Section 1: The Time And What Must Be Done

THE TIME AND WHAT MUST BE DONE - Part 1

Greetings to you, I am Louis Farrakhan, the National Representative of the Honorable Elijah Muhammad, The Eternal Leader of The Nation of Islam and the Great Preacher of Freedom, Justice and Equality to Black peopleBlack Peopl Rock in America and oppressed people throughout the Earth, and a Great Warner to America and the nations of the Earth.

It is a great honor, a great privilege, and great pleasure for us to come to you via radio, or television or social media, to bring to you a very, very timely message. The title of this message, starting in January 2013, will carry through for the whole year; and that title was given to us by the Honorable Elijah Muhammad:

This is a great subject, and each of us who are viewing these telecasts has something that you and I must do in order to escape the consequences of “The Time.”

There is a Surah (Chapter) in The Holy Qur’an that I shall quote as the basis for this yearlong subject, which is Surah 103 Al-Asr (“The Time”). It reads:

“Bismillah ir-Rahman ir-Rahim

(“In The Name of Allah, The Beneficent, The Merciful.”)

By the time! —Surely man is in loss, Except those who believe and do good, and enjoin one another to Truth, and enjoin one another to patience.”

In this Qur’anic chapter, “Time” is a Yardstick of Measurement of Consequence: (“By the time! Surely man is in loss…”). So, “The Time” will determine: 1) Whether we lose, whether we win; 2) Whether we live, or whether we die; and 3) Whether we suffer privation, or whether we grow in prosperity.

It all depends on what we do with The Knowledge of The Time.
