The Power of Imagination

Our imagination is the factory from which our visions arrive. What I can see, I can be. Albert Einstein once said, “Imagination is more powerful than knowledge.” I have to be able to visualize what I want in my mind before I can make it manifest in the physical world. The Bible Proverbs 29:18 King James Version in part says, “Where there is no vision, the people perish.”

All of our ideas or formed and nourished in our imagination. In order to exist or be, you first must be able to see. There is no being without seeing. Vision = something seen in a dream, trance, or ecstasy; especially a supernatural appearance that conveys a revelation. The act or power of imagination, the act or power of seeing i.e. a sight. As one person once said, “When I visualize, I materialize”.

Napoleon Hill once said, “All impulses of thought have a tendency to clothe themselves in their physical equivalent.” Abundance begins in our imagination and then it materializes in the physical world. Wealth equals Gratitude – Wealth is a state of mind.

Rev. Ike once said, “Money is the getting power of the Mind; Money is the being power the doing power of the mind; Money is the power of acquisition, whatever acquires , whatever gets is money; Mind power is money; self-image is money, because whatever you feel yourself possessing will be brought to you, will be bought for you in mind. Money is the acquiring power of the mind.” Abundance is beyond sight, it’s in the faith realm or the “Mind’s Eye”.

In the book “Dollars want Me; The New Opulence” by Henry Harrison Brown he states that Opulence is righteousness. He also states that we must change our mindset when it comes to the Dollar or money. In this book he states the following rules or mindset we must have concerning money or dollars. (1) Money (The Dollar) represents objective power; (2) Money (The Dollar) represents supply; (3) Money (The Dollar) means or represents opportunity; (4) Money (The Dollar) is the concrete representative of the material supply; (5) Money (The Dollar) stands for individual liberty; (6) Money (The Dollar) has only delegated power; (7) Money (Dollars) are manifestations of the one Infinite Substance as you are, but, unlike you, they are not self-conscious. They have no power till you give them power; (8) Money (Dollars) are machines with power delegated to the by man; and (9) Money (Dollars) are manifestations of the one G-d.

W. Deen Mohammed once said, “The more I prepare for the more I get.” The first step in our preparation for success is having the right vision of how we want our life to be, so we have to prepare our mind for success by visualizing success, reading positive self-motivation books, reading scripture and saying affirmations. Napoleon Hill in “Think and Grow Rich” says, “What You can conceive and believe you must achieve.”

It has been said that Success is when Preparation meets opportunity. So, in order to be successful, we must constantly seek to be better prepared. Prophet Muhammad is reported to have said “Seek knowledge from the cradle to the grave” We must be in a constant quest for knowledge that will improve or expand our thinking. Imam W. Deen Mohammed in an August 15, 1975 Muhammad Speaks Newspaper article entitled “The Plane of The Prophets” said, “…knowledge is the key to the door of kingdoms.”

We must come to the realization that everything we want is already here. We are only limited by the limits of our thoughts. We can have whatever we have the courage to ask for. The Creator wants you to have all the good things that you desire. He has put us in this womb called the multi-verse and supplied it with everything we need. What we want, wants us. In the Book “Think and Grow Rich” by Napoleon Hill he says, “What I can Conceive, and Believe I can Achieve”.

The Three Stages of Creation[1] Fantasy = Build a fantasy of what you want (Visualize it in your mind), Theory = Visualize a concept (way) to turn fantasy into reality, Fact = Fantasy that, that vision has been turned into a form or idea and made into reality.

The Prophet Jesus/Isa (PBUH) told his disciples:

7 Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:

8 For everyone that asked receives; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocked it shall be opened.

(Matthew 7:7-8 King James Version)

North Carolina: Imam who swindled $6M from customers is released from prison early due to Democrats coronavirus policy

But not because he has the coronavirus, just because.

A Muslim leader who spent the past several years leading a small national following from a federal prison has been released early due to the coronavirus.

Imam Earl Abdulmalik Mohammed claims to be the rightful ideological successor of Imam W. Deen Mohammed, the massively influential black Muslim leader who shepherded the Nation of Islam toward orthodox Sunni Islam under a new association, the American Society of Muslims.

Earl Abdulmalik Mohammed, who was W. Deen Mohammed’s national representative for 15 years, was released from custody on May 7 after serving seven years of a nine-year sentence for mail fraud. In 2014, he pleaded guilty to swindling more than $6 million from customers purchasing precious metals online.

The federal correctional complex in Butner, North Carolina, where he was held, has seen one of the largest outbreaks among the country’s federal prisons, with over seven inmates dead and more than 300 having tested positive for the disease at the facility. Like many prison systems around the country, it has begun releasing many non-violent and particularly vulnerable inmates in an attempt to stem the spread of the coronavirus.

Now, Earl Abdulmalik Mohammed has returned to his home in Washington, D.C., where he plans to launch another office and continue his ministry and nonprofit, the Muslim-American Ministry for Human Salvation, outside of prison for the first time. Though he faces mosque closures and restrictions on gatherings and travel, his office says it is not stymied.

"We've been looking forward to this day,” his representative Imam Ibrahim El-Amin said. “There's a lot of work ahead and we intend to get it done."

“The Path to Human Freedom and Dignity”

“Our patriotism is not what some people think it is. Our patriotism is an acceptance of what supports human excellence. We see in the U.S. constitution something that is compatible with our religion and with the concept of man In our Holy Book. So, we identify with the human spirit in the constitution. We cherish it. We think that beautiful concept is responsible for the longevity of the United States and its democracy. patritiosmThese United States have endured, while many Governments and political concepts have fallen and gone. Governments come in and go out with the seasons. It is happening in most of the world. In its essence the constitution is a statement of human life force - an excellence that will be known and accommodated. We believe that it is this precious idea that is central and very basic in the whole political ideology that we call American democracy. That idea says every man is created equal. That idea says that someone some combination of people had given some serious thought to the nature of man.They had concluded that man has a basic unity, a common essential form and likeness, that man is essentially one. It suggests that people may differ because of circumstances, but they are essentially one constituted life and that's what the Holy Qur'an says. The language of the constitution goes on to say that all men have been endowed with certain inalienable rights. We believe that. That's the same reasoning we have in our religion."(Imam W. Deen Mohammed, 03/17/1982 address at Compton Community College)

Allah says in QUR'AN: "It was We Who Created man, and We know what dark suggestions his soul makes to him: for We Are nearer to him than his jugular vein." (50:16)

So do not go searching for G-d out there in the world. He's not sitting somewhere on a star, on a cloud, or some where in a burning bush: the best place to find G-d, is in the innermost depths of your own soul.Allah says in QUR'AN: "It was We Who Created man, and We know what dark suggestions his soul makes to him: for We Are nearer to him than his jugular vein." (50:16)

Prophet Isaiah is considered to be one of the major prophets of the Old Testament, in the book of Isaiah there are several prophecies about the coming of the messiah.

In chapter 42, Isaiah begins with a prophecy for the coming of Prophet Esa may the peace and blessings of Allah ta'ala be upon him. Now after verse number nine we see that Allah declares through Isaiah, the “new things” that are to “spring forth” in the Land of Kedar, the land of Kedar is the Hijaaz and Najd (Arabia). So obviously this prophecy speaks about Prophet Muhammed may the peace and blessings of Allah ta'ala be upon him.

Isaiah Chapter 42, Verses 9-12. Allah declares through Prophet Isaiah;

“Behold, the former things are come to pass, and new things do I declare: before they spring forth I tell you of them. `Sing unto the Lord a new song, and his praise from the end of the earth’, Ye that go down to the sea, and all that is therein; the isles, and the inhabitants thereof. Let the wilderness and the cities thereof lift up their voice, the villages that Kedar doth inhabit: let the inhabitants of the rock sing, let them shout from the top of the mountains. Let them give glory unto the Lord, and declare His praise in the inlands.”

Where the land of Kedar?; Ezekial chapter 27 verse 21 says:

‘Arabia, and including all the princes of Kedar, they occupied with thee in lambs, and rams, and goats; in these were they thy merchants’.

The personality called Kedar in the Bible is that of the grandson of Prophet Abraham (a.s.), through his son Ishmael which is mentioned in the book of Genesis 25:13. Kedar’s descendants had settled in Paran (Sino-Arabian dessert). In the Rabbinic literature Arabia is called the “Land of Kedar”. Prophet Muhammed was a descendant of Kedar. Allah did reveal in the Land of Kedar, through Prophet Muhammed – a direct descendant of Kedar, a ‘New Song’ i.e: The Qur’an (Qur'an). (The Recitation)

This (The Quran) happens to be the only scripture to be revealed in the language of the Kedarites. The verses of the Qur’an are recited like a poem. Nearly 1.9 billion Muslims, residing all over the world, recite this ‘new song’ and Glorify Allah (s.w.t), in their daily five-time prayers. The initial Revelation came to Prophet Muhammed in a cave of Mount Hira near the city of Mecca. There are several mountains near Mecca and during the annual Islamic Pilgrimage called ‘Hajj’, Muslims from all over the world, assemble in Mecca (Becca) and shout Glory to the Lord from the top of Mount Arafat. The pilgrims continuously give Glory to Allah on their way, to and from Mecca.“Muhammad the Prophet , the peace and blessing upon him said, "Everyone of you is a "Rai'ee" and it is translated to mean shepherd. But what is the literal meaning of shepherd in Arabic language? It means one who exercise the power of thought, and arrive at his own opinion or choice. Each one of us has that, and it is our sacred property. So don't be a slave to anybody. Don't listen to me and not use your own mind.

I would rather have you walk out of here and say, " I do not want Imam W Deen Mohammed as my leader anymore." I would rather see you do that, and exercise your own mind, your freedom of choice. Exercise your freedom to think for yourself. I would rather see you do that, than to kill that which is in you and just sit there like a dummy or something, and go out and do everything I say, with no mind of your own.”

THE HIGH ROADS

The four great mountains of social interest is addressed in Al-Qur'an, and Allah calls us who have inclinations to ascend one of those mountains to do so. The upward path to the heights of a mountain requires great struggle, intense attention to the details of the mountain and its vantages and perils, establishing sound footings and learning where to obtain well placed handholds.

Imam W. D. Mohammed identified those four mountains as education, economics, government, and culture, having leadership (four birds) formed by the influences of Abraham's position, or perspectives, regarding their true connections in service to the Will of Allah.

Allah calls on the Believers to ascend the high paths up those mountains, which is difficult, He urges us to engage these nobel struggles He has set as tasks for us. Ascent on those paths involve establishing just and equitable social existence, that guarantees that no member of society suffer deprivation of their human needs, or denial of access to freedom from their wants that are good and healthy.

The mountains we are to take the high roads up are the mountains that give stability to human social life, and that makes possible progress in the excellent development and evolution of human life and civilization.Return to original self is to return to Allah

Elijah Muhammad called us the original man, he wanted us to think of our original selves and come back to our original selves.

The seers believed that when a person comes back to their original self before the world changed them that they don’t only come back to themselves, but they also come back to Allah.

They believe that if you come back to your original self you will discover Allah, you will find Allah there with you because Allah is not in sin. Once you become innocent Allah is there with you. Allah is here always and you should teach your children that

How #BlackIslamSyllabus is Enhancing Islamic Studies – Talking with Dr. Kayla Wheeler

By Layla Abdullah-Poulos

American Muslims comprise some of the most diverse religious experiences in the nation’s faith culture. Constant over-generalizations and stereotypes about American Muslims contribute to misconceptions about who we are, how long we have been here and our influences historically and across social backgrounds. Although Black Muslims make up a large segment of the American Muslim population, with extensive histories and distinctive heritages in the U.S., their voices and contributions (social, scholarly and cultural) that stabilized Islam as an American faith continue to be undervalued and ignored.

Many people inside and outside of American Muslim culture can benefit from developing a deeper appreciation of the complex Black Muslim experience, especially in how Black Muslims resist attempts to confine representation within parameters created by those seeking to pigeonhole us. Assistant professor Dr. Kayla Renée Wheeler at Grand Valley State University in Allendale, MI curates the #BlackIslamSyllabus, a dynamic compilation of historical, social and cultural sources serving as resources to deepen the study of Islam.

“My primary motivation was to show Black Muslims how diverse the Black Muslim experience is,” Dr. Wheeler explains to Haute Hijab. “ Secondly, it was to help address the absence of Black Muslims from classrooms.”

So often, at least in the United States, Black Islam (referring to specific interpretive stances about Islam with regards to various subject matters) and Black Muslims are left out of the classroom. When they are discussed, it’s usually limited to Bilal (RA) or Malcolm X, making it appear that Black Islam exists only in the distant past or contemporary times and can only be viewed from a man’s point of view,” Dr. Wheeler says. “I wanted to encourage professors, journalists, and students to take a broader approach to understand Black Muslims and their contributions to Islam.”

Dr. Kaylee Wheeler

The Challenges of Developing Robust Syllabus Content

Archiving research is no easy feat. Dr. Wheeler spent years and continues to gather resources. She shares with Haute Hijab some of the obstacles she encounters while collecting a massive amount of works:

“The biggest challenge for me is keeping up with all the latest work on Black Islam, both inside and outside of academia.” Dr. Wheeler calls the #BlackIslamSyllabus a living document that requires adding more contributions and perspectives continually. “Every day, new articles and books are published or a musician releases a new album. I try to update every couple of months.

“Also, my expertise is Islam in the Americas; so much of the earliest versions of the syllabus leaned towards the U.S. and Canada. I have worked really hard to be as geographically diverse as possible, but it still leans a bit towards the U.S. I hope other people will fill in the gaps and create their own syllabi.”

The #BlackIslamSyllabus has more than 38 pages with multiple categories holding a range of titles and links. “I have lost count of how many there are,” says Dr. Wheeler. “My favorite sections are ‘Diasporic Linkages,’ ‘Black Muslim Thought’ and ‘Constructions of Race and Anti-Blackness.’ The syllabus also has a list of hashtags, zines and podcasts. I plan on adding a section on COVID-19, because many Black Muslim leaders, like Margari Hill and Kameelah Rashad, are doing important work that needs to be recognized and documented.”

Dr. Wheeler says she strives for inclusion while compiling the syllabus. “I took the broadest definition of ‘Muslim’ and ‘Islam’ as possible, so there is representation from various perspectives including, but not limited to, Sunnis, Shi’a, Ahmadiyya, the Nation of Islam, Dar ul-Islam and the Imam W. Deen Mohammed community. As an Islamic Studies scholar, I think it is important for me not to [arbitrate] people’s self-understanding or religious identities. I included as many groups who identify as Muslim, as well as those who are identified as Muslim, like the Nation of Gods and Earths.

“As someone whose religious beliefs are often viewed as ‘unorthodox,’ I wanted to create a document where I felt represented,” she says. “There are sources about converts/reverts, Muslims with syncretic religious practices, and ‘cultural Muslims.’ Muslims have always been theologically and culturally diverse, and I wanted that represented.”

Dr. Wheeler also says in compiling the syllabus, it was important for her to consider diversity of gender, sexual orientation, age and ethnicity “ to challenge the single narrative approach to how Islam is depicted in the media and in scholarship. Women, members of the LGBT community and young people are some of our most important teachers, but they often go unrecognized in our communities.”

She also expresses a critical need for the diverse types of contributions to the syllabus as well. “It is important to have a broad definition of ‘text.’ In addition to having written work by non-academics, the syllabus includes a list of movies, television shows and photography. I wanted to challenge the narrow understanding of knowledge production that often limits scholarship to professors. People outside academia produce some of the best work on Black Islam.”

The Black Islam syllabus affords a universal resource for all Muslims: “I hope the syllabus helps Black Muslims make deep connections not only [with] their own local community but other Black Muslim cultures and communities,” says Dr. Wheeler. “It is important to celebrate our diversity as well as our commonalities. [For] non-Black Muslims, [the syllabus] shows that there is no excuse not to include Black Muslims in their syllabus, organizational boards or scripts. Black Muslims’ influence [in the United States] is undeniable and dates back to the 610s.”

Support from Academia

Dr. Wheeler provides ways that Muslim and non-Muslim academics can support the syllabus. “Academics can provide more recommendations for other sources to add to the syllabus. Written sources must be in English, but audio and visual sources can be in any language. They can donate to me and help transform the syllabus into a website, which will include a more accessible guide to the sources, a list of Black scholars of Islam, book reviews and video interviews with experts of Black Islam. The money will go towards paying writers, a video editor, interview equipment, and to compensate me for my labor.

“Finally, they can share. After nearly five years since starting the syllabus, it still brings me so much joy to know that people find it useful.”

More about Dr. Kayla Wheeler

Kayla Renée Wheeler is an incoming Assistant Professor of Critical Ethnic Studies at Xavier University in Cincinnati, Ohio. She earned her Ph.D. in Religious Studies from the University of Iowa in 2017. Currently, she is writing a book on contemporary Black Muslim fashion in the United States. The book explores how, for Black Muslim women, fashion acts a site of intra-religious and intra-racial dialogue over what it means to be Black, Muslim, and woman in the United States. She is the author of Mapping Malcolm’s Boston: Exploring the City that Made Malcolm X, which traces Malcolm X’s life in Boston from 1940 to 1953.
