job and providing mid brain year and we had a wonderful day of atonement twentieth anniversary twenty first anniversary and i'm a man mind and very happy always brother to be with you to discuss things that you as a muslim can bring up in question form that others who don't know what you know can't think to bring up so that our audience of muslims and christians and of different ethnic and racial strains could be defined by your questions and minutes i was getting ready the other day to come downstairs from my room and as i was standing looking in the mirror i was saying thank you to a lot for allowing me for sixty two years to be a follower lost my way temporarily it is an honor to love to know and to be faithful to greatest man of my life your life our lives and the only man that can say with truth that i met with and was taught by all mighty god a law in the person of master mohammed in some in our audience you know you think kind of spooky you think that god is some fella out in space i notice when you do something great you point up you're not wrong because when you point up as though god is above he really is he's the most magnificent manifestation of his ninety nine attributes he's in the highest most elevated place in terms of knowledge wisdom understanding and power and that's why he's called omnipresent omniscient but yet and came among us this is known in the scriptures as the visitation by god to a people that he chose and found  every thing that he had to purchase that field in which was that pearl and master far out of mohammed purchased our lives and then found the pearl the honorable elijah muhammad and set him before us that we might be affected and come into the circle of god you know doing favors day people are moving and throw you this are patient you were and little that i know that appear years later that you would be representing here in chicago even though it was a promotion for me but sort of a demotion for you and i don't think that story gets tall enough the humility that had to be show given such strong tahrir that the m m gave that nobody would destroy this house you know and not to say that it was not be able to already been destroyed because he was quietly separating the spokesman from the man you know and so all of this that we lived through and some of us lost our line of the storm i remember brother i felt privileged but i feel bad for you so how do you merge those two things in u i would give away on this you never want him to speak a word of  privilege and a joy there are we said to talk i don't necessarily like the camera that i used to be because i used to be excited about being able to interview you but it's much more pleasant at this time in this place for a purpose bigger as i was coming here as the brothers were driving me i said a prayer and asked a law to guide our especially the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart that our words will be acceptable in his sight and i asked him to open the hearts of those who view our program and those who listen that they might with some words that we speak be inspired to do as the messenger said we must make an agonizing praise of the way we live our lives but to the beauty of the words that you spoke i was coming to be  and our law bring me through being down i could never really appreciate what was the man what is the dean did a great service to me personally sometimes if you were a piece of steel and you were put in a fire if the steel could fall it might say what this is a lot i hate going putting me in the fire and then someone takes the steel after it's been in the fire and then cool it and then beat it beat it because you're shaping it now making it a sword and these kinds of lessons in life come to all of us you have your times of up you have your times of down but if you can make a weather the storm of the down your up will be so much greater and the level of up will be more than you achieved before your fall so i think  including mohamed and i would say that with deep reverence because he had a divine function to perform it's not a function i'm glad it was not my assignment but it was a divine assignment and i explained that in in a minute but what he did for me i was very big in new york as you remember we had eighteen mosques in one city we had four universities eighteen businesses we were the strongest mosque in the nation of islam we well i mean i was in a million  and i was driving the band six hundred yeah i had well i was i was shaba then raise a brother in terms of the clothes that i wore and cadillac but here's what happened i had nothing many people would have thought that i was a rich man because i looked nice i lived well and they said would think that i had a lot of money i was in charge of the treasury of new york which was the fat as treasury in the nation of islam but louis farrakhan never went in any treasury that was not denoted for me to take something else even though one day the messenger said now brother you know that the treasuries are really don't have no sins and his feet know all of you and i was and we were in your feed in the nation we sold over a hundred thousand papers a week sometimes i would bring our over four hundred thousand dollars to the headquarters of the nation from the sale of papers from the sale of fish nobody beat us in anything i'm not bragging it's just our commitment the honorable elijah muhammad but sometimes when you rise or god elevates you you can think more of yourself then you should and you can sometimes see yourself as invincible because nobody whipped me in a debate nothing like that but when i got to chicago i was taken down not a notch here but several notches where a man met me in washington one day he said how does it feel to have your wings clipped i said well i didn't know that i wasn't flying but my phone never rang no more people that used to call me all the time as the national muhammad i never heard from them any more because sometimes you think that the people around you are really with you but is when you have a position of authority and power you don't know what is really driving the added to the of i'm with you what are you with me for z what can i do for you and if i don't do it for you today will you be with me tomorrow so i had to learn all of that and why does the dean mohamed help me to learn no matter what the intention was for me god's intention was to purify me for a job that i was to do now that i am doing and throughout the book it talks about hell is used  that's correct let me say brothers and sisters we're streaming live all over the entire world and i don't know if you want to take care of that we have an opportunity or not but argued certainly give our my number seven seven three two or three that people one person in particular wanted to talk about the prison ministry but it let me get to certainly before even touch on that i've know congressman keith ellison as i got to bring this up condition of the democratic voting that sort of thing for people have to be careful of the things they say but i'm happy that you have people that have responded and have been able to show him  that he believed in and nobody wanted to be in the democratic party today and even re is white control and specifically jewish control of politics economics hollywood music media people who want to get ahead you say things and you do things that the enemy already knows you're being deceitful because you can't out this see the master deceiver so in order to get something that you want you trash someone that they don't like well who cares i i don't bother with keith i wish him success poor fella you know if he has to bash me in order to get a job well help yourself brother you know say whatever you think we'll get you a d n c job but you have not diminished me one atom's weight what he's done is diminished himself he cannot say that he didn't follow me at one time  he cannot say that he believed in the teachings of the honorable elijah muhammad at one time he cannot say that we did anything to harm him or his aspirations we have other muslims in government run muslims as judges muslims as mitt mayors and they have never stooped that low to deny a man that raises them spiritually into a higher level of consciousness so for brother congressman i do wish him well you know i like him though i think he's very he came in congressman costs and broken came i believe but both of them when i was in washington visited my suite so i don't really sit down and talk like you have not talking but evidently the enemy has made me the litmus test for all black people who want to rise in their world no rising in their world and they can not stop my rise in their world so the when that's beneath my wings that is making me probably the most listened to black man or not only in america but in all the black world as well so if i don't have to lie cheat steal or deny my teacher and my god and what he taught in order to achieve what god is blessing me to achieve that should be enough of an example for you how would lineker rose that you do not have to denounce your brother to achieve greatness and by the way if you didn't now wants me to achieve greatness wait until the enemy betrays you and then throws you back like a piece of  brother that that changed your life was the power inherent in the word that god revealed to change all our lives so the first brought a word i believed it i preached it you heard it and it positively affected your life and i hope it will affect the lives of all of those who hear the anybody to answer that kind of question the way that you did even if you didn't have the time you think you've heard she might have been troubled a little but you know we have this know that or it was something that you started you remember of course and i went as far as it was necessary ok because with me that day was ok and abdul malik when he heard how i answered her he wanted that answer to be in the muslim world because he felt it was and it exactly as it was necessary at that moment in time to be answered you know when people ask questions i did not very intelligent way she asked about an unpardonable sin and then when i answered then i gave her the opening that but she never accused us of sharing she asked me to explain where and i thought that the beauty of that system in the way she approached us was worthy it was not you who silly them it was i who slayed them by your hand when the prophet received the revelation of the directions and that image was there of a man in the hat d a man dressed in white came to the prophet and he was asking questions of the prophet and when the prophet answered the questions and left he said to his companions do you know who that was and said to mary he's going to have a child and his name would be the messiah worthy of the god in this world and in the here after and she said how can i have a child and man has not yet touched me a loss is it is easy for him he just says be and it is then in another part of the koran talking of mary it's is sit his spirit to her and it  human beings he never sent angels to us if we not angels he sent a human to us all these profits were human beings and the must sire and islamic world is looking for is a human being not wait wait wait wait wait look at the power that the man he is staff number one he said he's going to break the cross kill this one he's going to set justice in the earth and set down every tyrant what kind of power is that system in a man that's going to set justice in the earth and set down oh the tyrants power of a law in a human being but the praise does not belong to the yeoman it belongs to the god who possesses that spirit from him now the last thing i will say is on the messiah i want you to study this in the third sutra of the koran sort of him around he says that this messiah would open the eyes of the blind by whose permission he would make the deaf hear and cleanse the leper by whose permission he would raise the dead to life by whose permission i don't mean he's a lover it means that a law is in a man and that man is using the power that god has annoying to him with to do all these things by laws permission and see what  so what happens to us we become very spooky we live in a physical universe look at this universe created by our law it's not spooky it's not spirit it's material and you and i come physically from this earth so all of the chemistry of the earth is in us so in this in the second sura of the cause the shedding of blood and that that he plays in the earth is called a leaf you know what kali for means my sister it means one who stands in the place of another in the absence of that one or in the death of that one that's what a colleague is so you and i we ought to be that of god we stand in his place we ought to rule out courting to his guidance and wisdom and the more honorable we are in submitting our will to do his will he em with the annoying thing of his spi and this is the thing that has touched my heart in the prayer that mass the father of mohammed wanted us to say in the morning surely i have turned the originator of the heavens and the earth is not physically here but we are right and he has set this universe on an  toward perfection and we are in that age now when the human being will be perfect to represent god himself as his  woman i keep so it's the believing me and the believing women the truth for men the true for women the sacrificing men the sacrificing women you are right there with us and we feel so my dear family that was a great question i plumb the depths of it because if i were guilty of sure i just want to close with th i would be worthy of the chastisement of the law but he blesses me so much in the face of all my in and those  been to mecca with me in truth they treated me in mecca like a rock star the young people like you they broke down the barriers i was sitting with the kings i did set myself there they set me there you know why because they don't have nobody that has the courage and i think out of her question i'm not sure whether this says that that came up and said brother all i want to do is thank you because when i was sixteen years i was a yeah yeah i went to with my uncle to the home of the celebrity of the celebrities that lived across the street from my home and it was ruby dee and ozzy davis and when they finished with mr davis and ruby dee he said let's go across the street the minister lives just across the street i want you to meet him and it's sixteen years of age she said of course i do not want to meet that man i don't know what and he gave to her but she never came across the street and what that is saying is that it's sixteen years of being given on a yearly basis to black students here in chicago where right now during black history month you can mention any black leader that you wish do not mention alija mohammed do not mention louis farrakhan what is it about my teacher and his student brown people red people and even over their own people it's the end of that civilization so that's why they're terrified not because we have guns or a big aami it's just this the truth that is in our mouth like a flaming sword never and their courage to speak the truth that god has revealed and that's the problem so i didn't want to  apologize for her rejection but what can a strength has god given your brother that he's the most consistent black man that you know he speaks the word of his teacher and he never backs down from what he has taught him so she could come fifty years later and i could embrace her and thank her for her apology but no apology was necessary i see my sister actually this is not a question but more of a testimony to you i am the niece of napoleon holmes one of your old friends and when i was in high school he took me to meet davis and then he was taking me to your house to meet you and because of all of the nudes and all the things that they had to say about you as a person me being a teenager and very impressionable i said to my uncle i don't want to go meet him and my uncle didn't understand that but i understood and so here i am now sixty six years old able to say to you that i'm sorry that  press and whoever keep me from meeting you at that point and another thing when my uncle passed away i was in the house when you called from africa saying that you were going to try to change your schedule just so you could come to his field that's the kind of person that i love and i see and i'd like ishmael i've written a couple of brothers in dallas i've got some trouble i live in labview texas and i have not got an answer back yet but i do i've been listening long enough to have the strength to fight the police department here i was arrested to us in this day he said that enemy will come right up to you and spit in your home base and he said there come a time ever when you just take your handkerchief and wiped the spit out your face and people move in and that enemy was that new to gender that's another name for a nigger is going to see to hear after because when the intense darkness comes which is on its way now they're only aim will be to kill as many of us as they can so wisdom i remember i was with house i was in my little chevrolet driving back to boston and the police in philadelphia stopped me it was about maybe one or two in the morning and when he came to the car he said if you know you ran a light i mean a stop sign this is added to the last who knows i didn't know oh i'm so sorry i didn't see it gave me a license saying your registration yes or and when and gave it to him where you're going answer he started looking in my glove box in the car and there was a recording of my song a white man's have been is a black man's him i knew i was  through after he went in the glove box he didn't go too far i said if you wish to you may search the cars you want you know he said get out stood on the handled him with the wisdom of god you know when you think you know like my brother said you know see i've told him my rights let me tell you something brother see smart people may know your rights but you don't know the nature of the enemy that you're dealing with and justice tamely i think it was he said it all black men got no right that a white man is bound to brother you've got to be wise for as the serpent and on both as the dove and some time you make it through but if there comes a time when now your life is threatened fight like hell to preserve and protect your life because it's the only life that you got i'm not tellin you to what tack a pollie sman respect the policeman respect the law yes but when the law disrespects and desires to kill you that's the only life we got then fight like hell first in the name of a law and if it is a law is well you will survive and if it's laws will the honorable elijah muhammad told us say in your mind this is the day that i die but i'm not dying alone put your back to the wall and fight like they love to insult you and the worst insult is a slap in the face or spit in your face and that's what caused aaron burr in in this board to have this  you have to when you're in prison understand that you must not let time be your enemy but let the time that you have serve you brother malcolm is probably one of the finest examples of how to behave when knowledge comes to you in prison when you  knowledge you go to the library in the prison malcolm went to that library and started reading he started with the dictionary i don't know no negro that would read the dictionary but brother malcolm with an eighth grade education read the dictionary he knew language he knew the roots of words he d d every one that debated him he writ every book in that prison that was there for his edification so use the time to get hotel you did the crime and you doing the time well others that didn't do the crime alija mohammed was in prison for five years for nothing that he did except he preaching the truth at a time when america was prosecuting a war
