Dearest beloved Labors and Moslems at #2
Illinois in general I have in spite of your constantly disobeying the law of Islam which is your Own, as well as mine, Continue to send you more of the same. And you have received from one...the same such warnings against disobedience to that Pure and easy way of your Own Salvation which the Almighty God Allah give to us for our Success.
The more teaching and warnings I send to you the more you disobey, and ask for more to ignore. I have more-over taught you how to seek your means of subsistence for yourselves and families, as well as to the cause of Isalm; By putting before you "first of All" Our Savior, Allah, to whom Be Praises, Honour and Thanks. And you who sincerely tried have found Allah's Hand helping, and blessing you daily as long as you continue to obey me and trust in Him. But when you disobey; the blessing is quickly removed from you.
I have tried hard to Teach a Group of Labors to help me in this Noble Work, which Allah has assigned to me, to give life to the Dead that your name may live and be praised by your Nation as The Stars for ever, and ever.
But this glory you are still Dumb of, and refuse to believe it. Moreover, when I try by my Allah's Help to teach and train a Labor to any position in Islam, whether Minister, Captains, or Secretary or Treasurer or Principles. Soon as they receive this High Position and began to be a little successful for a week or two, By Allah's Help, Their chests begin to Swell with Self Importance, Thinking in Their minds that they need no more of my assistance, and for Goodness sake not my presents among them. This has been the very Thoughts of near every Labor of important at #1 Michigan, at #2. That is why your success only last for a few days. My Allah will never let none of you be successful that desires that I stay from among you so that you can do that which you thinks Best in your own way.
It is the hypocrites both at #1 and #2 that is watching for every chance to stop your Progress and thus destroy the Temple of #2 Illinois. It is their secret advices among the Labor and Moslems in general at #2 that is gradually bringing you into discord with each other. I have warned you who believe in Islam to not take the enemies of Allah and His Apostle for Friends. Allah's Wrath be upon you who willful ingores it. You know that they have Driven me out from among you. Then would you offer them Love and friendship? And thus invoke the Wrath of Almighty Allah against your Life? Be it known among you; --Elijah Mohammed is the Apostle of Almighty Allah to you all. And who so-ever of you Love and obey, and follow me The same will Allah Love and will show His Blessing upon day and night.
I have a large family of Girls and Boys in the right Age to be for ever ruined in such a Wicked Hell, among people that Love others better their ownselves; And these same children of mine is getting worse and worse day by day. Disobedient to their Mother cause they do know That I am away and going to stay away until He sends me back. They disobey the Laborers of ISlam for more than one...
They have began to love the ways of the devils more than the Way of Allah, and his teaching, and his Apostle sterness to His Laborers. They know the strick law that was enforced in the Temple and among the Labors while I was going in an out among them, both at #1 Michigan and #2 Illinois until I trusted a no good wicked and jealous brother of mine by the name of Kallatt Mohammed, Who became proud and Boastry, and desirous to be ruler over me as well as any the ones that he was given to. This he finding himself unable to do, and fearing the people would soon learn that he had no Power against me what-so-ever; He thus secretly joined himself with my enemies to instruct them how to try to overcome me, --And thus brought Down upon himself the Wrath of Almighty God Allah, And it shall remain upon Him and all that follow him -- to the day when they (the whole Nation) is raised up to the knowledge of their Saviour Allah! And his Apostle whom he has chosen.
The Law at #2, Illinois in not carried out strickly like I give it. The Temple of Islam is a Holy Place where the name of Allah is Worshipped, Those who see to defile it by their own Dirty uncleaness will be the fuel of the fire of Hell. And such as Drunkards, Adulteries, Liars, Gamblers, Murders, Mockers, Hypocrites, Peace breakers etc. Shall Allah Roast in the Fire of His Anger in the near future. And just think how near it is on you that is guilty even at your very door.
Should not my absent among you be enough to warn you? How much you should be in eagerness in walking upright And how close in unity should you be together working for my return Among you that I may impart to you that which I am sent. Do you think I am so Dumb to send Valuable Wisdom through Mail? And do you think your success is secure as long you do not Help to make it safe for me among you? Or do you think as the hypocrites does, That the Temple and the Teaching of Islam will come to ought? No, by my Allah! He will send me and I will set it aright by his permission. So work in love and Peace that you may be show Favour on the Day.
This letter is not directed at no certain One among you, But is meant for the whole. I thank each and every one of you -- For the many blessings that you send to me and Family for if any one needs blessings it is the one that is in the Bush. Though I have Followers (suppose to be) Who can spend Hundreds of Dollars on cars for their own temporary pleasure, and hardly will give me over 50 cent at the time and not over a $1.00 for the cause of Islam their own. I do not think such will succeed very long. May the Peace and Blessings of Allah be with you the Moslems. As I say unto you.
As-Salaam-Alaikum
Your Brother,
E. Mohammed
