The title of this article is taken from the HOLY QUR'AN, Chapter 14, 22, Sec. 4
'And the devil will say, when the matter is decided: Surely Allah promised you a promise of truth and I promised you, then failed you. And I had no authority over you, except that I called you and you obeyed me; so blame me not but blame yourselves. I cannot come to your help, nor can you come to my help. I deny your associating me with Allah before...'
IT IS VERY CLEAR, and understandable, why the devil never did represent the HOLY QUR'AN to the Black Man in America! He never did represent the HOLY QUR'AN to us because the HOLY QUR'AN is a book, or scripture that is 100% true, so Allah, in the Person of MASTER FARD MUHAMMAD, to Whom Praises are due forever, Taught me.
THE above verse shows us that the devil has always deceived the people, and told the people other than the truth. The devil still tells the people other than the truth.
THE devil admits in this verse (22) that 'Allah (God) promised you a promise of truth.' THINK OVER THAT! The devil confesses that Allah's (God's) promise is true! BUT, THE devil says in the same verse that he (devil) 'promised you, then failed you.' And that he (devil) had no authority over you to force you to believe and to follow him! (devil)!...that 'I (devil) called you.'
AND then the devil denies the responsibility for causing you to err by taking him (devil) for a guide, instead of accepting Allah (God) for your guide.
SO, the devil goes so far as to say that 'you obeyed him (devil). He denied that he was the one that should be obeyed. It was Allah (God) whom you should obey, for the truth.
THEN, the devil says to you, not to blame him (devil)' but, 'blame yourself.' The devil confesses 'I (devil) cannot come to your help; nor can you come to my (devil's) help.' The devil cannot help you because the devil was not made to help people into the knowledge of truth...right-doing.
THE NATURE TO HELP people into the knowledge of right-doing was not put into the devil, by his maker (Yakub). Neither one, the devil or his follower...neither can help the other, for they are both under the chastisement of Allah (God).
THEN, the devil tells his followers that he denies 'their associating him with Allah before.' This before means 'before the truth came -- the truth which shows the devil up. The truth also shows up those who were seeking the truth. It shows those who were seeking the truth. It shows those who are will to follow the devil after the truth is come, as being willing to follow the untruthful one, as the devil is an untruthful one.
THERE is no truth in the devil, for the devil was not made with truth. The devil was made under falsehood...other than truth. This is the way white people were made! They were not made in truth. White people were made in the essence of falsehood. so that they could fool the truthful people (Black people).
SO, the devil warns us not to blame him for the hell that he caused us to taste, because of following him.
IT is your fault for even before the confirmation of the truth, the devil did not believe in your representing him as the equal with the God of Truth, nor representing him as being above even the God of Truth!
BUT, the devil lets you go on doing this, until you and the devil come face to face with the truth of God, which Came from Presence and the Teachings of MASTER FARD MUHAMMAD, God in Person, to Whom Praises are due forever.
IT IS IMPOSSIBLE for the devil to help you in the Day of Judgment, because in the Day of Judgment, the devil is the object to be judged and destroyed!
ONCE we know that we are being bitten by a snake, in the grass (and we did not see the snake in the grass); then when we find the snake in the grass, our only thought is to kill the snake, so that the snake does not bite or sting another person.
BUT, the devil is brought face to face with the truth; and so is the Black Man of the World, and those Black People who have relied on the white race to aid them against the Judgment, Punishment and Destruction, by Allah.
THE devil admits that you are a fool for seeking his help, as the devi has no power over Allah (God). In another place in the HOLY QUR'AN, the devil's followers admit that they were following the devil and 'could not the devil avert one of the days of chastisement that Allah (God) will put upon the disbelievers as well as the devil's followers?'
BUT, the devil denies their seeking him to help and to aid them against Allah. The devil has no power against Allah!
TRUTH IS SURELY CONFIRMED. It is made clear that the white race is a race of devils, and Black People have believed in the devil, and they have taken the devil for a god!
THIS is why I have not converted the whole Black Nation in America! The Black People believe that the white race has the power to divert the chastisement of God, which has been promised by the prophecy of the prophets, and of the scriptures. From Genesis to Revelation, we are told that the devil is Under Sentence to be Destroyed!
THE HOLY QUR'AN takes it up, and verifies that which is said of the devil, in the Bible. It goes so far as --both books--call the devil the 'fuel of hell.'
AND YET, Black Brother and Black Sister the devil has made you to love him! And you want to be partakers of hell with him, -- except when you see the fire of hell!
WHEN YOU SEE THE FIRE, you will deny the devil; as the devil will deny you. My Black Brothers and Black Sisters, you actually love this people!
MY BLACK BROTHERS AND BLACK SISTERS, you will hate me for the love of the devil. You would kill me, if you could get to me through the ring of protection that Allah (God) Has Thrown around me.
THE devil has good knowledge of this ring of protection. And the devil has shown me, great respect. I cannot say that the devil disrespects me. The devil respects me; it is you Black Brother who disrespects me. Your disrespect of me makes you to disrespect yourself.
TRUTH IS CONFIRMED. We are in a time, now, that one cannot help the other, because we are in the time that was prophesied of, by the prophets of old!
THE prophets prophesied that the Day of Judgment would come -- the Judgment between the Righteous and the wicked. So, this is the time of Judgment between the Righteous and the wicked.
ALL the devil has to do is just call you, and you go running!
BLACK BROTHERS and Black sisters, you blame the devil for the war that the devil is fighting, between himself and the Hindu. We sometimes call the Hindu, Buddhists. You run with the devil to the war, to help the devil to fight another people who are not your Brothers and sisters --- in the way of right.
THE HINDU -- Allah (God) Told me that the Hindu -- has been the enemy of Allah (God) for 35,000 years! This is why the Hindu and the Christian are fighting with each other. The war between the Hindu and the Christian is The Order of God! Allah (God) Wants to rid the earth of both the Hindu and the Christian; to CONFIRM THE TRUTH of the HOLY QUR'AN, in the 61st Chapter, Verse 9, where it is written, that 'Allah (God) Has Sent the Messenger, with the true religion, that he may make it overcome the religions, all of them though the polytheists may be averse.'
AGAIN, THE HOLY QUR'AN teaches us, in another Chapter, that 'he who comes up on the day of Resurrection, with any other, other than Islam, Allah will not accept it!"
TRUTH IS CONFIRMED! Today you believe that you are a prided Black Man. But, you used to hate to be called Black. Now you love to be called Black.
THIS, shows again, how far you once were off, from the truth. We did not know our ownself. We hated Black and loved white, for we did not KNOW either one, Black or white!
But, the white man had called us to come obey and follow him.
Now, it has taken us 400 years to learn that we were following the devil; and not following the God of Truth and Righteousness, although we claimed to be from the God of Truth and Righteousness!
WE, the Black People are righteous, by nature. The devil is wicked by nature. There is much that I am teaching you from our Lord, that is so good for you, that you are now beginning to recognize it.
BUT, to seek a way to satisfy our evil open enemy, the devil -- this puts you in the position to be made ashamed, disgraced and to be punished.
I EVEN ask you all day long and all night long to COME, FOLLOW ME! PUT YOURSELF IN HEAVEN AT ONCE! You are begging the devils to give you a place among them. You want to be honored by the enemy of God and man (Black Man).
THE Judgment is now come to the enemy of Righteous. TRUTH IS CONFIRMED! The arch-deceiver is made manifest to be none other than the white race. Truth also makes manifest the Black lovers of the devil!
JOIN ONTO YOUR OWN BLACK KIND, OR SUFFER DESTRUCTION WITH HELL FIRE...TRUTH IS CONFIRMED!
Elijah Muhammad,
MESSENGER OF ALLAH,
to you all.
