About this ebook
It has been approximately 40 years since these articles have been written. Many of the truths in them are not being taught today. You will find some of them in certain books compiled by Elijah Muhammad and then others may surface every now and then in photocopy or a citing here and there.
In any case, these articles represent those submitted to various new organs of the early 50's and 60's. Some of these newspapers are no longer in business and others have simply gone through economic and social change prompting them to change their name and management.
In the early days, when there was no Muhammad Speaks newspaper, which had become the official newspaper of the Nation of Islam, Elijah Muhammad submitted articles to various local papers for publication. Some of these newspapers were the Herald Dispatch, Amsterdam News, The Crusader and the Pittsburgh Courier.
In various instances, after submitting articles, the Brotherhood of the Fruit of Islam (FOI) would begin distributing the papers in an effort to get the articles in Black people's hand. The sharp increase in distribution produced leverage with the paper that gave an "insurance" that the Messenger would be published. It was due to the Nation of Islam's distribution of many of these papers that pushed it into the status of mainstream in the black community. Previously, these tabloids were no more than nickel and dime shopper guides.
Some of these articles are included in parts of Elijah Muhammad's books, as pointed out in their respective acknowledgements, making it clear that all of his books are actual compilations of previous speeches, articles and lectures. Considering the Messenger is one of the most prolific writers of our time, many of his articles were not included in his standard books. This work fell to those of us who understand that the guidance we need in his absence is in his literature. This is nothing new to those who mind.
Our motivation for publishing these articles is simple. There are many truths that Messenger Elijah Muhammad taught that are not available today. We, therefore, are rising to the occasion to satisfy this vacuum. "In the absence of the Trainer, the training will rise up and meet the occasion."
We trust that if the reader reads something he or she has read before, it will only enhance their knowledge base. There, however, are many items that will be fairly new to you. We hope that whatever experience one has, it will be one that benefits our nation and in this way, regardless of when or if you have read it, you will act upon the principle contained herein. For as Elijah Muhammad, Messenger of Allah, said, "Mere belief counts for nothing, unless carried into practice."

INTRODUCTION
"We believe that the offer of integration is hypocritical and is made by those who are trying to deceive the black people into believing that their 400-year-old open enemies of freedom, justice and equality are all of a sudden their friends. Furthermore, we believe that such deception is intended to prevent black people from realizing that the time in History has arrived for the separation from the whites of this nation.
If the white people are truthful about their professed friendship towards the so-called Negro, they can prove it by dividing up America with their slaves. We do not believe that America will ever be able to furnish enough jobs for her own millions of unemployed in addition to jobs for the 20,000,000 (now approximately 40-50 million) black people as well." (The Muslim Program, Belief 9)
This is one of the Muslim Beliefs established by Elijah Muhammad, Messenger of Allah. We, His followers, believe as he believes. Within the past 40 years or so, America has stepped up its campaign of trying to convince blacks in America that they want to live side by side, ride the bus side by side, go to school side by side, work side by side, eat, drink and intermarry. Yet, one must still ask if after all this and introduction, tolerance and now dissipation of Affirmative Action, have blacks to date got anything of significance?
For many of the well-to-do blacks in America, it seems that the greatest aspiration they have is to do exactly as their former slave-master's do, even to intermarrying with them. Accompanying these steps is the acquired mind-set and new politically correct loaded language
that all people have red blood and that we therefore are all part of one human family. Nothing could be further from the truth. Have we forgotten (for those who have known at any point) that the United States of America is an experiment in democracy? Who said the experiment was over?
If one looks closely at the meager tokenism offered to symbolize freedom, justice and equality for the once slaves here in America, it will insult anyone's intelligence. White America had never been serious at offering anything to blacks that would in essence represent, nor lead to, self-independence. Their offers have been and still are nothing more than pacification. There has never been, and still isn't any substance to what they've offered their once slaves to compensate them for the losses incurred as a result of not only forced chattel slavery, but the systematic robbery of their God-given identity and human rights. When looking at what's being offered by this country in comparison to what has been taken, one can start seeing the hypocrisy. I say start here, because it is only the tip of the iceberg.
Elijah Muhammad, Messenger of Allah, had pointed out for over 40 years the true interpretations of biblical as well as qur'anic scripture; wherein, both books speaks of a time when God Himself would come and raise up, or resurrect a dead people. What we didn't understand is that it would not be a physically dead people, but a people who had been mentally dead. This mental death would be a direct result of slavery in America, and as before mentioned, the blacks having been systematically robbed of their self-knowledge: original names, language, culture, religion, and God, consequently rendered them categorically dead
when it came to knowing, functioning or acting like civilized humans. In fact, the mental robbery coupled with a government system, which made it law to treat them as live stock and chattel, this effectively rendered them on the level of beast; thus property.
The scriptures further prophesied that one day God would come to this people and raise them up from this mental death. Due to the fact that the slave-master didn't want any foreigners near his property,
this wise God came like a thief in the night without observation, while men slept.
Having come among the people, He didn't attempt to raise them all Himself, but to search for one to teach and that one was missioned to teach the rest. The God Who was to come and did come is Allah (God), Master Fard Muhammad, and the one He raise up first, otherwise, known as the First Begotten of the Dead, is none other than Elijah Muhammad, Messenger of Allah (God).
God's coming, finding and raising up a people, whom the Bible refers to as Lost Sheep,
is prophesied to take place approximately 400 years after them being in slavery; whereas, after that time He would come. His intent was to raise a Messenger, and mission that Messenger to restore us to what we once were before being made slaves, re-educated us back into the knowledge of ourselves, civilize us, dignify us, and qualify us to be fit once again to interact with other civilized nations as an independent nation, which means a total and complete separation from the slave-master and the slave-master's children.
Our own personal experiences with white America has proven beyond a shadow of a doubt that they are disagreeable to live with in peace; however, what Elijah Muhammad, Messenger of Allah has pointed out, is that the whites know scripture too and know that this is the time for separation of blacks and whites, and they want to keep us among them as a prey; consequently, they are pushing the offer of integration, not for the purpose of reconciliation or atonement, but to cause as many of his once slaves and their children to go down with him and his country. Integration is bait for those who have wanted to be accepted by America all their lives and now feel their time to take part in America has now arrived.
To sum this relationship up is like being a slave at the bottom of a large luxurious boat for all of your life and now you and the slave-master now see another boat sail towards you with black people in control, and instead of your slave-master either allowing you to own a place on his boat (which you and your parents built with free labor) or helping you to relocate on the boat coming for you with your people, he opens up his boat to you and allows you to come up to the boat, puts you third in charge of driving (something mentally unchallenging) and lets you wear one of his old captains hats, then tells you that the boat now belongs to you too. Your mind is already set for that and it would be natural to understand if you would accept that, but the deception comes in when the Whiteman knows that he brought you up top because he didn't want you to see the large hole at the bottom, and if he allows you to believe that the boat is as much yours as his then you'll fight harder for it than he would. This in essence causes the once slave to turn enemy against his own salvation and people, when in fact this is the time of his own independence and freedom. The slave-master knows that the slave is completely ignorant as to what true freedom is and therefore keeps him blind, deaf and dumb to that knowledge and truth that would enable the slave to make an intelligent decision.
So today whites are permitting blacks to participate in a vast number of posts, even to government. They have become so confident in their deception; they will even allow once-slaves to run for the highest office in the land. Reverend Jesse Jackson ran twice and now they're working on the experiment of Collin Powell. The past few elections would make one believe that of all the highly qualified potential nation builders our race has to offer, we can find none to send to represent us but a couple of homeless Baptist preachers, who have no more to their credit than sleeping in the Lincoln suite at the house at the invitation of the president, who as well, was accompanied by someone other than his wife or twisting the arms of corporations to extort money from them in the name of justice for their brethren. This shouldn’t come as a surprise, because their predecessors trained them this way.
Historically their greatest project is the civil rights movement. It is programmed
common knowledge that the Reverend Doctor Martin Luther King, Jr. spearheaded this movement and eventually staged the March on Washington; however, the common man's knowledge is in need of correction.
It was the government of America who made it possible for
