PURPOSE
Original Nation Magazine was conceived by faithful and humble followers of the principles and
practices of Islam as taught by the Honorable Elijah Muhammad, the Messenger of Allah (God).
Writings in this periodical shall consist of thoughts of Black Men and Black Women (Original Muslims) – those who bear witness that Allah (God), the Supreme Being, came in the Person of Master
W. F. Muhammad and raised Messenger Elijah Muhammad as the Divine Leader, Teacher and Guide
for us all.
Journey with us as we explore the profound realm of wisdom, knowledge and understanding that evolves from the ORIGINAL NATION – divine reality that encompasses
some 78 trillion years of ever-present existence and principled accomplishment.
Islam, as brought to the Hells of North America by Allah, Master Fard Muhammad, and
taught for some 40 years by His Messenger, the Honorable Elijah Muhammad, is that
which gives vision to all who accept their own and join on to their own kind.
We propose to continue to develop a new mind (body of thoughts and ideas) among
Black people in America and also throughout the world (earth). We, the Muslims, pray to
Allah, Master Fard Muhammad, through His Messenger, the Honorable Elijah Muhammad,
that we are granted success in this and every other righteous endeavor we undertake.

In this issue of the Original Nation magazine (beginning in the center spread)
you will find another must-read article
by Messenger Elijah Muhammad that is
titled ―THE FALL AND BREAK UP OF
THE OLD WORLD.” Here the Messenger explains the meaning of the
Prophet Daniel’s vision of a statue that
possessed a head of gold, breast of
silver, legs of iron and feet of miry clay.
Again, we thank all who participated in
the three-day Saviour’s Day week of
activities which were once again held in
the Richmond, Virginia area. A review

The Muslim farm program of going
back to the good earth is gearing up for
the Spring of this year; we plan to produce a bigger and better yield as well
as secure increased participation in this
on-going project. A report on this year’s
start-up along with pictures appears in
this issue-beginning on pages 16 -17.

In the Name of Allah, Who came in
the Person of Master Fard
Muhammad to Whom praise is forever
due, and in the name of His Last and
Greatest Messenger, the Most
Honorable Elijah Muhammad. AsSalaam-Alaikum.
Discipline Necessary In Managing
Your Finances
The first important fact one must acquire in becoming successful-on this
topic–is discipline. The Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad teaches that
“discipline is a form of training that
develops self-control, character, orderliness and efficiency that builds
manners, passion and respect.” When
one studies the words of the Messenger's definition of discipline and applies or practices the meanings, one
will be able to organize a structure
which will benefit self and kind.
Make sure that your on-going income
is more than your bills, and other necessary expenses. Next, it is advised to
arrange and log or list these on a calendar according to due dates. It is
also important to mail your bills (if
mailing applies) at least seven days in
advance-due to postal service and
accounting department operations, to
be sure they are paid on time. Paying
bills on time will avoid late fees as well
as bad credit.
Establishing good credit means one is
trustworthy; not just in making a loan
with a white devil, but with your own
kind. The Messenger teaches his students/followers not to create any
debts if you can not pay them, and
pay them on time!
Learn To Apply Extra Payments
Toward The Principle Amount
Here is advice for credit card bills
which is another form of debt: It is
beneficial for you as a customer to
pay more than the minimum amount
due, if you are able. By paying the
minimum amount due and any finance
charges one will pay off debt earlier to
avoid more finance or interest charges.
One can indicate that any monies paid
over and above the minimum amount
due must be applied to paying down
the principle amount of the loan-i.e.
apply towards principle.
The Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad teaches that food, clothing and
shelter are our three basic needs. In a
safe and secure home budget these
basic needs require many necessary
expenses which are listed below:
1. Homeowners or renters insurance
2. Life Insurance
3. Automobile: auto insurance, tags,
stickers, taxes, inspection
(depending on residency), gas
The Messenger teaches us and emphasizes the importance of saving our
hard earned income as we spend it on
our needs and not on our wants. We
all want nice material things, but the
question should be- ―Do I really need
this? The Messenger has provided for
us instructions on savings in one of
his textbooks titled ―Message to The
Blackman In America‖. The topic, titled ―Economic Program‖ is located on
pages 192 thru 205. He teaches us
we can save our monies by not eating
out frequently at devil establishments
as this often leads to doctor and hospital bills. We must stop wasting our
income on the celebration of any white
peoples (devils) holidays, for none of
them apply to Black people.
The Messenger also teaches us that
we should stop trying to live like millionaires, purchasing expensive automobiles and clothing before a nice
home. There is much more, but just
remember a tip to learn what our Messenger wants us to practice with our
income; “save some and spend
some, so when you need some you
will have some.” Trust self by saving
your money at home and paying self
an interest you will be able to continue
on a regular basis. We can benefit self
and kind when applying these ―Tips
On Building A Safe and Secure Home
Budget‖. As-Salaam-Alaikum!

A Moment In The History Of The Nation of Islam
...When Muslim Men Had To
Search For And Recover The
Actual Facts/Armageddon
Board
WANTED: Writers, Cartoon Artists, Advertisers, and Salespersons for
the ORIGINAL NATION MAGAZINE.
This is a quarterly publication of the
Nation of Islam.
By Brother Kamau Islam
In the Name of Allah, Master Fard
Muhammad, and in the name of His
Messenger, the Most Honorable Elijah
Muhammad. As-Salaam-Alaikum.
The Actual Facts or Armageddon
Board was conceived and designed
by the Honorable Elijah Muhammad
and constructed by Muslim Brothers
who were his early followers in the
Nation of Islam in Washington, D. C.
(the Capital of the United States of
America).
Afterwards, those who attended any
Muhammad’s Temple of Islam in any
area across North America could witness (see) and be taught from this
board by Messenger Elijah Muhammad or any of his Ministers. This practice continued from the early days of
Islam up until the 1970’s.
Actual Facts Board
Stolen and Hidden
According to an early follower and
former Minister of Messenger Muhammad who served in Richmond, Virginia
at Muhammad's Temple of Islam #24,
the Original Actual Facts board was
constructed by him and other brothers
in his back yard at his home residence
in Washington, D.C.. Upon its completion the Messenger began to use this
board as an effective teaching tool in
the Temple. Some visitors who attended the Muslim meetings saw how effective this was so in the absence of
the Messenger and other Believers,
they secretly had the board removed
from the building and hidden in an
unknown place. Upon returning to
hold a meeting the Messenger noticed
the board missing and mentioned to
the brotherhood that he needed the
board as it helped him to effectively
conduct services. The brothers began
a search and recover missioneventually finding it (the board) hidden
and stored in an alley in a garage. The
board was returned to its rightful place
and remained as an effective teaching
tool in all Temples under the Messenger’s guidance.
Messenger Muhammad Warns His
Followers Of On-Coming Destruction
All contributors to this publication must
be members in good standing with an
identifiable Muhammad’s Temple of
Islam under the guidance of the teachings of The Honorable Elijah Muhammad, the Messenger of Allah. If
there is no Temple in your area you
must have an acceptable relationship
with the closest to you.
At present we are developing a staff
and a budget to sustain production,
and eventually ways to compensate
contributors financially and otherwise.
Deadline for all materials for the
next issue is Sunday, September 15,
2013.
On Sunday June 18th, 1972 at Muhammad’s Temple of Islam #2 in Chicago, Illinois during his Theology of
Time Series, Messenger Muhammad
stated: “...I want you to hear me,
because you don’t have next year Make contact and send all articles and
(1973) and the year after next (1974) materials to:
to come out and hear this, you betMuhammad’s Temple of
ter make up your mind today.”
Islam #24
The Muslims and the general public
began to see and experience the dismantling of the Nation of Islam, including the removal of the Actual Facts
Board from the Temple, the destruction of the teachings of Islam as well
as the destruction of the Temple itself.
As-Salaam-Alaikum.

The
SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY
OF
Self-Defense
By Brother Hakeeme Muhammad
In the Name of Allah, Who Came
in the Person of Master Fard
Muhammad, and in the name of
His Messenger, the Honorable Elijah Muhammad. As-SalaamAlaikum.
The highest technology and science component of the human
family is the Original Blackman
and the Original Blackwoman. In
original science the highest degree of intelligence is body
(physical), mind (mental thought
processes) and spirit (the energy
generated from the person). The
Asiatic Blackman is the Original
Man of the planet earth and also
God of the Universe. Real technology teaches us that all colors
(people) come from Black.
The Science Of Original Person
And Creation
Messenger Elijah Muhammad
teaches us, from Allah in the Person of Master Fard Muhammad,
that the Supreme Being originated Himself, beginning from the
first atom of science in the vast
darkness of space; this action
eventually manifested the original
galaxy that continues to grow our
universe. Today we measure it as
some 18 quintillion miles.
There are approximately 20 billion
nerve cells (called neurons) in the
nervous system. There are two
types of cells found in the peripheral nervous system. The peripheral nervous system consists of
afferent or sensory neurons and
efferent or motor neurons. The
afferent nerve cells (from the
Latin-meaning “toward”, and ferre, meaning “to bring”) carry sensory information from the peripheral to the central nervous system. They have their cell bodies
in ganglia and send a process into
the central nervous system. The
efferent nerve cells (from the
Latin ex, meaning “away from”
and ferre, meaning to bring) carry
information away from the central nervous system to the effectors (muscles and tissues). They
have cell bodies in the central
nervous system and send axons
into the periphery.
White Blood Cells
Aid In Fighting Disease
Your body is a science and technology voltage energy divided by
current (R=V/I). Where are white
blood cells stored? This is also a
science. Most of the white blood
cells in the body (is technology)
are stored in connective tissues or
lymphatic organs. The white
blood cells are released in response to areas of invasion by
pathogens or injury.
The White Blood Cell Count
Decreases Slightly In The Elderly
The truth as taught by Allah, in
the Person of Master Fard Muhammad, is that the Black Nationthe Original Man and Woman–
the Lost-Found Nation is Mathematics and Science. Knowledge of
Islam is the first “How To Eat To
Live”-in the light of the Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad-live forever! At birth, a newborn has a
higher white blood cell count
(9,000 and above). Examples are
such as that a man breaths 3 cubic feet of air in one hour and
thought travels at the rate of
speed of 24 billion miles per second. As the child grows this number (Of white blood cells) falls to
adult levels (4,500 to 10,000 cells
per cubic millimeters of blood)
within two weeks of birth. The
total white blood cell count decreases slightly in the elderly.
The sun (position wise) is the center of the solar system. The Earth
is the Original planet in all of the
Creation. We have our moon and
there are other planets with
moons, and there are stars. Body
platelets are very small-1,575 X10
-3 INCHES (0.004 millimeters) in
diameter and 3.9X 10 inches
(0.001 millimeters) thick. The Supreme Wisdom of Allah is taught
to us in Islam. The function of
platelets include: 1. transport of
enzyme and proteins critical to
clotting and 2. formation of a
platelet plug to slow blood loss;
contraction of a clot after it has
formed which then reduces the
size of the vessel break. The technology component though is in
that area of the circuit break. AsSalaam-Alaikum.

The Urgent Need For
A Nation of Islam
Law Conference
By Brother John X
In the Name of Allah, Master Fard
Muhammad, and in the name of
His Last Messenger, the Honorable Elijah Muhammad. As-Salaam
-Alaikum.
The Restricted Laws Of Islam
Are Our Success
The state (condition) of the socalled Negro in America has
reached crisis proportion, thereby
keeping alive and compelling the
need for a Nation of Islam Law
Conference. The strict rules, laws,
and guidelines which we who are
Messenger Muhammad‟s true followers possess, must be obeyed
and carried out-they are beyond a
doubt, our success. Therein lies
the need to confer periodically
(whenever needed) by way of a
law conference with other Muhammad‟s Temples of Islam to
further our continued success.
Proper understanding insures
proper conduct and proper assessment of our daily lives.
When correctly understood and
applied, law may be defined as
“the system of rules established by
organized society (Islam), performance of which it enforces or
breach of which it punishes.” It is
the coercive character of its rules
that distinguishes law from custom. Those in attendance must
have clear minds, capable of analyzing and organizing any confused set of facts.
The results of a Nation of Islam
Law Conference should bring
about mutual understanding as to
what must be done and the time(s)
in which it must be done. AsSalaam-Alaikum.

If It’s Light You Want…
Let Food
Be Thy
Medicine
By
Brother Hakeem
Muhammad
In the Name of Allah, Who Came in the
Person of Master Fard Muhammad, and
of His Last and Greatest Messenger, the
Honorable Elijah Muhammad. As-Salaam
-Alaikum.
The above title, ―Let Food Be Thy
Medicine‖ is by no means a newly
coined phrase. It has been said and
used over and over, over a long period of time. Its meaning or reference to
living without a number of ailments
has not been explored by the general
populous. Its meaning is also rarely
promoted by persons in the medical
profession who are the many, treating
illnesses of their many patients. So,
why is the statement made with certain importance? How is food relevant
to our health, good or bad? Why is it
stated to let food be your medicine?
Can food really serve as our medicine? Can it replace the drugs manufactured and given for illnesses? And,
if food can replace prescribed medication offered in the medical circles then
why is this not the case?
What We Eat Keeps Us Here, And
What We Eat Takes Us Away
There are many questions to be answered. The Honorable Elijah Muhammad has said many times ―what we
eat keeps us here and what we eat
takes us away‖. This statement is a
direct reference to the importance of
eating the proper foods - to sustain life
and to promote good health. Foods
also serve as a hindrance to many
ailments. It also serves as a cure for a
number of ailments that many of our
people now suffer. Some of those we
hear most often with our people include hypertension, high cholesterol,
heart disease and diabetes.
The Honorable Elijah Muhammad's
statement is one that forces us to look
deeper into his teachings on ―how to
eat to live,‖ which is also the title of
two of his great books (How To Eat To
Live, Books 1 and 2). He teaches on a
number of foods that we should eat
and gives us the proper way they
should be prepared as well as the
time of day to eat. Food is the fuel that
we take in to provide energy to sustain
us. It is also the substance we take in
that also causes a number of the ailments that we suffer. This is primarily
due to the types, manner, quantity and
quality of the foods-some which we
have listed.
field of medicine will come out to promote a healthy society where they or
their companies would be put out of
business. Yet the truth remains that
food is your medicine when the proper
information is brought forth.
Messenger Muhammad further teaches that our dietary habits must be in
accord with what is natural for our well
-being. Our bodies are designed to
handle a plant-based diet for food for
good health and a long life. He teaches that all the vitamins, minerals and
other nutrients we need for good
health are found in plants. He teaches
that meats are no good for us. The
practice and habit of eating meat is
detrimental to our well-being. There is
much that can be said reference our
health and eating habits. The fact of
the matter is that the Honorable Elijah
Muhammad is right on point when it
comes to eating to live. I invite you to
look further into his teachings on this
subject. Here are some references on
this subject of food and its ability to
reverse illnesses and cure diseases:


Eating To Live Inconveniences
The Medical World
The Messenger teaches us that if we
eat as he prescribes we can live a
long, long life and be in good health.
However, if we live a long healthy life
with little or no illness then we may
inconvenience the medical world and
all of its components (doctors, drug
manufacturers, medical supply companies, hospitals, research centers,
and a host of other companies involved in the field of medical aid). The
truth of the matter is that no one in the

on the internet:

 Forks Over Knives
 The Gerson Miracle
 Food Matters
 Dying To Have Known
These are some of the materials available that provide information that verifies the teachings given to us by Messenger Muhammad. They also explain
why food is not promoted as the main
source to good health, and why it is
not likely to become a remedy prescribed by the medical industry. Food
can be your medicine. As-SalaamAlaikum.

THE FALL AND
BREAK UP OF THE
OLD WORLD
By The Honorable Elijah Muhammad
Messenger of Allah
The acts and confusion of the
white man and especially
England and America bring
our attention to Daniel's vision of the world today
(Daniel 2:31-46).
IN THIS vision of Daniel‟s,
the image‟s head is gold,
which represents the standard
metal of worship. And the
placing of this at the head and
not at the feet gives us again
a chance at the meaning and
significance of Daniel‟s vision.
The head of gold and the
breast of silver represent the
two countries (England and
her sterling, and America and
her gold). England‟s sterling
pound and America‟s eleven
or more billion dollars in
gold made these two countries the head of the nations
of the earth.
This was because of their
great wealth of money, gold
and silver which they hoped
to use to sway the nations to
bow to their biddings. But the
fall of this great god of gold
and silver and the maneuvering of power to be the instrument that caused the fall of
the great statue of gold and
silver (the world standard or
media of exchange held by
England and America) came
from Divine power and not
from the nations‟ power.
THE SMALL NATIONS of
Europe united after the sterling had fallen off the market
to a weak point (about a
third of the power and less
than they previously exercised over the nations of the
near and far East).
When America was holding
the bulk of the gold, she represented the head. But the
smaller nations, with France
in the lead, captured the head
of gold which is the most important part of the image or
statue that Daniel saw.
Nobody can travel or move
without the head. When we
lose the head we lose the
body of silver and miry iron
and clay, (referring to Daniel‟s vision).
The legs and feet of iron and
clay represent the statue as
being partly strong and partly
weak. The weakness is in the
legs and the feet when the
legs and feet should be the
strongest part of the body to
support the head and body.
THIS STATUE began with
the base (legs and feet) which
represents how the gold and
silver were built up. England
and America got the head of
gold and breast of silver from
weak nations, who were partly strong and partly weak: as
James (in the Bible) 5:1 gives
it very clearly.
This is the real fall of the two
powerful kingdoms (the robbery of the poor), as it says in
James‟ prophecy of gold be-
11
ing able to stand in the days
of battle and war, to bribe nations; to support and stand
against justice for the poor,
who had been the instrument
of labor to build and keep
strong the image of gold and
silver.
The American Black people
who were brought into the
country for the sole purpose
of their labor to be used for
the opening up of the new
country called America, are
no more needed for labor
purposes.
of war that made the Black
man (once-slave of America)
to lie around in trenches and
bushes to help his master kill
master‟s enemies.
They are not even needed for
any war purposes, because
the modern agriculture labor
is in machines, and the conquering of nations today is in
scientifically-prepared arms
ONE BOMBING plane could
do more than a million
ground soldiers in the way of
fighting an enemy. But, injustice given the once-slave is
such that it is not matched by
any past slave-master in the
history of slavery.
Even in the fall of ancient
Babylon, ancient Egypt, none
of these slave-holding ancient
governments
and
states
equaled the present evil of
the modern masters of America against the Black onceslave.
Even while the once Black
slave flies to the help of his
master at their beck and call
to fight to destroy his enemies, the master is today, in
America, armed to the teeth.
The government allows the
white murderer of the Black
American (the rapers) to
come through the Black
man‟s neighborhood night
and day and destroy his morals and his life.
At this very hour, eternal war
against the Black man is
planned as the Psalmist
(Bible) prophesies that they
12
The Fall and Break Up Of The Old World
“No metal is stronger than iron”-HEM
plan to destroy the poor secretly.
ALL KINDS of evils are
planned against the once loyal slave of America today: in
the drugs, in food and the water that the slave eats and
drinks, to destroy his increase
of his nation-making his
woman unproductive, and
turning her into the most disgraceful woman of the nations with his indecent styles
of dress.
He is doing nothing to show
justice to his slaves even to
leave him. He does not want
any separation. He wants his
slave to remain as a prey and
continues to destroy him. He
now fights a war against
God‟s intention to redeem
and deliver us (the Black
once-slaves of America).
Allah (God) is wise. He puts
strength into the weak (iron
mixed with miry clay) to hasten the fall of the head of
gold and breast of sliver by
letting America spend all of
her gold (according to the radio, newspapers, and other
announcements) down to a
billion dollars, and some say
America does not own that
much out of eleven billion
dollars of gold bars in the
(Continued from page 11)
Kentucky hills.
HER NATIONAL debt, her
daily expenses to finance war
all over the earth-wherever it
may start, is terrific.
The likeness has never been
seen in the past-taking her
gold head away and England‟s breast of sterling silver
away from the statue.
Therefore, the stone (England
and America‟s Black slave)
that the builders rejected is at
the feet of this mighty statue
of gold and silver-being not
gold and silver themselves,
but rather iron that is much
stronger than gold and silver,
though they mire down in
earth of miry clay. Yet, in it,
there is strength to build the
foundation for a strong nation.
So it is the prophecy throughout the Bible and the Holy
Qur-an, that which they
thought was too weak is being strengthened for us and
supported by the Divine Will
and Power.
NO METAL is stronger than
iron. No nation is stronger
than its poor people who support it. Without labor you
have no government; the poor
are the labor. England and
America have lost their god
of gold and silver and the
kingdom is falling and breaking up.
THEY ARE losing their labor
(the Black slave); he is crying
out for justice, and according
to James‟ (in the Bible)
prophecy 5:4 this gold by
right of justice was due to the
poor slave who labored down
the fields of America and
England.
But it was spent and given
away to curse the lives
against the day of battle and
war to keep the poor, poor
without being justified for
their labor and life given to
England, and America for the
past 400 years.
So the God of justice is at
work to see that the poor get
the justice due them. So powerful worship of these two
nations, (England and America) of gold and silver in
abundance over smaller nations is falling and breaking
up while the weak are increasing in durable strength
like iron.

Prayer In Islam
By Sister Faye X
In the Name of Allah, Master Fard
Muhammad, and in the name of His
Messenger, the Most Honorable Elijah
Muhammad. As-Salaam-Alaikum.
“Surely prayer keeps (one) away
from indecency and evil; and certainly the remembrance of Allah is
the greatest (force) and Allah
knows what you do.”
by the white race we have been put
on a journey that fulfills Divine purpose to bring us back to our original
self. We are dependent on Allah to
guide us and we thank Him through
prayers given to us by the Messenger.
“It is so essential that you follow
the Messenger because if you do
as I say, you become a different
person.” (The Divine Sayings of The
Honorable Elijah Muhammad, Volume
II, page 19)
-Holy Qur-an 29:45
Prayer, one of the Principles of Belief
In Islam, represents communion with
Allah and is obligatory. It connects us
(Lost-Found Nation of Islam) to Him.
We turn to Allah acknowledging that
He is the Creator Who guides through
prayer. What is prayer? Prayer is the
act of offering respect-especially to
God (Allah), communicating with Him
and recognizing His presence.
The Honorable Elijah Muhammad has
devoted a chapter on Prayer Service
and it can be found in Message To
The Blackman in (North) America
(pages 135-160). He teaches us that
Allah is oft-forgiving and merciful
therefore we should thank Him continuously.
Allah Is Worthy Of Our Love
and Obedience
There are so many benefits of prayer.
It enlightens and raises the highest
aspirations meaning you have an earnest desire to seek Divine guidance.
Allah is worthy of our love and obedience. We (Black People) are His chosen and should want to please Him.
Why should and do we pray? Since
being stripped of the knowledge of self
ened during the night. Allah wants to
make us whole again. Our prayers are
devoted to Him and He blesses us by
purifying our hearts. Our prayers are
also designed for us (Lost-Found). We
have turned to the devil (white people)
long enough. Our time is now to learn
of and pray to our God (Allah). To Him
alone do we pray. Do not follow the
religion of white people (Christianity).
It is for them and it will keep you blind,
deaf and dumb, praying to a dead
Prophet (Jesus) who cannot hear you.
Muslim Prayer Service begins with
cleansing all exposed parts of the
body. We prepare ourselves to come
before Allah with clean body and
mind. This shows respect. We turn
east toward the Holy City of Mecca―the only Holy place on the Earth‖
says the Honorable Elijah Muhammad
(Message To The Blackman, page
48). With heads bowed and hands
outstretched that have been cleansed
of any evil that they may have brought
forth, we show obeisance to Allah,
humbly submitting to Him with repentant hearts. The ears have also been
cleansed from any evil heard and
eyes shut from seeing evil.
“Observe prayers in the early morning, at the close of the day, and at
the approach of the night. Prayers
are good deeds which drive away
the evil doing”
-Holy Qur-an 11:114
We are surrounded by evil everyday
so it is necessary to keep up prayer.
Muslims pray five times a day with the
addition of two more prayers if awak-
We Must Not Forget
To Pray For Our Messenger
We must not forget to pray for our
Messenger whose guidance raises us
from our dead condition. The chapter
entitled ―A PRAYER FOR THE MESSENGER‖ is found in Message To
The Blackman, pages 157-159.
O Nation of Black People in North
America, come join this journey with
us who follow the teachings of the
Honorable Elijah Muhammad. Learn
the best of prayers. We are Allah’s
chosen and Islam is our religion. AsSalaam-Alaikum.

Highlights Of Savior’s Day 2013
Held In The Richmond, Virginia Area
Our Saviour Has Arrived
by Sister Brenda Muhammad
In the Name of Allah, Master Fard
Muhammad, and His Last
Messenger, Elijah Muhammad.
As-Salaam-Alaikum.
We pray everyone who participated in our Saviour‟s Day activities
had an informative and entertaining experience. On Sunday February 24th, 2013, there was a believers‟ reception at the Homewood
Suites by Hilton-Richmond Airport, 5996 Audubon Drive, Sandston, Virginia (near the Richmond
International Airport) where we
held all of the Saviour‟s Day activities. After eating foods from
the Muslim cooked buffet, the
weary travelers retired for the
night to get ready for the next
days‟ activities.
Educational and Informative
Classes Held In The Early
Morning Before Saviour’s Day
Believers‟ activities began Monday, February 25th at 8:30 a.m.
until 11:00 a.m. The F.O.I. class
taught self-defense and prayer,
utilizing law and investigative procedures in Islam. Other classes
included physical drill and a lecture on race-mixing and tricknology of the enemy. The M.G.T.G.C.C. class offered the correct
way of cooking navy bean soup,
and the science behind this small
bean and the three color variety.
Sisters also sampled the finished
creamed bean soup after class, anticipating whole bean and creamed
bean soup at the evening banquet.
In Sewing class there was teaching
on the importance of accurate
measuring of self, patterns, types
of fabric that may be used for different garments prescribed by the
Messenger; also there was teaching on the need to have your notions organized as well as to check
your machine to ensure it is working properly, if you have not used
it for a while. All Sisters in attendance received head-piece patterns.
Excellent Ideas Exchanged
During Financial Conference
At 12:00 noon there was a joint
Financial Management Conference that dealt with managing finances at home and abroad. The
panel consisted of Brother Minister Kamau Islam, Brother Secretary Hakeem Muhammad, Sister
Captain Debbie Muhammad and
Sister Lieutenant Evvy Islam. Believers in the audience participated
with questions and commentsshowing great interest. This activity concluded the morning sessions
thus everyone, except Laborers,
retired to get ready for the evening
banquet, and to catch up on rest if
they arrived during the “wee”
hours.
The various laborers‟ meetings
dealt with planned security and
policy (The NOIGA-The Nation
Of Islam General Assembly). After handling all the work and ne-
cessities to have a smooth Saviour‟s Day, time was taken to get
changed and relaxed for the upcoming banquet.
Jr. F.O.I. and Jr. M.G.T. make
presentations.
The banquet was held from 6:00
p.m. until 9:00 p.m. and presentations included: (1). A Farm, Agriculture and Science Report by Jr.

Believers Prepare For A Great
Summer and Fall Harvest
Believers in the States of Connecticut,
New York and Virginia have begun
spring planting of a variety of vegetables and are sprucing up fruit trees in
anticipation of a great summer and fall
harvest.
Our farming and gardening efforts of
2012 survived the hottest (and in
many areas), driest summer on record, yet Allah blessed us with wonderful produce. The hard and consistent
work of the believers paid off with a
good harvest. Both, the Brothers
(F.O.I.) and the Sisters (M.G.T.) have
worked and will continue to work to
make this agricultural program a success.
In 2013 as we lay the ground work for
an even slightly expanded operation

By Sister Debbie
Muhammad
On Saturday, May 18, 2013, the
M.G.T. & G.C.C. of Muhammad’s
Temple of Islam #41 in Bridgeport,
Connecticut, with the assistance of
Bro. Minister Kenneth Muhammad
descended on the earth to grow
some crops for ourselves.
The Messenger teaches us that we
must do for self, and have some land
to call our own. The M.G.T. and Jr.
M.G.T. got to work, putting the Messenger’s teachings and program into
practice. We began by turning and
mixing the soil to properly prepare it
for many crops.
We planted eggplant, string beans,
butter lettuce, yellow and butternut
squash, tomatoes, cucumbers, both
red and green peppers, okra, sweet
basil, sweet peppers, parsley, oregano, and rosemary. This effort enabled us to once again get a feel for
working the land.
With Allah’s blessing we will get a
taste of the fruits of our labor. Allah is
ever seer of all things as addressed
in the Bible, Psalm 37:18&19 which
reads: “The Lord knoweth the days
of the upright; and their inheritance shall be forever. They shall
not be ashamed in the evil time
and in the days of famine they
shall be satisfied.” As-SalaamAlaikum.

The Need
For Unity
By Brother A. Haqq Muhammad
In the Name of Allah, Master Fard
Muhammad, and His Messenger The
Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad.
As-Salaam-Alaikum.
“Behold how good and how pleasant it
is for brethren (and the sisterhood) to
dwell in unity,”
Psalm 133:1
The Honorable Elijah Muhammad,
throughout all his teachings and writings, has been and is the greatest
teacher of unity among his followers
and all Black people in America and
the world. He made it extremely important for Black men and women
here in America to work hard for unity
amongst themselves. In his dynamic
book, MESSAGE TO THE BLACKMAN IN AMERICA, on page 220, he
writes: ―The unity of 22 million socalled Negroes up from slavery is the
answer to our salvation…” He adds:
―what more do we need but unity of
the whole for the whole?...Love and
unity of self and kind is the key to our
salvation.”
Other Ethnic Groups and Races Have
Strong Unity Among Themselves
It is our lack of true unity that keeps
our people divided and prevents us,
even in 2013, from making any real
progress to save our people, who
remain deaf, dumb, and blind to the
knowledge of self. Messenger Muhammad says we allow petty differences to keep us divided. If we look
carefully around us, we can see all
the other ethnic groups and races
who have strong unity among them-
selves. We see the Koreans, Arabs,
Russians, Asians, Spanish, Germans,
Irish, Italians – all displaying unity
among themselves. Why such unity
amongst these groups despite their
differences, outlooks and opinions? Each of these groups have unity because they all have something in
common that naturally unites them:
language, ethnicity, culture, heritage,
skin color, homeland, etc.
When I was in elementary school I
had difficulty doing math. I didn’t hate
math. I just found math hard to do. In
fact I avoided having to do math. I
remembered what to do when it came
to fractions. In the science of fractions, all parts are not together, they
are fractionalized. In order to solve a
problem in fractions or arrive at a sum
in fractions, one must find the least
common denominator. When the least
common denominator is found, you
solve the problem or you find the sum
in fractions and all parts come together.
We Must Unite To Overcome
Our Common Enemy
The Honorable Elijah Muhammad
teaches that Black people here in
America are divided and he calls us to
unite. We are 40 million or more Black
people here in America with so much
potential for greatness. Although we
are from different political, economic
and religious backgrounds we all have
a particular thing in common. We are
all Black, descendants of slaves, with
a common enemy — the Whiteman,
who has deceived us and continues
to deceive us into thinking that we are
free.
Messenger Muhammad Teaches That The
Solution To Our Problems Is Divine
Messenger Muhammad says that our
problem of disunity is a divine problem that needs a divine solution from
GOD in Person. He points to the Book
of Ezekiel 37:1 which clearly shows
the current condition of Black people
in America. The Prophet Ezekiel was
set down in a valley of dry bones; these bones were scattered, and dry. Mr.
Muhammad stated that these bones
are a perfect picture of us (Black people) here in this country; the bones
represent or are a symbol of Black
people who are without substance-no
life. Bones are remains of a human or
animal that once lived but is now
dead. The dryness of the bones represent Black people without water
(spiritual life) and the divided bones
represent the disunity of people.
The bones described in the Book of
Ezekiel were so dry and scattered that
GOD commanded the Son of Man to
prophesy unto the bones and blow
four winds upon the bones. This Messenger Muhammad tells us is the
coming of Allah God and teaching
Black people truth, which caused us
(the bones) to begin seeking unity.
It is unity that will allow us as a people
to overcome all obstacles placed in
our path. With divine unity, and truth,
we can build an economic, social,
cultural, educational Institution that
the Honorable Elijah Muhammad
teaches us that we as a people can
do with the help of Allah.
Messenger Muhammad teaches that
our unity is more powerful than an
atomic bomb. We can’t just teach or
preach unity; we must be unity in action. And our unity must be as a solid
