Saviours' Day, Minister Farrakhan & President Ford

In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful...the Best Knower.

As soon as I received news that the 38th President - Mr. Gerald Ford - was going to be laid to rest in the State of Michigan, my mind went immediately to Surah 38 (Sad) and this coming Saviours' Day. Later on, I began thinking about the references to the state of Michigan in the "Problem Book" in our Lessons from Master Fard Muhammad - God in Person.

Submitted for careful consideration:

Saviours' Day 2007 is scheduled to be held in the city of Detroit, Michigan, in the very area where Master W. Fard Muhammad began Teaching our poeple, a little more than 76 (2 x 38) years ago.

The 38th President is, as of the date of this post, soon to be buried in the state of Michigan.

The 38th Surah, "Sad", in the Maulana Muhammad Ali translation, begins with the following introduction:
"The chapter is entitled 'Sad', from its initial letter, which stands for 'Sadiq' or 'Truthful' God. It describes the sufferings of prophets at the hands of their enemies. Even prophets like David and Solomon, who ruled mighty kingdoms, and like Job, who had been granted abundance, did not escape opposition and had to suffer at the hands of their enemies. But as the name of the chapter signifies, Allah was a 'Truthful God', Who at the height of opposition foretold the discomfiture of the enemy, and the final triumph of Truth."

The following Problems in the "Problem Book" make either direct or indirect reference to the State of Michigan, where this coming Saviours' Day will be held, and where the 38th President of this nation (USA) will be buried:
Problem 9
Problem 10
Problem 12
Problem 33

May Allah Bless us to look carefully into, and speak thoughtfully on, this information.
