The Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad taught us that Prophet
Muhammad died from a broken heart at the age of 62! years. He
further told us that Muhammad learned in the course of his Mission that he was unable to convert all of his people of the Arab nation that were settled and dispersed throughout the Near or Middle East. Particularly, this was true in Arabia. The Prophet foretold that after three generations or centuries from him, the people would no longer be of him and would go astray from the Straight Path of Islam. Reformers would be raised in every century to help give guidance to the people up to the time of the Coming of the Great Mahdi. These prophecies have been fulfilled from the time of the 10th and 11th centuries, beginning with the Crusades and the constant wars of European states in their campaign to establish Christian dominance over the world, and were particularly troubled by Islams Presence in the world from the 7th century, A.D. This clash of civilizations between the Cross and the Crescent continues to this very hour. Where did the Arab originate as a branch of the Caucasian race of Semitic origin? Where did the Jewish people come from and what is their Semitic origin? And what happened to the Aboriginal populations in the area of our world before the coming of the immigrant Arabs and Jews? According to the Divine Teachings of the Honorable Elijah Muhammad, when the White man left the island of Patmos or Pelan, they entered the Arabian Peninsula and started making trouble among the Indigenous people of the land. As we may recall from an earlier article, we spoke about how many of the children were so frightened at their strange, unalike appearance, that they stoned many of them on their doorsteps. Others were hidden away in some of their households, while others escaped into the hills of Central Asia or Eurasia and lived among the tribes and People of the Steppes and among the northern tribes that were already established there. Another larger group were exiled into the caves and hillsides of Western Europe where they were left without Divine guidance for 2,000 years and became savage until our scientists raised Moses to teach them civilization and how to master the original people through deception and falsehood. They had a very difficult time surviving this period of their history, as the Honorable Elijah Muhammad has pointed out to us the Caucasians True History as taught directly from the Great Mahdi, Master W. F. Muhammad. We read much of this history in the 18th Surah of the Holy Quran entitled, Al-Kahf: The Cave. In our Nations Book of Supreme Wisdom Lessons, we are given a reference to yet another Cave by Master Fard Muhammad entitled, The Book of Cave out of Darkness, which describes the state of Michigan, its weight, and all things pertaining thereof, including an earlier mention of the City of Detroit. In the early days of Islam, Detroit is referred to in our history as Mecca, and Chicago as the City of Medina. Between these two cities, the flight of both Master Fard Muhammad and the Honorable Elijah Muhammad took place under severe persecution of our open enemies, while a New Era was proclaimed exactly following in the prophetic footsteps of Prophet Muhammad over 1,400 years ago during the Hijrah or Flight of Prophet Muhammad (May the peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) took place. The Prophet, under severe persecution, fled from the Holy City of Mecca to Medina in Arabia in 622 A.D. This flight marked the turning point in the Era of Islam and a New Calendar was introduced based upon these events that transpired in the Life of Prophet Muhammad. It was in a Cave called Hira, some three miles distance from Mecca in which the Prophet and his sole companion, Abu Bakr, escaped and hid for three days while the Quraish Army were seeking to take his life. From this chronology of events, Islam had its starting point and the Arab Lunar Calendar was introduced. So, too, in our Nation of Islams mathematical chronology of events, we began our birth as in a Cave in the Western Hemisphere, in the Wilderness of North America where Islam came to birth in a period of gross darkness and ignorance, among an unlettered or illiterate people considered by the builders of this world as rejected and despised and as being no people at all. We were persecuted by our open enemies and former slave masters, since the time of slavery to the present moment of time. Yet, we continue to thrive and survive into the 21st century, gradually coming out of the Cave of Darkness and Ignorance on this Western horizon, giving birth to a new Era or Dispensation of Islam regardless to the threatening death plots of the cavemans society and world. And We send not messengers but as givers of good news and warning, and those who disbelieve contend with falsehood to weaken thereby the Truth, and they take My messages and the warning for a mockery.Holy Quran, Surah 18, verse 56
The first use of the word cave man or cavy to describe the type of White mans society in Europe and in America was given to us to study in a series of problems appearing in the Problem Book, written by Master W. F. Muhammad. Beginning with Problem Number 10, we are presented with the term Cavemans Lake and the term cavy living near Lake Erie. These terms describe the loathsome condition in which the Master found our Lost-Found people in America subjected to our former slave masters. In Problem Number 9, more details of the City of Detroits population is given and the types of foods eaten by our people which includes the consumption of the poison animal, hog, on a daily basis and the near 100 percent destruction of our beauty appearance from eating this poisonous animal. Finally, The Book of Cave Out of Darkness is introduced to us within the confines of measuring the weight and contents of population and livestock in the whole state of Michigan near this Cavemans Lake. Looking up the word cave, caveman and cave dweller, a very interesting picture emerges describing the White mans type of civilization, its clandestine nature and his love for cave-like dwellings and the type of lifestyle he lives and imposes on others. A cave is described as being hollowa natural underground chamber for storage (which is usually dark and secluded). A caveman is described as a cave dweller, especially being of the Stone Age. A second meaning is given as a man who acts in a rough or crude manner, and a cave dweller is a prehistoric man that dwells in a cave. A cave is also described as a cavern, which is hollow, of a large or indefinite extent. No better words could have been chosen by our Saviour to describe the isolated people, and society, and location of the present White Race from Europe and America than a cave and its people as cave dwellers, whose natural instincts are barbaric, crude, and uncivilized. The poison animal, the hog, is their constant companion, along with the dog, who guarded their cave-like dwellings in Europe before they were cleaned up and civilized by our scientists under the Prophet Moses. He established for them the Mosaic Law, particularly concerning what foods to eat and what foods to stay away from. These are the same restrictions on foods and their preparation called Kosher by the Orthodox Jews that the Muslims are also able to eat. The Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad used to buy his meats and poultry, chicken and lamb from Jewish markets, which he also practiced in Mexico when he established his final Residence. There are many practices of the Jewish Faith which are similar to our own that would never classify us as being anti-Semitic. The hog is a grafted animal from the rat, the cat, and the dog, and was made by our scientists, according to the Divine Teachings of the Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad, to clean up the filth in the caves and hillsides of Europe, and was made for medical purposes and never made as a food for human consumption. This is a barbaric practice handed down by heathens and the uncivilized. Yet, it is this filthy animal, forbidden to eat by God that is wrongly given to us as food to eat from the White Race and their exploitive policies. Most of them eat this forbidden food with the exclusion of the wise from among them in the Medical Profession, Moslem Sons and the Jews. It is these truths that we can discuss and agree upon to make a more healthy and beautiful people and society. The Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad taught us that there are two main branches of the White Race. The one branch was exiled into what we know today as Western Europe, and the other branch fled or escaped from Arabia into the hills of the Steppe nations located in Central Asia or Eurasia and Nordic countries near the arctic circle. This area begins in what we call Turkey, or ancient Anatolia, running through a vast region of various tribe-like nomadic people that make up the countries going further East into Armenia, Azerbijan, Bokhara, The Black Sea and Caspian Sea area into the Caucasus Mountains. These tribes make up the Sythians, Celtic, Teutonic and Slavic nations, Germanic tribes, Bretons, Scottish, and Welsh people of Ireland, which includes the Nordic realms of Scandinavia, homeland of the Vikings and Danes of Norway, Sweden, Iceland and Greenland. These barbaric tribes co- mingled with the original people of those areas and hid their true identity so they would not be made known. We are given their description in the 18th Surah of the Holy Quran, entitled, The Cave,Al-Kahf. Or thinkest thou that the companions of the Cave and the Inscription were of Our Wonderful Signs? When the youths sought refuge in the Cave, they said: Our Lord grant us mercy from Thyself and provide for us a right course in our affair. So we prevented them from hearing in the Cave for a number of years, Then we raised them up that we might know which of the two parties was best able to calculate the Time for which they remained. (Surah 18, verses 9-12) He said: My Lord, respite me to the day that they are raised. He said: Surely thou art of the respited ones. Till the day of the time made known. He said: Then, by Thy Might! I will surely lead them all astray, Except Thy servants from among them, the purified ones. Holy Quran, Surah 38, verses 79-83 To be continued. For the last several weeks, we have taken up the subject, The Book of Cave Out of Darkness, referring to the history of the White Race and their expansion from Europe to dominate the entire world. We reviewed the hidden history of this people from their being made on the island of Pelan or Patmos, and their return to Arabia where they made mischief among the aboriginal people. We spoke of their exile from the Arabian Peninsula into the caves and hillsides of Europe and their expansion into the Northern Hemisphere from the Arctic Circle to the British Isles and ultimately reaching the Western Hemisphere. In America, they colonized and established their cave-like society, which means secretive and secluded. This subject was studied from the perspective of our Supreme Wisdom Teachings from Master W. F. Muhammad, the Founder of the Nation of Islam in America. We have also studied this subject from the perspective of the 18th Surah of the Holy Quran, The Cave. In 1999, while visiting London, England, with a small group of Laborers from the Nation of Islam, hosted by Student Minister Hilliary Muhammad, I asked to visit Guildhall in London, where the huge effigies of Gog and Magog are erected. These mammoth effigies represent the ancestors of the Anglo-Saxon race rooted in barbaric tribes of the Northern Hemisphere who roamed through that area bordering the Black Sea, the Caspian Sea, and the Caucasus Mountains. Generally, these tribes are identified with the Scythians that are related to Teutonic and Celtic Tribes that fought against their neighbors and eventually clashed with the Romans. These barbaric tribes conquered and ruled along with Germanic Tribes of the whole Northern Hemisphere. According to the commentary on the identity of the Gog and Magog Tribes, by Maulana Muhammad Ali, they are the fierce people of European origins who have spread and dispersed themselves throughout their northern homeland eventually conquering and dominating the entire world. The description of this people is given in our Supreme Wisdom Lessons as cavys or cave dwellers. This is the most accurate account of their true history which they have tried to conceal. This subject, The Book of Cave Out of Darkness, reveals their savage nature and brute force that they used to conquer all other people of our planet. Their existence in a cave of darkness also implies a covering of ignorance. It is in this cave mans society where the Master traveled under a disguise to find his Lost and Found people of the Nation of Islam and rescue them from the society of the Cave Dwellers. We have previously presented maps showing the regions of the earth which represent their homelands from Western Europe to the extent of the Caucasus Mountains and Cold Arctic regions. Taking this subject into modern America, we are going to refer to yet another Problem dealing with the people of the caves and those whom they have captured revealing the Divine Help that has come to us today. In the tenth problem of the Problem Book, we read the following words: The uncle of Mr. W. D. Fard lived near this lake (referring to Lake Erie), in the city of Detroit, therefore, he uses the water from this Cave Mans Lake for all household purposes. A certain cavy told him not to use too much water, if you can help it. So he only used forty gallons per day, but the second uncle of Mr. W. D. Fard, who has civilized the cavy when he used to live on the tree-top and dug holes along the hillside for nearly two thousand yearsthe exact time will be four thousand B.C. So this same cavy cannot fool the second uncle of Mr. W. D. Fard. And now he is using two hundred gallons of water per day. How long will it take the first and second uncle to empty the lake using water at the above rate? One cubic foot of water weighs sixty-two and one half pounds. In the first part of this Problem Number 10, we are given the measurement of Lake Erie, its length and its depth. Could the use of the water represent the use of knowledge and wisdom to awaken our dead people? We seem to get a hint that the Cave mans civilization or wisdom is limited and is being interfered with by the second uncle of W.D. Fard with increased capacity to learn, and he is able to use two hundred gallons instead of forty. In reality, each one of us who is awakened to the profound Divine Teachings of the Honorable Elijah Muhammad, is able to identify our captors and use the proper language to identify our dilemma which goes back to the time of Moses trying to civilize the devil or cavy, four thousand years ago in the caves and hillsides of Europe. Is this a hint at the Divine Work of the Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad and His Great Helper, the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan, who are using a higher percentage of the Supreme Wisdom Teachings to awaken our dead nation, and at the same time this use of wisdom is awakening the cave mans civilization into higher stages of consciousness? Could this Problem Number 10 represent the ongoing efforts of the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan as the Great Helper of the Honorable Elijah Muhammad in making His Great Commission known? Is the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan using the Supreme Wisdom in getting us safely across the Lake to the other side while giving credit to no one but Almighty God, Allah, Himself? As we move in the direction of Tuskegee, Alabama, to celebrate the Holy Day of Atonement and the 18th Anniversary of the Million Man March, consider this study of the Problem Book and the Cave Mans civilization, and the 18th Surah of the Holy Quran that is unveiling the true history of our adversaries whose primitive emotions and natural temperament is likened to that of a beast-like mentality. Do we not have a Divine Right before God to rise above the savagery and violence that is breaking out in this land and in this government to teach civilization and moral reform to the uncivilized, restoring peace, and order, and justice to America following its reign of terror? And they are brought before thy Lord in ranks. Now certainly you have come to Us as We created you at first. Nay, you thought that We had not made an appointment for you. And the book is placed, and thou seest the guilty fearing for what is in it, and they say: O woe to us! what a book is this! It leaves out neither a small thing nor a great one, but numbers them (all), and they find what they did confronting them. And thy Lord wrongs not anyone. Holy Quran, Surah 18, verses 48-49 To be continued. From the beginning of Surah 18, Al-Kahf: The Cave, we are given a warning to those who set up partners with Allah (God). The opening verses are particularly addressed to those who say that Allah has taken to Himself a sonThey have no knowledge of it, nor had their fathers. Grievous is the word that comes out of their mouths. They speak nothing but a lie. Then maybe thou wilt kill thyself with grief, sorrowing after them, if they believe not in this Announcement. (Surah 18, verses 5-6) According to the commentary on these verses as rendered by Maulana Muhammad Ali in his translation of the Holy Quran, he refers us to a certain Hadith in which the Prophet speaks to the Believers concerning the importance of reciting these opening verses numbering ten as a Divine Protection from Allah against the unjust disposition and presence of the Anti-Christ or Dajjal when he appears in the world in the latter days. Dajjal signifi es one who conceals the truth with falsehood and is one who is a liar and a great Deceiver. The most prominent feature of the Christian religion is the practice in its present form, to make Jesus of 2,000 years ago, the son of God in open opposition to the belief in the Oneness of God and His Divine Worship. It is the theology of the Christian religion that has corrupted the image of Jesus turning him into a god beside Allah, and has likewise corrupted the image of His Mother, Mary, as part of the Godhead. This corruption of the Godhead into a gross polytheistic form is revealed in an earlier Surah of the Holy Quran where God questions the Messengers about their teachings to the people, and ultimately questions the Prophet Jesus about his being taken for worship, along with his mother, as partners with Allah. Say: O people of the Book exaggerate not in the matter of your religion unjustly, and follow not the low desires of people who went astray before and lead many astray, and went astray from the right path. (Surah 5, verse 77) Finally in verses 116 and 117, Allah is speaking with Jesus about this false doctrine introduced by the Christian theologians after his deathAnd when Allah will say: O Jesus, son of Mary, didst thou say to men, Take me and my mother for two gods besides Allah? He will say, Glory be to thee! It was not for me to say what I had no right to (say). If I had said it, Thou wouldst indeed have known it. Thou knowest what is in my mind, and I know not what is in Thy mind. Surely Thou art the great Knower of the unseen. (Surah 5, verses 116-117) I wrote in one of my recent articles that the Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad taught us that Muhammad had died from a broken heart. In the 6th verse of Surah 18, we are given proof of the Prophets great anxiety and sorrow over the inclination of his people towards polytheism and would not accept this Announcement that God is One and Indivisible and has no partners. The worst form of idolatry is taking a Servant of God, as in the case of Jesus to be worshiped besides Allah. This grieved the Prophet so much, that it led to his demise. He could not convert all his people at large in the principle belief in the Oneness of God; and this spiritual condition hurt his heart. We will note that this subject of Christianity is taken up in depth in the opening verses of Surah 18 as a warning against idolatry and the misrepresentation of the nature of the Supreme Being whose Proper Name is Allah. The word Kahf signifies a cave, as well as a place of refuge and Raqim means an Inscription or a Tablet with a writing on it. Maulana Muhammad Ali offers an interpretation of the cave as referring to that peculiar aspect of Christianity which finds manifestation in its institution of monkery, which it assumed soon after its birth. And the term Inscription as advertisement which colored Christianitys later development and business operations for material gain and aggrandizement. Thus, the people or dwellers of the cave, in whatever meaning we accept, were cut off for a period of time from direct communication with the outside world lasting hundreds of years. As for the location of the cave, it is described as being in the Northern Hemisphere. This place is not only true of England or Great Britain and its northern Isles, but describes the whole of Europe being in a Cave of darkness. According to the Divine Teachings of the Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad, the greatest light is shown on this subject, referring to the White mans history and his confinement to the caves and hillsides of Europe where he lived in a savage condition for 2,000 years. Moses was sent to them to teach them civilization and how to make a home for themselves, and how to stand upright, which ultimately released them from their cave-like dwellings and led them to the road of modernization. We relate to thee their story with truth. Surely they were youths who believed in their Lord and We increased them in guidance. And We strengthened their hearts when they stood up and said: Our Lord is the Lord of the heavens and the earth; we call upon no god besides Him, for then indeed we should utter an enormity. These our people have taken gods beside Him. Why do they not bring clear authority for them? Who is then more unjust than he who forges a lie against Allah? (Surah 18, verses 13-15) According to the Divine Teachings of the Honorable Elijah Muhammad, the Jewish members of the Caucasian race were the first to leave the cave by following Moses and his teachings and are always one step ahead of their brethren in every field of endeavor. They lead in the world of finance, and banking, business and politics, and in entertainment and social media. In Surah 5, verse 82, we read: Thou wilt certainly find the most violent of people in enmity against the believers to be the Jews and the idolators; and thou wilt find the nearest in friendship to the believers to be those who say, we are Christians. That is because there are priests and monks among them and because they are not proud. As we continue this story of the cave dwellers, and their civilization spreading in Europe and expanding into the Western Hemisphere, we can visualize the map or geography of the Northern Hemisphere to study their expansion, from Nordic lands into Canada, Alaska, Quebec, through the St. Lawrence seaway entering the Great Lakes and the importance of the city of Detroit, Michigan; Chicago, Illinois; Cleveland, Ohio, on Lake Erie and Lake Huron, and Lake Superior, all touching on this northeast corner of the United States of America, where we, the Lost-Found Nation of Islam was established and founded upon the Coming of the Great Mahdi, Master Fard Muhammad, and His raising of the Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad as the Messiah, and the Exalted Christ. And they remained in their cave three hundred years, and they add nine. Say: Allah knows best how long they remained. His is the unseen of the heavens and the earth. How clear His sight and His hearing! There is no guardian for them beside Him, and He associates none in His judgment. And recite that which has been revealed to thee of the Book of thy Lord. There is none who can alter His words. And thou wilt fi nd no refuge beside Him. Holy Quran, Surah 18, verses 25-27
