And Farad Muhammad was always around. Just under a different alias.
word but many of the followers were not ready for change in 75..then again, warith was pressured big time..dar-ul-salaam and other orthodoc intervention plus counter groups like mr yorks group growing..ansar allah shyt..You have to understand, a lot of the NOI's teachings were allegory. Back in the 30's/40's and still today, we as blacks were so use to allegorical scriptures coming out of the bible, Farad had to give us something that was similar to it. But in actuality, it was reverse psychology. The bible and the depiction of the white Jesus was used to make us believe we were inferior. His lessons reversed the role to blacks being superior and whites being inferior. It was a antidote to clear our minds from white supremacy and do/depend for ourselves. Because when you do for yourself, you automatically take the power away from the next man (in this case whites) and start believing in yourself. It was genius. But I'll say this, from building with the elders from that time and studying, the starting point isn't always the finishing point. Meaning the way the NOI was structured wasn't always suppose to stay that way. And Farad and Elijah gave hints that it wasn't...
what warith taught your parents and others..my G.And Farad Muhammad was always around. Just under a different alias.
Yeah and it was designed for it to happen. Warith was chosen even before he was born. When Farad and Elijah were in the classroom back in Detroit, Farad wrote the initials WDM on the wooden door. And he told Elijah that these initials will be the name of your next child and it is this child that will help you in your work. In Message to The Blackman, I believe, Elijah said that he wasn't here to teach us the religion. But there would be someone after me that will teach you it. My uncle, who was Supreme Captain out of Temple 25 back then, told me that Minister James Shabazz told him that one day there would be a time where there wouldn't be no chairs for the believers to sit in at the Temple but there would be a carpet instead. But as you said, a lot of people weren't ready for the transition. My uncle and pops told me when Imam Mohammad first took office, whole administrations left.word but many of the followers were not ready for change in 75..then again, warith was pressured big time..dar-ul-salaam and other orthodoc intervention plus counter groups like mr yorks group growing..ansar allah shyt..
interesting thanks for sharing which i like and welcome in discussions..Yeah and it was designed for it to happen. Warith was chosen even before he was born.

and that's why i shyt on black history month and other moments of black achievements in america!Been saying this for years. Elijah is the greatest black leader Ive ever seen. From the consciousness to the economic blueprint. His contributions are unparalleled.
Its silly.and that's why i shyt on black history month and other moments of black achievements in america!
Malcolm was a leader, he used to lead the FOI and many other thinkers..he was a great man but left the world too soon.Its silly.
And another thing..
I think it was Cornel West that made a very valid point. Malcolm was not a leader. Malcolm was a spokesperson.Leaders have the ability to put people in motion. Elijah was the leader , the supreme leader. Nothing happened without his approval.
oh hello Aliassly-Mod-LAIKUM..Bro-therElijah Muhammad smiles down upon this thread from the MOTHER PLANE, where he is chilling, waiting to use the MOTHER PLANE'S photon torpedoes to destroy the so-called white man. Anyone who denies that Elijah Muhammad is flying around on this Islamic spaceship is either a CAC, a c00n, or an agent of the Jew. Hotep Islam Shabazz 7.
Salmon Lake 'Em.oh hello Aliassly-Mod-LAIKUM..Bro-ther
Well the biggest misconception is when Imam Mohammad took over, he was trying to bring us to the Arab world which wasn't true at all. He was guiding us to have a better understanding of the Quran but NOT to adapt to the Arab culture or its customs. In the early years of his leadership, he kinda had to change the customs of the NOI overnight. Because a lot of us were still stuck in that mind frame. And in order to move on to the next phase, you couldn't be stagnate in one spot, which a lot of followers were. So the changes had to be abrupt and drastic. But once things got stabled enough, he started teaching about his father more often in a positive light. You gotta think, Warith was excommunicated because he didn't prescribe to his father's teachings. But the biggest reason was because Elijah wanted him to see the world outside of the Nation. When he came back in 72, Warith was teaching stuff that wasn't NOI teaching. The tape got back to headquarters in Chicago for Elijah to listen to. My uncle, pops, and other ministers were there. Elijah heard the tape and said, "My son got it! He can take this to the next level!". In 74, when Warith came back the last time, Elijah made him his assistant minister out of Chicago. Why would Elijah make his son assistant minister out of the headquarter mosque, knowing his son doesn't agree with his teachings? Elijah knew what he was doing.what warith taught your parents and others..my G.
