Hon. Elijah Muhammad - The Time And What Must Be Done (1960s)

MUHAMMAD SPEAKS...

Mr. Elijah Muhammad: Born in Georgia as a farm boy under his father who was also a farmer at that time and a Bastist Preacher, but who later joined his son after the coming of God in the Person of Master Fard Muhammad, to Whom be praised forever. In 1931, in Detroit, Michigan, Almighty God chose Elijah Muham-mad to be His Servant and Messenger to us, whom He said were the Lost-Found Members of our Nation ( the Aboriginal Black People of the Earth ) . He ( God ) had come in answer to the prophecy that He would come in the last days of the rule of this world ( the white peo-ple ) , searching for a lost people who were lost from their own native people and land for 400 years to redeem them. He taught Mr. Mu-hammad that separation was the only possible solution for us and our once slave masters' people; and that the time of judgment of this peo-ple had come for their evils done to us ( their slaves) who were robbed completely of the knowledge of self and the knowledge of the true God and the true religion of God, the knowledge of the enemies or adversaries of God, and the people of God. Mr. Muhammad—as you will learn from this record—is telling you the same thing here in this album that has been written. Mr. Muhan-road's entire base of teachings and work, as God, in the Person of Master Fard Muhammad, to Whom praises are due forever, has given to him, is for separation of the so-called Negroes with a com-plete reform of what we were taught by our slave masters. He wants a place for his people that they can call their own ( some of this earth) . He seeks no violence to accomplish this aim. He believes that it is so clear and so true that neither friend nor foe should question him about his preachings of a reformation of the so-called Negroes ( the Lost-Found Members of the Ab-original People of Earth) . He concludes by saying that, "Since we cannot get along in peace with our old slave masters' children, the only answer is separation, and the slave masters' children are obligated to give their father's servitude slaves' children a good send-off ( something to go for self) " Mr. Muhammad further offers the present slave masters' children a chance to prove themselves to be honest in what they claim ( that the so-called Negroes are free) without offering him some earth out of the 50 states that the government owns.
