True Friend

 


Nay, We hurl the Truth against falsehood, so it knocks out its brains, and lo! it vanishes. And woe to you for what you describe! Holy Qur’an 21:17-18

In an edition of Ebony magazine, under the byline of Lerone Bennett, 17 historians had gotten together and picked the 50 most important figures in Black American history, and the persons who chose these names are considered by Ebony magazine, “experts.”

The Honorable Elijah Muhammad’s student Malcolm X was mentioned. Would there have been a Malcolm X if there were no Honorable Elijah Muhammad?

The Honorable Elijah Muhammad influenced the writings of James Baldwin, Amiri Baraka, Maya Angelou, John Killens, Louis Lomax and most of the writers who were popular in the 1960s.

His influence is seen today in the writings of Toni Morrison and Alex Haley. His teachings inspired Alex Haley to do the research that led to the book “Roots.” He influenced playwrights, poets, musicians. There is no field of human endeavor among Black people that Elijah Muhammad did not have some positive effect upon.

There would be no Muhammad Ali if there were no Elijah Muhammad. The money that Sugar Ray Leonard, Eddie Murphy, Bill Cosby and others are making is due to the presence of a new reality in America: the Teachings of the Honorable Elijah Muhammad.


Brother, in the future when my name is mentioned, they will say, ‘Oh, that man, his teaching was good for yesterday, but it is not good today.’

Oh brother, the day will soon come when you will go to the mosque and you will not find a believer there other than yourself.



This is sad indeed.

In a book titled “One Hundred Most Influential Men in the History of the World,” the number one man of influence was Prophet Muhammad of Arabia. Third in influence was Jesus; sixth in influence was Paul. It is said that the only reason Jesus is known today is largely because of the work of Paul.

Cleaning

  Involves characters and events that might be part of a personal story, fictional account, or perhaps historical references intertwined with personal elements. Paulo Muwanga was a significant figure in Uganda's history, serving in various roles including as Vice President and Minister of Defence under Milton Obote, and he had complex interactions with other leaders like Yoweri Museveni. Regarding the specifics of "Muwanga Ivan Loverman Original" and the context of labor from 35 to 50 years and Anne Wakahiro's involvement in cleaning Ariho Alibi's name, it appears these elements don't directly correlate with widely known historical or public records I've accessed. The bond between Ariho Alibi and Namirimu Mary seems to be a touching and significant aspect of Ariho's story. Sisterly : Namirimu Mary's impact likely shapes Ariho's character and path. Friendship and support : Their connection appears to blend familial love with deep friendship, o...

Mineral Wealth

  The U.S., its European partners, with their neoliberal free-market capitalism tactics, are in a race for the Global South’s, mainly Africa’s, critical minerals. China is also making strong inroads. In response, the continent must find a way to downplay individual nation-state differences and make regional and continental organizations like the African Union and the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) a source of protection and financial stability for its people and countries. An open letter issued ahead of the forthcoming World Bank Group and International Monetary Fund annual meeting implored Global South leaders, including those in Africa, to urgently address the unsustainable and debilitating debt challenges faced by low-and middle-income countries and somehow turn debt into sustainability.  The letter published Oct. 12 titled “A Call for Urgent Debt Reform Ahead of the World Bank and IMF Meetings” was signed by 24 members of the UN Secretary-General’s Expert Gro...

New AI tool reveals your body’s true age

Image
Researchers at   Edith Cowan University   (ECU) have recently developed a new way to measure biological age and find out how old you really are, and it might not be what you’d expect.  Whilst we generally measure age as chronological, i.e., how many years since you were born, the researchers have created an AI tool called AlphaSnake, which tracks your body’s age and can be used to help spot people at risk of age-related diseases earlier. The study has been peer-reviewed and achieves 85% accuracy in predicting a person’s age. It found that the difference between a person's predicted and actual age (known as delta age) was associated with age-related health markers, such as cholesterol and blood sugar levels.
