Islam the True Religion (Holy Quran 61:9)

THE TRUE religion of Allah (God) and His prophets Noah, Abraham, Moses and Jesus, was Islam, and not what you called Christianity. Islam is the last of the religions; it is to overcome all religions. He, it is who sent His apostle with the guidance and the true religion, that he may make it overcome all other religions though the Polytheists may be adverse." (Holy Quran 61:9.) The truth, the white race and the Indian Hindu have always been and are now the enemies of Islam and the Muslims.

SECOND, TO give them divine protection. Third, to set them on top of civilization (This is in the Bible if you can understand. Otherwise, they would never become a free independent people under the very people that enslaved them. It is Allah's (God) doing, and we can't hinder.

Some people think that they should be left alone to believe in whatever they want to. They say let them be free to serve God in their own way. We have been warned that one day all people will have to serve and worship the One God (Allah), and one religion or be destroyed from among the people. You and I now live in that time.

God would not be just to Himself and the law of justice to allow us to continue to do as we please about serving and obeying Him and His laws, while all of his Creation bowing in obedience to Him. We can't convert the devils to Allah and His religion, Islam because nature did not give them any righteousness. Therefore, Allah limited their rule (six thousand years).

You say, be tolerant with you and I, too, do as we please about serving Him and his true religion, Islam. Regardless to who dislikes Allah and Islam, they will be the losers today. For the TIME has come that righteousness must rule, to bring about love, peace and universal brotherhood.

Islam changes the believer in every respect, into a better person and makes evil hateful to him. It manifests that which is in us whether good or evil (even that which we didn't know was in us). It is not hard for us to understand the TRUTH if we only know the TIME that we are living in. the life of this world as the Holy Quran teaches us, is nothing but sport and play.

Such world has and is attracting the members of the righteous to take part in such life, good is not wanted by this world. Turn to Allah, your God,and He will turn to you, for there is no God but Allah. The so-called Negroes think of God in terms of something without form (spirit or spook) and that his throne is somewhere in the sky.

This is due to their ignorance of just what spirit means. The teachings of Christianity has put God out of Man into nothing (spirit). Can you imagine God without form, but yet interested in our affairs who are human beings? What glory would an immaterial God get out of a material world? We learn that spirit is not self-independent; it is dependent upon air, water and food. Without it there is no life. You had better wake up. I hope to see you at the convention on the 26th of this month here in Chicago at 4130 Indiana Ave., Muhammad's Temple No. 2, 5335 Greenwood Ave., Chicago 15, Ill.
