Wa-Alaikum-Al-Salaam!

Brother Khaled in his previous reply, makes an excellent point, at least in my opinion. How can NOI followers of Minister Farrakhan be credited for taking Al-Islam to the streets? I’m just referring to those NOI followers of Minister Farrakhan.

The Final Call newspaper clearly promotes shirk when it speaks about what its followers believe on the back page. False worship of G_D and the multiple distortions of Al-Islam being taken to the streets is not the basis for survival for any Student of Imam W.D. Mohammed (RA).

True unity for true muslims is “There is no g-d but Allah & Mohammed ibn Abdullah is His Apostle!

When a man/woman takes the Shahadah, Master Fard Mohammed nor the Honorable Elijah Muhammed deserve any credit because they both were human-beings created by Allah (swt)

Perhaps, the interview of Minister Farrakhan in Muslim Journal turns out to be not such a bad idea, at least we got to know early on where he's coming from and what his apparent intentions and designs are toward the community of Imam Muhammed's students. I, too, say, thanks, but no thanks to Minister Farrakhan's overtures at this time. He can keep working on it and come back with something straight and Islamically sound.

Imam Saahir's comments are informed, direct, unapologetic, based on Qu'ran and the Sunnah of Prophet Muhammed (PBUH), the expansive teachings and leadership of Imam W. D. Muhammed. Minister Farrakhan has remained two faced since 1975. We seek unity around truth, not lies, distortions, ego trips, delusions of grandeur, that so characterize so much of what Minster Farrakhan still promotes. As for the comment by the person that says Nation of Islam followers consistently take islam to the people in the street more so than the students of Imam W.D. Muhammed, you fail to realized that much of the teachings that those members of the Nation of Islam take to the street, are the same distortions, false god worship, lies that Minister Farrakhan continues to teach and print in the newspaper, The Final Call. "Minister Farrakhan, we have leadership, we don't need yours."
I respect the members of the Nation of Islam, but, I still think that most of them are being victimizing by corrupt so-called- leaders, who knowingly distort Islam for selfish purposes.

Bismillah ir Rahman nir Rahim

As-Salaam Alaikum

I hope the members of the Nation of Islam see or hear the things the members of this Muslim community are saying and the attitude displayed.

Minister Farrakhan has sincerely tried(publicly) particularly since 1998 to find some kind of operational unity with this community. However, that same love has not been shown back in many instances mainly from the followers and Imams. We are in a time where Muslim unity is a must at least for the basis of survival.

As you say you can question the Nation regarding its teachings, I believe the same can be required of you concerning the hypocrisy of the now former members of the NOI and the Messenger. You don’t have to deny the Messenger to acknowledge Prophet Muhammad(pbuh). I love the Messenger and I love the prophet with no conflict.

I leave you as I came praying for peace

With all due respect to you Imam Mikal Saahir, I do not you feel you are in a position to judge Minister Farrakhan because only Allah (SWT) knows his heart. I believe many of us in the Imam's community have become exceedingly arrogant towards our brothers and sisters in the Nation because we believe we know more Islam than them when they have been more consistent in taking Islam to the people in the streets than we have. That's the way of the Prophet (peace be upon him). We tend to keep the word to ourselves, so who is truly practicing?

I am no way saying I agree with everything he said but I saw the interview with the Minister from another angle and I think you are overlooking how Allah (SWT) is orchestrating all of this at this moment in time.

Let's humble ourselves more.

Imam wallace deen mohammed has left the community with all that it needs to survive and to continue to acheive and excel, just practice sabr in these times, keep reading and studying the Qur'an, and applying the Imam's tafseer, you can't go wrong!!!! Put pressure on the local imams to apply the imam's teachings and keep his language alive. WE brothers and sisters who are not in the positions of leadership also are
obligated to keep the Imam's language alive.

I feel and believe that brother Imam Saahir beautifully expressed , how most of the followers of Imam W. Deen Mohammed perceive Minister Farrakhan. We have had the best leadership in Imam Mohammed. He have left us with profound insight into the religion of Al-Islam. May the peace and the blessings be upon him and all of his students.
