DISCUSSION
PART I
The Holy Qur'an contains an
account of a plan by the Jews to
put Jesus to death. But even as
the Jews planned, Allah made a
plan which frustrated their
plans.
"And for their saying: We have
killed the Messiah, Jesus son of
Mary, the Messenger of Allah,
and they killed him not, nor did
they cause his death on the
cross, but he was made to appear
to them as such. And certainly
those who differ therein are in
doubt about it, but only follow
conjecture, and they killed him
not for certain.
"Nay, Allah exalted him in His
presence. And Allah is ever
Mighty, Wise." Holy Qur'an
4:157, 158
It is important that we
understand the word "plan" in
the context of the statement,
"And the Jews planned...". The
Arabic word "makara" signifies
something underhanded (See
Glossary).
The Jews did what they did, not
openly, but in secret. This is
also demonstrated in the
biblical account:
"Then said Pilate unto them,
Take ye him and judge him
according to your law. The Jews
therefore said unto him, 'It is
not lawful for us to put any man
to death."
Thus, not only did they plan the
murder of Jesus, but they set up
Pontius Pilate, the Roman
Governor, as a front for their
plan that they might escape
detection.
Compare the relationship between
Pontius Pilate and the Jews in
the New Testament, to the
relationship between the
Executive Branch (President and
Staff) of the U.S. Government
and the Jews today.
The term "Jew" is not
exclusively limited to
describing a people who call
themselves "Jews". This term
also describes a certain
orientation of the mind and
spirit. While the person may not
be a "Jew" in the religious
sense, a person may be that by
definition of his or her
thinking and planned action (s)
against the Apostle of God.

PART II
When one feels that one has the
exclusive right to something,
because that exclusivity feeds
the ego and gives that person a
sense of being more important
than others, then that person
will oppose anyone who may cause
him or her to lose that position
of exclusivity. The length to
which one will go to protect a
position of exclusivity depends
upon the degree to which the ego
is dependent upon that position.
The length can extend to murder.
The Jews, during the time of
Jesus, felt that spirit of
exclusivity as the "chosen of
God". Jesus represented the
ultimate threat to their
exclusivity both in this
condemnation of them by
identifying them as the children
of Satan and his declaration
that God was his Father.
"You are of your Father the
devil, and the lusts of your
father you will do. He was a
murderer from the beginning, and
abode not in the Truth, because
there is no Truth in him. When
he speaks a lie, he speaks of
his own, for he is a liar and
the Father of it." John 8:44
"But Jesus- answered them, My
Father worketh hitherto, and I
work. Therefore, the Jews sought
the more to kill him, because he
not only had broken the sabbath,
but said also that God was his
Father, making himself equal
with God." John 5:17,18
At the root of the lies and
murder plots against Jesus,
Paul, Peter, Muhammad, was Envy.
Envy arose in the hearts of the
political and spiritual
leadership because one was
coming to replace their rule;
one more favoured in the sight
of Allah (God); one more
pleasing and acceptable in the
public eye.
When one is an Envier, he or she
always sees oneself as more
worthy of the benefit or favour
than the person or persons to
whom the benefit or favour has
been given. The hatred that the
Envier feels, knowingly or
unknowingly, extends to the
Giver of Gifts, the Grantor of
Benefits, the Bestower of
Favour: Allah (God).
Since the Envier cannot climb up
to heaven to the Grantor of
gifts and benefits, his of her
anger is focused on the
recipient of Divine Favour.
Though their efforts (lies,
murder) are directed at the
recipient, their actions are in
fact a challenge against Allah
(God) Himself to warfare.
"And the Lord had respect unto
Abel and to his offering; but
unto Cain and to his offering He
had not respect. And Cain was
very angry, and his countenance
fell. And the Lord said unto
Cain, Why are you angry? And why
is your countenance fallen? If
you do well, will you not be
accepted? And if you do not do
well, sin lies at the door and
unto you shall be his desire and
you shall rule over him.
"And Cain talked with Abel his
brother: and it came to pass,
when they were in the field,
that Cain rose up against Abel,
his brother, and killed him."
Genesis 4:5-7
Hypocrisy and
Conspiracy - Page 3

Again, in
Genesis (27), is the story of
Isaac, who desired to give his
blessings to his eldest son,
Esau, but was deceived by
another son, Jacob, and gave
Jacob what was intended for
Esau.
Later, Jacob had 12 sons, one of
whom was named Joseph.
"Now Israel (Jacob) loved Joseph
more than all his children,
because he was the son of his
old age; and he made him a coat
of many colors. And when his
brothers saw that their father
loved him more than all his
brethren, they hated him and
could not speak peaceably unto
him. And Joseph dreamed a dream
and he told it to his brothers
and they hated him yet the more
... And his brothers envied him
... And when they saw him afar
off, even before he came near
unto them, they conspired
against him to kill him. And
they said one to another,
Behold, this dreamer cometh."
Genesis 37
In the Book of Samuel, there is
the story of Saul and David:
"And David went out wherever
Saul sent him and behaved
himself wisely; and Saul set him
over the men of war, and he was
accepted in the sight of all the
people, and also in the sight of
Saul's servants. And it came to
pass as they came, when David
was returned from the slaughter
of the Philistine, that the
women came out of all cities of
Israel, singing and dancing, to
meet King Saul ... And the women
spoke to one another, 'Saul has
slain his thousands and David
his ten thousands."
And Saul was very angry and the
saying displeased him...And Saul
watched enviously David, from
that day and onward."
All of the examples above come
to crystallization in the New
Testament with the focus of the
wicked against the Messiah,
foretold in the Second Psalm.
PART III
Why do I write a Study Guide on
Hypocrisy and Conspiracy at this
juncture?
Even as the rod of Aaron budded
and the rods of the pretenders
did not, creating more intense
hatred in them of Aaron; even as
Jesus did what the leadership of
the day was not unable to do,
but were prevented from doing by
the envious condition of their
hearts and minds, I write this
Study Guide at this time to warn
the followers of the Honorable
Elijah Muhammad and Black people
in general, that the plot
thickens, the conspiracy
broadens, the secret counsels
are taking place.
People are being drawn into the
conspiracy through ignorance and
others are drawing them into the
conspiracy knowingly and
deliberately.
The Sin of Ignorance is the
dissatisfaction with the
apparent slowness of Allah's
(God's) reward for faithful
service.
Hypocrisy and
Conspiracy - Page 4
Back to top
I have put forth
this Study Guide that we may not
fall victim to History.
Dispelling Ignorance with
Knowledge can save the
unwitting, dissatisfied from
becoming part of the conspiracy.
But those moved by Envy and
Hatred cannot be turned aside
with knowledge.
In the case of Judas, it was not
the 30 pieces of silver that
were important, it was the envy
and hatred of the one he
betrayed that moved him.
Disappointment and
dissatisfaction precede
treachery. Very few persons can
even imagine themselves in the
place of such a wretched
individual as Judas. But envy
and hatred grew over a period of
time. No one is beyond the
capacity to become a Judas;
everyone experiences
disappointment and/or
dissatisfaction at some time or
another. It is how we handle it
that determines our direction.
"But by what process, we may
ask, was the mercenary
disposition of Judas converted
into hatred against Jesus? The
process was that of
disappointment. When Judas
became convinced that all the
years of his connection with
(Jesus and the disciples) had
been lost, his will became
embittered and his resentment
was aroused . In the denseness
of his ignorance and the
baseness of his soul he probably
thought that Jesus had deceived
His followers as to His true
mission and he felt enraged
because he had been duped. He
had looked forward to worldly
promotion and success. He had
fondly hoped that the eloquence
of Jesus would call around him
(revolutionaries) who would
drive the Romans from Judea and
establish the long looked-for
Kingdom...
"At the Last Supper, he became
convinced that his worst fears
were true. Jesus was sincere in
His resolution to offer Himself
as a sacrifice for the sake of a
principle which Judas did not
approve of because he did not
understand. The 30 pieces of
silver were not the real or
leading inducement to this
monumental betrayal. He made
haste to vent his wrath upon the
author of his disappointment."
The Trial of Jesus (Walter M.
Chandler), 1976, The Harrison
Company, Norcross, GA
PART IV
The Government of the United
States is envious of our rise in
terms of numbers, growth and the
future that Allah has promised
us through the mouths of his
prophets. As the Honorable
Elijah Muhammad taught us, they
desire to rob us of that future.
One year ago, the FBI promised
one of its informants that by
September (1989), if they did
not have me in court they would
have "blown" me "out of the
water". The wicked plot did not
succeed, however, they have
never stopped trying. Since
then, they have been made to
realize that their Courts, which
have historically been trees
upon which strong Black men and
woman have been lynched, are not
what they used to be. This is
because of the heightened level
of consciousness of the people
as a

direct result of
the Teachings of the Honorable
Elijah Muhammad and His Servant,
Minister Louis Farrakhan.
In the white American judicial
system's failure to convict
Mayor Marion Barry of anything
more than a misdemeanor; its
failure to convict Reverend Al
Sharpton, Congressman Harold
Ford, Imelda Marcos and Adnan
Kashoggi and others, it has been
made manifest that with the
preponderance of Black people in
major urban areas, one
sophisticated Black person has
the power to hang a jury. This
is happening all over the
nation.
At their wits end, high
officials in the U.S. government
plan. If they cannot win in a
court of law, they must
exacerbate tensions within
organizations and among leaders,
creating mischief and causing
the shedding of blood. But, "The
Jews planned. And Allah also
planned."
"And thus We made in every town
the leaders of its guilty ones,
that they may make plans
therein. And they plan not but
against themselves, and they
perceive not." Holy Qur'an 6:124
"And they have indeed planned
their plan, and their plan is
with Allah, though their plan is
such that the mountains should
be moved thereby. So think not
that Allah will fail in His
promise to His messengers.
Surely Allah is Mighty, the Lord
of Retribution." Holy Qur'an
14:46,47
Again, it is with this regard
that I have put forward this
Study Guide that we may not fall
victim to History.
Silas Muhammad, through his
National Spokesman, is reported
to have said, "Our focus and
main purpose is to discredit
Minister Farrakhan." If this is
so, then they have discarded the
previously-claimed objective of
nation building to devote their
energies to the destruction of
my reputation. What is the
motive? Is it righteousness? Is
it love of the Honorable Elijah
Muhammad? Is it love of Black
people? Is it love of Allah
(God)? It is the same motive as
that which the U.S. Government
has: Envy.
"But when the Jews saw the
multitudes, they were filled
with envy, and spoke against
those things which were spoken
by Paul, contradicting and
blaspheming." Acts 13:
"But the Jews who believed not,
moved with envy, took unto them
certain vile fellows of the
baser sort, and gathered a
company, and set all the city in
an uproar..." Acts 17:5
"And when it was day, certain of
the Jews banded together and
bound themselves under a curse,
saying that they would neither
eat nor drink until they had
killed Paul. And they were more
than 40 who had made this
conspiracy." Acts 23:12

CONCLUSION
Envy is going to plummet the
Nation into darkness. But day
follows night and if we can hold
out through the night, we will
see the daylight once again.
"Say: I seek refuge in the Lord
of the dawn, From the evil of
that which He has created, And
from the evil of intense
darkness when it comes, And from
the evil of those who cast (evil
suggestions) in firm
resolutions, And from the evil
of the envier when he envies."
Holy Qur'an 1 13
"The Lord is my light and my
salvation; whom shall I fear?
The Lord is the strength of my
life; of whom shall I be
afraid?" Psalm 27

GLOSSARY
PLAN The Arabic word for
the verb "plan" is "makara",
meaning to devise, scheme, plot.
(n.vb.), devising, a device, sly
whispers or talk. (people. act.)
a planner, deviser, plotter.
CONSPIRACY The action of
conspiring; a combination of
persons for an evil or unlawful
purpose.
"Conspire" is from a Latin word
meaning, "To breathe together".
Accord, harmonize, agree,
combine or unite in a purpose,
plot mischief together and
secretly. It especially applies
to Treason and Murder.
The legal definition of
"Conspiracy" is as follows: "A
combination or confederacy
between 2 or more persons formed
for the purpose of committing,
by their joint efforts, some
unlawful or criminal act; or,
some act which is lawful in
itself, but becomes unlawful
when done by the concerted
action of the conspirators; or,
for the purpose of using
criminal or unlawful means to
the commission of an act not in
itself unlawful."
A person is guilty of Conspiracy
with another person or persons
to commit a crime if with the
purpose of promoting or
facilitating its commission, he
or she:
a) Agrees with such other person
(s) that they or one or more of
them will engage in conduct
which constitutes such crime or
an attempt or solicitation to
commit such crime; or,
b) Agrees to aid such other
person or persons in the
planning or commission of such
crime or of an attempt or
solicitation to commit such
crime.
Conspiracy is a crime in itself
and is distinct from the crime
it contemplates (the target
crime). In some jurisdictions an
overt act is required, in some
it is not.
A Conspiracy may be a continuing
one; actors may drop out and
others may drop in; the details
of operation may change from
time to time; the members need
not know each other or the part
played by others; a member need
not know all the details of the
plan or operations; a member
need not know that the target
crime is a crime; to be a
Conspirator or Co-Conspirator,
one only need to
Hypocrisy and
Conspiracy - Page 8

agree to become
a party to a plan to effectuate
the purpose of the conspiracy.
FACILITATION FACILITATE.

"facile", meaning easily done,
performed, used. Easy or
unconstrained, as manners or
person; affable, agreeable or
complaisant; easily influenced.
A "facility" is something
designed, built or installed to
serve a specific function
affording a convenience or
service. When something is
"facilitated" it is made free
from difficulty.
SOLICITATION SOLICIT.
Enticement or allurement. To
seek for by entreaty, earnest or
respectful request, formal
application; to petition someone
to do something; to urge,
importune, seek to influence or

SECTION 7:The Hypocrites
43 Allah pardon thee! Why
didst thou permit them until
those who spoke the truth had
become manifest to thee and thou
hadst known the liars?
44 Those who believe in Allah
and the Last Day ask not leave
of thee (to stay away) from
striving hard with their wealth
and their persons. And Allah is
Knower of those who keep their
duty.
45 They alone ask leave of
thee who believe not in Allah
and the Last Day, and their
hearts are in doubt, so in their
doubt they waver.
46 And if they had intended
to go forth, they would
certainly have provided
equipment for it; but Allah did
not like their going forth. So
He withheld them, and it was
said: Hold back with those who
hold back.
47 Had they gone forth with
you, they would have added to
you naught but trouble, and
would have hurried to and fro
among you seeking (to sow)
dissension among you. And among
you there are those who would
listen to them. And Allah well
knows the wrongdoers.
48 Certainly they sought (to
sow) dissension before, and they
devised plots against thee till
the Truth came, and Allah’s
command prevailed, though they
did not like (it).
49 And among them is he who
says: Excuse me and try me not.
Surely into trial have they
already fallen, and truly hell
encompasses the disbelievers.
50 If good befalls thee, it
grieves them; and if hardship
afflicts thee, they say: Indeed
we had taken care of our affair
before. And they turn away
rejoicing.
51 Say: Nothing will afflict
us save that which Allah has
ordained for us. He is our
Patron; and on Allah let the
believers rely.
52 Say: Do you await for us
but one of two most excellent
things? And we await for you
that Allah will afflict you with
chastisement from Himself or by
our hands. So wait; we too are
waiting with you.
53 Say: Spend willingly or
unwillingly, it will not be
accepted from you. Surely you
are a transgressing people.
54 And nothing hinders their
contributions being accepted
from them, except that they
disbelieve in Allah and in His
Messenger and they come not to
prayer except as lazy people,
and they spend not but while
they are reluctant.
55 Let not then their wealth
nor their children excite thine
admiration. Allah only wishes to
chastise them therewith in this
world’s life and (that) their
souls may depart while they are
disbelievers.
56 And they swear by Allah
that they are truly of you. And
they are not of you, but they
are a people who are afraid.
57 If they could find a
refuge or caves or a place to
enter, they would certainly have
turned thereto, running away in
all haste.
58 And of them are those who
blame thee in the matter of the
alms. So if they are given
thereof, they are pleased, and
if they are not given thereof,
lo! they are enraged.
59 And if they were content
with that which Allah and His
Messenger gave them, and had
said: Allah is sufficient for
us; Allah will soon give us
(more) out of His grace and His
Messenger too: surely to Allah
we make petition.
