“And whoever of you is obedient to Allah and His Messenger and does good, We shall give her a double reward, and We have prepared for her an honorable sustenance.  O wives of the Prophet, you are not like any other women.  If you would keep your duty, be not soft in speech, lest he in whose heart is a disease yearn; and speak a word of goodness.” –Holy Qur’an, Surah 33, verses 31-32

Upon several occasions, I have tried to imagine what it must have been like for the Caucasian people or White Race, to have come into existence from Yacob’s grafting experiment, and the challenges they faced in establishing their dominion and rule over the original people of our planet. As each color or race was grafted from the brown germ of the Black Man on the island of Pelan or modern-day Patmos, each race, in turn, fled the island to inhabit a particular geographic area of the world.  The origin of the Brown Race or people, as we were taught, were the Japanese who spread out to the present area known as the Nippon Islands or Japan. 

The Yellow Race or man settled in the area we know today as China centered around the Yangste River or Yellow River.  And, finally, the White Race or man, left the island of Patmos in the Aegean Sea to enter Arabia, where they began their exploitive rulership by causing trouble among the original people.

This history is recorded in a book of writings or Scripture called, Bible and Holy Qur’an.  According to the Divine Teachings of the Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad, those members of the White Race that fled to the Arabian Peninsula began to make trouble and mischief right there in the midst of the Garden, as we read it in the Book of Genesis of the Bible.

By their very nature, they were inclined towards evil and disobedience to God, being made weaker mentally and physically from the original man and caused trouble among the righteous by spreading lies and using falsehood. Within six months, the ruling authorities and the King, identified the mischief makers who were breaking the peace and gathered those they could capture and exiled them out of Arabia, across the Arabian Desert into the caves and hillsides of Europe.

During one of the Table Talks of the Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad, he told us that the children were so frightened upon seeing this strange race of people with such an unalike color, fair skin, blond hair and blue eyes, that they began to hurl rocks and stones at them leaving many dead on their doorsteps. The men and women of this new unalike Caucasian Race began making trouble within family households by falsely charging immoral conduct among the male and the female.  Particularly, these intrigues were carried out by the women who were instructed to break the peace and harmony of those families through false accusations and charges.

This led to in-house fighting and bloodshed.  Today’s politics in the Middle East and Africa, practiced by the White man and Government of America, and her European allies, is producing the same evil affects of bloodshed and murder taking place among our own people as practiced in Arabia 6,000 years ago.  They began by coming into our societies pretending friendship but began telling lies to divide our people which fostered arguments and quarreling between the brethren, breaking out in fighting and the killing of one another; then they appear as the peacemakers in our affairs.

We are being forced today as the King and the authorities did in Arabia 6,000 years ago, to go to the root cause of this troublemaking people on our planet in order to find the right solution that will lead to peace and justice.  We are all being forced to return to the Divine Teachings of the Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad who was taught a thorough knowledge of the problem of the White Race and of ourselves by Master W. Fard Muhammad, the Great Mahdi.  He was born in the Holy City of Mecca where the trouble began and where knowledge of the Original Man first started.

We have come now to the time in history where both races, Black and White, must be separated and returned once again to their original land.  The Divine Teachings of the Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad leaves nothing out to chance and has included every minute detail so that we may not be confused or mistaken.  Our Lessons of the Supreme Wisdom, given to us to study by the Master and the Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad, lays the base for our understanding of what is taking place on our planet today and solves the problem between Black and White. 

The Caucasian Race admits that they are troublemakers and know that their end has come.  Only Allah, God, has the Power to deal justly with them, as the Time of this world has come!  We must remember that when the Caucasian People or White Race returned to the Holy Land (Arabia) after fleeing the island of Pelan, Patmos, they started making trouble among the righteous people telling lies.  This is happening today in the politics of the Middle East and Africa practiced by America and her Western allies, including Israel in Palestine.

By nature they are inclined to evil and mischief making, except for a few.  “They accused the righteous people causing them to fight and kill one another. … Therefore, we ran the Devils over the Arabian Desert and we took from them everything except the language and made him walk every step of the way.  It was twenty-two hundred miles.  He went savage and lived in the Caves of Europe.  EU means hillsides and Rope is the rope to bind in.  It was six thousand nineteen years ago.”

Those who sat with the Prophet in his circle of companions, and listened to his teaching in the early seventh century A.D. were called the people of the household (Ahl-al-Bait), and also the people of the Bench, a place adjacent to the mosque called Ahl-Al-Suffa.  They were responsible for sharing the knowledge given by the Prophet with others of the Believing community, which included his wives, and their children and other close companions. Among them were the four Rightly Guided Caliphs.  Those who sat with the Prophet to hear his words of wisdom and to observe his practices or Sunnah were responsible to carry those messages and principles of his teaching and practice to the rest of the world.

Today, we are following in those footsteps guided through the Divine Teachings of the Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad in the rebirth of the Nation of Islam in America. As it was in the time of the Holy Prophet Muhammad, May the Peace and Blessings of Allah Be Upon Him, in the Seventh Century A.D.   So, too, it is true of us today in this 21st century as the followers of the Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad.  The difference between yesterday and today is that we have come to the completion of the fulfillment of Muhammad’s history, and are collectively the body of Helpers assisting the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan in making the Great Commission of the Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad Known to the entire world.  As it is written, the people who sat in darkness have seen a Great Light!

“And stay in your houses and display not (your beauty) like the displaying of the ignorance of yore; and keep up prayer, and pay the poor-rate, and obey Allah and His Messenger.  Allah only desires to take away uncleanness from you, O people of the household, and to purify you a (thorough) purifying.  And remember that which is recited in your houses of the messages of Allah and the Wisdom. Surely Allah is ever Knower of subtilities, Aware.” –Holy Qur’an, Surah 33, verses 33-34
