There are a lot of readers of
this book who have many
different thoughts and
conceptions of this book. THE
MAIN ROOT of this book is to
stop you from eating two or
three times a day which will
prolong your life. It takes
several hours for the proteins
and the vitamins in the meal we
eat today to be digested and
distributed throughout our
bodies. Allah, through the
mouths of the Prophets
prophesied that when He Comes,
He would give us more life, an
abundancy of life.
The Book does not teach you
how He will extend our lives;
how He will make our lives worth
living; and how we will rejoice
in our lives.
Now, He (Allah) Has Come and
He is teaching me to teach you
how to live. How to live is to
go after that which is essential
for us to put in our body as
foods which gives life and
maintain life in the body.
He (Master Fard Muhammad, to
Whom Praises are Due forever),
Has taught me how to teach you
the best way to extend our lives
and that is through the right
kind of foods and drinks.
This does not mean we have to
eat every herb of the earth;
every cattle of the earth, every
bird that flies, every domestic
fowl, or every piece of fruit
that a fruit tree or vine is
bearing (as some people think
like that). Just a simple food
will keep you and me living a
long time, if that simple food
is good and we eat it only once
a day (once every 24 hours).
SOME WEAK people think that
they cannot eat once every 24
hours, but our stomach looks to
our brain for guidance and looks
to our brain to be the "boss" of
what it should take in. The
stomach does not think for
itself. The brain thinks for the
stomach.
Allah has given to us and has
taught that way of life that is
good for us. We can accept it or
we can reject it. There are some
people who claim that they like
the way but they will go ahead
and eat that which is not good
for them to eat. Then, they get
in trouble and they write me and
say that they eat once a day but
they are sick: they cannot take
it. But, do I not know that they
are not eating rightly as I
teach them that God taught me
and that they are not going
through 24 hours, eating only
one meal? Do they not know that
I know they are not carrying out
the instructions as they should?
If you get sick, go and fast for
three days. This helps kill the
poison in your stomach that came
from what you ate. Once every
year, we have accumulated enough
poison from eating one meal a
day to make us sick one day. I
SAY AGAIN, our stomach is not
the boss. The brain is the boss.
Eat one meal a day and eat good
food and do not eat Divinely
prohibited food. This is the
Word of Allah and His Teachings
to prolong our lives.
