“Say:  It has been revealed to me that a party of the jinn listened, so they said:  Surely we have heard a wonderful Qur’an, Guiding to the right way—so we believe in it.  And we shall not set up anyone with our Lord:  And He – exalted be the majesty of our Lord! –has not taken a consort, nor a son; And the foolish among us used to forge extravagant lies against Allah; And we thought that men and jinn did not utter a lie against Allah.”—Holy Qur’an, Surah 72, verses 1-5

What is the material of darkness from whence we all originate?  What is the origin of darkness in which we calculate space time?  I often wondered how God calculated measurements in space time counting into trillions of years, while the present world scientists only measure and calculate space time of our universe’s origin within four to five billions of years.  The Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad has stated that there is no exact time in which to calculate the beginning of God, we only know that at some point, there was a beginning.  Our “Supreme Wisdom Lessons” tell us that the Son of Man has searched for that mystery God for trillions of years and found no evidence of a Mystery God.  So they have agreed that the only God is the Son of Man, and they waste no time in searching for that which does not exist.

According to the Holy Qur’an, Surah 39, verse 6, “Man is created in the womb of his mother—creation after creation in triple darkness.”  Could these stages of triple darkness represent trillions of years as taught by Master Fard Muhammad in our Supreme Wisdom having something to do with the Creation of God Himself from the dark womb of space?  According to the most prevalent belief advocated by world physicists and astronomers, life began with the Big Bang theory, a mass explosion of the elements locked up in space that is ever expanding at a terrific rate of speed to this day.  This eruption could have proceeded from a dark hole (a neutron star explosion) that collapsed in on itself and exerts a powerful energy vortex or vacuum in the center of our galaxy of stars.  This characteristic is also exhibited in the center of billions of other galaxies throughout the known universe.

What does the power of thought have to do with this triple darkness calculated into trillions of years, and is this inclusion of the thought process missing in today’s scientific age?  Why are the scientists focusing attention on our central star, the Sun, and her terrific solar flares measuring its effect conjunction with our earth’s orbit around her?  Does this firestorm of electromagnetic energy that fuels the Sun in her nuclear explosion come from, and how is it affecting all life on earth and in our universe?  The Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad taught us in his magnificent lecture series, “The Theology of Time,” and in private discussions and in his books that the attracting power of the Sun is so terrific that she is referred to in the feminine gender.  When examining the word “feminine,” we have inside the word “min” (men) and the number “nine.”

This aspect of the “feminine” in God reflects the power of the female as co-creator with her attracting power to procreate and produce offspring which is symbolized in the creation of the nine planets orbiting around the Sun.  This seminal act of creation produces the different civilizations existing on each of our planets in our solar system.  This is the Secret Power of the female, the Mother, the Second Self of God, as Co-creator and co-Producer of life repeated over and over again.  Upon several occasions, the Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad shared with many of his followers his interest in knowing more about the work of the Sun, so he questioned Master Fard Muhammad about the Sun and its work.  The Master became so upset with him that he left him momentarily with the words, that if he continued to ask him about the Sun, he would not teach him anymore.

The Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad was so perplexed wondering what caused the Master Teacher to refuse to teach him on this subject about the Sun.  When the Master returned to him again, he began telling him some truths about the Sun’s power, but only a little.  I imagine that a star evolving to become our central Sun with attracting power to produce nine planets in her sphere is very complex Knowledge to teach a student.  Some scientists believe that our entire solar system rotates around a conglomerate of stars called, the Pleiades, representing seven powerful sisters or daughters of a king that was set in the heavens as a sign in the universal arrangement of star constellations.  Many Indigenous cultures of the Americas, including the Maya, teach that their place of origin resides within this cluster of stars rotating around a central star called Alcyone.

Why is the Sun identified as “she” in the Arabic language?  And why are all planets and their kingdoms, including all star systems, referred to as “she” in the feminine gender? And why does the Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad place emphasis on our Sun as “she”?  What might the Secret of God, held as a secret for trillions of years, have to do with this feminine aspect of the Divine Creation? Why did Jesus in all of the four Gospels of the New Testament first reveal himself to the women, and instruct Mary Magdalene after his rising from the tomb not to touch him, because he had not yet ascended to the Father?  How might we understand this gesture on the part of Jesus? 

Why did we have the testimony of four remarkable women on May 10th, which is universally celebrated as Mother’s Day, at the Salaam Restaurant in Chicago, all of whom were reflected the Divine Light of the Sun, the “Son of Man” and the Risen Christ in our midst during this critical period of our nation’s evolution to God?  Why did the Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad teach us that a man cannot attain his full wisdom without the woman?  Does this have anything to do with the Knowledge of God being kept as a secret in a small circle of god-scientists in the beginning?  They were all born of a woman and were raised and taught by their mothers, which is the very nature of children in relationship to their mothers until they mature and take hold to the responsibilities of their manhood and God-hood. 

The Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan has taught us that the Secret of God lies in the woman.  This means that the True Knowledge of God and the True Knowledge of self cannot be understood without  the woman, the female, Second Self of God, coming from the Divine Word of God in giving birth to a New World Civilization and Kingdom of Peace with unlimited progress, Freedom, Justice and Equality for all, irrespective of gender.

 “And persons from among men used to seek refuge with persons from among the jinn, so they increased them in evil doing.  And they thought, as you think, that Allah would not raise anyone:  And we sought to reach heaven, but we found it filled with strong guards and flames:  And we used to sit in some of the sitting-places thereof to steal a hearing.  But he who tries to listen now finds a flame lying in wait for him.”–Holy Qur’an, Surah 72, verses 6-9
