THE WOMAN IN ISLAM, under the Divine Guidance of THE HONORABLE ELIJAH MUHAMMAD, begins the work of becoming civilized. We were not civilized when we were under the teachings of the devil. Neither the white man nor his religion Christianity, taught us to be civilized Black men and women.
THOSE of us Black men and women of America, who went the highest in the education of the devil's schools, colleges and universities, cannot say that we were civilized under the white man nor even civil, for that matter.
THE dictionary gives us many explanations of the work 'civil', such as "having the characteristics of or befitting a citizen; polite or courteous, cultivated, refined, not barbarous." True the education of the devil taught our Black educated people to disguise themselves under the banner of having these qualities, but the wrap is off today and the teachings of Messenger Muhammad shows all things in their true colors and deficiencies.
WE must work, and in thought and action become, civilized and of the noblest character. We have to be taught, by Messenger Muhammad what 'noble' is, in order for us to become noble and acquire all of the highest attributes.
ONE of the simplest and the hardest steps, on the high road of Islam, is for the Black woman to get control of her tongue. Her mouth, as it is commonly put.
THE WOMAN IN ISLAM does not gossip, slander or speak loud vulgar language. This is the law of ISLAM, the law of kindness. She holds fast to her salvation, Islam, and works toward acquiring the highest dignity, by closing her mouth and opening her mind, eyes, ears and heart and by putting her idle hands to work in her homemaking and care of husband and family. She learns the right way of life and teaches her children, daily.
MESSENGER MUHAMMAD, teaches us that the WOMAN IN ISLAM, must learn to partake only in wise and holy conversations. Study constantly and speak and practice the teachings of Islam, as a reminder of the Divine Guidance of Messenger Muhammad, from Allah (God) Who Came in the Person of Master Fard Muhammad, to Whom Praises are due forever.
THE HOLY Quran, verifies this, see Ch. 6:68 ... "And when thou seest those who talk nonsense about Our messages, withdraw from them until they enter into some other discourse. And if the devil cause thee to forget, then sit not after recollection with the unjust people."
THE BIBLE, also verifies, see Ps. 1:1-3 ... "Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of the sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful. But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night. And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper."
THE WOMAN IN ISLAM gives Eternal Holy Praises to Allah for Messenger Muhammad.
