Before reading any further brother, think on these two verse.
1Cor:2:14: But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.
I can understand why you find it hard to believe that the NOI is not real Muslims. They are not real to you because you think that Allah does not have the right to raise a new people to represent Islam. Prophet Muhammad said, three generations after him, Islam would not be of him. If you look at Islam as a whole today you will find there are more than seventy sects or divisions.
This is not what Prophet Muhammad wanted, he wanted one unified Islam. Because of this division Allah has seen fit to visit America and raise one man up among us to teach the black man in America how to be true Muslims, Muslims whose first duty would be to serve him, Allah than his fellow man. Look at Islam in the east today, you can hardly call them Muslims. Muslims are killing Muslims like files in the east.
One thing I can say about the Muslim brothers in the west is that they do try to reach out to Muslims from the east. Muslims from the east think they have all the answers because they were brought up as Muslims. If they have all the answers, they need to put them into practice and stop just reciting Quran. I really do not think they have the answers, considering the chaotic condition of their country.
Like I just said, practice what you preach. It seems to me that all you are doing is observing and not trying to teach or understand. You say, here is what you know so far. From the statement you made, it appears that you are on a fact finding mission to find out what NOI believed in. You say, to your face, they will tell you that they are your brothers. Are you implying that they are not your brothers at any other time?
My question to you is, do they also give you the greetings of peace? As-salam alaykum. My next question to you is, do you return the greetings of peace? Wa alaykumu salam? This greeting is a common greeting among professing Muslims this is the only respectful thing to do when two professing Muslims greet each other. You could be the hypocrite and not him. Are you aware that there are at least seventy sects of Islam in the east and each profess a slightly different doctrine. Would you say they are not your brothers or Is it just the black Muslims in America?
I know it is hard to believe that Allah came to America in the person of master Fard Muhammad to delivery a people who were brought here to America in ships against there will and made slaves and to serve the slave master four hundred years. These people had no knowledge of Islam until Master Fard Muhammad came to America and tough for three years true Islam to a man with only a third grade education, The Honorable Elijah Muhammad.
Yes we do believe that Allah came in the person of Master Fard Muhammad but Master Fard Muhammad is not and can not be Allah. He can only manifest a certain degree of his power, knowledge, wisdom, and understanding. Have you ever heard the saying If god be with you no one can be against you? This is how Allah is working through Master Fard Muhammad through his Holy Spirit.
I can also understand you saying that our belief is mysterious, it was mysterious to us also, until we studied and learned more about what was being reveled to us, for the first time in our history in America. As far as our belief that the White race is a grafted race you will have to do some research on your own. but here is a brief story of Yakub the father of the White race. The story of Yakub was originated in the writings of Wallace Fard Muhammad, the founder of the Nation of Islam, in his doctrinal Q&A pamphlet Lost Found Moslem Lesson No.2.
It was developed by his successor Elijah Muhammad in several writings, most fully in a chapter entitled "The Making of the Devil" in his book Message to the Blackman in America. Yakub said to have been born in Mecca at a time when 30% of the original black people were dissatisfied". He was a member of the Meccan branch of the Tribe of Shabazz. Yakub acquired the nickname "big head", because of his unusually large head and his arrogance.
At the age of six, he discovered the law of attraction and repulsion by playing with magnets made of steel. This insight led to a dastardly plan to create new people. He "saw an unlike human being, made to attract others, who could, with the knowledge of tricks and lies, rule the original black man. By the age of 18, he had exhausted all knowledge in the universities of Mecca. He then discovered that the "original black man" contained both a "black germ" and a "brown germ".
With 59,999 followers, he went to the island of Patmos, where he established a despotic regime and set about breeding out the black traits, killed all darker babies, and created a brown race after 200 years. Yakub died at the age of 152, but his followers carried on his work. After 600 years of this deliberate eugenics, the white race was created.
According to The Autobiography of Malcolm X, all the races other than the black race were by products of Yakub's work, as the "red, yellow and brown" races were created during the "bleaching" process; however, the "black race" included Asian peoples, considered to be shared ancestors of the Moors. "Whites" were defined as Europeans. Elijah Muhammad also asserted that some of the new white race "tried to graft themselves back into the black nation, but they had nothing to go by.
As a result, they became gorillas. "A few were lucky enough to make a start, and got as far as what you call the gorilla. In fact, all of the monkey family are from this 2,000 year history of the white race in Europe."
According to NOI doctrine, Yakub's progeny were destined to rule for 6,000 years before the original black peoples of the world regained dominance, a process that had begun in 1914.
You made the statement that we believe that God is human and black. I know this is hard for you to comprehend especially if you are not being taught the truth about our history or your history or you are not trying to prove this truth false, through research. To establish the fact that god can be a man, I would like to cite Habakkuk 3:3-6: There are numerous references to God having the features of a human being in scriptures. Try not to spiritualize God then you will not be able to see him.
"(3) God came from Teman, and the Holy One from mount Paran. Selah. His glory covered the heavens, and the earth was full of his praise. (4) And his brightness was as the light; he had horns coming out of his hand: and there was the hiding of his power. (5) Before him went the pestilence, and burning coals went forth at his feet. (6) He stood, and measured the earth: he beheld, and drove asunder the nations; and the everlasting mountains were scattered, the perpetual hills did bow: his ways are everlasting."
Here again we see God having hands and feet and coming from the land of Teman. "Spirit" means "the energy of life" so energy does not have hands and feet. God is a Man whose flesh dies and another man then becomes God but He is a Human Being. Allah (God) who came in the Person of Master Fard Muhammad (Mahdi) and raised up a messenger (Messiah) for us named Elijah Muhammad and His Warner, the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan has revealed these things to us.
In the biblical account of creation God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness. The God Yahcub was a black scientist talking to other black scientist when he said let us make a man in our image and after our likeness. The white race is not considered human because human denotes color. The white race is considered mankind. The white race was not created by the same process as the black man, he was grafted out of the black Man. I am not trying to be funny or sarcastic, this is a genetic fact.
Ezekiel 1:15-17 - Now as I looked at the living creatures, I saw a wheel on the earth beside the living creatures, one for each of the four of them. As for the appearance of the wheels and their construction: their appearance was like the gleaming of beryl. And the four had the same likeness, their appearance and construction being as it were a wheel within a wheel. When they went, they went in any of their four directions without turning as they went.
During the Exodus, the Hebrew people were slaves in Egypt, so the Bible reports, and God sent an angel to Moses and called him to lead the Israelites out of Egypt. After various plagues came upon the Egyptians, the Israelites escaped, and for the next forty years the Lord went before them by day in a pillar of cloud to lead them along the way, and by night in a pillar of fire to give them light, that they might travel by day and by night (Exodus 13:21). This strange aerial object looked cloud-like during the day and glowed in the dark.. Eventually this strange cloud seemed to defeat the Egyptians in battle, and it gave guidance and instructions to Moses.
I cited these passages only to show you that UFOs were always alluded to in the bible and that Moses was given guidance and instructions from the beings on this vehicle. Up to this present day UFOs are being sighted all over the world. Minister Farrakhan said he had a vision and in this vision he was taken aboard a UFO, he said he was given instructions the same way Moses was given instructions. Take it or leave it alone.
NOI members are not polytheist they are monotheist. They believe there is no God but Allah who came in the person of Master Fard Muhammad (Madhi)and that the Honorable Elijah Muhammad is the Messiah.
