A Security Concern.
2:148 To each is a goal to which G-d turns him then strive together; (as in a race) Towards all that is good. Wheresoever ye are, G-d will bring you together. For
G-d hath power over all things.
As Salaamu Alaikum Imam Siddeeq
I agree with your e-mails 100% and stand with you on your concerns as well. The world should know of these thieves and robbers, who thought the believers were asleep and unaware. We use to have a saying “Can the devil fool a Muslim?” The answer was “Not now a days” So if that was a long time
ago, when we had baby knowledge, just think of today now that we have a greater understanding and adult knowledge that Allah(swt)has blessed Imam W.D Mohammed to give and share with us.
3:144 Muhammad is no more than an Apostle; many were the apostles that passed away before him. If he died or were slain,will ye than turn back on your heels? If any did turn back on his heels, not the least harm will he do to G-d; but G-d (on the other hand)will swiftly reward those who (serve him) with gratitude.
3:145 Nor can a soul die except by G-ds leave. The term of being fixed as by writing. If any do desire a reward in this life, we shall give it to him; and if any do desire a reward in the hereafter, we shall give it to him. And swiftly shall we reward those that (serve us with) gratitude.
Another true friend and loyal security person and my friend, who was in charge of Imam W.D Mohammeds security awhile ago from N.J (who is now deceased) told me no more than 3 years ago, He said; “Did you know what my assignment was with the Imam?” I said: ” No,you never told me” He said: “My assignment was to keep the Imams away from Imam W.D Mohammed. I said: “Whaaat, No kiddin”
He said: “yes sirrr”
So ponder over that for a few minutes.
Now here comes the 2004 Annual Islamic Conv. in Chicago. And part of my assignment was to keep an eye on the money, because certain people were stealing. The report came back that we took in more money than any other convention. He, the Imam also told me who the thieves were. So you see, the Imam always knew. (Can the devil fool a Muslim?)
4:74-76 Let those fight in the cause of G-d who sell the life of this world for the hereafter. To him who fighteth in the cause of G-d whether he is slain or gets victory soon shall we give him a reward of great value.
75- And why should ye not fight in the cause of G-d, and of those who, being weak, are ill treated (and oppressed)
Men, women, and children, whose cry is: “Our Lord!rescue us from this town, whose people are oppressors; and raise for us from thee one who will protect; and raise for us from thee one who will help.”
76-Those who believe fight in the cause of G-d, and those who reject faith fight in the cause of evil: So fight ye against the friends of satan:
feeble indeed is the cunning of satan.
So Br. Siddeeq and the christian friend is right on time.
The Imam also reminded us about Peter. You remember Peter in the bible? He was the one who denied Christ while he was living. So what would he do now that Christ is dead?
So, those of you that were in the inner circle of Imam W.D Mohammed and did not treat the people just and with disrespect. Who lied to the Imam, as well as lied on him. (you know who you are) What makes us think that if these people were now in leadership would treat us any differently now that the Imam has passed?
Now, regarding the letter our christian friend wrote, when i was reading it Allah(swt) blessed me to remember what Imam W.D Mohammed once said in a talk; “He was a man who didn’t know he was an angel, and an angel who didn’t know he was a man”
6:81 “How should I fear (the beings)ye associate with G-d, when ye fear not to give partners to G-d without any warrant having been given to you?
Which of(us)two parties hath more right to security? (Tell me)if ye know?
82-”It is those who believe and confuse not their beliefs with wrong-that are(truly)in security,for they are on(right)guidance.”
A True Friend

May Allah bless Khadijah with the good in this life and better in the next.
My heart goes out to her. I got so emotional after reading what she has experienced. And though she is young in years, she is indeed a woman who has displayed patience and good character. I truly admire her.
May Allah give Laila, her mother and any other family members who have caused this undue hardship on Khadijah just what they deserve. Amin
And although Laila and her mother MAY get all the material things that they are seeking, I do not envy them one bit. For all they are really getting is a piece of the fire. And may they NEVER enjoy one day of peace for what they have and are continuing to do to the wife of W.D. Mohammed.
“Greed is a terrible thing.”
Is there an address where DONATIONS can be sent to Khadijah?
I continue to make dua for Khadijah.

Assalaamu Alaikum,
Brother, May your daughter by Allah’s leave get every thing she deserves and my prayers go out to you and your family for the loss of your son, and you daughter for the loss of her husband our leader Imam Mohammed. I must say I’m not surprised by any of this. I was a follower of the Hon Elijah Muhammad and saw what happened at his death.I am not surprised by the behavior Elijah II or the spineless Imams and their behavior. It’s not justice we look for it’s gain at any expense. Did not the early converts lose their way over the booty? I’m in support of right the Qur’an and sunnah and am offering my support in exposing those that put dirty spots on this community,and actually destroy the great work of our Imam. Pardon me but it has to be said. These n[...] don’t want to be Muslims, these n[...] want to be n[...]. In any way I can I will support the effort to expose those that are wrong and unjust and bring the truth to light. It’s a shame! you have my email

As-salaamu-alaikum Bro. Muhammad,
My sincerest condolences to Sister Khadijah, you, and your family. May Allah bring comfort and healing to you in this most difficult time. It pains me that at a time when Sister Khadijah, you and your family, as well as, Imam Mohammed’s other family–Laila, and the others–should be mourning the lost of this beloved servant of Allah, there is fitnah.
We all know who is in the mix of such travesty, Satan.
I’ve read your account with great horror, saddness, and compassion, the same as I read Sister Khadijah’s letter. As a student of Imam Mohammed, and a member of this community, I hope you can appreciate the great tragedy that is felt by all, and the hurt that this brings upon us within the community, who love and care for you all (all of the Imam’s family).
What you and Khadijah have put forward are very serious and grave charges! As a Muslim, I’m obligated to go on record, firstly, appealing to those leading Imams among us to take appropriate actions, to gather the facts surrounding this very serious case and take the proper action, according to Islamic Jurisprudence.
I am committed to stand for and seek justice for khadijah, and all parties involved. The first line of accountability falls upon our leading and scholarly Imams, who are obligated to take this matter up immediately in a Ma-Shurah to resolve it. This should be done ASAP, before it infests the community as fitnah does.
I pray for Allah’s Mercy, Guidance, and Special Help during these very serious times.
Ma salaamu,
Okolo Rashid

As-Salaamu-Alaikum,
I appreciate the information that you have provided our community with. Although some of our community may not appreciate and understand the courage and strentgh it takes to expose truth. I admire you and your Family for having the courage to stand up to the Imams, The family of Imam Mohammed and the communtiy. It is imperative that we as community stand up for truth ratther than live a lie. Ofcourse I would prefer that this never happened, but that is not the case. So I encourage you to inform us of the character of those people acting as leaders in our community. I encourage the community to never follow anyone blindly. If the Imam encouraged anything it was for us to think and do what’s right. It is neccesary that we address this so it does not repeat. Our community is not perfect and we will face challenges and we shall overcome them. I do not want a weak foundation for our community. In other words you have my support. I believe that your daughter will be succesful in whatever she endeavors to do, she appears to me to be a believer. May Allah bring peace to your family and my condolences on the lost of your son and son-n-law.
As-Salaamu-Alaikum

REgardles to our personal belief that a wife or heir to Imam Mohammed will or should be honored and revered by Kings, Presidents etc. Our Holy Quran details what should take place (in the absence of a will from Imam Mohammed detailing otherwise). Those of you who die and leave widows should bequeath for their widows a year’s maintenance and residenct;(S2:240). –But if ye leave a child, They (wives) get an eighth; after payment of legacies and debts. As a member of the community of Believers who followed Imam W. D. Mohammed, we have work to do to begin/continue building community life. The disgrace that should have everyone in an uproar, is the fact that our Imam passed this life without completing his dream of building Islamic Community Life. Every business he started suffered from lack of support, incompetency and corruption ob behalf of too many of the “Muslims”. If yo want to do service to his memory. Do what we were unable to do when he was present. We fought then. We were emotional and destructive. This is just more of the same. Let us show, during this Blessed Month of Mercy and forgiveness. Let us show how we can forget how hurt and appalled we are, and get to work. It doesn’t have to be anything big. Just get started. Do something out of the ordinary. Let us forgive. Let us not backbite, slander or berate. Let Allah be the judge. Let us get to work. How much time and energy has been spent building and connecting? How much time has been spent dividing and tearing down? Please do not let any other Believer forward this divisive Self Hatred drama to me. Tell me how we can work together to build, mend, heal and reconstruct. Ramadan Mubarak

salamualaikum
subhanallah this is all very disturbing. I don’t know how these people – charlatans is more appropriate – can sleep at night knowing that they are abusing the trust and name of a great leader, now deceased.
If there is anything we can do from up here in Canada, please let me know.

As Salaamu’ Alaikum
Bro. Imam Siddeeq, the Siddeeq family, and my fellow Believers of Al-Islam and students of Imam W. Deen Muhammed:
I sincerely thank you for this letter, Bro. Siddeeq, and I want to go on the record, stating the sentiments and sensitivities I’ve voiced to my family and Muslim associates since Imam Muhammed’s passing from this material world.
I humbly and thoroughly stand with you, Sis. Khadijah, Sis Fareedah, and your family, on the side of righteousness, in this time of struggle and faith.
If there is anything you need, please don’t hesitate to contact myself or my family for support. We are here for you all, now, and in the times ahead.
It is up to us, the believers in this religion of Al-Islam, to carry on the spirit of Imam W. Deen Muhammed to the best of our ability and fight the schemes of Shaitan in the best of ways: within our souls, with our deeds and with our words.
Anything not built upon the Qur’an, Prophet Muhammad (pbuh), nor the teachings of Imam Muhammed WILL fall. I am only concerned with continuing in the great tradition of erecting a wonderful edifice towards the proper upholding of EVERYTHING Imam W. Deen Muhammed has given us. I speak for myself, my fellow students of Imam Muhammed, and my family.
It deeply pains me to understand, from direct sources during the days following the Imam’s death, and from your letter, not only the total disrespect given towards Sis. Khadijah, your family and Imam Muhammed, but also our community as a whole, by Laila and those working with her towards unrighteous acts.
I not only pray, but will work diligently to the best of my duties, to hold up the clear glass, along with others – representatives of Imam Muhammed’s students – up for this community, as well as the world, to see.
Yours in Al-Islam,
Sis. Taheerah Abdul-Rahmaan
