Allah Does Not Have An “s” On The End

In The Name of The Five Percent; [R-L] Life Justice & Justice Understanding

Allah Does Not 

Have An “s” On The End

By Allah Universal Lord Life Justice Shabazz

As men of the Five Percent Nation or Nation of Gods and Earths, we say we are Allah; all of us males carry that moniker to indicate relation; that is, in human form, we are a family which is universal—and as the consciousness dwelling within the form, we are one.  The word Allah, does not have an “s” attached to it; it shows possession, but it is a singularity; expressed as a multiplicity like the word, We.  We, indicates, all of us stand together for something: like, “Social means to advocate a society of men or group of men for one common cause [8/1-14].”  Stand for something, or fall for anything.  "Cause" equals an aim, principle or deep commitment.  Our beloved Amar Self, the God who brought the knowledge to Power Hill, and God Knowledge Gahib (first born of this city) loved the 17th degree in the One to Forty: “What is the meaning of civilization? One having knowledge, wisdom, understanding, culture, refinement and is not a savage in the pursuit of happiness.”  Islam is a culture of peace, which has science; which makes one consider and live in harmony.  Peace is the absence of confusion; which knowing can bring.  We are only together because we are a-like in mind.  In this, we are all together because of we know and govern ourselves by a standard of civlization; otherwise we are just uncivilized people with no real purpose searching for something we know not and worshipping something we cannot see; pursuing happiness in things instead of allowing ourselves to be happy for the things we pursue. In essence, we allow ourselves to be enthused—enthusiasm nor happiness comes from the things pursued.  The universal mind contains thoughts, concepts, ideas and ideologies with which—over years of adding on our findings onto our cipher—we evolved a culture; based upon what we know and understand; i.e., cohesive experiences, to pass onto our sons and daughters; which is the essential part of civilization and evolution.  Like the twenty-three scientists of old [4/1-14; 10/1-40], we have to agree on common rules and regulations—if only for trade and civility.

We are not a religion; we are Islamic Scientist and science comes from scire, which means to know; knowledge is not a belief but belief in what we know is essential and equal to a firm commitment to the truth.  The truth is bulletproof, for there’s no holes in its theories (system of ideas to explain something); therefore it is Holy: Holy is the same as wholly, which means entirely; fully: as, Holy is something that cannot be diluted, mixed, or tampered with in any form [9/1-14].  I heard someone say, “Those are “Muslim lessons” and I’m not religious, my culture is free”—as if the allegories or hidden moral and political meanings contained within Allah’s lessons, scripture, iyat or surah are not true or that reading and applying one persons to concepts, ideas and principles found in religious books makes you religious.  That concept defies common consideration concerning the things one encounters in everyday life. 

We are the knowledge we seek. We recognize the knowledge (and ultimately the knowledge of our Self) through the things we encounter because we choose to do what’s right or appropriate for the situation. Reason being—we are civilized righteous beings. . . We strive to do what’s right and exact.  The question sends us on a quest to find out who we are by interfacing with the things we encounter -which causes us to reflect upon the concepts we embrace.  What we know, or are seeking, is confirmed through our experiences—which leads to understanding; and that knowledge and understanding borns our culture.  The culture is I—God; which states through mastery (13) we know Self [I Self Lord and Master].  That’s not religious, nor being a drone to religious dogma; that’s mathematics, science and being right and exact!   

In the concepts of Triple Stage Darkness, “Allah was all knowing [omniscient], all present [omnipotent], and all powerful but had not expressed those attributes because of Allah’s at-one-ment [Samadhi] with the myriad of the qualities, attributed to the Eternal One.”  It is said that Allah created creation within a portion of Allah’s vastness—as a place where he could contrast and experience Allah’s said qualities.  As Jimi Hendrix said, “Are You Experienced?”  If not, I have little to no tolerance for ignorant fools, claiming to be God.  

Our 120 Lessons speaks about our people and their various experiences, and what they learnt as a result of those experiences.  The Father gave us 120 Lessons, Supreme Mathematics, Supreme Alphabets and Twelve Jewels as our tools to do our work.  They say that experience is the best teacher, so why not learn from a book which tells of our various sojourns and what we drew up from these encounters [regardless of the titles we claimed to be at the time in our growth or development?  The Nation of Islam also has these, and more lessons, which they dubbed, “Three Hundred and Sixty Degrees of Perfected Knowledge.”   There is nothing religious about the word knowledge and the 15th degree (or cipher/"0" in our Supreme Alphabet) within the one through forty claims; some Muslims, and also Muslim sons are also Five Percent; those among the ones who study from thirty-five to fifty years.  Just taking  Math and Triple Stage Darkness as your foundation, will never reveal such realities. The first degree within the one to forty states, “The Holy Koran or Bible is made by the Original Man, who is Allah, the Supreme Being, Blackman from Asia.”  Are we not the original man?  So does studying religious text make a person religious? Does seeking wisdom in the ways of others, since wisdom is the way, make a person religious?  Clearly, we can see that a person such as this isn’t talking about religion, they have a problem with being restricted or restrained. They have delusional concepts about freedom and a belief that they shouldn’t be inhibited from carrying out any of their ideas. How foolish!  “N@#hs talk about my mind, your mind, I got that B*#*h’s mind uptight; N@#hs don’t know a damn thing about the mind else they’d be right” [Last Poets, from the song, “Niggers are Scared of Revolution”]! 

When Justice and I were hanging the Universal Flag outside of the Universal Street Academy in Power Hill, my considerations reflected upon the conversation my person had with Knowledge Gahib earlier: Before my person have created the sign, we asked Gahib, “Who should I put the flag in the name of?  Allah, God?”  Knowledge Gahib responded by saying, “Put it in the name of the Five Percent.”  I thought this choice to be most wise, because even though Allah covers all (since all came from one), the concept is somewhat abstract to women because they are not allowed to use the title Allah for themselves—even though all came from Allah; but the title Five Percent. . . Man, woman, and child could identify that title and be proud of it; the academy belongs to all of us.

The Universal Flag of Islam is symbol of the Universal Family: Sun, Moon and Stars; Man, Woman and Child past, present and future; all being born into equality and belonging to Allah.  It really is a family flag; with Allah being ultimately responsible for all matters of the household.  Allah is fully realized through God’s interaction within family dynamics.  A nation can only be as strong as those who uphold it, and a nation is judged by how it provides for those under its’ jurisdiction; especially those who can’t provide for themselves.  Allah stakes that claim when he says, Sole controller.  Allah manifest as the radiant Sun throughout the universe; everything revolves around the sun and the sun provides consideration for everything within the universe.  The Eighth Degree in the One to Fourteen clearly states: “Equality means to be equal in everything.”  [That doesn’t sound religious, does it?]  The seven places God in the center of the flag; which symbolically states he is responsible for his universe or family.  This is our charge when we take on the title.  Anyone who feels differently should look at the eighth degree in the one to forty, which states: “Earthquakes are caused by the son of man experimenting with high explosives.  In fact, all that above is caused by the son in man.”  Now son and sun are one; which means as a man or son—as Allah, you are the Creator; you take on the position of forming the universe: You don’t focus on what the woman did or didn’t do, you think about what you allowed or what you didn’t do, or didn’t know, etc—you are the author of your own destiny and the universe starts with “u.”  You can’t control what others do without trespassing against their free will—but you can control what you allow to occur within your universe and what you failed to do about it.  [I hope this sounds scientific. . . Or am I still sounding religious?]

I guess the problem came in, when we came into physical form.  That’s when we had to master id and ego.  Allah starts with all., but we got a lot of guys, carrying out actions as though they are part of Greek mythology; with polarized, overbearing personalities which are often lacking in social consideration.  God is a group reality carried out through the body of the individual; not a egomaniac who is narcissistic.  You have to concern yourself with nation and family; not your ego.  “The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few.”  If you are a nation builder, you have to subdue your id and ego for the sake of the unit.  That ego you have will have you competing against us and neglecting the needs of your nation and family.  That ego will have you fighting against Allah, in the person of others, to feed your id.  Any righteous woman will not trust you, if she can’t trust that your ego won’t run roughshod over her needs.  If you are Allah, you must look at the bigger picture; not just your feelings and what you want [and that goes for you spoiled brats as well].  The more you entertain your ego, the more you Edge God Out.  It’s all about civilization and refinement [17/1-40]: If I can’t warn you, to save your life, what good am I to you?  If you can discard lessons when they don’t suit your purpose; what good are you to me?  This is what keeps us in check: “Word is Bond [11/1-14].”  All relationships are all about trust and reliance. We have to advocate for the same common cause, otherwise you are dead to me.  Stand for something or fall for anything.

I get so tired of brothers who claim they are Allah; yet when it comes down to claiming responsibility, they want to play the Blame someone else game.  The lessons state, “The Civilized is held responsible for the uncivilized [20/1-40],” and, “The civilized one’s duty is to teach civilization, righteousness, the knowledge of Self and the science of everything in life [18/1-40]. “ You must show the civil and right way, even when the others do wrong; because you know better and by being Allah, you are the knowledge, truth, light and the way. . . [Does that sound like knowledge or me being religious?]  Musa came amongst devils and taught them how to live a respectful life, and how to build a home for themselves—and he was half original.  The Original man taught Musa that man must build  a home for himself—represented by the Universal Flag—he must be civil.  When his woman is more civil for holding the family in tact, than he; that is not right because he is the father of civilization; that is his job; to further the family for our cause.  [Still sound religious?]  

People get it twisted: You can’t quote lessons when it’s convenient and claim you are free and unrestricted when you are not in line with the lessons.  Freedom does not mean you do what you feel, it means that you are free to do things within the parameters of culture; you are free to do things as long as it does not violate someone else.  Its culture/freedom, not unrestricted free agent.  Which woman will loan her powers for you to use, if she can’t rely on you to uphold any standards and keep her secure within her relationship with you?  What woman wants an unreliable man?  There must be a sense of order and protocol.  If our cause is not common—if you don’t adhere to the same elements that the Father gave us; I have no time for you, nor your rhetoric.  I have no patience for this.  You’re either all the way in, or I’m not with you:  That goes for you, “Mathematics and nothing else,” brothers.  We are not the same: Nothing about Triple Stage Darkness, nor the knowledge and understanding that can be extracted from the chronology that One Twenty represents.  We are not the sequence in evolutionary development and I disassociate myself from those that claim that; because the path ownership is not the same.  These are the days when we need to live by morals and principles, and keep our families together; for without them—we fall back into chaos and uncertain times.

Of course 'All Lives Matter'

According to US Census data, females outnumber males throughout the United States between 50 percent and 56 percent. Niagara and Erie counties are both 51 percent female. Have you ever wondered how females are defined as a minority even though they’re actually the majority of our population?

Demographically, it doesn’t make sense. Maybe issues concerning females are a minor concern of the dominant society. Maybe it’s because females don’t share the power, opportunities, rights and privileges as their male counterparts. Here’s some facts to consider:
                              
• Even though females are out-graduating males in college they’re still under-earning males in almost every degree.
                                                                                                                                                                         
• Females earn about 75 cents on the dollar compared to males.
                                                                                                                                                                          
• Unlike many countries, the U.S. still doesn’t have a national law to guarantee paid maternal leave for females.
                                                                                                                                                                           
• Females make up only 4 percent of the CEOs of the S and P 500 companies.
                                                                                                                                                                         
• There has never been a female vice president or president of the U.S.
                                                                                                                                                                
Because of this historical and present day reality affecting our female population, there have always been people, organizations and movements dedicated towards establishing human/civil rights and fair economic opportunities for women. The facts I’ve shared, and other statistics, show a historical sexist and misogynistic sentiment that has pervaded American society since its 1776 conception. Females lives matter and we cannot diminish, minimize or trivialize this. That would be equivalent to going to a woman’s rally against domestic violence and arguing that they need to stop talking about this because “All Lives Matter” and men are DV victims too. Some may even advocate that dogs lives matter because x amount die every year protecting their owners from home invasions. 
                                                                                                                                                                  
Whatever a person’s reasoning is for hijacking an important narrative like this, and redirecting attention away from the main concern that females lives matter, it’s one of the main reasons institutional sexism persists. The same lack of consideration and engagement also applies to the infamous “R-word” — Racism.

 On Dec. 13, in conjunction with an International Day of Resistance, there was a rally held at Legend’s Park to bring awareness to the disproportionate instances of police brutality toward African-American citizens. The rallying cry was, and is, “Black Lives Matter.” According to data from 1999-2012 from the Center on Juvenile and Criminal Justice on police brutality:
                                                                                                                                                                     
• A black person is killed extra-judicially (unlawfully) every 28 hours by law enforcement.
                                                                                                                                                                      
• Black men between ages 19 and 25 are the group most at risk to be shot by police.
                                                                                                                                                                         
• Black youth are 4.5 times more likely to be killed by police than any other age or racial group in America.
                                                                                                                                                                           
• Black people comprise 26 percent of police shootings we only makeup 13 percent of the U.S. population.
                                                                                                                                                                         
Like females, and various segments of our population deemed “minorities,” African-Americans are also disproportionately affected by socioeconomic conditions including police brutality. Although some of you would love to believe these issue are because black people are on welfare, criminals by nature and/or uneducated, many times we are discriminated against simply because of the color of our skin — the same way many females are discriminated against because of their gender. This also gives you some insight into the degree of scrutiny, bullying and outright attacks black women, double minorities, have historically received when they play prominent roles or hold executive positions within this society. Of course “All Lives Matter,” including females and black lives.
                                                                                                                                                                           
In this critical day and time it’s important to understand that in the U.S. there are still marginalized segments of our society, deemed minorities, that are outright disrespected and discriminated against simply because they’re female, they’re black or both. These problems specifically affects these groups, not all people, and it must be discussed and resolved because whatever is allowed to happen to the least of us eventually affects us all. We share neighborhoods. We are your co-workers, doctors, public officials and prepare your food at restaurants. We are your children and grandchildren’s peers. We are your family members through marriage or birth.
                                                                                                                                                                            
Learn more about the plight of your fellow citizens and what you can do to be a positive agent of change. Knowledge empowers you to “know” the “ledge” or limitation of certain ideas that no longer reflect our changing societal landscape.

 Black Lives Matter

 

The following article by Philip Gambini appeared in the Niagara Gazette highlighting a December 13th Rally I organized on the National Day of Resistance against police brutality:

 

"Legends Park gathering in support of national protests focuses on community issues"

By Philip Gambini philip.gambini@niagara-gazette.com

 

Community members and city leaders gathered in Legend’s Park Saturday in solidarity with national protests speaking out against police violence in America.

The gathering, organized by local activist Saladin Allah, was attended by a dozen residents young and old, including Councilwoman Kristen Grandinetti and Council Chairman Charles Walker. In the formidable cold, it became less a rally and more a forum on the issues facing members of the Niagara Falls community and across the nation.

"We are showing publicly that we take responsibility of ourselves," Allah said. "We are not relying on somebody to speak for us and we are not relying on somebody to take care of us."

The group stood in a circle in Legend’s Park, discussing a range of topics from the historical treatment of African-Americans, to the family’s importance in a productive community, to the responsibility of individuals to learn for themselves about this country’s heritage and history.

"It’s important that we are mindful and aware of what we need to do for ourselves," Allah said. Resident Ezra Scott braved the December air to show his support. He spoke about critiques of the national protest, whether they were to identify police brutality or community violence. In the end, he said, it is not localized to a specific issue. Rather, it is a gesture of strength to identify that community members who are not often heard have a voice. "Whether it was because of an unfortunate event," he said, "we need to take charge, take initiative, keep it moving, and people are going to follow."

A focus of the forum was that it was not organized specifically around faith, color or denomination. Those present talked of a common humanity that must be elevated and honored if we are to live in a truly equal, just society. The group took time to congratulate the presence of the council members and thanked them for standing in unity with their cause.

"The power behind it," Grandinetti said, "is once you take the risk and use your voice one time it becomes easier and easier ... It’s not about being angry or violent, it’s about having a voice." She discussed her involvement in women’s and children’s rights. She asked for those present to raise their issues with positive energy in city government. "We live in one of the most beautiful places in the world and this city should be thriving," she said. "But it’s because there’s a small group of people who want to be big fish in a dirty little pond. They are keeping it down."

The group also touched on an understanding of historical context. Allah spoke of immigrant community members who had changed their name to conceal themselves from persecution, while Grandinetti recounted her father’s own efforts to do the same. "Out of the 238 years we have been in this country, 189 of those years we were not allowed to participate in American society. Eighty-nine years we were slaves, another 100 years we were segregated," Allah said. "That’s over 75 percent of the time we have been in this country we’ve been looked at as less than, as thugs, as savages." Walker spoke how American civil discourse had devolved, rather than progressed, with election of President Barack H. Obama. He recounted his shock at how this president had been spoken about in media, while other members of the crowd noted that his very citizenship had been questioned from the start.

 

"Our voices are the importance," he said. "We are not going to take this. Collectively speaking out is the only way we’re going to change things." Unfortunate as the circumstances in Ferguson and New York are, he said, they have to happen in order to gather peoples’ attention and focus their efforts on change. Though the numbers in Niagara Falls paled in comparison to the protests in Washington D.C. and New York City, many of those present dismissed the consideration outright. Any turn out, they said is a valued and important show of support. "In the Bible it says faith without work is dead, and obviously we are a people of faith," Allah said. "But we need some work, straight up work, to go along with that faith. That’s what we are, we represent that work."
