My ResponseTo Mr. Richard Roeper's Article Criticizing The Hon. Louis Farrakhan As Anti-US

The Hon. Louis Farrakhan, The Man Of God In Our Times

[Editor note: This was emailed to Mr. Richard Roeper regarding his attacks against Min. Farrakhan. I await his response if any.]

In The Name Of ALLAH, The Beneficent, The Merciful


Greetings!


  Mr. Roeper, 


  I read your critique of The Hon. Louis Farrakhan titled "Farrakhan's Faulty Logic Leads To New Anti-US Tirade". My name is Mustafaa Abdul Muhammad and I am a student and follower of The Hon. Louis Farrakhan. I am also the founder and author of a blog titled My Walk With Farrakhan[Http://mywalkwithfarrakhan.com] which states as one of it's purposes "to be a witness bearer to the CHARACTER, INTEGRITY, TRUTH, CORRECTNESS of position and DIVINE basis of the works of The Hon. Louis Farrakhan". It is for this purpose that I am writing this response to your public defamation of Minister Louis Farrakhan.


   You start off on the wrong foot and misleading the reader by describing his latest speech[3-25-11] at Jackson State as a "new anti-US Tirade". Where you even there to hear the entirety of his speech? The Holy Qur'an, the scripture of Muslims, speaks of people who disputes without knowledge. Where is your proof that the Minister spoke anything "anti-US"? Is a black man critiquing a governmental system and a state[Mississippi] that has been wicked and detrimental to the aims and aspirations of his people what you consider anti-American?


  Your irresponsible characterizations of Minister Farrakhan as "anti-US" could have lead to him and/or his followers being targeted as some type of seditious group and cause potential harm to those in his name by others who haven't ascertained the truth for themselves.


  The Hon. Louis Farrakhan is a man who has performed service in the black community and the greater humanity for 56 years since his becoming a Muslim. He has been responsible for the transformation of thousands of lives. He has delivered a word that has gone into the jail and prisons awakening that inmate to greater responsibility and a new appreciation for human life. He has give self respect and honor to numerous black women(and any woman who will listen) who have heard his message of the sacredness of the female. He has been on the front line intervening in gang conflicts teaching young black men to "stop the killing". He has counseled rappers from using their platform to promote filth, degeneracy, gangsterism and degrading their women, but to use their gift to lead the youth to higher aspirations. He is the man who famously called over a million black men to Washington, DC for the theme of atonement, responsibility and reconciliation. Are these the works of a man who is "anti-US"?


  His work has been to transform and redeem those whom the United States has historically destroyed, exploited and left for dead for over 400 years of our sojourn in this nation. He is doing a work that the US cannot do nor has she even shown the will to repair those that were destroyed by her actions.


  Secondly, you point out his statement that the United States lacked the moral authority to attack the forces of Libya. He is absolutely correct. Either you are ignorant of the wicked history of the United States Government or you are deceitfully hiding your own dirty hand to attack The Hon. Louis Farrakhan.


  You easily point out what you consider the wickedness of Muaammar Gadhafi by stating "it makes perfect sense to side with the guy who has engaged in state-sponsored terrorism, who has executed dissidents, who has been accused of ordering the bombing of Pan Am Flight 103 and being behind the bombing that killed two U.S. servicemen and a Turkish woman and injured 200 others."


The Holy Qur'an Sura(chapter) 45:28 declares "Every nation will be called to its record."


Jesus(Peace Be Upon Him) says, "Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you."


  If we examine the history of America from inception to now we will find a history of slavery, suffering and death to the Native Americans, Blacks and even your own white brothers and sisters have been ill-affected under the government. The record of America isn't pretty.


  You were involved in the slave trade which brought blacks to these shores to be your burden bearers. While being transported in the middle passage from Africa to America an estimated 100,000,000 lives were lost.


  You in your ethno-centric mind disregarded the established culture of the Native Americans and murdered them in return for their friendship towards you.


  You were involved in the Tuskegee Experiment from 1932-1972 which played with the lives of black men with Syphilis.


  You were involved in in the 1952 overthrow of the Democratically elected leader of Iran Mohammed Mossadeq and replaced him with the Shah(Mohammed Reza Pahlavi). Madeline Albright, Bill Clinton's secretary of state, in her term admitted to American involvement in this act.


  You were involved in the assassination of Patrice Lumumba, another democratically elected leader, and replaced him with a leader more accommodating to Western interest. And you have repeated this pattern of overthrowing governments and replacing them with leaders after your liking too many times to mention.


  You were involved in the dropping of an Atomic Bomb on the people of Hiroshima and Nagasaki under the leadership of your president Harry S. Truman.


  You have turned the other way while police, paid public servants, have killed black people and yet such killers get a paid vacation and a slap on the wrist.


  You bombed and killed black people when they tried to get progressive in places like Tulsa, Oklahoma(Black Wall Street), Rosewood, Fl and the Move organization in Philadelphia under the leadership of John Africa, who was killed along with his family when a bomb was dropped on their home.


  When we protested in the 60's we were beaten, killed, water hosed and endured vicious dogs who bit off the private parts of black men and bit off the breast of black women. 


  Aside from your murderous history you have neglected the poor and suffering of this nation. Our war veterans who believed in this country and fought in her wars many have been reduced to living under bridges and in cardboard boxes. Poor people suffer everyday, unemployment is rising, yet the US finds the money to prosecute wars but can't feed the poor.


   I can go on and on and not exhaust speaking of the wicked history of this government against not just blacks but the entire world. So, my leader was right in stating America has no moral authority to move against another nation.


  Thank you for reading these few words and I leave you with these words from the Bible[Habakkuk 2:6-12]


"Woe to him who piles up stolen goods and makes himself wealthy by extortion… You have plundered many nations… For you have shed man's blood; you have destroyed lands and cities and everyone in them. "Woe to him who builds his realm by unjust gain to set his nest on high, to escape the clutches of ruin! You have plotted the ruin of many peoples, shaming your own house and forfeiting your life. The stones of the wall will cry out, and the beams of the woodwork will echo it. "Woe to him who builds a city with bloodshed and establishes a town by crime!”

Sincerely,


Mustafaa Abdul Muhammad

Fitnah, Slander And Causing Conflict Within The Muslim Ummah

UNITY!

 

By
Brother Mustafaa Abdul Muhammad

In the Name of ALLAH, The Beneficent, The Merciful

The topic of this post was inspired by the many recent online clashes amongst believers in the Nation of Islam-under the leadership of The Hon. Louis Farrakhan. 

These online clashes have been manifested greatly on Facebook and I would assume other places where we congregate online. As Muslims and practitioners of the faith of Islam we are commanded to be of those who seek peace and not aggressors by words, deeds or actions. However, we have witnessed clashes between FOI and MGT, Nation of Islam vs Orthodox Muslims, theological debates between brethren, anti-Farrakhan rants, male bashing and female bashing in return. 

All of these conflicts serve to cause division within the Ummah(community of believers) and make us easy prey in the hands of our open enemy. 

As we will see further not only is this non-productive and divisive it is a sin to rent asunder the unity of Muslims.

We are commanded in Sura 3:101

"Hold fast by the rope of ALLAH all together and be not divided."

Further Sura 23:52 reminds us

"And surely this your community is one community, and I am your Lord, so keep your duty to me."

The unity of the Muslim community is of the utmost importance and anything that breaks our unity is actually a major sin. This brings us to understanding the Arabic word Fitna or Fitnah.

According to Huda, author of The Everything Understanding Islam Book, Fitna is described as the following: 

 "The word fitna comes from an Arabic verb which means to "seduce, tempt, or lure." There are many shades of meaning, mostly referring to a feeling of disorder or unrest.

Variations of the word fitna are found throughout the Qur'an to describe the trials and temptations that may face the believers. The term has also been used to describe divisions which occurred in the early years of the Muslim community.

In modern usage, it is used to describe forces that cause controversy, fragmentation, scandal, chaos, or discord within the Muslim community, disturbing social peace and order."

The Holy Qur'an Sura 9:47 describes Fitnah as division.

“And they would have hurried about in your midst (spreading corruption) and sowing sedition among you [yabghoonakum al-fitnah]."

Further in The Holy Qur'an Sura 24:19 our attention is drawn to the seriousness of causing conflict amongst the believers.

"Those who love that scandal should circulate respecting those who believe, for them is a grievous chastisement in this world and the Hereafter. And Allah knows, while you know not." 

Some have stated that they are just "telling the truth" or "keeping it real".  I would ask you to take into consideration a few points as we conclude this topic.

Sura 104(Yusef Ali translation) entitled The Slanderer gives divine guidance regarding our interactions as a community(Ummah) 

"Woe to every (kind of) scandal-monger and backbiter."

Footnote 6266 of the aforementioned Ayat gives further depth to the topic.

"Three vices are here condemned in the strongest terms: (1) scandal-mongering, talking or suggesting evil of men or women by word or innuendo, or behavior, or mimicry, or Sarcasm, or insult; (2) detracting from their character behind their backs, even if the things suggested are true, where the motive is evil."

Therefore, even in "telling the truth" or "keeping it real" where harm comes to the unity of believers that is a serious sin.

When you express your truth ask these questions: 

1) Is what you saying going to build up the Ummah, unite Muslims and edify one another? 

2) Are you offering something beneficial to dialogue or are you just venting your own personal hurt and disappointments to generalize a segment of the Muslim Ummah? 

3) What are your intentions in stating what you are stating? Everything in Islam is judged by our intentions regarding the action. 

"So let us rise ye Muslims fight for your own." Muslim Fight Song

Thank you for reading these few words

Farrakhan Warns/Advises President Obama On Libya-Ghaddafi

The Hon. Elijah Muhammad On Universal Corruption

"In this world of universal corruption and crises and the ever-growing threat of universal war, we, the so-called American Negroes, the Lost-Found members of the tribe Shabazz, should unite and take our stand on the side of Allah (God), His religion of peace (Islam) and our own nation (the Black People)." The Most Hon. Elijah Muhammad

From disciple to the mind of Christ to the mind of God...

We must endure the cross(suffering) to attain the goal of becoming one with God

By Brother Mustafaa Abdul Muhammad

In The Name Of ALLAH, The Beneficent, The Merciful

"Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant," Phillipians 2:5-7

  The Hon. Louis Farrakhan, the modern man of God in our midst, has taught us the importance of not just knowing scripture-quoting scripture, but understanding scripture and applying it to modern times.

Proverbs 4:7 bears witness to the importance of having understanding

"Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding." 

  The Hon. Louis Farrakhan has given us correct knowledge of the Bible and our place in it as Black men/women and further how our slavery experience(Genesis 15:13-14 & !st Peter 2:9-10) was part of the plan of God to battle test a people, thus purifying them and preparing them to be Saviours to their people and the whole world. Undeserved suffering is redemptive!

  Of utmost importance he has given us the knowledge that human beings can grow to reflect the greatness of the God within. "Ye are all Gods children of The Most High God." (Psalm 82:6) This is not polytheism or shirk... we fully recognize that only God, The Supreme Creator, is worthy of worship and a human being no matter how great is only functioning by the power and permission of the Supreme Creator, God.

  The Most Hon. Elijah Muhammad, The Messenger-Messiah, said if we only really knew Jesus we would awaken overnight. Jesus, from the Biblical perspective, was a man who was able to overcome the vicissitudes of life and reach oneness with God. "I and my Father are one" John 10:30... This only means that through struggle, pain and discipline Jesus was able to bring his mind, will and purpose into unity with God and thus he became a perfect functionary of God's will on Earth. Some might say that is contrary to Islam, Hadith and The Qur'an. Let's see... ALLAH says in Hadith Qudsi, the sacred hadiths, "My servant draws not near to Me with anything more loved by Me than the religious duties I have enjoined upon him, and My servant continues to draw near to Me with supererogatory works so that I shall love him. When I love him I am his hearing with which he hears, his seeing with which he sees, his hand with which he strikes and his foot with which he walks."(Hadith Qudsi 25) This is Islamic teaching that is in harmony with Jesus teaching I and my father are one.

  This is understanding Jesus properly that through his life and example we can find inspiration to grow from disciple(discipline), to the mind of Christ and thus the mind of God.

  We must first discipline ourselves by submitting fully to God and being obedient. This is the uphill road and/or struggle of life. By us being obedient to God, through following his will, we begin to become acquainted with his mind and thinking. Thus we begin to function from a higher level. This is the mind of Christ(The anointed one) budding in man and woman. Lastly, from Christ level we grow to God level by overcoming the weakness of flesh, totally surrendering our mind to God's mind and never coming out of the recognition that all praises belongs to God, The Lord of the worlds.

  This is just one example of how Farrakhan can take a people whom the world considers nothing, empower them with knowledge, wisdom and understanding and make them world teachers.

"I thank thee O Father Lord of heaven and earth that thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent and hast revealed them unto babes" Luke 10:21
