Chapter 40
We must remember the god of this
world (the devil) cannot be
taken as a guide for health and
life, because he is not such a
guide.
We must remember the Biblical
prophecy of a God coming to us,
whose aim and purpose is to
teach the way of life and the
prolongation of life,
accomplishing these things
through the food that we eat
(both physically and mentally)
and the set times this food
should be taken.
The Bible prophesies of His
great work of giving to us
longer life and the eternal
happiness of life without being
troubled with the enemy of life
and the enemy’s effect on life.
The god of this world (the
devil) had to try to build a
world and teach the people
something different from what
they had been accustomed to.
This is why you see so much
change in the way of good to the
way of evil.
We must bear in mind that the
god of this world was made of
the essence of weakness, taught
wickedness and trained by a
wicked-minded god to destroy the
life of the righteous and to
change the natural religion of
the righteous (the very nature
of the righteous), so they would
not follow the right course, but
follow the wrong course.
He introduced the eating of
swine flesh, snakes, reptiles,
and all kinds of sea fish that
can be considered nothing but
scavengers of water, as the hog
is a scavenger of the earth.
Shrimp, crabs, oysters, catfish,
eels (water snakes), and many
other species of the water; all
types of beans, peas, and nuts
were not produced by nature for
us to try to use as a diet for
our delicate stomachs to digest
-- not to mention the pig.
The enemy of the righteous
has gone to the extreme in
everything to shorten, waste,
and change the way of right. In
trying to make a different world
and people from the right world
of the original people (Black
people), he made a hell for us
all.
The foods that the God of
righteousness prescribes are the
best foods. Let us accept our
own (the ways of Master Fard
Muhammad -- to whom praise is
due forever -- has taught us).
We cannot charge the white
man with his way of life, and we
follow it. If the white man eats
poisonous foods and eats three
or four times a day, that is his
business. We have now learned to
distinguish the poisonous food
from the non-poisonous. Why
should we eat poisonous food? We
have learned that eating too
often causes us to suffer. So,
why should we do so?
Eat one meal a day or one
meal every other day, and see
how much better you will feel.
There are many different
kinds of food that the white man
has grown and made. Eat the best
of the food that will not
destroy your health and bring
about a short life. Eat one meal
a day and one meal every two
days and live.
