O u r greatest d e a r e , this aftern o o n , is t o b r i n g y o u u p t o d a t e with truth and tell you what A l l a h has o f f e r e d t o u s f o r a f u t u r e ! T h e F u t u r e of the People t h a t w e r e lost h e r e a b o u t 400 years ago.

T h e Bible teaches y o u that on the coming of God, H e w i l l call y o u after a name of H i s o w n . T h i s is n o w b e i n g d o n e . I d i d n ' t always, or have not always been called " M u h a m m a d . " G o d gave me this name. There are plenty of enemies w h o w o u l d like that y o u t h i n k that I chose this n a m e for myself. T h e i r desire is t o keep you thinking that there isn't any G o d or a D i v i n e P o w e r w o r k i n g for me. I didn't give m y s e l f these names. F i r s t I w a s called' " K a r r i e m , " a n d later o n God's departure, H e said I should be called " M u h a m m a d . " These names are a l l f r o m H i m . I k n e w nothing about Islam. I k n e w nothing about the name " M u h a m m a d . " I h a d n o t b e e n schooled i n any such knowledge. B u t today I bear witness that God H i m s e l f is p r e s e n t ! Condemned

T h e r e are m a n y people who would like that you think that G o d ."s a s p i r i t a n d H e h a s n o f o r m . T h i s false t h o u g h t is a l l condemned by His universe.

W e cannot deny the t r u t h for the sake of friendship a m o n g the falsehood. The Holy Q u r a n teaches y o u a n d me. " D o not mix up the t r u t h with falsehood .while y o u know." E l i j a h j u s t can't do t h a t . E l i j a h has been raised among y o u to tell y o u t h e t r u t h of that w h i c h j ' o u do n o t k n o w .

W e are h e r e at the t i m e of a n e w d a y . A n e w S u n is t o r i s e . We are here to testify to the truth that the old must give-way for the new. We cannot have the Islam that t h e y had in Moses' time. I t was fitting for his time. W e cannot expect the Islam that Jesus t a u g h t two t h o u s a n d y e a r s ago.

W e cannot expect the same Islam that M u h a m m a d t a u g h t 1400 y e a r s ago because i t is a d i f f e r e n t t i m e a n d a different people ^ 1 together.

THE WORLD OF TRAVEL: The red, white and black emblem of the United Arab Airlines (national airline of E g y p t ) will soon become a familiar sight to travelers at N e w York's International Airport. The airline plans to inaugurate its TransAtlantic service ( f r o m N e w Y o r k to Cairo, via London) sometime this year . . . Whereas the U n i t e d A r a b A i r l i n e s w i l l be the first "national flag-carrier of an A r a b country" to operate regularly scheduled flights to A m e r i c a , i t is n o t t h e first a i r l i n e of a M U S LIM nation to serve the U n i t e d States. T h e l a t t e r d i s t i n c t i o n belongs to the Pakistan International Airlines, which started its Trans-Atlantic service last year.

The bann e r , w h i c h also represents the national f l a g of S a u d i A r a b i a , appears o n the Jetliner's tail, painted i n green and w h i t e . . . It was the same Jetliner that recently carried H is Majesty King Saud al-Saud, after his several-week visit to this c o u n t r y for medical purposes, f r o m N e w Y o r k to Riyadh (the Saudi A r a b Capital).

T h a t was, a good w o r k i n g d e f i n i t i o n of the w o r d "success" and the k n o w l e d g e of the k e y to success. I b e g a n putting forth m a x i m u m efforts to incorporate these gems of w i s d o m i n t o m y d a i l y l i f e . I b e c a m e so o b s e s s e d that I felt that I should share this indispensable knowledge w i t h each a n d every one with w h o m I came i n contact. One day w h i l e I was attempting to i/tdoctrinate a y o u n g m a n with my success formula, a strange paradox occurred. This young m a n had the audacity to tell me that I had no knowladge of self a n d t h a t due to such state of ignorance there c o u l d be no r e a l success f o r m e .

My efforts availed me naught, since none of m y complicated arguments could compete w i t h t h e s i m p l e a n d logical facts presented to m e b y this y o u n g man. A few days later he i n v i t e d me to visit Muhammad's Mosque in S a c r a m e n t o , C a l i f o r n i a , w h e r e I c o u l d m a k e some amazing discoveries f o r m y s e l f a n d ask a n y questions t h a t I m i g h t desire.

LET'S PRETEND

It is usually t h e case w i t h most people to expect more than they can give and to misunderstand the value of what they have received. T h u s , i n this p e c u l i a r position, the chances of losing everything that one maypossess is at stake. I t should appear, at this point i n history, that the peoples of a l l nations are freedom conscious, a freedom w h i c h i s not confined to t h e social, political and economic aspects alone b u t i t i s f a r deeper than this and involves the struggle of peoples to become mentally free i n order to regain the concepts of truth w h i c h define their v e r y existence. So-called Negroes believe that the w a y to w i n their freedom struggle i s through the forced integration of the two races. B l a c k and White. T h e so-called Negroes, who follow this road, are headed for destruction and have no allies or supports and more critical, i n the case of the black integrationists, is t h e fact that G o d , Himself, is not o n their side. A c c o r d i n g to what w e have been taught, b y God's Spokesman, s u c h neurotic so-called Negroes are i n line for great chastisement from the G o d of our F a t h e r s and of o u r F a t h e r s ' F a t h e r s w h o h a s declared through H i s Mouthpiece, " S e p a r a t i o n o f D e a t h . "

WARNING ENOUGH

W h e n is enough w a r n i n g enough to a people w h o have rejected the donor of our salvation and h a v e c r u s h ed h i s precious gifts of t r u t h l i k e pearls beneath the hooves of hogs? W h e n w i l l o u r people meet t h e real responsibilities that face o u r nation? W h e n w i l l o u r people offer their services, talents and ingenuity to the cause of national a n d international advancement? A r e w e , as a race, too lazy, unfit for independence, l a c k i n g the intelligence to acquire and to maintain r a c i a l stability and u n i t y ? W h a t are y o u r excuses for hiding behind a dying white figure head?

PERFECT

LEADERSHIP

W e now have the most perfect leadership possible, for w e have the D i v i n e B a c k i n g and Protection of G o d , Himself. T h e r e is h a r d l y one person who has not h e a r d the teachings of t h e Honorable E l i j a h M u h a m m a d . W e now have sufficient evidence of the w o r k i n g power of the so-called Negro leadership from M a r t i n L u t h e r K i n g to the whole r a n k and file of the integration conscious black m e n of this country i n contrast to t h e d y n a m i c leadership of the Honorable E H j a h M u h a m m a d w h o h a s a program that makes m e n out of boys a n d w o m e n out of girls. T h e cards are on the table and a l l the hands have been played, w i t h the exception of yours, and. it is now the time to say, " I t ' s y o u r m o v e ! "
