In The Name of Allah, The Beneficent, The Merciful.
Greetings to you, I am Minister Louis Farrakhan, National Representative of the Honorable Elijah Muhammad, that Great Preacher of Freedom, Justice and Equality to the Black man and woman of America and the Western hemisphere, and to the Aboriginal People of the Earth—the Eternal Leader of The Nation of Islam, and a Warner to the government and people of the United States of America, and a Warner to the nations of the Earth.
Our subject today on the 51st Edition of “The Time and What Must Be Done” is: “‘The Wheel’—That Great Mother Plane: Allah’s (God’s) Calling Card.” We are nearing the end of our year-long series of “The Time and What Must Be Done,” and as I have said in previous broadcasts, we would take up the subject of “The Wheel.” I want to conclude these broadcasts with “The Wheel”:
1. The importance of The Wheel
2. The relevance of The Wheel
3. And what that Wheel represents in terms of The Attributes of Allah (God).
In fact, every Attribute that is given to the One True God that is found in the Holy Qur’an is manifested in The Wheel—its power; its potential. Everything about it says that God is Present, now, in the world.
I believe that The Two that back me are pushing me to make known The Presence of The Two that are on The Wheel, 1.) The Great Mahdi, Master Fard Muhammad and 2.) The Messiah, the Honorable Elijah Muhammad: “Who” They are and “why” our representation of Them is so important, that the world’s leaders; the pope—all religious leaders, and political leaders, understand the seriousness of the presence of The Wheel and its work.
This Wheel is so magnificent … This Wheel is The Manifestation of The Presence of God! The Wheel is like His “calling card”; in words, the presence of The Wheel says to the world: “I want to introduce you to My Presence, and to Who I Am. Take My ‘Calling Card’—study it! Look at it carefully…”—and it will bear witness to the scripture of the Book of Exodus, Chapter 3, verse 14. When Moses asked God, “Who should I tell them sent me?” and God said tell them: “I Am That I Am,” that means “I Am”: “I am present. I exist. I have come.”
***
And so, Allah (God)—the “Son of Man”—shows up in a “Wheel”; and He comes down from The Wheel, and He finds Elijah. And He teaches Elijah (and oh God, did He teach that man!), and He makes Elijah Muhammad into Himself. Even in the 1940s, Minister Lucius Bey (who was the “dean” of the Honorable Elijah Muhammad’s ministers; but at one time, was a minister of “The Seventh Day Adventists” faith): He was sitting with the Honorable Elijah Muhammad, and he asked him: “How do you know that The Man you met is ‘God Almighty’ in Person?” And the Honorable Elijah Muhammad answered, saying: “Because He made me all up into Himself.”
The Honorable Elijah Muhammad met with, and was taught by, The Great Mahdi, Master Fard Muhammad, Who he said is “The Manifestation of The Presence of God in the world.”
Do Americans believe in the existence of ‘UFOs’, government cover-ups?
According to Elijah Muhammad’s earliest writings, he said: “Master Fard Muhammad came to us from the Holy City of Mecca in Arabia. He pointed out to me a dreadful looking Plane a half-a-mile by a half-a-mile. It was made after the universe, of spheres: ‘wheels within wheels’.” Although many had mocked and ridiculed this Teaching, in America today many are bearing witness to what the Honorable Elijah Muhammad has taught us.
In 2012, ABC News blog writer Alon Harish (“UFOs Exist, Say 36 Percent in National Geographic Survey,” June 27, 2012), U.S. News blog writer Seth Cline (“Most Americans Believe Government Keeps UFO Secrets, Survey Finds: Survey for National Geographic finds extraterrestrial visits not that crazy an idea to most Americans,” June 28, 2012), and Educating Humanity, an organization which tracks UFO cases (“The Full Results of the National Geographic Poll On UFOs/Aliens,” June 29, 2012), all reported that: “Thirty-six percent of Americans, about 80 million people, believe UFOs exist, and a tenth (of our population, 40 million people) believe they have spotted (or have seen) one.” These reports are based upon a National Geographic Channel poll conducted in 2012 about “UFOs” (Unidentified Flying Objects), titled “Aliens Among Us” (in advance of airing the channel’s eight-part series Chasing UFOs - natgeotv.com/chasingufos). The poll also showed that 48 percent of Americans are “not sure” about the existence of UFOs, and 79 percent believe there is a “government cover-up” about UFOs.
Scholars and scientists of many disciplines, military people, highly placed individuals in many areas of science; people of every stripe, from presidents of countries, and prime ministers, to common people, have seen these Wheels—and have tried to bring it to the attention of the government of the United States of America to release what our government has said is “Above Top Secret.”
Over 28 Million Africans have been enslaved in the Muslim world during the past 14 centuries While much has been written concerning the Transatlantic slave trade, surprisingly little attention has been given to the Islamic slave trade across the Sahara, the Red Sea and the Indian Ocean.
While the European involvement in the Transatlantic slave trade to the Americas lasted for just over three centuries, the Arab involvement in the slave trade has lasted fourteen centuries, and in some parts of the Muslim world is still continuing to this day. A comparison of the Muslim slave trade to the American slave trade reveals some interesting contrasts.
While two out of every three slaves shipped across the Atlantic were men, the proportions were reversed in the Muslim slave trade.
Two women for every man were enslaved by the Muslims.
While the mortality rate for slaves being transported across the Atlantic was as high as 10%, the percentage of slaves dying in transit in the Transsahara and East African slave trade was between 80 and 90%!
While almost all the slaves shipped across the Atlantic were for agricultural work, most of the slaves destined for the Muslim Middle East were for sexual exploitation as concubines, in harems, and for military service.
While many children were born to slaves in the Americas, and millions of their descendants are citizens in Brazil and the USA to this day, very few descendants of the slaves that ended up in the Middle East survive.
MUSLIM ARABS CASTERATED MOST BLACK MALE SLAVES
WHY DID ARAB MUSLIMS CASTERATE MALE BLACK SLAVES & USE BLACK WOMEN AS BROOD MARES?
Greek philosopher Aristotle (384 - 322 BC) made major contributions to biological and reproductive theory that would hold sway until the Renaissance period. For instance, his notion that conception originates solely from male seed, implanted into an otherwise dormant female body dominated reproductive discourse for centuries after his death.
More than 2,000 years after Aristotle asserted that men were the real reproductive powerhouses, Dr. Martin Berry finally figured out that it takes two to make a thing go right. At last disproving the ancient Greek philosopher, Berry established that human conception occurs when sperm fertilizes an egg.
While most slaves who went to the Americas could marry and have families, most of the male slaves destined for the Middle East were castrated, and most of the children born to the women were killed at birth.
It is estimated that possibly as many as 11 million Africans were transported across the Atlantic (95% of which went to South and Central America, mainly to Portuguese, Spanish and French possessions. Only 5% of the slaves went to the United States).

While Christian Reformers spearheaded the antislavery abolitionist movements in Europe and North America, and Great Britain mobilized her Navy, throughout most of the 19th Century, to intercept slave ships and set the captives free, there was no comparable opposition to slavery within the Muslim world.
Even after Britain outlawed the slave trade in 1807 and Europe abolished the slave trade in 1815, Muslim slave traders enslaved a further 2 million Africans. This despite vigorous British Naval activity and military intervention to limit the Muslim slave trade.
By some calculations the number of victims of the 14 centuries of Muslim slave trade could exceed 180 million. Nearly 100 years after President Abraham Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation in America, and 130 years after all slaves within the British Empire were set free by parliamentary decree, Saudi Arabia and Yemen, in 1962, and Mauritania in 1980, begrudgingly removed legalized slavery from their statute books.
And this only after international pressure was brought to bear. Today numerous international organizations document that slavery still continues in some Muslim countries.
Reports on slavery in Sudan, Mauritania for instance needs looking into. Recently, a former slave from the Nuba Mountains of Sudan, Mende Nazer, had her autobiography: "Slave: My True Story" published. Mende Nazer was an alleged slave in Sudan. She was made famous by her transfer to England to serve a diplomatic family.
Mende Nazer reports that she was abducted and sold into slavery in Sudan when she was a child of twelve or thirteen (she doesn't know when she was born). She lived in a village of the Karko Nuba in the Nuba mountains of Sudan with her family. The village was attacked one night. Mende fled with her family into the mountains.
She became separated from her family, and when a man caught her and told her he would protect her, she believed him. She had already seen people killed in front of her. The man told her to stay with a group of children.
Later, the raiders came and took all of the children to the town of Dilling, there the children were taken by families to serve as servants.
Mende also reports that she was taken by a woman from Khartoum whom she served for six or seven years. She had to do all the hard work of the household, and sleep on the floor of the garden shed.
She was never paid anything for her labor, and was frequently beaten. She wanted to leave, but had no money and nowhere to go, and was afraid to go to the police. The woman of the house said that she owned Mende, and called Mende her 'Abda', or slave.
Eventually Mende was sent to London to work as a domestic. After several months Mende escaped and claimed asylum. At first, the Home Office rejected her claim in October 2002. In November, the Home Office overturned its decision and granted Mende asylum.

MUHAMMAD’S ALI’S IRISH ANCESTRY
by Dick Eastman
Despite America’s melting pot of nationalities, I don’t often hear of Irish ancestry when reading about Black American genealogy. However, history teaches us that many American Blacks have white, Indian, or other ancestry. Muhammad Ali’s ancestry includes Irish immigrants and freed blacks.
An 1855 land survey of Ennis, a town in county Clare, Ireland, contains a reference to John Grady, who was renting a house in Turnpike Road in the center of the town. His rent payment was fifteen shillings a month. A few years later, his son Abe Grady immigrated to the United States.
Also, around the year 1855, a man and a woman who were both freed slaves, originally from Liberia, purchased land in or around Duck Lick Creek, Logan, Kentucky. The two married, raised a family, and farmed the land. These free blacks went by the name, Morehead, the name of white slave owners of the area.
Odessa Grady Clay, Cassius Clay's mother, was the great-granddaughter of the freed slave Tom Morehead and of John Grady of Ennis, whose son Abe had emigrated from Ireland to the United States. She named her son Cassius in honor of a famous Kentucky abolitionist of that time. When he changed his name to Muhammad Ali in 1964, the famous boxer remarked,
"Why should I keep my white slave-master's name visible and my black ancestors invisible, unknown, unhonored?"
