A brother on this message boad claimed that if you went into the Mosques, headed by Minister Farrakhan, they would be empty. Why should this surprise you. Many of us who say we believe really don't. The Messenger said that you could turn hypocite over night. Look at all of the so-called believers that were under the Messenger. Over half of them went back out into the world. This was no reflection of the Messenger's leadership, though. The same is true with the Minister. The Minister has also said, on several occasions, that his best and strongest warriors, (and others who love and support him), are not necessarily registered Muslims, but those who are out in the streets in the high ways and by ways. I happen to be a registered MGT under Minister Farrakhan. I don't want to engage in petty verbal exchanges on a message board, however, I would like to put this challenge to Seventhfam, Kevin Ali, and others. I would like to see you post some of the works that you are doing or have done for the upliftment of our people. It's easy to name call and criticize others, but a person's works speak for itself. If you find it absolutely unbearable to believe that the Minister is currently sittng in the seat of the Messenger until he returns, that is between you and Allah. If you belive that you are following the teachings correctly, what doors have you opened for our people? Also, where are your blessings? The Messenger promised us, moey, good homes, and FRIENDSHIPS IN ALL WALKS OF LIFE. I wonder how well you would be received in Libya, Afica, or any other country. Are YOU trying to engage in international trade. Has anyone ever offered you a billion dollars to help further the cause of Black people. Allah never blocks the blessings of a true believer. You say that you belive. Just remember, "mere belief is nothing unless put into practice, and "Faith without works is dead."
