Chapter 16
I have chosen (for quite a few
years) the month of December for
my followers to fast as in the
month of Ramadan. It serves as a
sign that we (the Lost and Found
Nation) are the end of all signs
pertaining to the pilgrimage and
fasting in the month of Ramadan.
We fast the 12th month of the
Christian year to relieve
ourselves of having once
worshipped that month as the
month in which Jesus was born.
It is now known and agreed upon
by the scholars and scientists
of religion that nothing of the
kind took place 2,000 years ago.
Jesus was born, not in the month
of December , but rather -- as
God has revealed it and
according to the season that
history claims existed in that
time -- the first or second week
in September.
The Christians have made
holidays which are used mostly
for commercialization. They buy
wine, whiskey and beer and
fatten up pigs and hogs for the
kill and roast this
divinely-prohibited flesh to
celebrate what the Christians
call the birthday of the Son of
Mary. Jesus condemned such
things as drunkenness and the
eating of swine flesh.
Nimrod was an enemy of God
and one who came in the last 300
years of the 2,000 years of
Moses. He led the white man
against the laws of Moses and
worship Allah. He (Nimrod)
wanted them to worship idols and
that which was other than God
(as they did in ancient Rome).
Let us, my followers,
remember the right way. Waste
not your earnings in such ways
as worshipping and feasting as
the Christians do. They only say
and do not. They have taken for
themselves the profit of God and
the place of God.
In this month of fasting we
shall keep our minds and hearts
clean, and we shall not indulge
in the eating of meats (land
meats). You may eat fish and
such fat products which come
from land animals such as butter
and cheese.
In this month, we should keep
our minds on Allah, Who came in
the Person of Master Fard
Muhammad: my God and your God
and my Saviour and Deliverer and
your Saviour and Deliverer to
Whom be praises forever for
giving us life after our mental
death for the past 400 years.
During this month, eat before
day and after the sun goes down
(if you wish) but not during the
daylight hours. This also goes
for drinking; drink whatever you
are going to drink either before
dawn or after dark. The eating
before dawn is for those of us
who love to eat breakfast in the
mornings. But if you eat one
meal a day, you may eat that
meal either before dawn or after
dark. It is better for your
health, however, to eat one meal
after dark.
Keep up prayer, and let us
all be grateful to Allah for His
coming in the Person of Master
Fard Muhammad throughout the
month of December and every
month. And during this month,
let there be no quarreling or
disputing in our homes or
abroad.
