A CONTINUATION OF ELIJAH MUHAMMAD’S TEACHINGS ON VARIOUS TOPICS
Elijah Muhammad (1897-1975) wrote in his Foreword to this book (no publication date is given), “You perhaps wonder why we call this little book ‘The Supreme Wisdom.’ It is because most every word used in it is from the Lord of the worlds, THE SUPREME BEING, especially where you read of the History of the Caucasian Race; the History of the Black Nation and Prophets; the Doom of America---how she will be destroyed; the Hereafter; the Future of the So-Called Negroes---Tribe of Shabazz’... what happened 66 trillion years ago, 50,000 years ago and 6,000 years ago. All of the answers are directly from the mouth of Allah (God) in the Person of Master W.F. Muhammad, to Whom all praise is due, the Great Mahdi or Messiah, as the Christians say, and He is also the Son of Man. He alone has taught me and continues to reveal His truth to me, although to some it is unbelievable; but search your Scriptures and you will find that they verify that which you read in this book---that which Allah (God) has revealed to me. If the so-called Negroes will accept it, they will be successful and see the Hereafter. If not, they will be destroyed along with those who are destroyed.” (Pg. 2)
Editor-Publisher Abdul Basit Naeem wrote in his Introduction, “A feeble little man in the U.S.A…. is asking those of his kind (the 17 million so-called Negroes in America) to shed the West’s ‘sinful and foolish’ way of life---Christianity and all---and to rally around the banner of Islam… The man I am referring to, of course, is none other than the honorable Elijah Muhammad, author of this book. The preaching of Islam among a people whose belief in Jesus being God (which he was NOT) actually exceeds the limits of fanaticism, and whose churches and pastors have the powerful backing of the entire Christendom, is no easy task for any Muslim. The efforts of Mr. Elijah Muhammad, however… proves that most surely Allah, our Almighty God, is with him. I firmly believe the American so-called Negroes (who are not as yet the Believers) would do well to accept the advice of Mr. Elijah Muhammad, who is from among their own, and accept Islam as their Way of Life.” (Pg. 3)
There follows 80 pages of teachings of Elijah Muhammad on various topics (the topics are listed alphabetically in the ‘Contents’). (NOTE: a few of these are duplicates of teachings in Vol. One.)
Allah, Not Sword: “The old Christian missionaries… were so grieved over the great successes of Muhammad and Islam that they have written falsely… by attributing his success to the use of the sword instead of to Allah… Muhammad and his followers were successful in their wars with their enemies because Allah… was on their side… Here I might ask, is it the sword that is spreading Islam all over the world today, even here in America?” (Pg. 11)
Who Is the Original Man? “The Original Man, Allah has declared, is none other than the black man. He is the first and the last, and maker and owner of the universe; from him come all---brown, yellow, red and white. By using a special method of birth control law, the black man was able to produce the white race. The true knowledge of the black and white mankind should be enough to awaken the so-called Negroes, put them on … the road to self-independence.” (Pg. 14)
History of the Original Man: “Now it is so easy to recognize the… Original Man, by the histories of the two (black and white) peoples. We find that history teaches that the earth was populated by the black nation ever since it was created, but the history of the white race doesn’t take us beyond 6,000 years.” (Pg. 15)
98% of the So-Called Negroes Doubt Islam: “98% of ... Negroes are at the present time in doubt about Islam being their true religion. The other 2% are with me---but they will all be with me as soon as they see and feel a little of the chastisement from Allah.” (Pg. 17)
Why Don’t the White People Leave Us Alone? “Many white Christians boast of America being a white man’s country, but why did they bring US here? And if the white race is such a superior race, why don’t they live alone—and leave US to live alone in OUR own country? Why are they fighting to stay in Asia? Why aren’t they satisfied with Europe and America?” (Pg. 24)
America is Falling: “America is falling, my people. She has to fall, because she is a habitation of devils and every uncleanness and hateful people of the righteous. Forsake her and fly to your own---before it is too late.” (Pg. 34)
A Show of Temptation: “These days America puts on a show of temptation with her (white) women posing half-nude in the so-called Negroes’ faces in the most indecent manner that is known to mankind… The purpose of this Show of Temptation is to trick and drag the so-called Negroes to death and hell with them.” (Pg. 38)
Separation from the Slavemasters Is a Must: “Separation of the so-called Negroes from their slavemasters’ children is a MUST. It is the only SOLUTION to our problem.” (Pg. 39)
For My Followers, Hereafter Is Now! “Everyone of us---the so-called Negroes---who accepts the religion of Islam and follows What Allah has revealed to me will begin enjoying the … Hereafter life HERE, now!… (As-Salaam-Alaikum.) ...You will be clothed in silk, interwoven with gold, and eat the best food that you desire.”
The Hereafter Not a Life of Spirit: “My people have been deceived by the arch deceiver in regards to the Hereafter. They think the Hereafter is a life of spirits (spooks) up somewhere in the sky, while it is only on the earth, and you won’t change to any spirit beings. The life in the hereafter is only a continuation of the present life. You will be flesh and blood. You won’t see spooks coming out of graves to meet God.” (Pg. 41)
Hell Is In White Man’s Christianity: “I don’t have to say to the so-called Negroes that hell is for them in white man’s Christianity! They know it and have experienced it, in this Christians’ hell.” (Pg. 42)
Islam Alone Can Unite the So-Called Negroes: “It is a great job trying to change the so-called Negroes from the ways of their slavemasters and to unite them. It may take much suffering but I say that it CAN be done. Islam will unite us all. I know Christianity can’t unite us; instead, it divides us. That is what it was intended to do, to divide people.” (Pg. 49)
White Race Will Never Accept Islam: “The white race, by nature, can’t be righteous. Islam was taught to them from Moses to Muhammad, but they were never able to live the life of a Muslim believer and can’t do it today. This fact the so-called Negroes must learn about the white race. They must learn that the white race cannot be righteous unless they could be born again (grafted back into the black man).” (Pg. 50)
Our Men are to Blame for the Women’s Condition: “Our (so-called Negro) women fill themselves and you with social diseases of the devil white race. Neither you nor she is wanted in the society of the intelligent people. Who is to blame for her condition? It is YOU MEN who are to blame, not women. It is you, the men, and not women, who are the heads of your families.” (Pg. 57)
The Pope of Rome: “The white Christians falsely say and teach that their religion is taken from Jesus. In reality, it’s from the Pope of Rome who is the head of the Church, and not Jesus. The blinded, deaf and dumb of my people, therefore, can never hope to be successful with their white enemies being their religious heads and guides.” (Pg. 77-78)
Jesus Was Not God or Son of God or Equal of Him: “Jesus had said in his suffering, ‘My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?’ (Mt 27:46) This indicates that Jesus did not consider himself to be God… or equal of Him. There are many other Bible verses which prove that Jesus was only a man and prophet of Allah… I give three: ‘Is there a God besides Me? I know not any.’ (Is 44:22) ‘I am God, there is none else.’ (Is 46:9) ‘One God and none other.’ (Mk 12:32)
It is Infidelic to Believe In or Teach of Trinity: “I must warn you once again on this question---of ‘sonship to God.’ It is not only foolish to believe in or teach the Trinity but it is also purely infidelic and a sin.” (Pg. 83)
The Final Call: “The soil of America, soaked with the innocent blood of the so-called Negroes shed by their (the devils’) wicked race, now crieth out to its Maker for her great burden, and the day has arrived for Allah to descend PLAGUE UPON PLAGUE upon her until the wicked are completely destroyed… The Final Call has been given out. It is now the time of DECISION. What is yours?” (Pg. 85)
This book will be “must reading” for anyone studying the Nation of Islam Elijah Muhammad.
