Welcome to: TIME**IN**MOTION Site managed by: James 3X Alexander YOU ARE VISITOR #     Updated: 5/29/2001 MARCH LET'S LOOK AT: THE ORIGIN OF THE NATION OF ISLAM IN THE WEST...
A Brief History on the origin of The Nation of Islam in America A Nation of Peace and Beauty Written in Phoenix, Arizona, March 28, 1996 for presentation at the International symposium on Sufism in San Francisco, California, March 29-31, 1996 On July the Fourth, the day of America's Independence celebration, He announced the beginning of His mission which was to restore and to resurrect His lost and found people, who were identified as the original members of the Tribe of Shabazz from the Lost Nation of Asia. The lost people of the original nation of African descent, were captured, exploited, and dehumanized to serve as servitude slaves of America for over three centuries. His mission was to teach the downtrodden and defenseless Black people a thorough Knowledge of God and of themselves, and to put them on the road to Self-Independence with a superior culture and higher civilization than they had previously experienced. He taught us the ways of love and peace, of truth and beauty. We are being led into the path of a new spiritual culture and civilization of complete harmony and peace, one of refinement in the pursuit of happiness and eternal joy in theSupreme Knowledge of God and the Science of everything in life.IN 1931, THE MASTER WAS preaching this Great Truth of salvationwhen He met a man named Elijah Poole in Detroit, Michigan. He chosehim to be His Divine Representative in continuing this most difficult task ofbringing truth and light to His lost and found people. For 3 1/2 years Hetaught and trained the Honorable Elijah Muhammad night and day into theprofound Secret Wisdom of the Reality of God, which included the hiddenknowledge of the original people who were the first founders of civilizationof our Planet and who had a full knowledge of the Universal Order of Things from the beginningof the Divine Creation. Upon the Master's departure in 1934, the Honorable Elijah Muhammadlabored tirelessly to bring life to his mentally and spiritually dead people until his return to theMaster in 1975. The Honorable Elijah Muhammad identified the Master as being the answer tothe one that the world had been expecting for the past 2,000 years under the names Messiah, thesecond coming of Jesus, the Christ, Jehovah, God, and the Son of Man. When the HonorableElijah Muhammad asked Him to identify Himself He replied that He was the Mahdi. He signedHis name in 1933 as Master Wallace Fard Muhammad to express the meaning of One Who hadcome in the Early Morning Dawn of the New Millennium to lay the base for a New World Orderof Peace and Righteousness on the foundation of Truth and Justice; to put down tyrants and tochange the world into a Heaven on Earth.During the Honorable Elijah Muhammad's initial 44 years, he sufferedpersecution and rejection from the very people among whom he wasappointed as a Servant of God. He was rejected and despised by the 10percent leaders of America and the world because he revealed a GreaterTruth and Wisdom that would end the old world of Satan's rule anddominion. He was not self-taught or self-made but ONE MIGHTY INPOWER had taught him what he knew not. The Honorable ElijahMuhammad had never received any more than a fourth grade education, yethis heart was true in what he saw and he saw the greatest of the Signs of his Lord. The moreconverts that he made in the cities, in the by-ways, and in the highways of this land, along withreceiving honor and fame abroad, the powerful leaders and rulers of this world grew inopposition. As the baby Nation of Islam came to birth in America, the world rulers were shakenin their foundation to learn of this miraculous achievement, and are today frustrated in plans toprevent our survival. The theme of the Holy Qur'an and Bible that most clearly defines thisstruggle is revealed in the history of Pharaoh's opposition to Moses and Aaron in the delivery ofIsrael in bondage in Egypt.THE NATION OF ISLAM WAS founded on the basis of peace and as an answer to aprayer of Abraham to deliver his people who would be found in servitude slavery in the WesternHemisphere in this day and time. The Flag of Islam with the symbols of the Sun, Moon, and theStars, represent the Universe and is also a Banner of Universal peace and Harmony. Our HolyTemples of Islam were established in America as sanctuaries of peace and higher learning intothe Knowledge of the Oneness of God. Our schools are called Universities of Islam and teachthe higher meaning of Islam which is Mathematics. We have always been taught to respect thelaws of the land. We are taught never to carry arms, to make war or to be the aggressor, for this
is against the nature of the righteous. We are taught the Principles of Divine Unity and the
Universal Brotherhood of Islam. We are taught cleanliness inwardly and outwardly with the
practice of good manners and respect to one and all. We are
taught that the family is the back bone of society and that our
children must be reared to reflect the highest morals and training
to perfect our society. We are trained to eat and to prepare the
best of foods for the longevity of life, without the use of alcohol,
smoking and substance abuse which endangers the ethics of
healthy living. We are taught to respect and protect our women
who are the mothers of civilization. Our women are taught a
dress code of modesty that will lead to
the practice of high morality. We are trained to be an exemplary
community expressing the highest spiritual goals for the reform of
ourselves and others based on wisdom, knowledge and beauty.
Contrary to the inflammatory rhetoric that has been utilized by the news
media and some community leaders to condemn the positive effects of
Islam's influence in today's modern society, just the opposite is being
proven true. The Nation of Islam (The Nation of Peace) represents hope
to millions of our people in America and around the globe who have been
deprived of the high standards of a righteous way of life. This unity and
love so sorely absent from our communities was genuinely exemplified by
the millions of participants on the day of the Million Man March held in Washington, D.C.,
October 16, 1995. The exemplary Spiritual Leadership of Minister Louis Farrakhan in the
rebuilding of the Nation of Islam in America is showing the way in the breaking
down of barriers of communication throughout the society regardless to one's
religious, racial, or ideological beliefs and views.
Through God's Divine Guidance, we are extending this Divine Work of
moral and spiritual reform throughout the Western Hemisphere. God's Light and
Truth will prevail against the darkness and falsehood of all opposition. In spite of the controversy
and clamor surrounding the Nation of Islam and it's Divine Leader, Minister Louis Farrakhan, we
are forging ahead in the Spirit of Almighty God, Allah, to unite with all of humanity in the
Oneness of God, where all people of goodwill of every Race and of every Nation may
participate in the Universal Expression of the Principles of Peace and the Brotherhood of man.
This is the Beautiful Community of the Nation of Islam that is coming to birth in America on this
Farthest Western Horizon in fulfillment of the Prophecy that God would meet with Muhammad
for a second time and reveal to His servant What He Revealed. Thus the world is witnessing the
Sun of Islam arising in the West. Praise the Holy Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful.
Where do we go from here in the remaining four years of the twentieth century? Will we continue
to argue, to condemn, to fight and kill one another; or will we sit down and counsel with one
another in seeking a just solution to the problems that beset us in America and in the world?
Wisdom decrees that in counsel and in dialogue is the way to peace. Foolishness decrees that if
we ignore the warning signs, we will fall into the deeper abyss of Hell. God is the Judge today;
and most surely upon Him do the Believers rely!

THE HONORABLE ELIJAH MUHAMMAD
As we near the exhaustion of the Wisdom of this world which has not been able to
shed enough light on our path in search for that Supreme Wisdom to keep us
from stumbling and falling, we now seek the wisdom of Allah, the Best Knower
and Guide in the Person of Master Fard Muhammad (to Whom be praised
forever). The reader will find that light in this book.
-Honorable Elijah Muhammad, Messenger of Allah
