“See they not that We have created cattle for them, out of what Our hands have wrought, so they are their masters? And We have subjected them to them, so some of them they ride, and some they eat. And therein they have advantages and drinks. Will they not then give thanks?” —Holy Qur'an, Surah 36, verses 71-73

As we continue in our Divine Evolutionary Plan pertaining to our planet, the stages of universal consciousness, new knowledge and information is being revealed that will lead us step by step into a more comprehensive understanding of God's Divine universal plan for the whole of humanity and planetary life elsewhere. Hiding the Truth or keeping back from the expounding of that truth when it comes is to keep people in disharmony and

ignorance and away from the mission of service which is the characteristic of higher spiritual consciousness and enlightenment. The Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan as the Great Helper of the Honorable Elijah Muhammad is being Divinely guided by Allah by the instinct of his essence of being, which can be compared to the instinct of the bee to whom revelation is granted.

The nature of searching for the right material to sustain and evolve life is released in the pollen of a variety of plants and flowers carefully nurturing the process of pollination into a worthwhile substance or product called honey intended as a beverage or drink of healing for man and for the whole of human society. So, too, the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan has been gifted by his divine instinct of knowing and essence of being to discriminate and discern by God's Permission that which is made fit as food for us to eat, and what to store in our houses in this time of crises on our planet. Those who are able to perceive this reality are very fortunate and lucky indeed. Once the Honorable Elijah Muhammad was sitting with a few of his followers at his dinner table and the question for discussion was raised about the qualifications that one needed to be saved or chosen in the hour of judgment. He responded that there was really nothing that anyone can say or do that he or she may think of himself or herself as being special or chosen but rather that we are only saved by Allah's grace, and can only be considered as being lucky if we make it.

In this, we are reminded of a saying of the Prophet that testifies to this truth in these words covering the final judgment, that Allah put His Hand into the fire and pulled out a handful who did no good at all for the sake of his servants and companion Muhammad. The Honorable Elijah Muhammad also informed a few of us in 1974, within a year of his departure, that when he returned that there would be little faith among us, so few that he could put only a handful to fit into a single taxicab. As we see the declining world of Satan's dominion, we must seek Refuge only in Allah to sustain us, and to secure and protect us for all else will fail. “And the devil will say, when the matter is decided: Surely Allah promised you a promise of truth, and I promised you, then failed you. And I had no authority over you, except that I called you and you obeyed me; so blame me not but blame yourselves. I cannot come to your help, nor can you come to my help. I deny your associating me with Allah before. Surely for the unjust is a painful chastisement.”

Unveiling Truth in this day and time is a consequence of the coming and presence of God Himself Who is uncovering truth in all existence traced back to the beginning of time. He is opposed by Satan and his wicked, crafty world of demons who are being exposed to the bright light of God's presence in the world and can no longer hide in the darkness of his wicked deception. As we are being resuscitated and brought back to life by stages in the Resurrection, we have an instinctive craving and thirst for more Divine Knowledge and Truth. If we had not been awakened through the Divine Teachings of the Honorable Elijah Muhammad forcibly demonstrating that God is Present among us, we would not have the power or will to resist Satan and his world of falsehood and deception and would remain blind, deaf and dumb to this Mighty Announcement.

The United States Government and its people are in a state of confusion and chaos because God is interfering and breaking their power to rule on land and on sea, and as a peek into the realms of the heavens in our universe desperately looking for another home to exploit and to conquer the entire world of galaxies and planets have been put on alert and their scouts and watchers and mediums of advanced technologies are working under the Command of the Divine Supreme Being whose proper name is, Allah, to bring them to a naught.

As we continue in our investigation of truth, we will be brought closer and closer to the Divine Essence of our being that is clothed in the righteousness of the oneness of God and become like the bee producing the healing substance of honey as we stand on this Holy Day of Atonement, Reconciliation of our differences and Responsibility to ourselves and to others.

“And they take gods besides Allah that they may be helped. They are not able to help them, and they are a host brought up before them.”Holy Qur'an, Surah 36, verses 74-75
