Messenger's Teachings on Carrying Weapons

Words of Messenger Elijah Muhammad Reprinted from the January 28, 1972 edition of Muhammad Speaks Newspaper

"My reaction is to continue to teach them to not do these things as I have always. I do not believe in carrying weapons. When a man puts weapons in his pockets, or a gun, I will make it Clear, it takes his mind off God's protection and puts it on the gun to protect him. This I have taught my followers ever since God left me: 'Do not carry weapons, because that is not a protection for the people who manufacture such weapons. They cannot save their own lives with them today.' "
