Dear Believers, Friends, and Fellow Students,

We are now proceeding to the Questions provided for PART II: EVOLUTION OF THE DIVINE MESSAGE in Study Guide 20: Closing The Gap. We encourage you to allocate time over the next few weeks to independently revisit the reading. Please bear in mind that this is part of the Self-Improvement: The Basis for Community Development Course of study. Let us reflect on the words shared by the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan in his introductory letter to this course:

This quickening to life and this process of heeding truth and right guidance is the process that brings about a transformation in the Believer. As you know, mere belief counts for nothing except that it is carried into practice. This phase of our development is designed, by the help of Allah, to bring about a transformation or complete change in our lives. This is done by stimulating self-analysis and self-correction in us. Our Self-Improvement actually brings into fruition the awesome power of Allah (God) to “make complete his (our) whole make.” (Holy Qur’an 75:4)

No Believer is exempt from this study. Those whose desire is to be qualified as laborers, must be foremost in study and self-analysis in this transformation of our lives.

Each student, after studying the principle under analysis, must then analyze self and critique self. The Self-Improvement Study Course, while leading the student to self-examination, first; self-analysis, second; self-correction, third; must simultaneously be therapeutic. Therefore, the student’s use of the study guides must be twofold, consisting of both theory and practice. The practice will refine the theory.
