ATH:Imam W. D. Mohammed(ra) "Civilization and Education: An Islamic Perspective"

"There is no contradiction for anything that Hon. Elijah  Muhammad taught us that was good and this Religion of Al Islam, the Qur’an and the sunnah or the way of the Prophet (PBUH), there is no contradiction, some of us make the mistake of thinking that now that we don’t believe the old way any more we are following the Qur’an as our authority and the way of the Prophet, that we should just forget every thing of the past, that was a big mistake.  I haven’t forget anything of the past that was good, I make an effort to keep all the good from the past, because whatever we got of good it is good in Al Islam.  And we were admired by Muslims from Egypt, Baghdad, what is Iraq, of Pakistain, these were people who visited the Hon. E. Muhammad in his life, during his life time and saw his work.   We were admired by them for having achievements above the standards of the international public of Al Islam.  They said we had achievements and discipline in moral discipline and we had achievements in obedience that was above the standards that they themselves witnessed in the international Muslims community."
