die at that time I came to live do you know what I mean? I didn’t know that I had to go through that kind of thing. And here I was in the dead of the night sleep and smoke and fire everywhere and my wife ran down to the backdoor and I am garbing the children. I had them all in two hands, see I want to tell you, when it is time for you to do what you don’t think you can do Allah (God) gives you the strength to do what has to be done. Now look came down and I thought had 6 but when I came down my wife was counting them. And she said one is missing and I had to run back up in the smoke to get my daughter Maria she had slipped out of my hand. And then the money of the Mosque was up in a file cabinet in a safe. Now the fire was raging but the way I was taught, I was taught to die to protect the pennies, dimes and dollars of the poor people. That is the way I was trained. Because you can’t tell them that they money got lost they are not going to believe you. so it is better to going on and die they will believe you then. So can you imagine me challenging flames I have got my children out, it wasn’t no big money back then it was probably about 700.00 or 800.00 but that is a lot of money back in 1955 or 1956. So I am challenging flames now to get the money but the heat and smoke was so much I couldn’t get the money. So I had to wait outside the door and the fireman came and put the fire out but I am watching the fire. The minute the fire was out I ran upstairs and got in the safe and got the little 700.00 or so and put it in a pillowcase and was taking it around to my friends house. And I am walking down the street and the tears are running down my eyes and I am talking to the God. And I say, “ Allah I never knew I had to go through this but if this is what I have to go through for the sake of the truth I am willing to got through it.” So the police came “Farrakhan” I was not Farrakhan then I was Louis X “Louis” seems like you have got a lot of enemies who do you think did this to you. I said I don’t know. Well don’t you have knowledge of your enemies because they may not miss next time. He is hoping that I may be dead you see. You don’t know what it is like to have children and you have to train your children to roll out of the bed if they hear gun fire because Muslims in those days to be a Muslim was hard. These older Muslims that you see around here man when you see them you need to take your hat off because they had a faith man. It was hard to be a Muslim because the whole world was down on you. Your mother didn’t like you because she thought you had run out on Jesus and your father didn’t want you and your friends didn’t want you and your family turned you down, you are all alone. Everyone is against you it is just you and Allah (God) and your friends in the Nations. But if you want to grow into Allah (God) you have got to be able to withstand adversity . You can’t be no punk and be a God. Well I would join but my wife she told me if I joined she would leave me. Tell her leave tonight! And help her pack her bags. Ain’t no woman alive worth the truth. And don’t threaten me woman who the hell do you think you are. This is God’s we are dealing with

22


now. When I am looking for God all of my life don’t come to me with no foolishness. If I found God then leave me alone woman I want to be a man and that is the only thing you can love. You can’t love no little boy so why not let God make a man out of him. And some of you old crazy men, she coming here to hear the teaching and want to lower the hem of her garment. What do you want you woman out there showing all of her finery for anyway? You are so crazy. You take this fine woman into a bar room and dress her in something so tight that dogs start hollowing when she walks by. And Mr. Muhammad want to dress her decent and you say, “I don’t think you should go down there them people aw I am leaving you baby.” Don’t take no threat from no man. God is supreme in your life woman not him. Some of the woman like to give the men ultimatums and some of the men like to give the woman ultimatums when they say that want live right. That is a shame, these young people that go home and their parents persecute them. Here is a mother 60 years old with a mini dress on, she has go more holes in her legs then dimples in a nation full of children and she got on some mini skirt. What in the hell is wrong with you do you think some man want to look at them old beat up thighs? And even if you don’t think they are beat up why show them away? Ain’t nobody going to make no old granny out of me no they make mama out of you and they can’t make no grandma out of you because that is all know is a bunch of babies and no man around. We have got to put a stop to this madness. Man if you love a woman more then you love Allah (God) they will take you to hell brother. You don’t put nothing no one ahead of God. And you don’t put your husband ahead of Allah (God). God is number 1 and if he don’t like you submitting to God he is not the only man that ever lived. Well I got all of these babies and who is going to take care of me? The same God that feed the sparrow, and buzzard. These are excuses so you really don’t want to be what you say you want to be because you don’t want to suffer no difficulty. I think I really want to become like God. The Qur’an say it is none like Him and that is true but I can try to be as Godly as a human being can be and manifest as much power as I am capable of manifesting so that I can change the reality under which we live. You should be doing the same thing but brother if you can’t take something if you can’t soldier for Allah (God) if you are too cowardly and weak man. Then you better get over here this will make a man out of you. Because I was a musician man, men ain’t musicians soft. Man when I came into this boy, I was not into this 6 months and I was challenging the world. I saw two police out there beating one of my sisters and I ran and jumped in all by myself and stopped these police from beating this young girl. I didn’t even know what I was doing all I knew is that he was beating my sister. She was not my blood sister but she was just one of my people. And they were so shocked to see a black boy jump in to stop them from beating a black woman they automatically stopped because they did not see any fear in my eyes. I said don’t you bother her I said I am coming right down behind you to the station so you better not touch her. And the station was about 8 blocks away and I ran all the way to the police station. I did not go with no army just me and God. And I walked on in the police station and said hey brother look. Faith in Allah (God) is what makes a man out of you! 23


I said two of your men were beating this young girl. They said what hand were they beating her with? I said look man I don’t know what hand he was beating her with and don’t ask me no foolish question. I said if I shot a man you are not going to ask me what hand I held the gun in, I shot him that is all. You know when I got out of it I said man I was kind of crazy. But faith will make you like that. And growing into this faith brothers and sisters I took what came down the road for me and because I took what came down the road it grew me in strength and character. And this is what you have got to understand when you become a Muslim. When you come into this there is not going to be an easy road. It is just like following the master it is not going to be easy but if it was easy everyone could do it. The scriptures say, “Many are called but few are chosen.” So I think it is time for us to go to school now and become a new creature. I want to be a new Blackman. I want to be the kind of man that my wife will love and honor and respect as a man of knowledge and character and strength. You are not that at first; you grow into that brother. When I came into the Mosque Malcolm X was the teacher, what a strong man. All the sisters just adored Malcolm X but they didn’t adore Malcolm because his name was Malcolm. They adore Malcolm because in Malcolm they saw strength that they didn’t see in their husband. And my wife was one of those who adored Malcolm, she didn’t think too much of me, truth is something isn’t it. But I just stayed in the classroom and kept on growing and the more I grew the stronger I grew. And then when my brother Malcolm stumbled I went to him to try to hold him up, he was my teacher. And then when he didn’t want to stay anymore and he left well Malcolm made his decision. I made a decision to stay with the Honorable Elijah Muhammad. I hated to see Malcolm assassinated like that and the government had their hands in it. And then when the Messenger was gone Imam Muhammad took the nation in such away that that the old Muslims begin to wonder whether what they were taught was the truth. And the nation just fell down. Some people say Farrakhan tried to rebuild the nation because he wanted someone give him some money. I say you are crazy man. Don’t know one in their right mind want to fool with you all just for a few dollars. And then anger the white man and government too for a few dollars, I could sing and play and get those few dollars. To rob you of what, what do you have that someone can rob you of? You have lost your sense, come on brother this is not about robbery. And when I started to rebuild this work I was nervous and a little frighten to tell you the truth because it seem like didn’t no one like Elijah Muhammad anymore. And just for me to mention his name people start looking at me funny. So I went underground and went to work. Ten (10) years later here we are and I don’t have to go underground anymore jack. There is an growing army of black men all over America they are not in the Mosque but they are with me. And women too the same way. Now the government wants to stop me but they don’t know how. Just like they wanted to do against Jesus. I am trying to be a good follower see I know what they did to the master so I am ready by Allah (God) grace. And when they come watch I mean Allah (God) lifted me up for you to look at me. And then the Messenger told you, “look at him and when he speaks listen to him.”

24


Why did you say that dear Apostle, because I am going to stir the enemy against my man. The whole government is against him but look at it. Does he look frighten or worried? You look more worried then I do. You are worried about paying a bill and here is a government planning against me and I am not worried. What do I know that I must teach you? That there is no God but Allah and you don’t have to fear this white man, God is here to make you victorious. Stand up and be yourself. This is not bragging Sunday I am just making a statement of fact. They are plotting right now and when the F.O.I. came with me just a couple of weeks ago to the University of Maryland that wanted to kill us out there. But only Allah stopped them. The F.O.I. was so fearless it spooked the horses. These are horses trained for crowd control but the F.O.I. just was strong. I saw this once before in Baltimore when the Honorable Elijah Muhammad was speaking there. They brought these attack dogs out in front of the Mosque and when the police was trying to pull the dogs out of the car the dogs was “er er er” the dogs would not come out. The dogs sense death in us for them because they can sense fear and they did not find any fear in the men and women of God. They did not come out of that truck either. And I imagine when they went downtown they said, “ these are the strangest Negro’s we have ever seen in our lives.” So after they tried that stuff in Maryland in my next speech I said to Mr. Bush I said sir because you all tried to do me harm and us harm and God didn’t permit it I said I want you to check the weather for the next 90 days. And I said God will give you a sign of his power to destroy you in the twinkling of an eye. And after that 90 days is up if you still want to go through with your plan against me go ahead and Allah (God) will destroy you all. Now look I am just little brother I don’t have no power to control no wind and rain but I know those who do. They back me yes man if I were we out here on my own I would be scared to death with the things I am saying. And look the weather got so mean, it is suppose to be spring and it started snowing and hailing. It started ripping up Virginia all the way into Maryland where they had planned their attack. And in the home of Mr. Bush I think he say it is Texas last week tow it up over a half a billion dollars of military hardware wiped out with just some water. Tornadoes come right on through and tore up all of the helicopters expensive ones too. Down in Texas flooding out white folks. Black folk where you live just a little drip or drop here and there. I wonder how Mr. Bush is thinking now? I bet we look insignificant but brother we are not insignificant there is a God with us. And what I am trying to say to you young brothers you don’t need any gun put the guns up. You need your God. You come on man and get involved in the training of yourself and grow up into the power of who and what you are. And then let us go out of Mosque Maryam like Jesus came out of the womb of Mary, let us come out of the mosque and go on out into the world and teach and train our people and save our people and then save humanity. You can do it. Thank you for listening, may Allah bless you as I greet you in peace;
