ATH:Imam W. D. Mohammed(ra) Future for Self in Community Life

And you see the way society has evolved, the way people have come from savagery, animal existence into human intelligence and human society, do you see the way they came into it?

You will see that as they got together to survive in a world that threatened them with natural occurrences and also with wild animals and also with human beings more powerful than they are. So to survive in an environment that threatens their very existence they have had to come together in numbers to build defenses against natural happenings of storms and whatever. And they had to come together to build defenses against, wild people or bad people who would come and take over their lives, they had to build these defenses. In doing this and coming together for the purpose they found that in coming together they have ready workers in a labor pool here. If they could cooperate they could build houses faster, if they could cooperate they could build roadways or pathways faster, they could do everything so much faster to accommodate their needs as a group. So this is the beginning of social evolution, isn't?

They finally learned from observing what is occurring naturally in their development. They learned that this coming together as a social group to live for the interest of the whole, it now has put them into business and they are benefitting from business like they never would have if they had stayed separate and had not been united as a community. How can we reject the way that G-d has shown us and the way that the son of the Hon. Elijah Muhammad is leading us? I don't see any way you can reject it and be good people, you must have some bad in you that is blocking the way." Imam W. D. Mohammed(ra)
