see and learn the price of TRUTH for us (the so-called Negroes).

"He was able to save himself from such suffering, but how else was the scripture to be fulfilled? We followed in his footsteps suffering the same persecution."

FEAR

"Fear is the worst enemy that we (the so-called Negroes) have, but entire submission to Allah and His Messenger will remove this fear. The white race put fear in our foreparents when they were babies, so says the Word of Allah.

"The poor (so-called) Negroes are so filled with fear of their enemy that they stop to helping him against their own salvation.

"Be aware of what you are doing lest you be the worse loser. If they had only been taught the TRUTH, they would act differently."

JOHN HAWKINS

"Allah has taught us that our foreparents were deceived and brought into America by a slave-trader whose name was John Hawkins in the year 1555."

HEAVEN ON EARTH

"He (Allah) has made it clear what constitutes heaven on earth: Freedom, Justice, Equality; money, good homes and friendship in all walks of life.

THE FUTURE HOLY BOOK

"The Holy Quran, the Glorious Book, should be read and studied by us (the so-called Negroes). Both the present Bible and the Holy Quran must soon give way to that holy book which no man as yet but Allah has seen. The teachings (prophecies) of the present Bible and the Quran take us up to the resurrection and judgement of this world but not into the next life. That which is in that holy book is for the righteous and their future only; not for the mixed world of righteous and evil. 

"The preparation for that unseen life is now going on in the few believers of Islam in America. Islam is the true religion of Allah and it makes a distinction between the lovers of righteousness and lovers of evil. It is that which Allah is using today to separate the righteous from the evil-doers." 

NO 'INTEGRATION'

"The slavemasters' children are doing everything in their power to prevent the so-called Negroes from accepting their own God and salvation, by putting on a great show of false love and friendship.

"The is being done through 'integrtion' as it is called, that is, so-called Negroes and white mixing together, such as in schools, churches, and even inter-marriage which the so-called Negros, and this the poor slave really think that they are entering a condition of heaven with their former slave-holders, but it will prove to be their doom.

"Today, according to God's word, we are living in a time of great separation between the black and white.

"The prophesized 400 years of slavery—that we the so-called Negroes would have to serve (the white) people—ended in 1955. The so-called Negroes must now return to their own; nothing else will solve their problem.

The divine power is working and will continue to work in favor of the so-called Negroes' return to their own. The separation would be a blessing for both sides.

ISLAM

"Allah (Himself) chose for us ISLAM as a religion.

"ISLAM is our salvation. It removes fear, grief and sorrow from any believer and it brings to us peace of mind and contentment.

JESUS OF THE BIBLE

"The so-called Negroes must get away from the old slavery teaching that Jesus, who died two thousand years ago, is still alive somewhere waiting and listening to their prayers.

"He (Jesus) was only a prophet like Moses and the other prophets and had the same religions (Islam). He did his work and is dead like others of his time, and has no knowledge of their prayers to him.

"Since Islam over-ran mankind in the 7th Century after Jesus and is still a power of man, why didn't the translators of the Bible mention it? Why didn't they give us the names of the religions of the prophets since they claim a religion for Jesus?

"The history of this man Jesus has been greatly misunderstood by us, the so-called Negroes.

"JESUS" THE SHIP

"John Hawkins brought out forefathers here (from Africa) on a ship name 'Jesus'; when this ship when on its way back from another load of our people, our foreparents stared at the old slave ship as it departed and begged to be carried back, but to no avail, and they said that 'you can have this new Western world but give us the ship Jesus back to our people and country,' which now has become a song among our people, which goes something like this: 'You - can - have - all - the - world - but - give - me - Jesus.'

"But our foreparents did not know at that time it would be 400 years from that day before the real ship (God Himself) would come and get them and their children and cut loose every link of the slave chain that holds us in bondage to our slave-masters by giving us a true knowledge of self, God and the devil and wipe away the 400 years of tears, weep
