Peace! I come in the name of Born Magnetic Allah. I have been a memeber of the Five Percent Nation of Islam (5%) since 1986. I have come across awesome pieces of information during that period of time and have interacted with many who have walked with the founder of the 5% Nation, Allah. There is a RICH history (both written and oral) that I know of and have in my posession written by many over the years, b.u.t. there was nothing (to my knowlege) which compacted all of that into one book, until now. I have never come across a more scholorly and indepth work detailing the rich history of the 5% Nation, until I read this book. From the Root to the Fruit, this book covers it all. It has the transcript of an interview Allah did in 1967, so you get to read for yourself and get a glimpse into the thinking of the man who Fathered a Nation. It details the history of our Flag, our intimate involvement in the STOPPING of a riot in Harlem in 1968 when Dr. Martin Luther King was murdered. It covers the POSITIVE opinion of the Hon. Elijah Muhammad on the 5% Nation, and much, much more. This is not just a book for the "insiders" such as myself, b.u.t. this book is also for those who may have heard a snippet here and there over the years, or who may have no knowledge at all of the 5% Nation; this book is for you. An easy read, that is very difficult to put down.

Peace to the God, Wakeel Allah for documenting our history in a manner worthy of the Supreme Intelligence that produced this Nation.
Peace!

Out of all our methods of study, history is best qualified and most attractive to reward our research. Especially when that history can be verified with empirical evidence and eyewitness testimony. This was perhaps the most objective, well documented and expansive history on the poor righteous teachers that has been published to date.
A must read for the adept as well as the neophyte.
