Chapter 29
Under the system of this world,
the baby is born wrestling with
life and death, and death wins
this struggle and throws the
majority of us into our eternal
graves before we reach the age
of 50, and the remainder before
we reach the short age of 100
years -- when we should live 500
to 1,000 years. And the weakest
one should live at least 100
years.
Why is our span of life so
short? Because we try to follow
and practice the way of the
wicked, whose span of life was
limited in the beginning of
their time of 6,000 years. And,
due to their lack of the essence
of righteousness, and of eternal
life, they care not for a long
span of life.
They desire to shorten the
span of life for the aboriginal
people, who have no beginning or
ending -- and have done just
that -- because we have not
lived the way of their life.
What we were and what we are
given to eat and drink has
shortened our life. The way we
live -- that short term of life
from 12 to 30 years -- is but a
fleeting moment of the time we
should live. The earth is an
old, old earth, and the life
that is in it is our life also.
It produces us and it takes us
back, as dead material to
fertilize the life germ that is
yet to be made into man.
We should live far longer
than we have -- as long as we
see where we came from, and that
the material that made up our
bodies is still alive. But, what
has happened to us? We were fed
with death at the very beginning
-- the wrong food and drink,
given to us when we were babies
by our wicked enemies, until
today, we think that it is a
mistake to contemplate living
100 or more years; not to think
of 1,000 years. We think that is
impossible.
But it is no more impossible
for us today to live 800 or 900
years, than it was for
Methuselah, who lived 969 years
(each year carrying 12 months
like the ones we have today).
The Holy Qur-an teaches us
that a year with Allah has
always been 12 months. And the
civilizations of earth must
count their years according to
the time it takes the earth to
rotate around the sun, and get
itself into position. That, the
astronomers teach us, will give
us a more correct way of
counting the time.
We and our sons and daughters
are fed on poisonous foods, milk
and water, from the start of
life. This way of eating like
the beasts soon robs us of life,
and we go away within a few
years.
The baby eats poisonous
animals, fowls and vegetables
and drinks milk that is not his
milk -- it belongs to the cow’s
baby, goat’s baby and horse’s
baby. Here the child is reared
on animals’ and cattle’s food.
This is why we have such a
great percentage of delinquency
among minors. The child is not
fed from his mother’s breast --
she is too proud of her form.
Therefore, she lets the cow and
other animals nurse her new-born
baby. And, the baby cannot have
too much love for its mother. It
loves the bottle that its food
is in -- food that his mother
robbed from the cow’s baby to
feed her own baby.
When the baby reaches the age
of 10, and if it is a male, most
of them begin to indulge in
drinking alcoholic beverages and
using tobacco in one form or
another.
Alcohol and tobacco, with
their poisonous effect upon the
male, cut his life down, as far
as his reproductive organs are
concerned. He is unable to
produce his own kind. And,
nowadays, with dope added to all
of the above-mentioned poisonous
food and drinks, we can easily
say with truth, that the people
are committing suicide.
In a few days (years), they
lose sexual desires. Tobacco and
whiskey will most certainly
destroy it. The flesh of swine
and alcoholic drinks will give a
false impression of feeling to
the victim that you are strong
and able to finish the course --
but you can’t depend on it.
Soon, one finds himself needing
strength again and again -- not
to think of how venereal
diseases destroy those who
indulge in the extremes of life.
Let us eat to live, as Allah
(God) has taught me.
