When God suggests a thing, it is not a light matter. It is a heavy one.

In this Wednesday Evening Ministry Class, Brother Minister Jason Fareed teaches Food God Suggests, Chapter 3 of How to Eat to Live, Book One, by the Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad. The Messenger opens the chapter with a question and answers it himself:

“What food does Allah (God) suggest? He suggests the food that is good for us and does not make us ill. Food that is for human consumption and not for animals.”

In this class we study:

• The two foods: the physical food that nourishes the body and the spiritual food that nourishes the soul
• One meal a day, “no matter what anyone says,” and the doctor’s length of life
• Why nature never teaches us to die, or teaches of life somewhere else
• Daniel, the king’s meat, and the pulse: the small navy bean the Messenger prescribed for the Nation of Islam
• Why we must prepare and grow our own food in a highly commercialized world
• What we can actually do: treat ourselves better, love ourselves more, desire what God wants for us, and follow God’s suggestions

The body is our temple. Allah suggests the best for it because He loves us, and He leaves the choosing to you and me.

The Safest Way to Eat | How to Eat to Live, Book One, Chapter 33

“The safest way of all to eat is to stop eating so often (three meals a day and meals between those three meals).”
The Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad

In this Wednesday Evening Ministry Class, Brother Minister Jason Fareed teaches Chapter 33 of How to Eat to Live, Book One: The Safest Way to Eat. Food keeps us here and food takes us away. The Messenger shows us that the safest way to eat begins with who is in charge at the table. Our appetite is not our God.

In this class:

• Why the Messenger compares our old eating habits to the appetite of the swine, and why “the swine’s life is very short”
• How eating too often clouds the mind, wears out the stomach and steals our clarity
• Why our bodies are made of the best, and why we should put only the best into them
• How America was blessed with the best food and water, and turned good things into bad
• What it means that America “kept them here in order to prey upon them,” and why we still eat the food of slavery
• Why the plagues are falling on America, and how those who follow the divine path will be saved

The Messenger also draws on the Supreme Wisdom, the Holy Qur’an, the Bible, The Fall of America and the Theology of Time. The class is a call to regulate what we put into our bodies and our minds, so that we can see clearly and live long.

Foods to Avoid | How to Eat to Live, Book One, Chapter 32

On October 7th, the birth anniversary of the Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad, the Wednesday Evening Ministry Class opened Foods to Avoid from How to Eat to Live, Book One.

The Messenger opens the chapter by setting the order straight: “We should not be asking questions about what kind of foods to eat as much as we should be trying to eat one meal a day. This is where good health and the prolongation of life come from.”

In this class, Brother Minister Jason Fareed breaks down:

• Why one meal a day comes before the menu, and what “Of this I can assure you from self-experience” teaches us about a Messenger who lived what he taught
• How long we could live if we trained our stomachs, and the meaning of Methuselah’s 969 years
• The scavengers of the sea, and why the Messenger calls the catfish “the pig of the water”
• How to identify stale fish, beginning with the Messenger’s own test: “When food smells like it is spoiled, we should not eat it.”
• The divinely prohibited flesh of the swine, which we are not to eat, touch, or even smell
• Doing for self: our own farms, our own food, and refusing to take our enemies for our guides

We also honor Sister Clara Muhammad, the Messenger’s strong supporter and a perfect example of the M.G.T.

Foods to avoid are physical and spiritual. Avoid the scavengers, the swine, and the poison in our food, and just as importantly, avoid wrong mental food and guidance from those who do not love you.

Study deeper between classes at www.templeofislam.com. The teachings of the Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad are there for you, free.

Join us live every Wednesday evening, and bring someone with you. If this teaching benefited you, please share this episode with your family and friends, so they too can learn how to eat to live.

As-Salaam-Alaikum.
