More About the Author

According to actual facts, historical references and countless mainstream news organs, Elijah Muhammad, by far, was the most powerful black man in America. Known more through the students he produced, like Malcolm X, Louis Farrakhan and Muhammad Ali, this controversial man exposed the black man as well as the world to a teaching, till now, was only used behind closed doors of high degree Masons and Shriners.

He was born October, 1897 in Saundersville, GA, but didn't find his calling until the early 1930s when he met his teacher, Master Fard Muhammad, outside of Detroit, MI. Upon his teacher's departure, Elijah Muhammad built what is known today as the Nation of Islam. His labor and vision is responsible for generating the greatest impact of Islam in North America and producing the greatest revolution in America without lifting or firing a single gun. More books, audio and dvds about him can be found at ScopeAndAbility(dot)com.

The writings of Elijah Muhammad are simple. As he put it, "My mission is to teach Black people the knowledge of themselves, God and the devil and to separate them unto their own kind before the impending destruction of America and the world as we know it."

I would not have expected to ever received a book so badly written from a company like Amazon. Is there no one at this company to scan books before they are put out there for the public. I feel as if my money for this piece of trash was stolen. I have read books that were poorly written but this comes not near that.

Elijah Muhammad (1897-1975; born as Elijah Robert Poole) led the Nation of Islam from 1934 until his death. This book was published posthumously in 1993, and is presented in a question-and-answer format.

Here are some quotations from the book:

"And so, I did begin teaching, that the Son of Man, or the second coming of Jesus is present. This is Him now, here among us. But He (Wallace Fard Muhammad) didn't allow me to go far with that kind of teaching while He was present, He told me, 'You can do that after I am gone.'... He said, 'When I am gone,' He said, 'then you can say whatever you want to about Me.'" (Pg. 3)
"And His mother He (Wallace Fard Muhammad) says, was a white woman, His father, He used the word He says, 'My father went up in the mountains to choose My mother in order to get a child that looked like the people, that had this particular member among them so that He could get among them, more successful. And that He was the One. His mother he says was a white woman, and His father was a black man." (Pg. 6)
"And the white man we say is the devil. Why, because of he's weak physically coming into being from original man, or aboriginal people of the Earth." (Pg. 18)
"I think the justice is after Malcolm and that pretty soon he will be on his knees trying to crawl back to just that what he left." (Pg. 34)
Q: You may recall when I asked this question that related to the manner of race and color, I had asked you whether a white man can become a Muslim, and had said to me by nature he could not?"
A: He could not. (Pg. 58)
A: When we say that the white man can't be a Muslim, it don't mean that he can't believe it, it means that by nature he cannot believe it." (Pg. 64)
