Elijah Muhammad

“I will do this until death stops me”

Words of Messenger Elijah Muhammad

“Many times, through the last three years. I was so choked up with
bronchitis. Asthma attacks would sometimes come one after another. But I
didn’t miss one week. Did I? No. I didn’t miss one week. I was with you
every week. Yes sir. You heard me one way or the other. If it wasn’t over
the radio, you found an article in the paper. Because if I can’t talk, I
can write what I want to tell you. And I would lie there on the bed and
dictate it to the secretary. And she would give it to them. Sometimes I
would write it out and she’d take care of it. And if I would find a
clearance in my voice…And many times, you know that you have heard me
coughing on the tape. Right? Over the air you’d hear me coughing. That
was the best break I found. And I was much worse than that, now. The
secretary sometimes tried to take them all off, as much as possible. But
as you hear my voice now, I am a 1000% better, than I was then. I was
laying out there weighing 118 pounds. But I was not depriving you of the
food. Because I said to Allah that I will do this until death stops me.”
