Greatest Book Ever Written for the upliftment of the Black man and woman

The Message To The Blackman in America was my first encounter with a Real Powerful Black man dedicated to God (Allah) who was successful in life at bringing us together for the establishment of a Righteous, Peaceful, Equal and Harmonious civilization right here on earth NOW! With that said, Islam - means "Peace" and the only way to have peace and to affect peace into this world is through - Submitting your Will to do the Will of God (Allah). By aligning our Mind and Will with the Will of God all things become possible. The Nation of Islam (NOI) does not teach "Arab Culture" as Arab Culture for some strange reason has become identified with Islam. So do not pick up this book expecting to learn about Arab Culture. The Hon. Elijah Muhammad nor Min. Farrakhan teaches Arab Culture and many who claim Islam are angry with them and their followers for this reason alone. It teaches Islam as defined by God (Allah) and the Holy Quran. The Hon. Elijah Muhammad said he met with God (the Supreme Being) in the Person (or physical appearance) of Master Fard Muhammad. That He (Master Fard Muhammad) proved clearly to him that he was indeed who he said he was, God. Now, if The Hon. Elijah Muhammad has indeed met with God (Allah) and submitted his Will to do the Will of God (Allah), then he should be successful in the Mission that God (Allah) has given him, which The Hon Elijah Muhammad says is to uplift Black people in America. Which means to me, waking them up to who they really are and showing them by example what the can have here and now. Once that is done, to take what we have and give it to humanity for thhe establishment of peace. Lets look at the outcome of his meeting, learning and travels with Master Fard Muhammad whom he says is God (Allah in Person) and whom he spent approx. 3 years learning from. Learning what, according to the Hon. Elijah Muhammad, the Science of Everything. He goes from another barely employed black man on welfare with a family to feed, to a successful Leader, Teacher, Businessman, Author, Philanthropist and Servant of God. He builds a religious organization, the Nation of Islam with mosques in every major city in America. The basic teaching being the obedience to God (Allah) and the buiding of a Righteous Civilization. He creates an educational system (ACTUAL SCHOOLS) throughout America, the University of Islam (k-12). Students learning the basics of any educational system but General Discipline, Civility, the Knowledge of Self and the importance of Unity and duty to your people as well. He builds and Entreprenuerial Business empire: Muhammmad Speaks Newspaper distributed nationally. An Import Business rooted in Fish by which he could wean Blacks off of the harmful Pork we were indulging in every day of the week. Books Stores that sold books he authored on How to Eat to Live, How to Win Friends and Influence People, Books on the Theologyy of God (Allah) and Time. HE SETUP HIS OWN - trucking, shi

"ISLAM IS AS GUILTY AS CHRISTIANITY!"

First, before you read this you should know that I have NO religious affiliation, so I am not trying to sway anybody. Elijah Muhammad met W.D Fard Muhammad and became the prophet for the Nation of Islam. For the record it should be said, that the images of Fard, were that of a half white, half arab man. He looked in no way black. When Fard Muhammad(the godman of the Nation of Islam) was arrested he proclaimed himself a "White Man"(taken from the book Elijah Muhammad:An original Man). This might come as a surprise to his followers seeing as he had a message to the Black Man. Also what disturbes me most is, they sit here and preach Islam to you, and won't even mention the thousands of African slaves their are to Islam and the Arabs right now in Sudan. They won't say how many blacks in Africa are ashamed to say they are "Black and African," and would rather be classified, as anything but that. By changing our name from European names to Arab names, were just pushing off our Christian slave name and picking up our Arab slave name. Furthermore Elijah Muhhamed is responsible for "8" children out of wedlock. He was a total contradiction to the laws he was suppost to uphold. Look at those who knew better and were around at the time of the zenith of the movement. Muhammed Ali was once a member, but now he is a Sunni Muslim. Malcom X or El-Hajj Malik El-Shabbaz was a member that was killed for taking himself out of the movement. Clarence Smith, the founder of the Nation of Gods and Earths or 5%, was also killed for leaving. This is not a mistake and this is not a coincedence. When Malcom X made his Hajj he didn't even know that whites could be Muslims. He was embarrased because he didn't know anything of the Arabic script. In the end, Islam and the Arab, is just as guilt as Christianity and the European. We do not need to create myths, to make ourselves feel superior, or make anyone else feel inferior. Dig into the African history starting with Kemet(or Egypt). "IN AFRICA, AND EVEN ALL OVER THE WORLD THE AFRICAN PREDECESSORS LEFT US CLUES TO TELL THEIR OWN STORY. THEY DON'T NEED US TO MAKE IT UP FOR THEM." Research people like Ivan Van Sertima, John Henrick Clarke, Dr. Ben, Runoko Rashidi, Gerald Massey, John G. Jackson, Ashrwa Kwesi, Cheich Anta Diop, and they will teld you. We do not need myths to create history. The history speaks for itself.

If it is false, Prove It!

The history of man has been interpreted through the ages in so many different forms that to discard the claims in this book without proper research is outright ignorant. Many people deny what Elijah Muhammad was saying without having a full or partial understanding of what he said. One should remember that some of the greatest Black minds in America studied this book. Malcolm X, Muhammad Ali, Minister Louis Farrakhan and many others. Message to the Blackman in America is A book of enlightenment. It challenges the version of the bible that has been given to us, however, it does not discount it completely. Muhammad gives us a message of Love of self, protection and elevation of the black woman. He teaches duty to prayer and he even lays out an economic blue print for black independence. There are those that will latch on to the History of Yakub and the History of Musa because that time period is thousands of years before our existence and it is the easiest thing to debate, especailly without the benefit of research. Truly religious scholars still do not agree with scientist and there is disagreement within each group on endless points of history. But I challenge those who deny the histories in Message to the Blackman to look into it a bit before you right another review. You may very well be surprised.

Knowledge of Self and God is the best knowledge

Message to the Blackman is the best book in the world. It gives to the Black man and woman in America to keys to open up the truths of who they are, who God is, who the Devil is and so much more. Many may dispute that this is not true Islam, but if you truly study scripture in Bible and Holy Quran you will see the truths come to fruition. Many truths have been locked away for countless number of years from the black man and woman, and the world in general. Many of what we as a society have been taught by white people has been lies due to white supremacy. Message to the black man is an eye opener that tells in plain english what was stolen from us for years and the true knowledge of what is going on in the world. Religion, beliefs and our righteous moral values and birthright was stolen from the black man and woman and Elijah Muhammad through Master Fard Muhammad gave black people back all of this and then some...All praise is due to Allah for these teachings.
