Is THEM Guilty of Shirk? - Dr. Wesley Muhammad

the sociological enigma of the modern world! As the ancient African believers in this Divine Anthropos
took unhewn stone and near-perfectly and precisely joined and raised them, in the process raising the
greatest architectural structure of the whole ancient world, the Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad took
the an unhewn people – human rubble – and carved us near-perfectly, joining and raising us precisely, in
the process achieving the greatest collective human transformation in modern history. The Nation of
Islam under the Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad was the Great Pyramid of the modern period.
Herodotus (500 BCE) said: ―Of all the nations of the world, the Egyptians are the happiest, healthiest and
most religious.‖ How dare we dismiss the Sacred Science of the Egyptians and its God, a Sacred Science
that produced the happiest and HEALTHIEST people of the known world, as mere ‗superstition and
paganism‘. The Sacred Science and its Divine Man-God of the ancient Egyptians made them a culturally,
intellectually, and civilizationally advanced people as well as a happy and healthy people (vs. the
technologically advanced but pathologically depressed and sick modern Western world). The Supreme
Wisdom (Islam) of Master Fard Muhammad as taught by the Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad made
the so-called Negro the most disciplined, intelligent, enterprising and wealthy Black community in
America. What happened when that community turned its back on the Teachings of the Honorable
Elijah Muhammad and embraced the ‗spook god‘ of the modern Muslim world? Prof Sherman Jackson,
in his book, ‗Islam and the Blackamerican (2005) gives us the lamentable answer to this question, writing:
―perhaps the most lamentable development (due to the transition from NOI to Sunni Islam) was
the seemingly reversed effect that Islam was exerting on the pathologies and dysfunctionalities of
the urban ghetto. Beyond the explicitly religious vices, for example illicit sex or alcohol
consumption, Islam was fast losing its significance as a fortifier of indigenous constructions of
such values as manly pride, fiscal responsibility, or civic consciousness. Whereas under the
‗Islam‘ of the Honorable Elijah Muhammad, education, work, and community-uplift were
synonymous with Black Muslim, Sunni Islam was increasingly being invoked as a reason not to
work (for the infidel), not to be educated (in the infidel‘s institutions), and not to be involved in the
(infidel) community…In short, on the new, immigrant-influenced understanding of Islam,
Sunnism was in many ways becoming a cause rather than a solution to the problem of
Blackamerican Muslim dysfunctionality in America.‖
The Ancient Egyptians‘ belief in the Man-God lead them to create the greatest, scientifically most
advanced, happiest and healthiest civilization of the ancient world; The Black Arab belief in the Man-God
of Prophet Muhammad‘s Sunna enabled them to rise above their degenerate tribalism and other Jahili
ways and create the largest empire in recorded history; The so-called Negro‘s belief in the Man-God of
the Honorable Elijah Muhammad enabled him to rise above his peculiarly American Jahiliyya to become
the healthiest, wisest, and most enterprising Black community in America. What did leaving this God for
the spook god of the modern Muslim world produce for our people? It destroyed the social, economic,
intellectual, and health advancements that was gained under the regime of the Man-God. You call that
progress? I will take that functional so-called ‗pagan‘ God over your dysfunctional spook god any and
every day. Bro Mubaashir claims: ―we have too much documented human experience showing us that
nothing in creation is a G-d to be worshipped.‖ While I agree with the letter of your statement as far as it
goes, I ask you Bro Mubaashir: what is the documented history showing that God is an invisible,
incorporeal ‗no-thing‘? I missed that in my Hist 101 class. Bro Mubaashir says further:
―What Dr. Wesley extends to us, however eloquently, is an invitation to return to the worship of
creation rather than Creator and an understanding of the scripture that would lead us back into
superstition.‖
