Imam W. D. Mohammed(ra) "Elijahville Jumu'ah" 7/29/83 (Part 3)

"We are gathered here today on this farm that was purchased by the Honorable Elijah Muhammad, the late leader and my father, may God forgive him all his sins and grant him entrance into paradise. His followers were not rich, they were not middle class, they were poor. In fact, they represented the poorest people in the cities and in the towns, and in the country, and they pooled their small monies trusting him as a trustworthy leader. You know we all used to call him honorable, the Honorable Elijah Muhammad, meaning that he was worthy of honor, worthy of respect. He was a man who had proven to us that he could be trusted, that we could trust him as our leader. And he gathered thousands and thousands, and millions of dollars from us--poor people." "Elijahville Jumu'ah" 7/29/83
