In this edition of The Final Call Cover report, we are analyzing an article from The Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan entitled, “We Must Depend on Allah and Ourselves.” This week’s edition is dedicated to teaching us what to do for ourselves in establishing an independent Nation. I quote,” We cannot build a nation of righteousness depending on the governments of the world, for most of the governments of the world have turned away from Allah (God) and are now suffering great loss.”
“Who is better than Allah (God) to depend on for our sustenance and the granting of our innermost desires? Who knows what is best for us, other than Allah (God)”
“Oftimes we have desires which, if fulfilled, would bring us great sorrow. However, if we are strong enough to desire only that which pleases Allah (God), then we can never suffer disappointment and grief over not fulfilling some cherished desires.”
“Allah (God) teaches us in the Holy Qur’an that He is the Grantor of Security and that He straitens the means of subsistence for whom He pleases. It is He, then, who can cause the Earth to reveal its treasures to us and it is He who can keep us from the treasures of the Earth. So let us depend on Allah and ourselves.”
The Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan
“Why should we depend on ourselves? There is an old saying that God helps those who help themselves; and we are taught in the Holy Qur’an, “Surely Allah changes not the condition of a people until they change their own condition.”
