Explained by The Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad, Messenger of ALLAH
Of all the knowledge that one may have or obtain, the knowledge of God is the greatest and the most necessary of all knowledge. I would say that 98% of the people of the earth are without knowledge of the God, the Supreme Being.
The Christians and most of the old world Muslims are alike; not having a true knowledge of the Supreme One, referred to as Allah, and God makes most people believe that God is something other than a man.
We have never known where He Himself began or who was first, God or the Universe? Just who is God? What is He? Is He of the essence of this universe or some invisible power, spirit, or force that has no equal comparison in His creation?
Many people have been saying for a long time that God is already with us. Most of the people believe God to be a "spirit". If He is only a spirit, it is not necessary for us to ever see Him; only to feel Him, for a spirit cannot be seen. And this has been the only God that we have had in the past.
We cannot expect to see that which cannot be seen. A spirit cannot be seen, only felt. It is like electricity. Electricity is a power produced by friction from a substance that has such power (electric) in it produced by the sun and moon upon the earth. It is not seen, but we know what makes it. So it is with God.
We know that God exists and is All Wise, All Powerful, and that this quickening power called spirit is from Him. But who is this God? A spirit cannot think, but thinking can produce spirit. So according to God’s own words, through His prophets, He must be a man
The wisest of scientists have worked, studied, and searched all their life long for the actual knowledge of God and have failed to obtain it. Finally, they formed their own opinions of God.
Many claim that there is no such one (God) and that the Creation of the Universe came by chance. Man’s creation, they say, took place from some lower form of animal life of the sea. But they are never able to prove such theories. There, the people formed their own ideas of God, for they had no true knowledge of God.
How can we know God if He kept Himself from our having a true knowledge of Him? Just what was the purpose of this secret knowledge of God?

Allah came to us from the Holy City Mecca, Arabia, in 1930. He used the name Wallace D. Fard, often signing it W. D. Fard, in the third year (1933). He signed his name W. F. Muhammad which stands for Wallace Fard Muhammad. He came alone. He began teaching us the knowledge of ourselves, of God and the devil, of the measurement of the earth, of other planet, and of the civilization of some of the planets other than earth.
He measured and weighed the earth and its water; the history of the moon, the history of the two nations, black and white that dominate the earth. He gave the enact birth of the white race, the name of their God who made them and how; and the end of their time, the judgment how it will begin and end.
He taught us the truth of how we were made "slaves" and how we are kept in slavery by the "slave masters" children. He declared the doom of America for her evils to us was past due. And that she is number one to be destroyed. Her judgment could not take place until we hear the truth.
He declared that we were without the knowledge of self or anyone else. How we had been made blind, deaf and dumb by this white race of people and how we must return to our people, our God and His religion of peace (Islam), the religion of the prophets. We must give up the slave names of our slave masters and accept the name of Allah (God) or one of His divine attributes. He also taught us to give up all evil doings and practices and do righteousness or be destroyed from the face of the earth.
He taught us that the slave-masters had taught us to eat the wrong food and that this wrong food is the cause of our sickness and short span of life. He declared that he would heal us and set us in heaven at once, if we would submit to Him. Otherwise He would chastise us with a severe chastisement until we did submit. And that He was able to force the whole world into submission to his will. He said that he loved us (the so-called Negroes), his lost and found, so well that he would eat rattlesnakes to free us if necessary for he has power over all things.

Master Fard Muhammad: The Man And What He Revealed
Are the Followers of The Hon.Elijah Muhammad guilty of Shirk?
***
The Muslims worship one God - Allah. "Say; He, Allah, is One God." Yet 99% of the old world(Orthodox) Muslims think that Allah is only a "Spirit" and is not a man. Then they too need to be taught today the reality of Allah.
I am with Allah to convince the world that He is God in the person of Master Fard Muhammad and that idols are things, not persons. According to the Bible and Holy Qur’an, god is referred to by the pronoun "He," never as "She" - always in the masculine term.
All these scriptures show that He sees, hears, feels, tastes, smells, talks our language, walks, stands, sits, eats, and drinks. Therefore, God must be a human being. He must be a human being, a man since we all refer to Him as being our Father.
Everyone looks forward to seeing the coming of God but who has prepared to meet Him on His coming? What do we expect to see, a spirit? Well we just cannot see spirits. We can only feel the spirit. Will we see a man? The world does not believe that God is a man. What are we to see for God if He is not a man? Let us check on the Bible and Holy Qur’an and see whether or not we should see a spirit or see a man for God.
