Famous Elijah Muhammad Quotes

“America represents herself as a Christian nation. … They profess to be a friend and defenders of all peace-loving and freedom-loving people. The only people we really see that they want to be friends of are themselves and their kind. They are really sincere when they say that they are freedom-loving people. Above all, the White man the world over wants to be free to rule and dominate the aboriginal people.”

Elijah Muhammad

Message to the Blackman (1965)

“Don't condemn if you see a person has a dirty glass of water, [….. ] just show them the clean glass of water that you have. When they inspect it, you won't have to say that yours is better.”

Elijah Muhammad

“But let them tell you what type of an Apostle or prophet God promised them. Was it a man from some of the enemy colleges and universities with an arm full of degrees coming from these institutions of learning of the enemy?Let them read their scriptures and see what type of man God promised to choose for a last messenger. How many of the prophets in the past were educated men of the civilization in which they were born before the call of God?”
