In the Name of ALLAH, the beneficent, the Merciful
“Shall we then turn away the Reminder from you altogether because you are a prodigal people?” (Holy Qur’an 43:5)
The Hon. Minister Louis Farrakhan since 1984, in particular, has been one of the most vilified-hated-misrepresented men in history. The media and much of white America have already concretized their views of this man and his message. Also, black people who follow the lead of the dominate society repeat the same. Is this man a racist hater or is he a divine man of God walking in the footsteps of the prophets (yet he doesn’t claim to be any prophet)?
We, the members of The Nation of Islam, have a different view of this man and his message than most. We believe that he is a divinely inspired teacher. We believe further that he is fulfilling prophecy as a Warner to America and her government in this dark time. Lastly, we believe he is the national representative of The Messenger of ALLAH, The Most Hon. Elijah Muhammad
What is the great benefit of Louis Farrakhan and why should anyone consider his leadership?
At this time I would like to speak as one who has accepted and benefited from his divine ministry. One of the titles that we refer to Minister Farrakhan is “The reminder” or “A divine reminder”.
According to the Encarta World English Dictionary a re·mind·er is:
“Something that reminds: somebody or something that reminds a person or people of somebody or something else.”
The prefix “re” means:
“Again, anew –rebuild”
Lastly mind is defined as
“Seat of thought and memory: the center of consciousness that generates thoughts, feelings, ideas, and perceptions, and stores knowledge and memories”
And
“Way of thinking: an opinion or personal way of thinking about something”

With the above understanding of words we can view Minister Farrakhan and the purpose of his ministry better.
When you come to Farrakhan and open your ear and your heart to the message that he gives; you will find a message that will renew our state of conscious and give us the ability to connect to the divine within. I have heard him say it from his own mouth that “His only job is to connect you to God so that you can grow in God and God begins to lead you.”
This world has been greatly influenced by satanic forces. In particular as black people our very soul has been poisoned by the philosophy of white supremacy in religion, education, economic and politics. This condition necessitates us needing one to repair the damage done to us by over 400 years of physical slavery and outright mis-education which produces “mental slavery.
Therefore, The Bible teaches us in Romans 12:2, “Do not conform yourselves to this age but be transformed by the renewal of your mind.”
We must free our minds as out great thinker and historian Carter G. Woodson taught us 75 years ago when he said,
“When you control a man's thinking you do not have to worry about his actions. You do not have to tell him not to stand here or go yonder. He will find his 'proper place' and will stay in it. You do not need to send him to the back door. He will go without being told. In fact, if there is no back door, he will cut one for his special benefit. His education makes it necessary.”
So, The Honorable Louis Farrakhan is more than just some little “black radical” trying to cause trouble. He is a man with a teaching, taught by his spiritual father, which will awaken the mind of we who are mentally sleeping and show our true identity as being more than “African Americans”.
When I begin to first listen to Minister Farrakhan, I didn’t know the depth of my mental death until he told me so. I have been influenced by Minister Farrakhan, who was taught by the wisest Blackman in history-The Hon. Elijah Muhammad, for 15 years
He “reminded” me of my great heritage as a part of the black race. He “reminded me” that I am supposed to be in the image and likeness of the Creator. He taught me that my ancestors were the original makers of civilization and the seed of their genius lives in me.
Thank you for reading these few words
