Make This Week Your Most Dynamic Yet

 The Hon. Louis Farrakhan, the modern man of God in our midst, has consistently for the last 24 years pointed our attention to the program Self Improvement The Basis For Community Development. This is in harmony with the teachings of The Honorable Elijah Muhammad, who for 44 years taught "Do For Self" and "Be Yourself". 

This places the responsibility for our elevation at the hands of each individual. 

Each week that we live we are granted 168 hours of time to either waste in unproductive actions or utilize to make life better. I would like to point out 5 things we can do this week to make life richer.

1) Health: Do something this week to improve your physical well being. You do not have to join a elaborate gym, buy a new workout uniform or buy the latest health dvds. Just do something like resolve to eat in home, wholesome, cooked meals as opposed to fast food. Or, try one of the cheapest yet most effective exercises known, which is simple walking a few times a week. Try fasting for a day or two to rid self of toxins and to refocus your mind.

2) Spiritual: Though I am a proud Muslim follower of both The Hon. Elijah Muhammad and The Hon. Louis Farrakhan, I will not be speaking of particular "religion" in this section. Yet, I will be speaking of the universal principles that bind all faiths. This week rid yourself of worry, stress and grief by seeking refuge in God and practicing prayer as many times as needed. When we pray we do not offer supplication to a God sitting on a throne who is so in need of our prayers... we pray to unite our will, mind and purpose with the One God and thus peace is achieved by as they say "letting go and let God". In the first tip we looked at fasting for health benefits, but it has equally as powerful spiritual benefits.

3) Financial: Get your money straight! So, much stress is caused by money... either not having enough or worrying about trying to get more. I believe that one can live richly but frugal. You can have some of the nice things in life, but you don't have to put yourself in the poorhouse by living above your means. You know what you can do and what you cannot do. This week set up and achieve a goal in regard to finances. Visit annualcreditreport.com to gain access to your credit reports and begin ridding your life of debt. Or, create a new budget which allows you to save more money and not waste as much. Lastly, find out what you do well that can be exploited in a small business of your own.

4) Relationships: I am speaking of all relationships in this part... Male/female, Husband/wife, brother/sister, parent/child and so on. This is the week to start the process, if you can, of repairing the damage. We do so many things to offend one another over time and without dealing with the issues they become lodged in our mind  and become a replaying drama. We can began to heal by going through the process of atonement, which the first step is pointing out the wrong then going through the other steps until we reach reconciliation.

5) Get your groove on: Life is too serious for you to compound it by having an extreme approach to life where you do not allow time for play and recreation. Trust me you will add more grief, wrinkles, stress and even health problems if you do not allow yourself time to engage in activities to relax. Whatever relaxes you and is not harmful to self or others is a good thing to pursue. 

I will be taking a dose of my own medicine(advice) and trying these five things to make my life a little richer this week and I pray you will join me.

The Boondocks - Martin Luther King watching modern TV

This is my favorite part of Boondocks and a perfect illustration of how insane we(as a race) have become in the name of "keeping it real". Yeah Martin Luther King would be sad if he could see this mess today. 

 

Martin Luther Kind said(According to Harry Belafonte), before he died, that he felt like he was integrating his people into a burning house. 

 

We have integrated into this society and have thus been stripped of our morals, manners and by the way we act it seems our minds.

19 Questions For Black Men

By Brother Mustafaa Abdul Muhammad

***
 

Dear Brother, this letter is a reminder to you from the Creator of the Heavens and the Earth, who inspired me to ask you these questions. The Bible says in the beginning God, The Creator, created man in his image and likeness and gave him power and dominion over all except himself. This man was called Adam. 

Brother, Don't we need to be like God created us in the beginning and become powerful again? Let us all examine these 19 questions, look at ourselves and then correct ourselves.

Beloved brother, we(I) are far off from being the men our Father(God) created us to be. Okay, Let's go to these 19 questions. And I pray by the power of God we will take them to heart and become mighty Men again!

1) Could you explain what being a man is to you without talking about between your legs?

2) Are you letting another man put you on a corner like a ho to sell dope for a little money while that same man is making big dollars off you and you kill your own people?

3) Are you living with a woman and she is taking care of you? Are you a baby or a man?

4) Why do you call yourself, brothers and sisters Nigger, Nigga and then get mad when the white man and others call you a Nigga/Nigger... isn't it the same?

5) Why do you call yourself Dog and your brothers Dog when you are a man? Did you know that Dog spelt backwards is God? Why not call yourself little God since you are from your father(God)?

6) Why do you call a woman a bitch? What is Jesus mother? Who is your mother?

7) Why will you date a white woman and treat her like a queen, but treat your own black woman like trash?

8) Why do you drink beer, smoke weed and destroy yourself? Do you put cheap gas in your car? Why put destructive beer/drugs/weed etc. in yourself? Are you from God and greater than this?

9) Are you spending anytime reading?

10) Are you trying to have your own business or do you want to work for someone else forever?

11) Why do you forgive white people and smile when they wrong you, but if a black person does you wrong you wont smile at them?

12) Do you read any of God's holy books?

13) Are you praying and thanking God for keeping you here?

14) Do you have children you are not taking care of? Are you letting the welfare office take care of your child? Why do you do that if you are a man?

15) Are you down for whatever when it comes to your self improvement and elevation?

16) Why are black churches about 75% female? Where are the men made in the image and likeness of God?

17) Do you respect your elders?

18) What is your purpose in life? What did the God create you for? Think deeply, long and answer this question.

19) Do you love yourself? Do you love God? Can you prove it? How? Are you going to be a MAN for GOD or a PUNK for SATAN?


Thank you for reading and we are going to work it out brothers.... Keep ya head up!

Farrakhan: I Can't Do Anything Without Elijah Muhammad

The Coalition Of African American Muslims Respond To Ground Zero Mosque Building Controversy Live

CAAM Respond to Controversy Surrounding Park 51 Project

Thursday, September 2, 2010 - 1:00 PM Eastern
From The National Press Club

Why:The controversy over the Park 51 Project is indicative of a general rise in racist bigotry towards people of color in this country. While the issue has its particular and unique distinctions, it cannot be separated from the rising violence against African Americans and Latinos, or the increasingly inflammatory rhetoric and exclusionary politics driving the national debate on immigration. 
 
As African-American Muslims, we comprise one-third of the overall Muslim community in the United States. However, we feel our unique perspective has been missing from an emerging national discussion. We wish to join that discussion by first of all affirming that among our forbears are Muslims who have lived peacefully and productively in this country since its inception. They, and others among our people have sacrificed too much, both in enduring the horrors and brutalities of chattel slavery, and during the long march to freedom, civil and human rights for us to silently accept a return to Jim Crow exclusionary practices and policies that relegate either ourselves or our coreligionists from other ethnic backgrounds to second-class citizenry.

We commend all of those fair-minded Jews, Christians and members of other faith and ethnic communities who have raised their voices in defense of the constitutional rights of all Americans. We add our voice to theirs and will work for a country that reflects the diversity of its people and extends full and equal rights to all. We believe that united we will stand as a nation, and if the growing divisiveness we are witnessing goes unchallenged, divided we will fall.

The Works Of The Hon. Louis Farrakhan Cannot Be Compared To Racist, Tea Party, Right Wing Bigots

The Modern Miracle Of The Resurrection Of The Dead

by

Brother Mustafaa Abdul Muhammad

In The Name of ALLAH, The Beneficent, The Merciful

It has recently come to my attention that noted columnist and critic Stanley Crouch has characterized radio and television host, Glen Beck, as the "white Farrakhan". This type of thinking implies that as vile, repugnant and racist Glen Beck and his ilk are The Hon. Louis Farrakhan is polar opposite and embodies the same ideas just in black skin.  

This type of erroneous thinking has been floating around for years as far back as the 60's and the black power movement. Malcolm X, The Hon. Elijah Muhammad, The Black Panthers, Stokley Carmichael and others who took a strong stand for black interest and uplift have been labeled as black racist by white America. Even President Obama has been accused of being a racist and secretly giving reparations in the form of welfare to black people.

 First, Black people are not racist by nature. And we have shown by our tolerance of oppression in America and ability to turn the other cheek that we are not a vindictive people. 

 However, we are critical of aspects of American Caucasians and society that ill affects us as a people. For example, if a criminal breaks into my home robs me of everything, rapes my wife and kills my children I cannot be accused of hate or reverse aggression if I HATE such a person and pursue action against them.

America as a country has robbed us materially, mentally, spiritually, economically, raped our women and killed our sons.

"Woe to him who builds a city with bloodshed and establishes a town by crime!" Habakkuk 2:12

This is the United Snakes of America in a nutshell where our fore parents were enslaved, Indians were killed and the country was built on blood shed and crime just as the above scripture says. 

We as a people haven't robbed anyone, killed off white people, discriminated against them, denied them jobs, enslaved them or been brutal to them or their children,  so there is no way to say we are the reverse of white racist and tea party members. 

The Works of The Hon. Louis Farrakhan

The Man Of God On The Scene Today

The Hon. Louis Farrakhan has a 55 year track record of working to uplift and redeem the black people of America specifically and generally all of fallen humanity. 

He is a man who is responsible for transforming millions of lives with the word of God. He is responsible for taking black men from the prison of their minds thus freeing them from physical prisons circumstances have placed them in. He is a man who gives the black woman a new view of her self as a dignified, righteous, holy woman just as we read the mother of Jesus was in the Bible.

He is not just a man who's works are confined to America, but a servant of God who has traveled the globe teaching Atonement, Responsibility and Reconciliation among brothers and sisters throughout the planet. 

The Hon. Louis Farrakhan is doing the works of Jesus in your midst. For those who think that I speak blasphemy for saying such listen to the following words from Jesus

"I tell you the truth. The person that believes in me will do the same things I have done. Yes! He will do even greater things than I have done." John 14:12-14

Therefore you see Farrakhan [spiritually]opening the eyes of the blind, making the dumb speak, raising the dead, freeing the captives and making the broken whole. This was illustrated in the Million Man March 15 years ago, where nearly 2 million black men showed up to hear the message of atonement and responsibility.

This man and his cronies have not done a fraction of what Farrakhan have done in way of creating positive change

Where are the works of Glen Beck, the Tea Party and other white right wingers that compare to what this holy man of God has done for 55 years? You wont find it, because they are the children of their fathers who put us in slavery and ruled the world under the idea of white supremacy. Thus their rage is overflowing due to them seeing their power slipping and in their mind "Niggers are taking over".
