Publisher's Synopsis
The writing of this book has been one of the most difficult challenges in my entire life. After much introspection and taking an inventory of my own beliefs in Allah who came in the Person of Master Fard Muhammad, and His Messenger, The Great Elijah Muhammad, I wondered why we were so divided as Muslims.My entire plight and journey in Islam, for the most part, has been very rewarding and beautiful. Yet, during my work in various positions of duty, I was challenged to seek out the reasons for such division and contentiousness, among those who claim to believe. What happened during my approach to such a subject, I began to realize that I had to go into the Supreme Wisdom, with the mindset that I WOULD HAVE TO LEARN ALL OVER AGAIN. At the time, I had already been in the Teachings for almost three decades and was approaching my fiftieth birthday. Most of my adult life has been in Islam and for that I am thankful. I had to look at Islam, from the perspective of trying to find out the solutions, for myself, along with the reasons why! I had been introduced to Islam, as a very young Muslim in one of the Temples in Richmond, Virginia. It goes without saying that I had no idea of the bad-blood that existed between the competing factions in the city where I lived. Only after leaving the Temple of my origination and attending and working in one of the other Temples in Richmond, did I begin to understand how much hatred, envy and jealousy existed among those who took it upon themselves to help young brothers and sisters like myself get introduced to The Messenger's teachings. This bad-blood, I would soon come to observe, was not just relegated to Richmond, but I discovered that other cities where Muslims with independent Temples, were just as hostile towards one another. The effects of hypocrisy, along with the direct assault on what was The Lost-Found Nation Of Islam must be properly approached in this day and time. Malcolm's venomous slander, treasonous work and hypocrisy actually set black people back a few hundred years. Yet Malcolm was a necessity for the manifestation of all truth. This material is less about Malcolm than it is about the seeds of the same types of character strain being revealed in black people today. Nowhere is this more amplified than in the various Independent sects and groups, masquerading as The Lost-Found Nation Of Islam right today. Let us not lose sight of the many organizations that are now popping up, attempting to slander and defame the works of Messenger Elijah Muhammad. They claim to side with Malcolm's defection, and in doing so, they have put together an offensive smear campaign against the Truth. These movements are led by various Pan Africanists, African Spiritualists, and various other so- called Conscious Community negroes, including the New Black Panther Party, which at one time was led by the late Dr. Khalid Muhammad who was one of Louis Farrakhan's greatest supporters and allies. These groups, who for the sake of their desiring to be attached to the real enemy, the white man, uses a form of black revolutionary rhetoric, to seduce many lost brothers and sisters, charging them enormous fees to hear them work their "magician-like" tactics. These fools use two hands to pat themselves on their own backs and another hand to get in to the pockets of other 85% poisoned animal eaters. Even, the black celebrity class has joined in the various movements in an attempt to put out the Light of Allah. REMEMBER, we cannot attached Allah and His Messenger to our errors and deviations. In other words, we must realize that Allah and His Messenger are 100% Right and Exact!I pray Allah, that each of you who are so kind to purchase a copy of this book, come away with a positive outlook on Islam, as taught by Messenger Elijah Muhammad. I hope and pray to Allah for his mercy and love to never abandon us as a people, for we are indeed the seed of Abraham. Brother Jasir Hassan Abdul Khabir
