Part 3, The Process Toward Perfection In The Name of Allah, The Beneficent, The Merciful. I bear witness that there is no God but Allah and Muhammad is His Messenger.  As-Salaam Alaikum! Assignment: July 21, 2023 Dear Believers, Friends, and Fellow Students, We are thankful for the life of Brother Minister Jabril Muhammad and the contributions that has made to our Nation. We are reminded of his impact through his interviews of The Honorable Louis Farrakhan. In particular, the book Closing the Gap has allowed us to study the "Inner Views of The Heart, Mind & Soul" of The Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan. We ask that Allah not deprive us of his reward or make us fall into a trial after him, and continue to grow through the study of his work. In Study Guide 18: Rising Above Emotions Into the Thinking of God, the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan states: “The improper handling of Emotion does not allow us to grow beyond Self. It makes our reasoning subjective and clouds our judgment of individuals, circumstances and events. It makes us judge individuals, circumstances and events by how we are affected personally, thus we never see the bigger picture. Improper handling of Emotion makes us judge selfishly. Our great test today will be whether we can rise above Emotion to begin to think and act more like Allah (God). We are in His classroom. What kind of test has He devised to see if we are ready to think and act on a higher level? It is written in the Holy Qur’an: ‘See they not that they are tried once or twice in every year, yet they repent not, nor do they mind’ (H.Q. 9:126)” Assignment: PART III: THE PROCESS TOWARD PERFECTION Review the reading from pages 19-24 and the Glossary prior to class. If you did not complete Questions 4 & 5 please make sure to do so, then focus your attention on Questions 6 & 7 (on page 25). May Allah continue to bless us with Love and the Light of Understanding! _________________________________________  To join our National Online Study group this Friday, please register in advance for a free Zoom account National Study Group Study Guide 20: Closing The Gap Download Watch. media.noi.org Order. store.finalcall.com letschangetheworldmusic.com Connect with us National Center | 7351 South Stony Island Ave., Chicago, IL 60649 Unsubscribe [email protected] Update Profile | Constant Contact Data Notice Sent by [email protected]
