however\, perhaps most notable is the fulfillment of the promise God made to Abraham that his descendants would endure physical and mental slavery in a strange land among a strange people—before God Himself would deliver Abraham’s seed and judge the nation they served. \nAnd he said unto Abram\, Know of a surety that thy seed shall be a stranger in a land that is not theirs\, and shall serve them; and they shall afflict them four hundred years; And also that nation\, whom they shall serve\, will I judge: and afterward shall they come out with great substance. -Gen. 15:13 \nMaster Fard Muhammad was born February 26\, 1877 in the Holy City of Mecca. He raised and taught the Honorable Elijah Muhammad\, who dedicated over 40 years of his life to the resurrection of the mentally\, morally\, spiritually and economically dead so-called American Negro. Each year he would convene Saviour’s Day and deliver a major address and expound on the divine wisdom given to him by Master Fard Muhammad. \nAfter the 1975 departure of the Honorable Elijah Muhammad\, in September of 1977\, the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan made the decision to rebuild the work of the Honorable Elijah Muhammad and reestablish the Nation of Islam. \nUnder Min. Farrakhan’s leadership\, Saviour’s Day returned in 1981 in Chicago. In 1983\, the Hon. Min. Louis Farrakhan changed the spelling of the commemoration from Saviour’s Day\, as it had been\, to the plural Saviours’ Day. He explained during a message delivered in Gary\, Ind.\, that the change meant that not only was Master Fard Muhammad the Saviour for the Black Man and Woman of America\, but that the Muslims in the Nation of Islam had the mission of delivering the word and doing the work of resurrection as “little saviours” for the suffering masses of Blacks in America and suffering people around the world. \nThousands now attend the convention\, which has grown to include workshops\, health screenings\, lively discussions\, fashion shows and entertainment\, social and educational activities for children and families\, the Salaam Expo bazaar and closes with a major address delivered by Min. Farrakhan. It is a joyful and spirited occasion that is looked forward to by members of the Nation of Islam and the Black community. \nSome of Black America’s leading political\, social\, business sports and entertainment giants have participated in and supported Saviours’ Day conventions. International guests are featured and come to participate in its full schedule of activities. The advent of the Internet has provided another way for people around the globe to enjoy aspects of the convention and access information. Saviours’ Day has most often been held in Chicago\, but previous gatherings have also been held in Gary\, Ind.\, Detroit\, Los Angeles\, Atlanta\, Washington\, D.C. and an International Saviours’ Day was held in Accra\, Ghana in 1994\, drawing thousands to the Motherland.

The day produced a spirit of brotherhood\, love\, and unity like never before experienced among Black men in America. All creeds and classes were present: Christians\, Muslims\, Hebrews\, Agnostics\, nationalists\, pan-Africanists\, civil rights organizations\, fraternal organizations\, rich\, poor\, celebrities and people from nearly every organization\, profession and walk of life were present. It was a day of atonement\, reconciliation and responsibility. \n“The Million Man March was one of the most historic organizing and mobilizing events in the history of Black people in the United States\,” said Chicago-based Dr. Conrad Worrill\, who was a main organizer of the March and the current president emeritus of the National United Black Front. \nCongress shut down that day and President William Clinton was “out of town.” Mainstream media in American and media outlets from around the world were watching. The world did not see thieves\, criminals and savages as usually portrayed through mainstream music\, movies and other forms of media; on that day\, the world saw a vastly different picture of the Black man in America. The world saw Black men demonstrating the willingness to shoulder the responsibility of improving themselves and the community. There was neither one fight nor one arrest that day. There was no smoking or drinking. The Washington Mall\, where the March was held\, was left as clean as it was found. Two of the best descriptions of the Million Man March include the word “miracle” and the phrase “a glimpse of heaven.” \nAlong with those who attended\, many men\, women and children spent the day at home watching the event on television and participating in the day of fasting and absence. Workers did not go to work that day\, children did not go to school that day and no one engaged in sport or play. \n\nDuring Min. Farrakhan’s message to the millions gathered in the mall and those watching on television around the world that day\, he explained to the world the need for atonement and he laid out the eight steps of atonement. Thus\, for the past 18 years\, people gather\, reflect and observe the Holy Day of Atonement. \nAt the conclusion of the March\, the millions of men repeated a pledge given by Minister Farrakhan that focused on a personal commitment to be responsible and active in improving the Black community. The purpose was for Black men to take responsibility for their own actions and to help develop their own communities\, and to atone for their lack of responsibility. Many of the men assembled took the pledge given that day seriously and have been actively involved in making their word bond ever since. \n“The March changed my life and my perspective of life in so many ways. I (gained) a tremendous commitment to the betterment of my culture\, and a heightened capacity to care and to love. I am now trying to live by the code of honor and the right conditions set forth in the pledge that I took\,” said Glenn Towery\, owner of Fairy God Brother Productions and Film Company\, LLC that produced the DVD\, Long Live the Spirit\, a documentary about the Million Man March. \n“I have formed my own company and am striving to create culturally enriching productions for African Americans and the world. Thank you Minister Farrakhan for being a conduit to God that allowed such a magnificent idea as the Million Man March to come through your person into fruition. Thank you Benjamin Chavis and all of the organizers\, planners and conveners of the Million Man March.” \nImmediately following the March\, roughly 1.7 million Black men registered to vote and organizational memberships skyrocketed—the NAACP\, churches and mosques reported huge increases and the National Association of Black Social Workers reported a flood of 13\,000 applications to adopt Black children. \nThe spirit of the March continues to this day. \n“Since the Million Man March\, October has become a special month for me\,” said Dr. Ayo Maat\, Organizer in Green and Disability Issues. “During the first march\, I kept my children out of school and they stayed up all night and watched the event the entire day without complaint or fatigue. Since then\, I have been working to instill the spirit of atonement and uplift of the race.” \n“The spirit\, energy\, and the ideas that were articulated on that day still resonate among the activists and organizers and thinkers and the masses of Black men who participated in 1995\,” said Dr. Worrill. “Although it may not appear that the energy and spirit and impact of that day is still with us; it has manifested itself with us today as Black men are engaged in numerous projects inspired by the Million Man March that can be documented.” \nIn another public display of accountability\, the Million Man March was the first ever public march to provide an independent Financial Audit of its operations.

The exact date of his birth remains unknown because record keeping in rural Georgia for the descendants of slaves was not kept current\, according to historians and family members. Nevertheless\, the Honorable Elijah Muhammad said his birth took place some time in the first or second week of October in 1897 and set forth Oct. 7th as the anniversary date of his birth. \nIndeed\, life in the rural South at the turn of the century was quite hard. Poverty and survival were at war with each other. Elijah Poole\, the son of a minister\, and whose parents\, William (later named Wali) and Marie Poole\, had 12 other children\, had to quit school after barely finishing the third grade to work in the fields as a sharecropper so his family could eat. \nJust before the roaring twenties came in\, Elijah Poole married the former Clara Evans\, also of Georgia. They had eight children\, Emmanuel\, Ethel\, Lottie\, Nathaniel\, Herbert\, Elijah\, Jr.\, Wallace and Akbar. \nIn April 1923\, Elijah Poole moved his young family from Macon\, Georgia\, where he worked for the Southern Railroad Company and the Cherokee Brick Company to Detroit\, Mich. Black families\, like the Pooles\, were leaving the south\, at that time\, in search of better economic and social circumstances. Detroit was a bustling upwardly mobile city with its burgeoning auto industry. \nThe stock market crash in 1929 was the gateway to economic misery that sparked the fuel of the “Great Depression” of the 1930s. Moreover\, America’s racial situation continued its downward spiral. Lynchings\, race riots and other forms of terrorism against Blacks continued unabated. But Detroit\, with its huge population of 1.5 million people including 250\,000 thousand Blacks\, was beginning to see changes in its social scene. \nOn July 4\, 1930\, the long awaited “Saviour” of the Black man and woman\, Master W. Fard Muhammad\, appeared in this city. He announced and preached that God is One\, and it is now time for Blacks to return to the religion of their ancestors\, Islam. News spread all over the city of Detroit of the preachings of this great man from the East. Elijah Poole’s wife first learned of the Temple of Islam and wanted to attend to see what the commotion was all about\, but instead\, her husband advised her that he would go and see for himself. \nHence\, in 1931\, after hearing his first lecture at the Temple of Islam\, Elijah Poole was overwhelmed by the message and immediately accepted it. Soon thereafter\, Elijah Poole invited and convinced his entire family to accept the religion of Islam. \nThe Founder of the Nation of Islam gave him the name “Karriem” and made him a minister. Later he was promoted to the position of “Supreme Minister” and his name was changed to Muhammad. “The name ‘Poole’ was never my name\,” he would later write\, “nor was it my father’s name. It was the name the white slave-master of my grandfather after the so-called freedom of my fathers.” \nMr. Muhammad quickly became an integral part of the Temple of Islam. For the next three and one-half years\, Mr. Muhammad was personally taught by his Teacher non-stop. The Muslim community\, in addition to establishing religious centers of worship\, began to start businesses under the aegis of economic development that focuses on buying and selling between and among Black companies. Mr. Muhammad establishes a newspaper\, “The Final Call to Islam\,” in 1934. This would be the first of many publications he would produce. \nMeanwhile\, Mr. Muhammad helped establish schools for the proper education of his children and the community. Indeed\, the Muslim parents felt that the educational system of the State of Michigan was wholely inadequate for their children\, and they established their own schools. By 1934\, the Michigan State Board of Education disagreed with the Muslim’s right to pursue their own educational agenda\, and the Muslim Teachers and Temple Secretary were jailed on the false charge of contributing to the delinquency of minors. Mr Muhammad said he committed himself to jail after learning what had happened. \nUltimately\, the charges were later dropped\, and the officials were freed and Mr. Muhammad received six months’ probation to take the Muslim children out of the Islamic school and put them under white Christian teachers. “This I did not do\,” he said. He moved to the city of Chicago in September of that same year. His Teacher\, Master W. Fard Muhammad\, was also harassed by the police and was forced out of Detroit and moved to Chicago where he continued to face imprisonment and harassment by the police. In 1934 Master W. Fard Muhammad departed the scene and left the Honorable Elijah Muhammad with the mission of resurrecting the Black man and woman. \nBy 1935\, Mr. Muhammad faced many new challenges. His teacher had instructed him to go to Washington\, D.C. to visit the Library of Congress in order to research 104 books on the religion of Islam\, among other subjects. Also\, after assuming the leadership of the Temple of Islam by the order of the Founder of the Nation of Islam\, Mr. Muhammad faced a death plot at the hands of a few disgruntled members. Mr. Muhammad avoided their evil plan and went to Washington\, D.C. to study and build a mosque there. He was known under many names\, “Mr. Evans\,” his wife’s maiden name\, “Ghulam Bogans\,” “Muhammad Rassoull\,” “Elijah Karriem” and “Muhammad of ‘U’ Street.” \nConsequently\, Mr. Muhammad\, while in Washington\, D.C. Was arrested on May 8\, 1942\, for allegedly evading the draft. “When the call was made for all males between 18 and 44\, I refused (NOT EVADED) on the grounds that\, first\, I was a Muslim and would not take part in war and especially not on the side with the infidels\,” he wrote in “Message To The Blackman.” “Second\, I was 45 years of age and was NOT\, according to the law\, required to register.” \nMany other male members of the Nation of Islam at that time were imprisoned for being conscientious objectors to World War II. After World War II ended\, Mr. Muhammad won his release from prison and returned to Chicago. From Chicago\, the central point of the Nation of Islam\, Mr. Muhammad expanded his membership drive to new heights. Among the many new members enrolled in the ranks of Islam included Brother Malcolm X and his family. \nDuring the 1950s\, Mr. Muhammad promoted Min. Malcolm X to the post of National Spokesman\, and began to syndicate his weekly newspaper column\, “Mr. Muhammad Speaks\,” in Black newspapers across the country. Membership was increasing when\, in 1955\, Minister Louis Farrakhan\, then Louis Walcott\, an entertainer\, enrolled in the Nation of Islam after hearing Mr. Muhammad deliver a speech in Chicago. \nPersecution of the Muslims continued. Members and mosques continued to be attacked by whites in Monroe\, La.\, Los Angeles\, Calif.\, and Flint\, Mich.\, among others. Publicity in the white owned and operated media began to circulate anti-Nation of Islam propaganda on a large scale. By the early 1960s\, the Readers Digest magazine described Mr. Muhammad as the most powerful Black man in America. In Washington\, D.C.\, Mr. Muhammad delivered his historic Uline Arena address and was afforded presidential treatment\, receiving a personal police escort. \nSubsequently\, television commentator Mike Wallace\, in conjunction with Louis Lomax\, a Black journalist\, aired the documentary\, “The Hate That Hate Produced\,” on a local New York City station. The documentary misrepresents the message of the Nation of Islam\, calling it a hate teaching. James Baldwin\, a famous Black author\, released the book\, “The Fire Next Time\,” based largely upon his interview with Mr. Muhammad. At the same time\, white political leaders such as Senator Al Gore Sr.\, began to denounce the Nation of Islam and hold hearings on alleged “un-American” activities. Minister Louis Farrakhan and the ministers of Islam defended the Honorable Elijah Muhammad and the Nation of Islam against these attacks in mass media in their public speeches\, written editorials and other public relations thrusts. \nBy 1964\, Minister Malcolm X decided to separate from the Nation of Islam and formed his own religious and political organization. His very public defection from the Nation of Islam was based on his misinterpretation of the domestic life of the Hon. Elijah Muhammad Nevertheless\, the atmosphere of rancor on both sides made ripe the environment for the secret police to meddle in the affairs of the Nation of Islam\, according the late attorney\, William Kuntsler. Mr. Kuntsler cited a declassified memo obtained through the Freedom of Information Act that revealed that the U.S. Government played a role in the 1965 assassination of Brother Malcolm X. \nAfter the assassination of Brother Malcolm X\, the New York mosque was fire bombed and the Muslim community was reeling. Mr. Muhammad then dispatched Minister Louis Farrakhan to New York City to take over the mosque there and begin the rebuilding effort. In 1965\, the Honorable Elijah Muhammad promoted Minister Louis Farrakhan to the post of National Representative. \nRev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and the Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad meet in 1966. \nBy the mid-sixties\, Mr. Muhammad’s ever-growing Islamic movement extended itself to more than 60 cities and settlements abroad in Ghana\, Mexico\, the Caribbean\, and Central America among others places\, according to the Muhammad Speaks newspaper\, the religion’s chief information apparatus. \nA host of Islamic and African governments received the Honorable Elijah Muhammad and donated generously to his mission. He visited the Holy City of Mecca where he performed “Umrah” (which is Pilgrimage to Mecca at a time other than the “Hajj season”) during his trip to the Middle East in 1959 and advocated worldwide brotherhood and sisterhood. \nEvery February 26\, he brought together the faithful for Saviour’s Day conventions in Chicago to remember his Teacher’s birthday\, to re-emphasize his message of moral and spiritual renewal and to announce his plans and agenda for the upcoming year. Economic development combined with moral and spiritual renewal began to show signs of progress with the establishment of farms\, livestock and vegetable cultivation\, rental housing\, private home construction and acquisitions\, other real estate purchases\, food processing centers\, restaurants\, clothing factories\, banking\, business league formations\, import and export businesses\, aviation\, health care\, administrative offices\, shipping on both land\, sea and air\, and men’s and women’s development and leadership training units. In 1972\, the Honorable Elijah Muhammad opened a $2 million mosque and school in Chicago. During this important grand opening of Mosque No. 2\, he praised and let it be known who his top helper was in his work. \nHe asked Min. Farrakhan to come before the religious community and then the following announcement while digressing from his previously stated remarks: “I want you to remember\, today\, I have one of my greatest preachers here-what are you hiding behind the sycamore tree for brother? (He chuckled)-c’mon around here where they can see you. (A rousing round of applause ensued). \n“We have with us today\,” the Messenger continued\, “our great national preacher. The preacher who don’t mind going into Harlem\, New York\, one of the most worst towns in our nation or cities. It is our brother in Detroit and Chicago or New York. But\, I want you to remember every week he’s on the air helping me to reach those people that I can’t get out of my house and go reach them like he. \n“I want you to pay good attention to his preaching. His preaching is a bearing of witness to me and what God has given to me\,” he declared. “This is one of the strongest national preachers that I have in the bounds of North America. Everywhere you hear him\, listen to him. Everywhere you see him\, look at him. Everywhere he advises you to go\, go. Everywhere he advises you to stay from\, stay from. For we are thankful to Allah for this great helper of mine\, Min. Farrakhan.” (Another rousing round of applause ensued). “He’s not a proud man\,” he said. “He’s a very humble man. If he can carry you across the lake without dropping you in; he don’t say when you get on the other side\, ‘You see what I have done?’ He tells you\, ‘You see what Allah has done.’ He doesn’t take it upon himself. He’s a mighty fine preacher. We hear him every week\, and I say continue to hear our Min. Farrakhan. I thank you.” \nIn watching Minister Louis Farrakhan and the followers of the Hon. Elijah Muhammad\, the legacy of the Nation of Islam continues to make unlimited progress as witnessed in the miracle of the Two Million Man March among other truly amazing accomplishments. \n URL:https://noiatlanta.org/event/birth-anniversary-of-the-most-honorable-elijah-muhammad/ LOCATION:GA ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://noiatlanta.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/hem_200x308.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20180704 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20180705 DTSTAMP:20260709T060635 CREATED:20180724T071825Z LAST-MODIFIED:20180724T072000Z UID:14733-1530662400-1530748799@noiatlanta.org SUMMARY:Independence Day DESCRIPTION:The Nation of Islam observes the day that founder\, Master Fard Muhammad made Himself know\, July 4\, 1930. “We Believe that Allah (God) appeared in the Person of Master W.

Fatwas have been issued declaring that Muslims who live in regions with a natural phenomenon such as the midnight sun or polar nightshould follow the timetable of Mecca\,[11] but the more commonly accepted opinion is that Muslims in those areas should follow the timetable of the closest country to them in which night can be distinguished from day.[12][13][14] \nWhile fasting from dawn until sunset\, Muslims refrain from consuming food\, drinking liquids\, smoking\, and engaging in sexual relations. Muslims are also instructed to refrain from sinful behavior that may negate the reward of fasting\, such as false speech (insulting\, backbiting\, cursing\, lying\, etc.) and fighting except in self-defense.[15][16] Food and drinks are served daily\, before dawn and after sunset\, referred to as Suhoor and Iftar respectively.[17][18] Spiritual rewards (thawab) for fasting are also believed to be multiplied within the month of Ramadan.[19] Fasting for Muslims during Ramadan typically includes the increased offering of salat (prayers)\, recitation of the Quran[20][21] and an increase of doing good deeds and charity. \n \nSOURCE: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ramadan URL:https://noiatlanta.org/event/the-holy-month-of-ramadan/ LOCATION:GA ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://noiatlanta.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/o-MUSLIMS-HAPPY-facebook.jpg END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
