I awoke today (August 26) remembering that this is the 56th anniversary
of the release of the Honorable Elijah Muhammad, from a Federal
prison, in Milan, Michigan, in 1946. He was arrested in Washington, D.
C. May, 1942, on the orders of President Roosevelt in violation of
Americas own selective service laws. He was over the age the law
stated men could legally be drafted for Americas war effort.
A few days after his release, one in authority informed him that Roosevelt had him arrested to get him out of the public,
as America prosecuted the war.
Thirteen years later, in 1959, he triumphantly entered Washington, D.C., with a police escort, to meet and teach
10,000.
Tonight, I saw and heard the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan interviewed by Mr. Phil Donahue, on his televised
program. Minister Farrakhan was divinely brilliant!
Mr. Donahue tried, but failed to bait Minister Farrakhan with his immature efforts to degrade the Minister. He said he
understood Minister Farrakhan. If he does, he hid it in his immature effort to marginalize him. Hes wrong to say people
come out to hear him because he speaks to their anger.
In this confused and dangerous state of affairs, people want understanding. Minister Farrakhan fearlessly serves that
need with truth, which clears away the confusion of deceivers. He brings sanity where insanity resides. He casts truth
where lies prevail. He rises above the evil planning of the wicked, regardless to their power; their wealth and so-called
wisdom.
How? Its by the wisdom, power, wealth, and
strength of Him Who is infinitely superior to
Minister Farrakhans opposers.
Think over Minister Farrakhans words, respecting
reparations for Black people, that it must include a
transfer of knowledge, along with the
knowledge of how to use that knowledge for the
benefit of self, kind, and land.
God Himself has placed Minister Farrakhan, after
his teacher (the Honorable Elijah Muhammad), in
the forefront of the transfer of that knowledge,
which is the foundation of all knowledge.
This fact was obvious at the reparations march. It was obvious on Donahues program, which, in my view, was
orchestrated by others, of which Mr. Donohue was the visible part. Their plan backfired. Donahue looked
embarrassed.
In my last article, I closed a set of points with "There are acts that God wills, which may seem different from the other
acts He actively wills. These acts occur in exceptional instances, and are rare, in terms of the number of human beings
in whose lives they occur."
What were called miracles and wonders occurred ever so often in the lives of the general mass of the people. Such
terms were also used with reference to events in the lives of the prophets. However, such events occurred with greater
frequency in their lives.
The rise of science, in the Western world, has now provided explanations for that which until then was mysterious.
That wonderful book, the Holy Quran, contains variations of the following statement. Allah states in (Surah Yusuf
converted by W eb2PDFConvert.com

12:111), in part, that it is "a distinct explanation of all things. ..."

True explanations generate truth and are always scientific.
God has come. So there is nothing now that cannot be explained. There is now nothing that cannot be understood.
Gods supreme wisdom is being taught. But we are slow to comprehend it. Is it because it has come through a Black
man and is being proved again by a Black manboth born in America?
Jesus taught how little children can show us how to relate towards God and His wisdom. Americas leaders need this
lesson, too.
Recall Minister Farrakhans words on patience. The Quran repeatedly teaches patience. The Honorable Elijah
Muhammad said, "To teach truth in a land where falsehood has reigned supreme, takes patience on the part of the
teacher as well as the ones being taught." Without patience we cant grow.
Now, there are acts that God wills, which may, at first, have the appearance of evil, but are good. Again, the history of
the prophets of Allah contain such incidents which to many (then and now) seem paradoxical; contradictory;
inconsistent; irrational; illogical; absurd; confused; incompatible and irreconcilable to their ideas of how things ought to
be done.
Some acts that He permits, may at first have the appearance and feel of good, but are evil. Of course, this has occurred
often during the past 6,000 years of Satans rule.
According to history, the Almighty has permitted what seems, by the ordinary standards of this world, that which is evil,
to facilitate His good purposes.
Whenever He initiates or permits the above kinds of acts, it is due to exceptional circumstances and serves His
purposes to effect exceptional and profoundly widespread good and value for that time period and far afterwards. His
supreme wisdom and unique foresight is always called for and involved, in these very special situations. Furthermore,
He uses His wisdom and power in ways that predetermines the outcome or consequences of such acts to serve His
righteous purposeswithout doing injustice to anyone.
The enslavement of Black people in America is a huge example of these truths.
This in no way is saying that to produce good, evil must be done. To think this is to manifest the Satan of self. To think
this is to say that Satan preceded God; that evil preceded good and that lie preceded truth. And yet, there is a huge
truth here. The greater the evil God permitsnot initiatesthe greater the good that will come afterwards. Minister
Farrakhan covered this in an earlier article, even to the value of chaos.
The Holy Quran teaches this principle in several ways. One is: "After difficulty comes ease." Yusuf Ali puts it that right
in the difficulty is the ease, or the way out of the difficulty.
Allah always provides the way to Him and success. But, will we take that way out to Allah? Its also stated that in
every difficulty, or seemingly impossible hardship, or situation, is the seed of a superior benefit or condition but only
comes after the bad condition the person(s) was/were in.
We must make Allahs will our will and continue to become like Him to achieve such blessing. This is key towards
getting out of the bad and into the better.
If one rejects, when shown the way out, the persons retardation intensifies. This refusal, if not halted, drives the person
towards the meeting with a horrible, disgraceful and miserable state. Take the seed, or the way that Allah has provided,
in our condition, regardless to what it may be, and make it to grow by obedience, and we come out of it into that which
is far superior.
This and more is right in Minister Farrakhans study guides. As our attitude towards Gods man matures, we grow
spiritually, which undergirds all other growth.
On May 1st, Minister Farrakhan responded to questions about six sciences, of which this world has some information.
They were the sciences of music, medicine, color, business, mating and warfare. Then came the sevenththe "mother
of all" sciences.
