Master Fard Muhammad

"Who is the Original Man?"

The Honorable Elijah Muhammad

"The Original Man is the Asiatic Black Man, the Maker, the Owner, the Cream of the Planet Earth and the God of the Universe."

   

"...Let us stop right there; so many of us in hearing the Honorable Elijah Muhammad state this would say,
"Oh this man is racist. Or this man is teaching Black supremacy." This is an emotional reaction.
Since we live in a world built up on White supremacy. We live in a world that glorifies Whiteness,
lightness, brightness and a world that plays down anything that is dark or black, is that right?"

In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful.

   

1. Nay, I swear by the day of resurrection

2. Nay, I swear by the self-accusing spirit 2606

3. Does man think that We shall not gather his bones?

4. Yea, We are Powerful to make complete his whole make..."

-Surah 75:1-4-
Holy Qur'an, Muhammad Ali Translation

   

Note that Verse 2 of Surah 75, Al-Qiyamah (The Resurrection),
is explained in footnote 2606 as indicating a spiritual resurrection.
The rising to life of the spiritually dead and the Great Resurrection are one and the same.
And the first stage in our spiritual resurrection occurs through the stimulation of our
self-accusing spirit: that is, when the inner voice speaks, guides, warns, reproves, exhorts
and accuses us of going contrary to what is right.

If you will notice, this inner voice does the work of a Messenger of Allah (God).
Would you knowingly kill one of Allah's (God's) prophets or messengers?
What would be the punishment if you did?

Everytime we act to still the voice of correction, coming from within ourselves,
we are in fact murdering the Messenger of Allah (God).
The result is spiritual blindness, leading to spiritual death,
leading ultimately to an untimely physical death.

"Now the broadest facts array the most false lies against themselves; for they bring error from undercover. It requires courage to offer truth, courage such as my Brother, Jesus had. You see the higher Truth lifts her voice, the louder will error scream; until its inarticulate sound is forever silenced in oblivion."

-Master Fard Muhammad-

"Almighty God to Whom Praise is Due Forever, in the Person of Master Fard Muhammad demands you and me today to prove that God is such thing that has been taught to you and me, some kind of spirit or spook. He demands us to prove these things. He demands our teachers who have deceived us to prove such teachings, as God is something other than man. His appearance. His name should have taught us that God is a Man. His Name, the pronoun used for Masculine, should have taught us that God is a Man. His hearing. His seeing. And His thinking. And His revealing things to us in our language and His tender care for us. And His part taken in our affairs should have taught us that God is a Man. He sees. He hears. He knows. He acts like we and He is a Person. His wisdom is taught to us, Whom He pleases. He is a Man. The Son of Man. Why is mentioned as The Son of Man, instead of just saying A Man shall sit and Judge the Nations of the World? But why He's referred to as Son of Man? It is to teach us this lesson. That He is part of a made man and part of an Original man, who had no beginning, nor ending. He's part of the two. He's part of the people, Whom He comes to Judge and to destroy. And He's part of the people that He comes to Save. This gives Him that particular good and merciful love for that people, the Aboriginal People of Whom He is part of. It gives Him that anger and that warlike spirit and that merciful like spirit of the enemy, whom He's part of. As you see it in the Bible, He's made from both."

"You know, it's not unreal to believe that white people - who genetically cannot produce yellow, brown or black
- had a black origin. The scholars and scientists of this world agree that the origin of man and mankind
started in Africa and that the first parent of the world was black. The Qur'an says that God created Adam
out of black mud and fashioned him into shape. So if white people came from the original people,
the black people, what is the process by which you came to life? That is not a silly question.
That is a scientific question with a scientific answer. It doesn't suggest that we are superior
or that you are inferior. It suggests, however, that your birth or your origin is from the black people
of this earth; superiority and inferiority is determined by our righteousness and not by our color."
