WE BELIEVE that Allah (God) appeared in the Person of Master W. Fard Muhammad, July, 1930; the long-awaited “Messiah” of the Christians and the “Mahdi” of the Muslims. We believe further and lastly that Allah is God and besides HIM there is no god and He will bring about a universal government of peace wherein we all can live in peace together." We Don’t look for a “Mystery God” to drop down out t
he sky. The Book of Malachi, meaning, “My Messenger,” which is the last book of your Bible, tells us who we should be looking for: “Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the Lord.” I will send you who? In what chapter does his name appear? The 4th Chapter, verses 4-6. According to the account in the Bible, when Moses gets to where he perceived the light, he sees a bush that is burning. According to the Holy Qur’an and Bible, he did not see a person, but he heard a voice talking out of a light. The New Testament, which is called a testament of love, talks about God putting on flesh and coming among the people. According to the Islamic tradition, this belief is foreign, strange and not true. But Christians believe that Allah (God) put on flesh and came among human beings to suffer in order to redeem a people and a world that was lost under the grip of Satan. In the Book of John, it reads, “In the beginning was the word and the word was God.” The Holy Qur’an has many names, but every attribute of the Holy Qur’an is the highest manifestation of the characteristics of Allah (God). He is The Mighty, The Wise, The Best Knower, The Light, The Beneficent and The Merciful. Since man is what he eats, if you feed from the Revealed Word of God, and live the Word of God, then God lives in you. The Holy Qur’an mentions two men—Messiah and Mahdi. Both are men, but the Messiah is going to be taught by God the Wisdom and the Book—the Torah and the Gospel. He is going to raise the dead to life. He is going to determine the form of a bird out of clay and breathe into it, and it will become a bird by His Permission, yet He is a human being. In that human being will be the kind of power that would make that human being a manifestation of the Presence of God. According to all of the traditions, Mahdi and Messiah will be together. According to the words of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), the Mahdi is a very powerful human being. He said that, “The Mahdi would come out of the family of Muhammad and He would break the cross and kill the swine. He would set down every tyrant and set justice in the earth. This does not refer to Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) of 1,400 years ago. This does not refer to Jesus of 2,000 years ago. These men brought a word, but they never set justice in the earth and they never took down the tyrants. Jesus prophesied of One coming after him. Even though Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) brought the Holy Qur’an, which is a law, he was not a man like unto Moses. Black people do not want to think much of ourselves, because we do not want to believe that we would be loved enough that we would receive a visit from Allah (God) in a human being. I want to introduce you to a human being who loved us. I want to introduce you to a man who I never personally met, but I am thoroughly convinced of His matchless love for us......The Honorable Elijah Muhammad said that Master Fard Muhammad came to us from the Holy City of Mecca. I cannot prove it or disprove it. All I can say is that the Believers believe in what Allah (God) revealed to His servant. That is my foundation. I never saw Master Fard Muhammad, but I saw a witness of His Presence in the Honorable Elijah Muhammad
