In The Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful



FOREWORD


You perhaps wonder why we call this little book "The Supreme Wisdom." It is because most every word used in it is from the Lord of the worlds, "THE SUPREME BEING," especially where you read of the History of the Caucasian Race; the History of the Black Nation and Prophets; the Doom of America—how she will be destroyed; the Hereafter; the Future of the so-called Negroes—"Tribe of Shabazz;" what happened 66 trillion years ago, 50,000 years ago and 6,000 years ago. All of the answers are directly from the mouth of Allah (God) in the Person of Master W. F. Muhammad, to Whom all praise is due, the Great Mahdi or Messiah, as the Christians say, and He is also the Son of Man.


He alone has taught me and continues to reveal His truth to me, although to some it is unbelievable; but search your Scriptures and you will find that they verify that which you read in this book—that which Allah (God) has revealed to me. If the so-called Negroes will accept it, they will be successful and see the Hereafter. If not, they will be destroyed along with those who are destroyed.


Say: He, Allah, is One God (not three), there is no God but He and I am His Messenger and Servant.

Chapter One:


Allah, Our God


ALLAH, OUR GOD, IS ONE AND SELF-INDEPENDENT GOD


A Muslim is one who believes in One God (Allah).


It is forbidden by Allah for us to believe in or serve anyone other than Him as God.

It says in the Holy Quran, Chapter 112:1-4, "Say, He, Allah, is One. Allah is He on whom all depend. He begets not, nor is He begotten, and none is like Him."


Here Allah has clearly warned us not to set up an equal with Him, as He was ONE in the beginning from which everything had its beginning, and will be the One God from which everything will end.


Allah is also Self-Independent—having no need of anyone's help. And it's upon Him that we all depend.


It is the worst of ignorance for us to choose a God or attempt to make something as an equal to Allah. Foolish people all over the earth have been trying, for the past 6,000 years, to make an equal to Him, and are still at it—but how can anyone make an equal to such ONE (Allah) who had no beginning and for whom there is no end?


What fools we (the so-called Negroes) make of ourselves serving and worshipping gods other than the One God—Allah!


WE ARE DEPENDENT UPON ALLAH


Allah (God) is completely self-independent—having infinite knowledge and power over all—yet He is the most loving, the most merciful. But we are not self- independent; we are dependent upon Allah.

Only the foolish and disbelievers think and feel that they are self-independent and not dependent upon Allah.


ALLAH IS NOT A SPIRIT


The so-called Negroes think of God in terms of something without form (spirit or spook) and they believe that His throne is somewhere in the sky.


This is due to their ignorance of just what spirit means.


The teachings of Christianity have put God out of Man into nothing (spirit). Can you imagine God without form but yet interested in our affairs, who are the human beings? What glory would an immaterial God get out of a material world?


We also learn that a spirit is not self- independent; it is dependent upon air, water and food. Without it, the spirit can have no life. So how can a spirit be God?


WHY WE MUST ACCEPT ALLAH NOW


Some people think that they should be left completely alone to believe in whatever they want to. They say let them be "free to serve God in their own way".


But we must accept Allah NOW, because we have been WARNED that one - day all people will have to serve and worship Him (Allah) or be destroyed from among the people. And you and I live in that time.


God (Allah) would not be just to Himself and the law of justice to allow us to continue to do as we please about serving Allah and His true religion, Islam. I say that regardless of who they are who dislike 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.


WE MUST KNOW OURSELVES


Allah has declared that we (the so- called Negroes) cannot return to our own land and people until we have a thorough knowledge of our own selves.


We must first know ourselves!


THOSE WHO KNOW ALLAH LOVE, FEAR AND OBEY HIM


I know Allah and I am with Him.


You, the so-called Negroes who are not Muslim, also claim to know God (Allah), but you only lie in saying so—because those who know Allah, love, fear and obey Him, but you love, fear and obey the devils—your open enemies—and not Allah, the God of Truth, Freedom and Justice.


ALLAH WILL MAKE HIMSELF KNOWN AND FELT IN AMERICA


America is the place where Allah will make Himself known and felt. This the whole world will soon know and believe.


ALLAH'S PROMISE TO ABRAHAM


The so-called Negroes will be taken away from the white Christians—it is binding upon Allah, to fulfill His promise to Abraham that He would return them to their own people.


WEAPONS AND THE BELIEF IN ALLAH (ONE GOD)


The Christians and Jews today, as they have done in the past, take the weapons of war for their gods and put their trust in them—the work of their own hands.


Muhammad (May the peace and blessings of Allah be upon him!) took hold of the Belief in One God (Allah) and he was successful. And fourteen hundred years later, we—that is, you and I who will not set up another God with Allah— are successful.


CHASTISEMENT FROM ALLAH


The so-called Negroes will accept Islam after they learn the truth of it and a chastisement from Allah, according to the prophecies of both the Bible and Holy Quran Sharrieff.


This is mentioned, for instance, in Ezekiel, the 37th Chapter, in which the so-called Negroes are referred to as "dry bones" who only needed the word of the Truth of Allah to be able to live again (that is, to become divinely civilized and independent of others).


The symbolic "dry bones" in the vision of Ezekiel, who had lost hope of ever being anything like independent—as other people—had at first refused to listen to the word of Truth and had to be whipped into submission by the winds (wars) blowing from all parts of the earth. (It is not the right understanding of the 37th Chapter of Ezekiel to say that it refers to Israel or any of the white race. The Holy Quran teaches that it is incumbent upon Allah to give life—the Truth—to the dead.)
