It is knowledge of self that the so-called Negroes lack which
keeps them from enjoying freedom, justice and equality.
This belongs to them divinely as much as it does to other nations of the
earth.
It is Allah's (God's) will and purpose that we shall know ourselves.
Therefore He came Himself to teach us the knowledge of self. Who is better
knowing of who we are than God, Himself? He has declared that we are descendants
of the Asian Black Nation and the tribe of Shabazz.
You might ask, who is this tribe of Shabazz? Originally, they were
the tribe that came with the earth (or this part) 66 trillion years ago when
a great explosion on our planet divided it into two parts. One we call earth
and the other moon.
This was done by one of our scientists, God, who wanted the people
to speak one language, one dialect for all, but was unable to bring this
about. He decided to kill us by the destroying our planet, but still He failed.
We were lucky to be on this part, earth, which did not lose its water in
the mighty blasting away of the part called moon.
We, the tribe of Shabazz, says Allah (God), were the first to discover
the best part of our planet to live on. The rich Nile Valley of Egypt and
the present seat of the Holy City, Mecca, Arabia.
The origin of our kinky hair, says Allah, came from one of our dissatisfied
scientists, 50,000 years ago, who wanted to make all of us tough and hard
in order to endure the life of the jungles of East Asia (Africa) and to overcome
the beasts there. But he failed to get the others to agree with him.
He took his family and moved into the jungle to prove to us that we
could live there and conquer the wild beasts, and we have. So, being the
first and the smartest scientist on the deportation of our moon and the one
who suffered most of all, Allah (God) has decided to place us on the top
with a thorough knowledge of self and his guidance.
We are the mighty, the wise, the best, but do not know it. Being without
the knowledge, we disgrace ourselves, subjecting ourselves to suffering and
shame. We could not get the knowledge of self until the coming of Allah.
To know thyself is to know all men, as from us came all and to us all will
return.
I must keep warning you that you should be give up the white race's
names and religion in order to gain success. Their days of success are over.
Their rule will last only as long as you remain asleep to the knowledge of
self.
Awake and know that Allah has revealed the truth. Stop believing in
something coming to you after you are physically dead. That is untrue, and
no one can show any proof of such belief.
Again, know that Jesus was only a prophet and cannot hear you pray
any more than Moses or any other dead prophet. Know too, that this white
race was created to be the enemy of black mankind for 6,000 years, which
makes their number to be six. That is not your number or mine. We do not
have a number, because we have no birth record. Do not let anyone fool you.
This is the separation and the War of Armageddon.
