In the Name of Allah - the Beneficent, the Merciful:
I bear witness that there is no god but Allah,
and I bear witness that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah.
When I was in grade school, there was a game we used to play that was really fascinating to me. It was called, "Pass it down."
The game was a "collective challenge" and was played as follows:
The Teacher would line up all the Students in the class, shoulder to shoulder.
Then, the Teacher would "whisper" a phrase or a sentence into the Ear of a Student at one end of the line.
The RULE was/is, "Take what you heard from the Teacher, after understanding it, and "whisper" it ...only ONCE... into the ear of the student next to you.
That student, having received the communication, is then to "pass down" the communication ...PRECISELY as he/she HEARD it... to the NEXT student; and so on, and so on, until the Message reaches the other end of the Line.
Naturally, the Challenge was to see if, or how well, the Students could PRESERVE the ORIGINAL MESSAGE in the Process of "Passing it down."
99% of the time, when the Message emerged at the other end of the Line, it had been corrupted or distorted BEYOND RECOGNITION, so that it had NO RESEMBLANCE to the ORIGINAL Message.
This process took from 1 to 5 MINUTES...and the Message was CORRUPTED BEYOND RECOGNITION in that short span of time. Of course, the Corruption of the Message could have been Minimized or Corrected if the Teacher intervened at certain intervals to Restore the Message, but the CHALLENGE was, to see if the STUDENTS could PRESERVE the Message.
Which brings us to the PURPOSE of this Post...
ALLAH Says, in the Holy Qur'an, "Surely We are EVER SENDING Messengers." There is also an Hadith wherein the Prophet is reported as saying that Allah (God) would Raise up a "Reformer" at the beginning of every Century to Restore the Religion. The question that should be asked is, "Why?"
Could the Answer to the above question have anything to do with the prediction of Prophet Muhammad (Pbuh) that "three generations" after Him would "no longer be of him"?
Has the Original Message and Spirit of Prophet Muhammad and the Prophets before Him (Pbut) been PRESERVED in the 1,400-year process of "passing it down"? Or has it become necessary for the "Teacher" to "Intervene" to Restore the Purity of the Message?

"12. WE BELIEVE that Allah (God) appeared in the Person of Master W. Fard Muhammad, July, 1930; the long-awaited “Messiah” of the Christians and the “Mahdi” of the Muslims.
"We believe further and lastly that Allah is God and besides HIM there is no god and He will bring about a universal government of peace wherein we all can live in peace together."
