The American So-Called Negroes' Salvation Is In Islam
The Only True Religion Of God
(continued from last week)

THE POOR people called Negroes, who are not Negroes but descendants of the Tribe of Shabazz, are the victims of every known cruelty and evil treatment know to mankind. Through being ignorant of the knowledge of self and others, they bring a lot of it upon themselves. The One and Powerful God is now seeking them to believe in Him alone that He alone will defend and deliver them once and forever from the cruel hands of those that hate and kill them daily.

Their fear and a belief are not in God nor Jesus, but in the white race their slavemasters. Were we to put all of our faith and fear in the One god Allah, we will not suffer. The so-called Negroes are home-born slaves and they think that they should be recognized as equals to everything with their slavemasters. They boast in calling themselves after the names of the slavemasters and citizens of America and at the same time begging their masters for civil rights - and their so-called spiritual leaders disgracing themselves, preaching and offering up prayers to a dead prophet (Jesus) and an unknown God that they imagine is living somewhere in the skies. When one enemy mistreats them, they seek refuge in the enemy's brothers that they may punish their brother for the wrongs done to them. This shows how blind and ignorant the poor so-called Negroes' spiritual leaders are.

THEY SELL themselves to be friends of the enemies of their own people to oppose their own salvation; thus becoming agents of the slavemasters against their own people. They are leading themselves and their poor, blind, deaf and dumb people to destruction. May Allah help me to open their eyes before it is too late.

They need the help of the One God Allah who is now with outstretched arms willing and able to help us all. the slavemasters gladly put them on the air to preach shout out their ignorance to the public - any government that has respect for its religion wouldn't allow an ignorant (one that doesn't know the true meanings) person to represent it to the public.

The black nations' religion, Islam, is a true and upright religion of a True and Upright God of whom the so-called Negroes are members, who are blinded, robbed and spoiled by the slavemasters. They really feel and think that they are the same as their masters. They seek their masters' friendship above Allah (God) and feel secure in doing it. May Allah have mercy on my people in America.


OF ALL the histories on people being enslaved by others never have you read where the slaves loved and worshipped their slavemasters, but the so-called Negroes who live under death from the enemy beaten and killed in the public like wild animals and they never are recognized in the slavemasters' so-called courts of justice as an equal citizen of the land. The smart enemies keep their eyes and ears open on the so-called Negroes, night and day seeking an excuse to kill them.

The lack of love, unity and self-respect among us is one of our greatest enemies. Love your black, brown, yellow and red brothers as thyself; do good by each other; never think of shedding the blood of your own kind, treat all human beings right as you are the righteous -then do righteous by all; but if we do good only to self and evil to others, we can't be called the righteous.

THE ABOVE said must not be taken to mean that we should love the devils, but do righteous and justice according to the law of justice. God does not love the devils, but His work of righteousness and justice extends over all. Say: "Do you bid me serve others than Allah, 0 ye ignorant ones? And certainly it has been revealed to thee and to those before thee: If thou associate with Allah (God) their work would certainly come to nought and thou wouldst be a loser. Nay, but serve along and be of the thankful. The whole earth will be in His grip on the day of resurrection (at the present time) and the heavens rolled up in His right hand."

Hurry and join on to your own. Just write me and say I believe, write me down on the book of life.

Elijah Muhammad (Messenger of Allah), 5335 S. Greenwood Ave., Chicago, 15, Ill. Don't forget to help all that you can and Allah won't forget you.
