Written and sent to all Ministers of Muhammad's Temples of Islam in the Wilderness of North America by Elijah Muhammad, Servant of Allah. April 2, 1936
Awake you Ministers
of Islam and put strength and rest not nor slumber. Our brother is dead in
the hands of strangers and is helpless, his mental power 7-1/2 ounces is
asleep in a total death. Awake, and trim the lamp that Allah has filled with
oil. The good oil from Heaven perfected our light that the dead may revive.
When have we become slumberers, doubters, weary within three days? Can a baby be born in three days and live? Nine months is its time and seven months is hasty and in most cases not complete; have you not been made wise to this physical workings of nature? Then you should be wise to the spiritual growth. Thus we have not justly understood.
Did we take the gospel plow to look back? Or become impatient before we get half way our row?
If we slumber, the spirit of allah, that He giveth us will die within us, and we become as th ose who know not Allah; has the time become prolonged that they are sleeping and tarrying, and burning out our holy oil before the wedding takes place?
Have we learned all that we desire to know of Islam? Have we learned the secret wisdom that is bound up in the 34 problems?
Have we understood thoroughly the 10 Questions? Or the No. 1 Lesson? Have we entered the No. 2 Lesson? Wise hidden wisdom relative to this day of ours, or have we clearly understood the forms and the knowledge of the actual facts?
No man will begin a building without the actual facts concerning
its measurement, nor without
Square and
compass, and plumb line. This he must have to make a form to begin this building.
Again, it takes a baby three months in the mother's womb before it is formed
and six months to mature, for the new world which it is expected to face.
Then its mother nurses it for about two whole years and it is considered
a little baby until it is three years old or thirth-six months. Did you not
know the forms OUR SAVIOUR gives us to fill out is called the department
of CIRCUIT? The baby goes around and around in the womb until its time must
be verified by the nine months.
There are nine labors on the form to verify the lost-found.
Then if that be son, then he is the one that was lost and not a devil, because of his devil name which has been forced on him while he was dead. And that ninth labor is Allah's Apostle, The Honorable Mr. Elijah Muhammad. Remember, there are nine Planets that rotate around the Sun: Again, the pilgrims that go to the Holy City Mecca, must make at least seven circuits or seven rounds, around the Kaabar or running seven times between the two small hills of Safa and Marwa.
A
seven month baby has a chance to live. Also the Pilgrims must camp in the
plain of Arafat for a while before entering the City, and must reach the
Holy City Mecca before the 7th of the Zulhaj. Joshua commanded the children
of Israel that they should not claim the city of Jerico, before making at
least 7 rounds around it. You must remember that the 9 is a justified number,
and seven is important, and plays a very prominent part in the Universe.
Again, even this Devil's civilization, follows Allah's JUSTICE in selecting
judges for the U.S. Supreme Court. The nubmer is nine robed judges, and this
number is on the Justice Building at Washington, D.C. If we would ask questions
we could learn more. How many of you dear Ministers ask me questions? Are
we all just sitting and waiting to see Judgement of the wicked? Are you waiting
and is prepared to raise the dead?
Then if there be 7 ministers among us that understand the teachings of Islam well enough to go out and take the field and warn the dead to rise and live. Their Saviour has come and fear no man but Allah, then send me you names at once and keep you appointments between the ministers alone.
As-Salaam-Alaikum.
Your Brother and Laborer,
Elijah Muhammad.
