Summary: If it is false, Prove It!
Review: The history of man has been interpreted through the ages in so many different forms that to discard the claims in this book without proper research is outright ignorant. Many people deny what Elijah Muhammad was saying without having a full or partial understanding of what he said. One should remember that some of the greatest Black minds in America studied this book. Malcolm X, Muhammad Ali, Minister Louis Farrakhan and many others.
Message to the Blackman in America is A book of enlightenment. It challenges the version of the bible that has been given to us, however, it does not discount it completely. Muhammad gives us a message of Love of self, protection and elevation of the black woman. He teaches duty to prayer and he even lays out an economic blue print for black independence.
There are those that will latch on to the History of Yakub and the History of Musa because that time period is thousands of years before our existence and it is the easiest thing to debate, especailly without the benefit of research. Truly religious scholars still do not agree with scientist and there is disagreement within each group on endless points of history.
But I challenge those who deny the histories in Message to the Blackman to look into it a bit before you right another review. You may very well be surprised.

Summary: This would be a good book for understanding the Nat.O.Ism.
Review: A good textbook to read in order to understand the beliefs of the Nation Of
Islam during the period of the 1960's.
And how the organization gave his follwers that ineffable sense of being,sense of power that binds them together.

AND IF YOU ARE A REGISTERED MEMBER OF THE NATION OF ISLAM THEN THIS BOOK ALSO BREAKS DOWN THE LESSONS YOU HAVE IN YOUR POSSESSION AND IF YOU ARE A 5%ER OR NATION OF GODS AND EARTHS MEMBER THIS BOOK BREAKS DOWN THOSE LESSONS. EVERYONE NEEDS THIS BOOK, IF YOU ARE CHRISTIAN OR SUNNI MUSLIM, OR ONE WHO ADVOCATES A MYSTERY GOD THEN YOU NEED THIS BOOK SO YOU WILL NO LONGER BELIEVE IN SUCH FOOLISHNESS. THIS BOOK ALSO CLEARLY DENOUNCES THE FACT THAT THE NATION OF ISLAM FOLLOWS QURAN AND SUNNAH. THIS BOOK IS THE SUNNAH FOR THE BLACKMAN. THIS BOOK IS ABOUT THE LAST PROPHET OF ALLAH AND THAT IS ELIJAH MUHAMMAD, NOT FARRAKHAN, NOR PROPHET MUHAMMAD IBD ABDUALLAH OF 14 THOUSAND YEARS. SALAAMU ALAYKUM

Summary: This is not Islam
Review: It is unfortunate that throughout the ages countless numbers of persons have been mislead by those who claim to be messengers or prophets of God. The Quran, the final revelation to mankind (and this is attested to by the Quran itself, and by those who believe that it is the true words of the One God) states clearly that the Prophet Muhammad (the son of Abdullah, from the tribe of Quraysh, born in 570 C.E.) is the Seal of the Prophets; therefore no prophet or messenger will be sent after him to mankind. (Jesus, the son of Mary, will however return to the earth as one of the major signs of the last days.) For you non-Muslims the above probably sounds like just more religious talk. For believing Muslims, however, it is imperative that we accept the Quran as true and complete. With this understanding we can easily distinguish false claims from the true. In the case of Elijah Muhammad, his assertions to being the "Messenger of Allah" are an obvious deviation from the truth, proven by the fact that his teachings are diametrically opposed the what true Islam teaches. I won't waste space going into detail on this, because most people who are reading the reviews of this book are probably familiar with his theological ideas. The real suffering of black people in racist America aside, Elijah cannot be lauded for the "good" that he accomplished, for a structure built on a foundation of falsehood in the long-term bears nothing useful. If a person, regardless of his skin color or culture, is searching for the true faith, I recommend that he reads the Quran with an open mind and avoids such works as the book under review. Peace be upon those who follow the right guidance.

Summary: the best
Review: message to the black man is a great read for all black men in america. Elijah Muhammad speaks on race relations, (black on black and white on black), relationships and religion and many other topics that effect us all. This book was written in the 60's and still can be applied to todays life and society. it is amazing how someone with a third grade education (Elijah Muhammad) can write something that is so profound. This book was written over 20 years ago and even though things are so different now (but yet still the same) it can still be used as a helpful guide I recomend this groundbreaking book to anyone who is interested in the TRUTH!!!!!

Summary: Knowledge of Self and God is the best knowledge
Review: Message to the Blackman is the best book in the world. It gives to the Black man and woman in America to keys to open up the truths of who they are, who God is, who the Devil is and so much more. Many may dispute that this is not true Islam, but if you truly study scripture in Bible and Holy Quran you will see the truths come to fruition. Many truths have been locked away for countless number of years from the black man and woman, and the world in general. Many of what we as a society have been taught by white people has been lies due to white supremacy. Message to the black man is an eye opener that tells in plain english what was stolen from us for years and the true knowledge of what is going on in the world. Religion, beliefs and our righteous moral values and birthright was stolen from the black man and woman and Elijah Muhammad through Master Fard Muhammad gave black people back all of this and then some...All praise is due to Allah for these teachings.

Summary: Excellent Reading!!
Review: Peace! This book is probably the most profound writing in the 20th century. The book reads simplisticly so that the average reader can understand, but yet it has such tremendous depth that a scientist can grow from Elijah's teachings. Some whites may be offended by his words, but they need not be. Because, he gives justice to blacks and whites in this book. He actually critizes blacks more in this book!
You must remeber Elijah was standing up since the 1930's. A time that blacks were hung for looking at or commonly called "eye balling" a white woman. Coupled with segregation, and only being maybe 100yrs from chattle slavery. Elijah the master psychologist put a mirror to white people with a writing on it labled devil, and did to whites what they had been doing to blacks since coming on the shores of America. He keep whites out of their Sunday meetings, which angered whites even though they kicked blacks out of their restaraunts and kept them out of their churches. And, at the same time he put up a mirror to blacks and labeled that mirror God. This was to give confidence and definition to a people who for 300yrs were oppressed by slavery, and 100yrs after slavery suffered church bombings, lynching, segregation etc.
So, after analyzing his teaching he was simply was putting in check white superiority, and putting in check black inferority. In essence, giving justice to both races. Some may disagree with Elijah's teaching of the making of the devil, but I say the truth is stranger than fiction.
The Nation of Islam often lambased for teaching a ghetto religion only verifies what Elijah was teaching, and what the Bible teaches. Jesus was not a rich man as a matter of fact he was from the ghetto. According to the bible the rulers at that time asked, "what good can come out of Nazareth." Historically, most if not all great leaders rise from the most oppressed people. Examples range from Jesus,Muhammad, Ghandi, Jesse Jackson, Moses, etc., etc.
Elijah also destroys typical beleifs of God being a spirt, or as he likes to call it a "spook". And, offers Quranic and Biblical references to his findings which challenges not only Christianity, but the Islmaic world also.
In conclusion, excellent reading for anyone regardless of race, religion, or ethic backgound.
