The Prophet Makes a Plea to the Nation

“Our Divine and National Movement stands for the specific grand principles of love, truth, peace, freedom, and justice. And I, the Prophet, am appealing to loyal, faithful Moors, members, and American citizens to help me in my great uplifting acts to uplift fallen humanity among the Asiatic race and nation; for I have suffered severely in the past through misunderstanding of what the movement was dedicated to.

It is the Great God Allah alone that guides the destiny of the Divine and National Movement. I know all true American citizens are identified by national descent names to answer and apply to the free national constitution of this free national republic of the United States of America.

That's why I am calling on all true national citizens to help me morally and financially in the great work I am doing to help this national government. For without a free national name, with a descent flag of your forefathers, there is not a national divine title of the government in which we live.

This is from your true and Divine Prophet unto all American and foreign sympathizers.”
