In the Name of Allah Master Fard Muhammad and In the Name of His Last and Greatest Messenger The Honorable Elijah Muhammad
Dear Brother Fahim,
The spirit of your response to Bro.Seventhfam is well taken, and the fact that you are not too proud to humble yourself to truth may eventually warrant you understanding in regards to this issue. It doesn't mean that Allah has "sealed your heart" simply because you still have questions on your heart, this just shows the depth of how far someone can sink into what they have wholeheartedly accepted as "The Right Path." Your acceptance of truth and the spirit of your acceptance of that truth when it comes makes the distinction.
Brother you stated that as far as you know the
Messenger never rebuked Clarence. Please re-read my post to you concerning pg.260 MTTBM in reference to "those who have tasted the blessings of Allah and then turn back". This holds true for not just Clarence 13X but for all who break ranks with Allahs' Last and Chosen Messenger including Malcolm and all hypocrites of the Messenger. Instructions are given not to kill the hypocrites
as a mercy that they may repent and amend their evil ways against Allah and his Messenger but if they die before they repent then they did not die the death of a muslim but as a hypocrite to their Nation, never getting another chance to correct the wrongs with the ones they deceived or mislead that believed in them. This is criminal and unforgiveable in the sight of Allah.
Furthemore, the Honorable Elijah Muhammad would not welcome knowledge from whatever source it may flow no more than your parents would allow you to accept anything from strangers. They would be very watchful over your every move while still in your youth, and would allow you only to eat what they would feed you or permit you to be fed.This is why the Messenger is called a Shephard over his sheep.
He is sent by One who is Supreme in Knowledge Wisdom and Understanding therefore is independent of anyone. (The Lord is My Shephard, I SHALL NOT WANT).
Brother Fahim, the reason you may not find Clarence saying ANYTHING WRONG with the program of the Honorable Elijah Muhammad is because to do so is to undermine the very foundation in which he stood on. The Supreme Wisdom lessons of THE NATION OF ISLAM which was given by our Saviour for REGISTERED MUSLIM ONLY meaning THE FRUIT OF ISLAM AND MGT AND GCC and not to be given out to the public for there is a process to become a registered muslim and this is a restrictive law.
To take something that you did not originate and put your name on it claiming to be its' founder and leader is ROBBERY AND THIEVERY. Then to begin a process of GRAFTING by adding your own evil additions to it thereby attempting to give it your own signature making it no longer original is FALSE MISREPRESENTATION OF THE TRUTH or in a word DEVIL.
The only reason why those teachings "taste so good" to you is because of the essence of the SUPREME WISDOM (Lessons) which is the " MAIN INGREDIENT" that Clarence used to get those to follow him. You have what appears to be fresh fruit but it is void of the vitamins and nutrients due to tampering with the natural process. If you've ever tasted a carrot pie and a sweet potatoe pie you'll notice that the tastes are very similar but one is more healthy for you than the other (sweet potatoes are not good for our digestive systems for they produce gas and we should not eat them so says Messenger Elijah Muhammad in "How to Eat to Live ".) So it is with deviants and hypocrites of the Mesenger, for they are not healthy in the sight of Allah and therefore we should not EAT FROM THEM. Only from the TREE OF LIFE and that is what the Messenger represents to us. I hope you understand Brother Fahim.
AS-SALAAM-ALAIKUM
