Q: Have you designated a successor for yourself?

Q: Do you have visions?
A: I do not say really have visions, but I do have voices, at times... I know God. I was with Him about three years and about four or five months. I know His Voice. And when He Speaks, I know it." (Pg. 27)
Q: Are you talking about Mr. Fard?
A: It was Him that I have learned all that I am now teaching. I do not know anything of myself. It is what He Has Given me." (Pg. 28-29)
Q: The press states that you label all while people blue-eyed devils. Is this true?
A: Whether they are actually blue-eyed or not, if they are actually one of the members of that race, they are devils." (Pg. 30)
A: It is only through Islam that white people can be saved." (Pg. 32)
