we give him praise and thanks for his goodness and his mercy to the members of the human family that whenever we his divine favor and that is why we thank god for most is and the  thank him for jesus and the gospel with thank him for mohamed and the peace be upon these worthies servants of i am a student of the most honorable elijah muhammad and i could never thank our life for that man who taught me and share with me not only knowledge and wisdom but he gave me the example of what a man should  it is their thirty second anniversary of service and i'm very proud to have been a part of this week of celebration of the great normal work of the reverence mary and willie wilson the thirty second chapter of the  it's called the adoration for one to labor in this venue for thirty two years he must be full of adoration for god and his christ and full of adoration for the people honored to celebrate with him his thirty second and her thirty second year of service i'm sorry that i'm sitting rather than standing but i guess the younger i get i had a little problem with the back that affected sadek nerve and it just took my leg out from under me and i severe pain but when i think of what god has brought into my life and then when i see so many who are suffering i can't even consider my littles of four who are we to think that we should have some misfortune in life simply because we praise him so i sat in his office enjoying immensely the service and i thought well i'll be sitting but in the corner which is the book of scripture of the muslims it said you know you praise him sitting you praise him standing you that's what i experienced in his office watching this service of prayer and when i heard his beloved daughter in the office if it were not for the church if it were not for the annoying thing of his spirit we couldn't make it through such a life that god has allowed us to be a part of suffering and oppression but because we  and when we did that we didn't think about any pain because in that state there was no pain in that state of praise there was no sorrow in that state of praise our enemies could look upon us with what they were doing but if it were not for god and the annoying thing of his spirit we could not have made it not just one day but for four hundred and fifty years but i deliverance is in sight as i was driving here today not that i was driving as i was being driven i said to my son you know i don't have a clue as to what but while i was sitting in the office listening reverend and mrs wilson there was such a spirit such a feeling of safety such a feeling of security because we were all together in love and i thought to myself maybe i should talk on the children of abraham who all claim to be the children of abraham but when the father looks at his children what does he see being a parent as i am and as most of you are one of the things that makes us fairies is when i children are locked in struggle with each other because sometimes children when they fight and you wonder as a parent where did that come from since you love them all how did they get into that they hate each other and will pick up a knife will pick up a stick and if there's a pistol lying around even pick up a gun to express their anger and sometimes when a parent has to break up the fight of children you may not seen mama in the night after the fight has been broken but she's in the bedroom weeping and daddy fees present because nothing is more painful to a parent than to see their offspring in a destructive mode with one another if you feel that way as a father and as a mother how do you think abraham feel when he looks at his children jews christian most killing each other the his name and in the name of the god who called abraham his friend yet the children are not friendly with each other they make excuses to justify their hatred so i thought as christians and muslims and jews were here in this house together as the so called children of abraham i thought maybe we ought to discuss our father and see whether we really are his children or we in the holy koran a question is asked where you present when death visited jacob and of course you weren't court is giving lots of view of the death bed of jacob a righteous servant of god and it says when when jacob was about to die he called his sons and he said to his sons what will you serve after me what will you serve when i am no longer here and they answered saying we will serve the god of our fathers the god of abraham isaac and jacob and when they answered him in that way his soul was satisfied and he closed now many of us claim abraham some claim him from a racial standpoint you know well he was from  he was from where they're bombing today iraq his birthplace is in what is called iraq and  this man who lived over five thousand years ago was so beloved of god he was called the friend of god is wonderful for god to be your friend be a friend of god then you must model yourself after verse friend i'm coming to some now when neighbor ham was present it was no such thing as christianity yet he was the friend when abraham was here there was no such thing as judaism the friend of god and how can we become friends of god first because if we become friends of god first then we will be friends of each other isn't that something speaking of abraham god said i'm going to try you with certain commandments and  those who aspire to leadership leadership is not a game that we  play leadership is not just standing in front of the people receiving praise or money i want you to listen to me sends you you don't need a to try you with certain commands before you can be a friend of god you have to pass through certain trial ah that showed that your love for god is greater than your love for anything else anyone else your love for god is greater than your personal desires because anything that god only asks your loving and willing obedience to his will now what commands in the koran is not specific he tried him with certain commands and when abraham fulfilled them well we know from the reading of the text that abraham fulfilled the commands he passed the test of the trial so god said surely i'm going to make you a leader of men and not only am i going to make you a leader of man but  can you count the sands of the sea this is how i'm going to mount a plan you now i'm go you have to know what god revealed to the children of israel and you have to know what god revealed to jesus and what god revealed to mohammad and what god revealed to any of his servant and those servants of found mentioned in the book ok now one of the principal thing that god tested abraham with and we had tested like this to you can only be trying to buy something or someone that you love people that you don't care about can't be a trial for you every father wants to have a son and that's so sad if they don't want to have a daughter i think that's why they call you miss because i missed rather than a penis some men get very upset as though that's not your but it might not be when you feel that you have missed because when my wife gave birth to my first child i was hoping for a boy and i think every man i could be wrong i could be i could b ut i wanted to see a male child that whatever i am i could pass it on to a son but that's not good thinking in some societies on this earth when they have the female child they are very upset to the point where they will kill the female child and this is the way it was among the arabs before prophet mohammed was born they were killing their female children because only through the female do we live so why would you kill that through which you have your own life and but she had a handmade she had a handmade who was young and i guess he had sarah's approval and all of these societies where men can have more than one wine you don't get approval if you get it it's grudgingly what in those ancient societies you know that was part of the culture and there's the boy groom the father getting older you know as we get older and we look at our children you know we start doting on our children because we know that they're going to be here we hope after we are gone and we want to put as much as we can into our children particularly the sons y society and refuse education to women to the members of the jewish community who are present barbra streisand did a movie called and she had to dress like a boy in order to gain the study of the word of god that are reserved fo so in asia and in africa and in the middle east when i brought my wife and sisters from the nation of islam we were on h and we were in the government had given us you know a nice trip there and we were in mina outside of mecca but three outside of mecca and we were living under very very sparse conditions but it was lunchtime this day and all the men were in a condition and they put the circumstances now i cannot invite somebody to religion that condition there's a lot of good in judaism there's a lot of good in christianity there's a lot of good in this but the children of abraham and their way past to be rea must be thrown in the garbage pail i want you to hear me but this scripture says be home i make all things new so if he was satisfied with your religious the thing that god asked abraham to do was go up on the mountain and sacrifice your son i don't know about name but that's a tough one because when god asked you to do something that's so our of the north sea god don't try you in the way you think you should be tried he tries us in a way that sometimes makes him look like he's out of it wait a minute now god you telling me to take my son up on the mountain and plunge in is chess that's rough that's boy out as he went to plunge that dagger into his son the book says god state his hand in other words i tried you about what you wanted all your life i gave us son and i let him grow up in front of you so beautifully now i'm asking you to sacrifice him and you were willing to obey me more than your emotional attachment to your son so now because both the son and the father were in agreement with the will of god he said i'm going to make a covenant between the both of you now that covenant is spoken of in the koran i know i'm dealing with scriptural base but i'm coming home to us in a minute i have never left you at all but i'm giving you standards by which you can measure yourself let's check ourselves today ok now when he was willing to sacrifice his son and the son was willing to be sacrificed they gave us a sign of the father sacrifice the same drama was repeated five thousand years later i'm sorry three thousand years later with jesus when he was asked to submit can you pass this cup no no you've got to drink right man and he was not of the polytheist and i don't get upset because i said he was not a christian or a jew dealing with titles and names that we put on religious systems we're going to take the names and put them aside for a minute he was right man and he was no the policy is now what is right ness how do you measure something that is right you measure it against a standard not a standard put forth by the government of the united states you measure the right ness satan is always trying to make evil fair seeming to you and me so if you're so confused today close i hope i'm not hurting your feelings some of you expect the minister you know i don't know what you expect of me but my words if you really don't know me and if you are getting acquainted with me from the media you don't know me at all but when you come to meet me then judge me not by what they say judge me by what i see not by what they say of me now watch this abraham food film and in the koran it says when he completed his work on the ancient house in  asked god to accept his  work as all of us should ask god to be accepting of what we do in his name and then abraham said make us submissive and raise from our offspring and nation submissive to now we fling a song in the church that god is going to remove this with kid rice and set up a nation that what will obey submit to god not submitting to the label of your religion because you can say i'm a jew that don't make it so you can say i'm a christian that doesn't make it so you can say i'm a muslim that doesn't make it saw somebody asked me one day what is a jew and i don't know where it came from but i gave the definition to be a jew is to be in a special covenant relationship with god it is a state of being saying i'm a christian what does that mean what does it mean is that a particular form of worship what does it mean when you say i am a christian teacher who wants to be a river we just praise them so beautifully today yeah but how are you  if i can't see abraham and the prophets and the children of israel then you are perpetrating a fraud and if i can't see mohamed one complete submission to god in our lives and with saying that which we do not do and all the law hates those who say that which they do not do and that's why the muslims are looking for the man in the jews are looking for the messiah and the christians are looking for the return of christ but when he returns what will the f have realized that their shortcomings in my life when i measure my life against the stand it but when i was a child i use something strong  firm to pull up so that i could stand upright but if you have no standard in your house what do you have for the people so jesus becomes a name moses becomes a name mohammad becomes a name yah jesus was a stand that will allow the fallen to pull up but you're pulling up on a life that was in perfect obedience to god i know that this is wrong and i think reverend willie wilson and reverend merry words and for allowing me the freedom to come and speak i'm not filled with hatred i speak like this out of love because if jews christians and muslims who claim to be the children of abraham don't come back to the sta and when he came out of the east he was neither christian muslim or jew but he killed them are because god because of your if we refuse to change our lives come on now then these will be feel good sessions that remind us of our deep spirituality but after we leave here today feeling what about tonight what about tomorrow stand and look at it right and if you decide to be right as a jew and you decide to be upright is a christian not because of color and our conscience land america is in need of healing and the people of america and the world are in need of a healing but we've got to turn back to god in closing reverend willie wilson and i have joined together with reverend jackson reverend legs dorothy height bashed and i can see many religious and political and spiritual leaders calling people have been in the same room trying to do something because all of us it's not easy it's not us but now we're asked to find a comfort level with people that so i got an email from a wonderful person he said minister i can't stand with you on monday because some of  i'm comfortable in my circle they know how to say yes minister yes sir minister but when you in a circle where people aren't so quick to say hello a man and yes sir and they start challenging then your commitment is put to the test i'm going to try you with certain commands and after you fulfill them then i'm going to make you a leader of men see now here we all are today you saw  she wanted to see it happen she got some calls expose that the hidden hand that capture the government and send in america to wa he said why would you do that minister your problem is not white people your problem is your fear of them can be your problem is to it that they can threaten you
