GUARD AGAINST BEING DECEIVED!

By Elijah Muhammad, Messenger of Allah

Reprinted from the May 7, 1971 edition of MUHAMMAD SPEAKS NEWSPAPER

THE Lost and now Found Black People in America, whose parents were once servitude Black slaves, are today, the target to be deceived, by the (white American. ONE of the greatest jobs and the hardest work of the Apostle of God is to keep the Black Man from being deceived by the great arch deceivers (white Americans).

THE white race knows the Black Man. The white race has not just gotten around to knowing the Black Man. They have been knowing the Black People ever since the white race (devils) were driven out from among the Black Arabs of Arabia, six thousand (6,000) years ago.

THE white people deceived, kidnapped, and took our fathers against their wills from their native land, Africa, brought them over here, over four hundred years ago, and deprived our Black fathers and us, the Black People here in America, of the knowledge of ourselves and of the knowledge of themselves (white race).

THE white people made us, according to what they wanted to make us, without hindrance, (totally, mentally blind). They forced our parents under the lash of the whip and the gun to believe and to do as they desired us to believe and to do as they desired us to believe and to do. In fact, we have been made altogether something after the order of our enemies ---- not even thinking in the way of Black self.

THE white people made us forget about thinking for Black self. Instead, they made us think in the way that white people want us to think . Of course, this robbing us (Black People) of the knowledge of ourselves, by the white people, is unforgettable. Even though the Black Man may not care whether the white man is ever punished for robbing us, that will not hinder Allah (God) from Punishing the white man for his evil done to us, because of the prophets predictions that Allah (God) Must Avenge the injustice done to us by our enemies. The injustice done to us is too great to go unpunished.

THERE are many poor, blind, deaf, and dumb among our people who would forgive the white slave - makers and robbers of us, if they had the chance to do so. This is due to the Black People being made and forced into the love of their enemies when the Black People were babies. I receive many letters to this effect from our Black People who even try to defend the white man for his evil done, to us. This shows how dumb the white man has made them. For, no one should love a rattle - snake that has stung him and his whole family and who poisoned them unto death. (This is a comparable picture to what the white man has done to the Black Man).

TODAY, since this is the end of the white race's rule over Black People, the Lost - Found Black People in America, are the target of their white once - slave - masters, because they know that the Black People are blind, deaf and dumb to the knowledge of self, for the white once slave - master made the Black once - slave like that. The white salve - master made the Black slave to fight and to oppose Allah (God) in Allah's Work of Returning the Black once - slave to his own.

I WANT to warn you, my Black People do not be deceived by this arch - enemy of ours. Read Jesus' prophecy in (Bible) Matthew (23rd Chapter) and read the (Bible) Revelation (12th Chapter). Also, read the Holy Qur'an (7th Chapter) which will teach you of this great work of our enemy, against our salvation which our God Allah Offers to us.

Bible Matthew 23

1Then spake Jesus to the multitude, and to his disciples,

2Saying The scribes and the Pharisees sit in Moses' seat:

3All therefore whatsoever they bid you observe, that observe and do; but do not ye after their works: for they say, and do not.

4For they bind heavy burdens and grievous to be borne, and lay them on men's shoulders; but they themselves will not move them with one of their fingers.

5But all their works they do for to be seen of men: they make broad their phylacteries, and enlarge the borders of their garments,

6And love the uppermost rooms at feasts, and the chief seats in the synagogues,

7And greetings in the markets, and to be called of men, Rabbi, Rabbi.

8But be not ye called Rabbi: for one is your Master, even Christ; and all ye are brethren.

9And call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven.

10Neither be ye called masters: for one is your Master, even Christ.

11But he that is greatest among you shall be your servant.

12And whosoever shall exalt himself shall be abased; and he that shall humble himself shall be exalted.

13But woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye shut up the kingdom of heaven against men: for ye neither go in yourselves, neither suffer ye them that are entering to go in.

14Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye devour widows' houses, and for a pretence make long prayer: therefore ye shall receive the greater damnation.

15Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye compass sea and land to make one proselyte, and when he is made, ye make him twofold more the child of hell than yourselves.

16Woe unto you, ye blind guides, which say, Whosoever shall swear by the temple, it is nothing; but whosoever shall swear by the gold of the temple, he is a debtor!

17Ye fools and blind: for whether is greater, the gold, or the temple that sanctifieth the gold?

18And, Whosoever shall swear by the altar, it is nothing; but whosoever sweareth by the gift that is upon it, he is guilty.

19Ye fools and blind: for whether is greater, the gift, or the altar that sanctifieth the gift?

20Whoso therefore shall swear by the altar, sweareth by it, and by all things thereon.

21And whoso shall swear by the temple, sweareth by it, and by him that dwelleth therein.

22And he that shall swear by heaven, sweareth by the throne of God, and by him that sitteth thereon.

23Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have omitted the weightier matters of the law, judgment, mercy, and faith: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone.

24Ye blind guides, which strain at a gnat, and swallow a camel.

25Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye make clean the outside of the cup and of the platter, but within they are full of extortion and excess.

26Thou blind Pharisee, cleanse first that which is within the cup and platter, that the outside of them may be clean also.

27Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are like unto whited sepulchres, which indeed appear beautiful outward, but are within full of dead men's bones, and of all uncleanness.

28Even so ye also outwardly appear righteous unto men, but within ye are full of hypocrisy and iniquity.

29Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because ye build the tombs of the prophets, and garnish the sepulchres of the righteous,

30And say, If we had been in the days of our fathers, we would not have been partakers with them in the blood of the prophets.

31Wherefore ye be witnesses unto yourselves, that ye are the children of them which killed the prophets.

32Fill ye up then the measure of your fathers.

33Ye serpents, ye generation of vipers, how can ye escape the damnation of hell?

34Wherefore, behold, I send unto you prophets, and wise men, and scribes: and some of them ye shall kill and crucify; and some of them shall ye scourge in your synagogues, and persecute them from city to city:

35That upon you may come all the righteous blood shed upon the earth, from the blood of righteous Abel unto the blood of Zacharias son of Barachias, whom ye slew between the temple and the altar.

36Verily I say unto you, All these things shall come upon this generation.

37O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not!

38Behold, your house is left unto you desolate.

39For I say unto you, Ye shall not see me henceforth, till ye shall say, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord

Bible Revelation 12

1And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars:

2And she being with child cried, travailing in birth, and pained to be delivered.

3And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads.

4And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the woman which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as soon as it was born.

5And she brought forth a man child, who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up unto God, and to his throne.

6And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared of God, that they should feed her there a thousand two hundred and threescore days.

7And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels,

8And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven.

9And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.

10And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night.

11And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.

12Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time.

13And when the dragon saw that he was cast unto the earth, he persecuted the woman which brought forth the man child.

14And to the woman were given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness, into her place, where she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent.

15And the serpent cast out of his mouth water as a flood after the woman, that he might cause her to be carried away of the flood.

16And the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed up the flood which the dragon cast out of his mouth.

17And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.

The Holy Quran  CHAPTER 7

7:1 I, Allah, am the best Knower, the Truthful.

7:2 A Book revealed to thee -- so let there be no straitness in thy breast concerning it -- that thou mayest warn thereby, and a Reminder to the believers.

7:3 Follow what has been revealed to you from your Lord and follow not besides Him any guardians; little do you mind!

7:4 And how many a town have We destroyed! So Our punishment came to it by night or while they slept at midday.

7:5 Yet their cry, when Our punishment came to them, was nothing but that they said: Surely we were wrongdoers.

7:6 Then certainly We shall question those to whom messengers were sent, and We shall question the messengers,

7:7 Then surely We shall relate to them with knowledge, and We are never absent.

7:8 And the judging on that day will be just; so as for those whose good deeds are heavy, they are the successful.

7:9 And as for those whose good deeds are light, those are they who ruined their souls because they disbelieved in Our messages.

7:10 And certainly We established you in the earth and made therein means of livelihood for you; little it is that you give thanks!

7:11 And We indeed created you, then We fashioned you, then We said to the angels: Make submission to Adam. So they submitted, except Iblis; he was not of those who submitted.

7:12 He said: What hindered thee that thou didst not submit when I commanded thee? He said: I am better than he; thou hast created me of fire while him Thou didst create of dust.

7:13 He said: Then get forth from this (state), for it is not for thee to behave proudly therein. Go forth, therefore, surely thou art of the abject ones.

7:14 He said: Respite me till the day when they are raised.

7:15 He said: Thou art surely of the respited ones.

7:16 He said: As Thou hast adjudged me to be erring, I will certainly lie in wait for them in Thy straight path,

7:17 Then I shall certainly come upon them from before them and from behind them, and from their right and from their left; and Thou wilt not find most of them thankful.

7:18 He said: Get out of it, despised, driven away. Whoever of them will follow thee, I will certainly fill hell with you all.

7:19 And (We said): O Adam, dwell thou and thy wife in the garden, so eat from whence you desire, but go not near this tree, lest you become of the unjust.

7:20 But the devil made an evil suggestion to them that he might make manifest to them that which had been hidden from them of their shame, and he said: Your Lord has forbidden you this tree, lest you become angels or become of the immortals.

7:21 And he swore to them both: Surely I am a sincere adviser to you --

7:22 Thus he caused them to fall by deceit. So when they had tasted of the tree, their shame became manifest to them, and they both began to cover themselves with the leaves of the garden. And their Lord called to them: Did I not forbid you that tree, and say to you that the devil is surely your open enemy?

7:23 They said: Our Lord, we have wronged ourselves; and if Thou forgive us not, and have (not) mercy on us, we shall certainly be of the losers.

7:24 He said: Go forth -- some of you, the enemies of others. And there is for you in the earth an abode and a provision for a time.

7:25 He said: Therein shall you live, and therein shall you die, and there-from shall you be raised.

7:26 O children of Adam, We have indeed sent down to you clothing to cover your shame, and (clothing) for beauty; and clothing that guards against evil -- that is the best. This is of the messages of Allah that they may be mindful.

7:27 O children of Adam, let not the devil seduce you, as he expelled your parents from the garden, pulling off from their clothing that he might show them their shame. He surely sees you, he as well as his host, from whence you see them not. Surely We have made the devils to be the friends of those who believe not.

7:28 And when they commit an indecency they say: We found our fathers doing this, and Allah has enjoined it on us. Say: Surely Allah enjoins not indecency. Do you say of Allah what you know not?

7:29 Say: My Lord enjoins justice. And set upright your faces at every time of prayer and call on Him, being sincere to Him in obedience. As He brought you into being, so shall you return.

7:30 A party has He guided, and another party -- perdition is justly their due. Surely they took the devils for friends instead of Allah, and they think that they are rightly guided.

7:31 O children of Adam, attend to your adornment at every time of prayer, and eat and drink and be not prodigal; surely He loves not the prodigals.

JUST by our submitting to, believing, and obeying Allah (God) He Offers to us, MONEY, GOOD HOMES and FRIENDSHIP in all WALK of LIFE. This is justice that we do so, as we have submitted to , believed, and obeyed our enemies, the devils, (although the devil has given us nothing).

THE enemy knows that Allah (God) Has and Is Promising you heaven, today. It is prophesied throughout the Bible and the Holy Qur'an. But, as I keep repeating, the enemy knows too that he made you blind, deaf, and dumb --- so much so --- that you will reject the God Who Will Fulfill His promises to you, and accept the false god (the devil) who will only promise you to deceive you.

BLACK BROTHERS and Black Sister, if you were only wise to the time that you are living in and the salvation for yourself, as the white race is wise to the time and to your salvation, I would not write this in our newspaper. But , since I am your Black brother and having my own spiritual eyes opened by God Almighty to the salvation of you and me, I feel and know that it is my duty to warn you of the arch- deceivers and of their plans to deceive you. I must do my duty first, as an obedient Servant and Messenger of Almighty God Allah and second, I must do my duty to you who are my flesh and blood, as a Black brother should do, for his Black brother --- whether you will accept me, or them.

YOU SEE the white people have carried out, up to this day, the filthy temptation that they are offering you. It is plainly written in black and white, in both the Bible and the Holy Qur'an that the white people will offer you the freedom of intermarriage, intermixing, and inter - relations with them, thereby corrupting you, and making you unfit to be accepted by God and His People.

YOU READ the scriptures, but you ignore the warning of the scriptures and you fall a victim today, pulling off your clothes, going half nude, because the white people ask you to do so, and because a few of the low - class of white people come out to get you started dressing, indecently. As soon as you take your clothes off, they start clothing themselves again. It is only to tempt you. Their display of themselves on T.V. in filthy actions is to get you to perform filthy acts. And, you are falling for all that they will let you do, paying no attention to the consequences of such actions.

THIS is the Judgment of America. I have tried to teach you this for years. The Judgment of America is in action, today. The Judgment of America is easing upon you like a flood and you do not pay any attention to it, until you are drowning in it. Some of you hate me for even warning you, but, I must warn you. If I do not warn you, I will be held responsible for not warning you by Allah (God) Himself, Who Came in the Person of Master Fard Muhammad, to Whom Praises are duke forever.

THE white people will offer you high offices. Pay no attention to that. They will not have an office long, themselves. They know these things, but they want to 'show' you that they can put you in heaven, too. But, theirs is a temporary heaven. If they would give you the White House to live in, that would not put you into heaven from Allah. Allah (God) Would Still Put you, and those who gave you the White House in hell.

BEWARE of the white people's temptation and their deceiving promises. They promise you only to deceive you. Black Brother and Black Sister, I thought that your being deceived this past four hundred (400) years, by white people, should be enough to take for granted everything white people say to mean your salvation.

DO NOT seek the love of, and do not seek to love, your enemies who seek only the worse, for you. Regardless to how loyal you have been, or how loyal you may be, to white people, they still seek death, for you.It is against the very nature of a civilized human being to love his enemies. God Himself, MASTER FARD MUHAMMAD, to Whom Praises are due forever, Does Not Love His enemies and He Has Set a Day of Doom for them.

UNITE onto your own kind. Allah (God) Will Not Fail you in His Promises and there is no man or nation who can stop Allah (God) from Doing Good for you if He iNtends Good for you. No man or nation can stop Him from Doing evil, to you, if He Intends To Do evil , to you.

Your Brother ELIJAH MUHAMMAD,

Messenger of Allah, to you All.
