By Messenger Elijah Muhammad
The following article is transcribed from an audio-taped copy of the National Radio Broadcast of Mr. Muhammad Speaks
Hereafter means after the Holy War or after Armageddon or after the war between Satan and Almighty God. This is what is meant when we say the Hereafter. It means after the war between right and wrong has been fought. This war is oft-times called a war between God and the devil.
The devil seeks to hold supremacy over God. Since that he has ruled the people for 6,000 years, he desires to continue to try to hold his place as a ruler of the people. And seeks to bring, before the people, every opposition that he possibly can to destroy their heart and their minds towards the worship and obedience to Almighty God, Allah.
Here, in the Western Hemisphere in America, where (there is) twenty-two million original black people live, whose fathers suffered slavery for around 300 long years. And that this enslavement of our fathers has caused us to believe in the enemy or adversary of God, the real devil himself.
And that it is hard today to get our people to disbelieve in the devil and believe in Almighty God, because they never knew anything of God or the devil only by the teachings of the slavemaster. And the slave master was always careful to conceal himself that they might not know who he is and therefore it was impossible for them to learn who was God and who was the devil.
These are really two Gods. The devil is a god himself, as mentioned by Jesus in the New Testament, that he is the god of this world, the prince of the power of air. This is true that the devil has been the Ruler for 6,000 years and god of this world.
This world means the world of the devil. Under his rule, people forget the real true God and the way to that true God because that he will not teach the people.
Again the parable of Divine or the Fig tree that Jesus, as the Book says, cursed, was also a sign of this world that this world have never produced converts to the will of Almighty God, Allah. Never has any so-called American Negro been taught by white people to believe in Almighty God, Allah and his True Religion, Islam.
Only in the higher organizations or we say Masonry or the Masonic. There is a little teachings, there at the top most of this particular order, that mentions the Teachings of Almighty God, Allah. But you have to pay a lot of money to become a 33rd degree Mason. Therefore you are victim, as Isaiah teaches you, that you buy that which does not bring you any gain.
To buy that kind of teaching does not gain you the Hereafter. We must have something that is pure. A Mason can not be a good Mason unless he knows the Holy Quran and follows its teachings. This book is the only book that will make a true Mason. The Bible won't make you a true one.
I say if you are a true Moslem Shriner, then all right, let's have it in the open and not in the secret.
These things I warn you that are listening, that the time is now ripe, and it has passed, that everything, everything of good or bad must be made known.
We are living in the end of this world. The judgment of this world. These are the days of Judgment, mentioned in the Bible, as that "In the Days of Judgment" or "In the Days of the Resurrection of the Dead". These days represent years and not just a little twenty-four hour day, as you know them to be, but they mean years. In the years of the Judgment or the Resurrection of the Dead. We are in those Days now.
The coming of Allah and the Teachings of Islam to we, who has been lost from our kind and native land or country for the past 400 years means the Judgment.
God doesn't come until the Judgment or until the end of the world of Satan. As you have it written in the Bible, prophesied throughout the Bible and also absolutely mentioned in Thessolonians. That "God comes after the workings of Satan", the devil. And after he has done all that he possibly can do of evil, then God comes. Allowing him to go to the full, or giving him the freedom to try and take all the people with to hell, if possible.
These are the days, now, that we are living in.
I want you to understand, my dear people, you are not in the actual way of the truth. You have not actually believed it. The time now has come that even if you would just turn to Almighty God you would enjoy salvation or heaven in this world. And in the Hereafter you are sure of the heaven, but in this life.
God gives the righteous a peace of mind and contentment. He is the protector of the righteous after He makes His appearance, He is the guide and He is the guardian of the righteous.
Today, now, as you see, and as you have preached it probably (you ministers of the Christian religion) that the Judgment will come and that there will be a great separation at the Judgment. This is true. But you don't believe that you are, now, living in such time that there is a great separation now in the workings.
When you heard, first, that there was someone in your midst giving the names, seemingly to you, foreign names or alien names; such names as, Karim, Beyah, Muhammad and Farrakhan, Hassan, and Hassien and such names as Ali and many names that you are now hearing being given to your own people and they are being called by these names.
You are so dead to the knowledge of self and kind, and the knowledge of the truth and the true God, that you even don't pay any attention to it. But even makes fun of these names because you never heard of these names before... and you are called foolish or fools in the Bible and in the Holy Qur'an...Instead of grabbing a dictionary to see what such names mean.
And when you learn that these names mean the good names of God, as mentioned in most all of the teachings of religion. That God has 99 names and the 100th is Allah. That means that He's all of the names of Good.
And that the Bible teaches you, if you will agree with me, that no one will escape or will see the Hereafter unless he has the name of Almighty God, Allah. You have to have one of these 99 names.
Now God has come, as your Bible teaches you, and has given to us His own holy name. They are holy names. I want you to remember that. Not one of these names that you look up the definitions or interpretation, as you may call it, that does not mean a good name or a Divine name. These names is true. Look in your dictionary, and you will find them, the meaning of them.
Take for an instance, that many of you foolish or fools will even laugh at hearing one of you being called Muhammad. Muhammad means praise and praiseworthy. It's a name of God Almighty, that means that God is praised and God is worthy to be praised. And when this name is given to you, just remember that you are a person is called praised and you are worthy of praise.
All Divine people, I mean the Black people, as Almighty God has taught me, in the Person of Master Fard Muhammad, are entitled to these names, because as the Bible teaches you in the sign, that they all are Gods and the children of the heavenly kingdom.
So since you are the children in knowledge, that what it means. The Lost/Founds are children in the knowledge of God. It doesn't mean in the age of you, but in the knowledge of your God, you are nothing but children. And that is true. And that they are given these name because they are by nature, from God. And they are of God and they deserve to be called gods too, because they are gods. They came from God and they're the children of God. And as you find it mentioned in the New Testament, to them whom He reveals Himself, referring to the Jesus, that they became the sons of God.
This you are very ignorant to be laughing and making fun of such names, as Divine Supreme Being names.
Because of the white man, who enslaved your father and made them blind, deaf, and dumb to the knowledge of themselves, you follow what they have revealed to you and not what God has revealed, but what the whiteman revealed.
You have taken them for God. And you worship them as God, as it is written again in the Revelation and elsewhere in the Bible, that you worship devils. And this is a kind of a thing that Allah has come to you to make manifest that you may turn to your own God and be saved and see the Hereafter.
Allah is well able to take care of you. Fear not that you will be the loser if you believe in Allah. Allah has always, in the past and at the present, taken care of his own people. He's never too weak to take care of them. You have read in the Scripture and History of the past, where that God protected His own people from the evil-doers and from the destruction of the evil-doers. How well He is able to do that today. He created the heavens and the earth. And everything in it is His. He has power over everything. This you must understand.
You laugh at the name Allah, because the white man never did teach you that the Divine Supreme Being, His proper name is Allah. Because that he didn't want you to believe in Islam. This is true.
They don't want you to believe in Islam, though there are some white people in America that are true believers in Islam, I would say that there are many of them. They run into the thousands and they actually believe in the teachings of Islam, but by nature they are not real Muslims or they are not the children of God, but they believe in Almighty God, Allah and His teaching.
These are the people that you find written in the Book, that a remnant of them will be saved. These people, it is true, if they hold fast and does not lose their salvation by hating to hear the real truth of them, they will be removed out of the area where there will be war between God and the devil.
It is only the people who opposes God, that God will fight and bring to a naught. It is not the people who does not oppose God and who does not teach other people to oppose Him. But it is that vicious and evil people, who teaches against the belief in Almighty God and teaches other people to hate those that believe in Almighty God, Allah. These are the people that receives the severe Judgment of God.
I warn you, my people, since I see that you don't understand too well, that you should come to knowledge of the truth. You should listen a little, to me. And you should follow me. But you are a little too proud to do so at the present time. But there is coming a thing that God will cause to take place that you will be forced to believe and submit. And on that day you will be shame to do so because you have already rejected the truth and refused to follow the Inviter of the truth, and therefore, on that day, you will be shamed and disgraced to come to the inviter of the truth.
I say to you, my friends that is listening to this, that this is the Judgment. America is headed for total Divine Judgment.
This is the fourth Beast, mentioned in Daniel, that God will Destroy first. And the other Beasts, their lives will be prolonged for a time, a time after. This is also known to all of the Scientists and Scholars on the Scripture. It is well known.
And that this is the symbolic Beast that Daniel saw and the same Beast mentioned in the Revelation of the Bible, rising up and becoming stronger than all of his predecessors, but was destroyed because that he rose up against Almighty God, Allah, to pick a war against Him.
And that he went forth to gather people, as the Revelation says, to that mighty battle between Almighty God and Satan. Gather people to help him fight and oppose God setting up a kingdom of peace and righteousness. This is the one, America.
And America is, now, under Divine Chastisement, and will end up into fire. That is known. There is no protection. No defense from Divine Judgment.
You can't fight God and win! You have nothing to fight and oppose Him. God fights you with the forces of nature. And the forces of nature, you have no control over. If He would send a blast of heat from the sun, He could lick you up without any further ado over you. He could cause the earth to shake and bring down every one of your villages, towns and cities throughout the land in the twinkling of an eye. He could bring down hail and snow from the North and destroy you with cold, bitter bitter cold, weather, as He did people in the past, as the Holy Qur'an mentions the people to you, was destroyed by cold weather and a cold blasting wind for eight days. Eight days and seven nights, these winds coming out of the North with freezing temperatures, destroyed the people.
You cannot fight God. It's impossible.
My friends, now, I want to say to you, do not hate the Messenger for teaching you the truth. You should be glad to hear the Messenger of God teach you the truth in these days and times. It puts you aware of what you are doing.
Ninevah heard the Message of Almighty God coming to them from Jonah. They repented. They foresaked their luxury and sat in the dust to repent of their evil, and God gave to Ninevah an extension of life.
No, I don't think you will do these things, because it is already written that you will do what you are doing. And I don't think that you will repent. Though if you would repent, God will accept your repentency and maybe get you and your children in the future, who will not repent. But you probably are already the children of the future, who have refused to repent.
And today, I warn you, my listeners, you are living in the Day of The Judgment. And America is on the list of God to be destroyed, as God has already taught me and warned me and taught me the way He will destroy America.
I said to you in 1958 in Washington, that by 1970 that the Resurrection of the poor Lost and Found Original People of the earth, the Black man, would all be resurrected by that time, here in America.
You see more signs of that truth coming true now, than you ever has before. You see the people, the darker people here, give an ear to the truth that I am teaching you of Almighty God. You see them paying more attention to it than they have before, regardless to the strom of opposition that has been created against me and my followers, which I fear not because I am sure that I must suffer the same things that other Prophets...
I don't call myself a Prophet, but I'm a Messenger of God. You don't need a Prophet today. All you need is the Messenger. This is the end of the Prophets, because what they predicted is now making itself manifest. So it is the end of them...so I'm teaching you, and I do say I am a Messenger.
...That these things, now, is making themselves manifest that the so-called American Negro will bow to the Will of Almighty God, Allah. For they are Divine people of God and has been mislead, and has went astray from the Divine Supreme Being, from their master.
Their white slave-master's guidance and his teaching have caused this poor people to forget God, caused this people to not even know themselves, caused this people, today, to be fighting and opposing their own salvation when they should be running into it by the hundreds of thousands. But, as the enemies knows these things, that you are now standing at the door of your salvation. It has come to you in the teachings that I am giving to you today. This is it.
You must have the name of Almighty God. A name that will live, according to your own Bible's teaching. They only names that will live is the Name of God. You must have that. You must know, today, that you must be joined on to your own people. You must know today that you must have some of this earth that you can call your own.You must know today that you cannot make friends with this people and with God at the same time. You must know that there is no such friendship in them for you and me. You must know that they are the adversary of God. You must know that they are determined to carry you with them to their doom, despite the Almighty God's calling and His offer to you of Heaven at once.
I say to you, my beloved people that is listening, today, Fly for your life and stop trying to become one of them or forcing them to accept you as one of them. But Fly from them into the arms of Almighty God, as it is written, His arms are stretched out still to you.
And stop being tempted by Satan's advertisement of filth. And pull your dress down woman! And stop going around in the street with your dress above your knees, showing the nation your shame. It is nothing but filth that has been offered to you by Satan, and you are swallowing it by the wholesale.
Any husband that will walk along with his wife and seeing her dress above her knees is a poor husband. He don't value his own property, his wife. And he don't value the property that's in that wife. I say, you, husband, that allows such a thing as this should be punished yourself.
I thank you for listening. As-Salaam-Alaikum.
