Assignment: April 28, 2023
Dear Believers, Friends, and Fellow Students,
Eid Mubarak! We have come to the close of the Holy Month of Ramadan. We pray that your journey through the Holy Quran and the enlightening course, Self-Improvement: The Basis for Community Development, has rejuvenated and inspired you. May Allah continue to bless us and allow us to grow nearer to Him. We pray that you will continue to implement the good habits and practices that you have adopted during the past 30 days.
Reflect on the following words of The Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan and continue to engage in the study throughout the week.
“This “meat” (Self–Improvement Course) needs to be thoroughly chewed. It begins with our taking of material into the mind and using all that we know and all of our life experience to break it down. By adopting the aforementioned process and then placing this guide in study groups, each one of us taking our turn at exposing our thoughts on the subject matter, this is “group chewing” which aids in “group digestion” of the material.”
~Closing Letter to Study Guide 10
This week with Allah's permission we will continue our study session of Study Guide 20, let’s start our discussion by closing out the latter part of question 4 of PART I: THE ORIGIN AND EVOLUTION OF GAPS and then moving to question 1 of PART II: EVOLUTION OF THE DIVINE MESSAGE found on page 17.
-
PART I, question 4: Do you think the Nation of Islam (in form or focus) has changed since you first came in contact with the Teachings of the Honorable Elijah Muhammad? If so, how has it changed? How has that change affected you?
-
PART II, question 1: When you first accepted the Teachings of the Honorable Elijah Muhammad, was there any part of the theology or program that you had difficulty with? lf so, what was it? Were your questions or concerns ever resolved to your satisfaction?
*Please complete the form contained in the link below, at the close of the study group to assist us in determining if we are ready to move on: http://study.noi.org/status.
May Allah continue to bless us with Love and the Light of Understanding!
