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.

The Truth of the Teaching | Wednesday Evening Ministry Class | Message to the Blackman in America, Chapter 28

"It is an act of intelligence and love for us to accept our own." With that one sentence the Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad opens a chapter that God Himself gave him as His first and foremost teaching for us: Accept your Own and be Yourself.

In this class, Brother Minister Jason Fareed reads Chapter 28 word for word and opens it from the Supreme Wisdom. What is our own? The Messenger answers in order: our own people, our own earth, God and His Religion, Islam, and our own place in the sun. Why do we refuse it? Because we were made blind, deaf and dumb to the knowledge of self and kind when we were babies under slavery. And what is the cure? Intelligence. The act of accepting what belongs to us by nature and by right.

Along the way: the Original Rules of Instruction and Allah's dearest desire "to give everyone his or her own"; Isaiah's ox that knows his owner; the frog pleading with the snake that already has him in its mouth; the modern Pharaoh and why we are fascinated with his riches and his crumbs; Moses' prayer that the riches be broken; and the one part of our deliverance that is on us, loving the enemy more than God. War is inevitable, the Messenger says, but he is not calling us to make war. God must come. Our part is to follow His rules, laws and regulations and do something for self.

Everything of life accepts its kind as its own. This class is the call to come back and do the same.
