Explanation of The Tribe of Shabazz
Explanation of The Tribe of Shabazz
By Messenger Elijah Muhammad
Reprinted from Chapter 18 of Message To the Blackman, “The Original Man,
Know Thyself”
It is knowledge of self that the so-called Negroes lack which keeps them
from enjoying freedom, justice and equality.
This belongs to them divinely as much as it does to other nations of the
earth.
It is Allah’s (God’s) will and purpose that we shall know ourselves.
Therefore He came Himself to teach us the knowledge of self. Who is
better knowing of who we are than God, Himself? He has declared that we
are descendants of the Asian Black Nation and the tribe of Shabazz.
You might ask, who is this tribe of Shabazz? Originally, they were the
tribe that came with the earth (or this part) 66 trillion years ago when
a great explosion on our planet divided it into two parts. One we call
earth and the other moon.
This was done by one of our scientists, God, who wanted the people to
speak one language, one dialect for all, but was unable to bring this
about. He decided to kill us by the destroying our planet, but still He
failed. We were lucky to be on this part, earth, which did not lose its
water in the mighty blasting away of the part called moon.
We, the tribe of Shabazz, says Allah (God), were the first to discover
the best part of our planet to live on. The rich Nile Valley of Egypt and
the present seat of the Holy City, Mecca, Arabia.
The origin of our kinky hair, says Allah, came from one of our
dissatisfied scientists, 50,000 years ago, who wanted to make all of us
tough and hard in order to endure the life of the jungles of East Asia
(Africa) and to overcome the beasts there. But he failed to get the
others to agree with him.
He took his family and moved into the jungle to prove to us that we
could live there and conquer the wild beasts, and we have. So, being the
first and the smartest scientist on the deportation of our moon and the
one who suffered most of all, Allah (God) has decided to place us on the
top with a thorough knowledge of self and his guidance.
We are the mighty, the wise, the best, but do not know it. Being without
the knowledge, we disgrace ourselves, subjecting ourselves to suffering
and shame. We could not get the knowledge of self until the coming of
Allah. To know thyself is to know all men, as from us came all and to us
all will return.
I must keep warning you that you should be give up the white race’s
names and religion in order to gain success. Their days of success are
over. Their rule will last only as long as you remain asleep to the
knowledge of self.
Awake and know that Allah has revealed the truth. Stop believing in
something coming to you after you are physically dead. That is untrue,
and no one can show any proof of such belief.
Again, know that Jesus was only a prophet and cannot hear you pray any
more than Moses or any other dead prophet. Know too, that this white race
was created to be the enemy of black mankind for 6,000 years, which makes
their number to be six. That is not your number or mine. We do not have a
number, because we have no birth record. Do not let anyone fool you. This
is the separation and the War of Armageddon.
