Amalgamation: Not in our Science

 It may seem hard in todays world were mixed relationships are almost all but normal in our society but this doesn't make it right nor is it something that we should be getting involved in. As a young man I must admit that I like many other kids in my generation freely took pleasure in women of other cultures, races, ethnicities, without much regard for what we were doing. Most Europeans (so-called white people) freely mingled with Asiatic women (so-called black, brown, etc etc people) and the Asiatic men freely partook with European women. We all agreed that it was just a natural way of being and  along the way some babies were born from these various unions. None by me but by friends.  It wasn't until I met Rashad Bey and his teachings of Islam that would change my mind about these types of relationships.

 Rashad Bey use to always say: "Stop chasing women that don't belong to you, it's a foul thing". At first I thought it was a generation thing he was years and years older than me. Then he started laying down the degrees that came from the Moorish Science Temple he told me to read the Circle Seven which I did, I noticed in chapter XLVIII Noble Drew Ali writes "We, as a clean and pure nation descended from the inhabitants of Africa, do not desire to amalgamate or marry into the families of the pale skin nations of Europe". I naturally asked Rashad about that passage, he told me that if you embrace Islam you must live by Allah's laws not the whims of mankind, that the races can coexist but not mix. He then quoted the Qur'an 30:22: And of His signs is the creation of the heavens and the earth and the diversity of your tongues and colors. Surely there are signs in this for the learned. He then stressed that part of overcoming the lower self is not giving in to things that deviate from the will of God, that things have a purpose and meaning he then told me that we are to guard this purpose with our being if we are to uplift falling humanity. He told to to go through the scriptures and you will find the world of God speaking the same truth not just on this issue but on many others, for convenience I will stick to the topic at hand.

 One of the most noticeable group that stay away from mixing are the followers of the Prophet Zoroaster the Parsi. They state that mixing ethnicities, races, and religions would destroy the distinct identity of the different groups of mankind sinking the human family into oblivion. They also state that mixing causes a dilution of faith and weakening of cultural and spiritual bonds.

 The sentiments of the Parsi are alsothe sentiments of the Samaritans and the ancient Israelites according to Deut 23: 2: No one born of a forbidden marriage^[a] nor any of their descendants may enter the assembly of the Lord, not even in the tenth generation. Also in Deut 7:3-4:Do not intermarry with them. Do not give your daughters to their sons or take their daughters for your sons, ⁴ for they will turn your children away from following me to serve other gods, and the Lord’s anger will burn against you and will quickly destroy you. It is interesting how some translate that the children of these unions are bastards meaning unwanted in Gods presence. Ezra speaks out against these unions in Ezra 9:1-2: After these things had been done, the officials approached me and said, “The people of Israel and the priests and the Levites have not separated themselves from the peoples of the lands with their abominations, from the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Jebusites, the Ammonites, the Moabites, the Egyptians, and the Amorites. For they have taken some of their daughters to be wives for themselves and for their sons, so that the holy race has mixed itself with the peoples of the lands. And in this faithlessness the hand of the officials and chief men has been foremost.”  It should also be noted that when Israel returned to the promise land after being exiled in Persia they could not take with them their foreign wives nor could they take the children that these bore them in order to restore the purity and sanctity of the Israelite people. As Israel is an example of how God wants all the nations and peoples to be like we are to take this same stance with our own people. 

 In more recent times Marcus Garvey was opposed to the mixing ideology of Du Boise who taught that mixing of all the peoples would produce a better "American Race". Garvey being a Godly man saw through this deception and spoke out against Du Boise and his insidious scheme stating: That amalgamation would not only destroy the Asiatic race but the European race and that by mixing we are not only doing a disservice to our own people but also to the true meaning of unity and brotherhood. By his own reasoning he concluded that it would lower the standard of manhood leading us to a downward spiral of depravity, losing all sense of civilization.

 I would like to add a quote by Martin Luther KIng "I want the white man to be my brother not my brother in law".

 Noble Drew Ali not only stated in the Circle Seven his dislike for mixing it is even recorded in his sayings " Don't let your brother marry a European woman" Another leader in the Moorish Community when asked about mixing has this to say: " It is in my opinion that every living male and female on earth should choose a mate within their race or national origin because the Great God of Divine Nature made enough for all".

 As brothers and sisters of the world we should heed what our Heavenly Father is telling us. It will not always be popular, it will not always be easy but we must do what we are called to do. I know some will roll the eyes and say whatever, or defend themselves by calling down the name of love or some other view that they use to hide the lust they feel. Or simply because they feel that those I quoted above are unworthy representations of the human condition, or basing your life on religious ideology is wrong but even scientists as reported in Time Magazine are now changing their ounce held belief that race and ethnicities as mere human constructs, many prove through genetics the race, culture, and ethnicity. If these were mere constructs this would be an impossibility. Though humans share a basic code that code is not set up in the same way, some scientists are saying that damage could be done to the human population of mixing continues for a long extended period of time especially on a mass scale. Evolution has a genetic component and it is the reason why some live in tribal societies while others live in settled societies. Everything from literacy rates to social behavior has a part to do with genetics proving that what these men above said, what the books said have a basis in reality and the Master of Reality is telling us not to mess around or we will suffer consequences. We can either heed or not heed, but this is why the Science of Islam teaches that Amalgamation is not proper in our civilization.

Infallibility: Leading people astray

One of the most worrisome ideas in many different religious thoughts is the notion of infallibility meaning that either someone or a group of people are free from all error even if they commit an error it has no barren on them due to their special position with God. My main concern is that this notion of perfection is not found in any of the scriptures it most importantly leads people away from the worship and admiration of the One God. It is a trick of the lower self or the devil if you will to place an idol in front of All Merciful Creator.

In reading the Tanakh, Gospels and Quran nowhere does God declare anyone perfect, without sin or blemish this may seem hard to for many Christians but even Jesus is not considered a perfect role model when he himself says: Why do you call me good do you not know that it is God in Heaven who is good? In fact throughout the Scriptures our Heavenly Father always calls those deemed imperfect, flawed, hopeless, and in some cases not even liked people to bare his message. Now some may want to argue that this is not so but all the Prophets of God had some flaw one way or another. Some could barely talk, others were womanizers, some cast offs but this is whom God calls because they are the perfect example of Gods benevolence. God wants us to know that we too can do what these men have done that they are not above us or out of reach. They are picked precisely because they are marked by something.

This tells us a great deal about God in many ways the first it tells us is that God wants all of us to harkens unto him regardless of obstacles we place before ourselves, or that of society. He is calling the entire world to enjoy this life and eternity so he sent imperfect messengers to deliver his perfect message of repentance and of the consequences of our own folly. For too long have people placed various teachers and organizations on pedestals. For way too long have people believed that they needed someone or something to go through to reach our Master of the Universe. These notions are in direct contradiction of all the scriptures because people have bent them to mean what they really were never meant to mean whether it be about sacrifice in Ancient Israel, the meaning of Jesus life, death and teachings, and the life of Muhammad who God says he is just a man who die like all other men die. None of them were meant to be more than a delivery system for God to use and deliver his Good News.

When we say or believe that someone or something is infallible we are doing a disservice not only to ourselves, our children, our colleges but we are doing a disservice to God because God wants us all to know that he is Creator of all, Judge of all and in the hearts of all no exceptions. When you raise someone or something else up believing you are less than you robe yourself of the beauty and the calmness of our Father. His and it is Him alone that can save us, illuminate us, guide us on the straight path no one else, nothing else can. You can bless the angels, the prophets, say certain prayers it is useless because they can do nothing for you except expose you on the day of Judgment.

  This concept of a perfect being or intermediary is a left over ideal from those pagan times that we must shed if we are to come into the fullness of God that is to have Unity with God. That is what life is about Unity with God to be at peace with our Father and with ourselves if you believe you cannot achieve this then you are destroying your own soul.

All one needs to do is find a quiet place relax and open themselves up to the channels of Heaven and you will feel His presence as you have been guided to do so in your various scriptures. Do this and you will find everlasting peace.
