“And certainly We gave Moses nine clear signs; so ask the Children of Israel. When he came to them, Pharaoh said to him: Surely I deem thee, O Moses, to be one bewitched. He said: Truly thou knowest that none but the Lord of the heavens and the earth has sent these as clear proofs; and surely I believe thee, O Pharaoh, to be lost.” -Holy Qur’an, Surah 17, verses 101-102
In that same year, 1974, he announced to his circle of Laborers that he and his wife were preparing to leave the country to take care of very important business, and that he had others to teach who were not of our fold, who would join us and partake of this Great World Mission. When we arrived in Mexico, he asked me to help him in several important areas in preparation for a future time. It has taken me a little more than 30 years to understand more fully the significance of his strategic Divine Plan, of which I only know a little of what he shared with me.
When I asked him what he would teach the others, he answered, “The same that you are being taught.” To further questioning of what that would be specifically, he answered, “The Lessons.” Combining what he had stated to his family members and Laborers in Chicago, added to his words about the significance of the Lessons as applied to those outside of our fold, I truly recognized that the Lessons were much more than the mere recital of questions and answers and their memorization, which is a requirement for every new convert in the Nation of Islam. This Assignment of our Lessons has become the basis of my study and research throughout the many years of his absence, both at home and abroad.
In last week’s article, we spoke about the recent launching of NASA’s Space Shuttle to the far away Planet Pluto, or Platoon as it is so named in our Lessons beginning in Problem Number 24. It is the ninth planet in our solar system and is located 4,600,000,000 miles away from the Sun. The space shuttle was launched on January 19 this year.
I would like to pose the following question: If Master Fard Muhammad’s Announced Visit to America corresponded with the discovery of Planet Pluto in 1930, named after the Greek god of the underworld, might this final exploratory mission of the United States Government’s space program correspond to the Saviour’s Return and the Birth of a New Nation from among the spiritual dead who are stylized as the blind, deaf and dumb?
“So he desired to scare them from the land, but We drowned him and those with him, all together; And We said to the Children after him: Abide in the land. But when the latter promise came, We brought you all rolled up. And with truth have We revealed it, and with truth did it come. And We have not sent thee but as a giver of good news and as a warner.” -Holy Qur’an, Surah 17, verses 103-105
