OVER DEZE AFLEVERING
Wednesday Evening Ministry Class, ministered by Brother Minister Jason Fareed.
"You, who have been here in America for four hundred years, have never been taught a true knowledge of self, God, and His religion, Islam. As long as you are without such essential knowledge, which is the key of salvation, freedom, justice, and equality, you are not free." The Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad opens Chapter 8 with that charge, and this class takes it paragraph by paragraph.
We open on the most important question a person can ask, "Who is God?", and on the Supreme Wisdom Lesson that answers it: there is not a mystery God. We take the Messenger's words as he wrote them and follow where they go. Why we were never taught who we are. Who kept the knowledge from our ears, and why. What the Messenger means by essential knowledge, and by a thorough knowledge of our own history. When the truth arrived, and Who came to make it manifest. Why the hardest problem is not getting the truth to our people but getting them to believe it after it is in their ears. What "Islam, the Religion of Peace" has to do with what Jesus actually taught. And the Messenger's closing word on the religion that was put on us with Jesus' name attached, and what it will take to come out of it.
The class reads the whole chapter aloud in the Messenger's exact words, opens the key words, and sets the Bible and the Holy Qur'an beside the teaching so you can see the agreement for yourself.
Study deeper between classes. Every book and every recorded lecture of the Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad is at www.templeofislam.com. Read the chapter again there, hear the Messenger in his own voice, and bring your questions back to class. Send every guest and every seeker to the online Temple. The teaching belongs to all of us and it costs nothing.
As-Salaam-Alaikum.
