The Teachings of Mr. Elijah Muhammad

In an editorial note printed in this issue of MOSLEM WORLD & THE U.S.A. we have stated that we believe "both Mr. (Elijah) Muhammad and his Moslem movement have become an inseparable part of the over-all picture of Islamic affairs in America..." In the same article we have given some of the "reasons why."

The purpose of this article, which is being printed by popular request, is to present, in a summarized form, the salient features of Mr. Muhammad's teachings—the philosophy of a man believed by his followers to be a Messenger of Allah and affectionately called by them "a little lamb without spots or blemishes." The teachings, of course, are meant for Americans of African descent only, or the so-called "Negroes," and should be read by all with that understanding.

In printing this article, we believe we are rending the Moslem world a real service, for the followers of Islam everywhere look up to MOSLEM WORLD & THE U.S.A. as their only source of authentic, up-to-date information on American-Islamic affairs and without our journal they would be unable to learn of the latest developments in Islamic activity here.

The readers, Moslem or non-Moslem, who wish to comment on these writings or on any of the other contents of this issue of MOSLEM WORLD & THE U.S.A. are welcome to write to us at our (P.O. Box 36) Brooklyn 21, N. Y., address. However, those desirous of joining a Temple of Islam (established by Mr. Elijah Muhammad) are urged to contact one nearest them or write to the Moslem leader direct. His address is: Mr. Elijah Muhammad, 5335 S. Greenwood Avenue, Chicago 15, Illinois.
