My Journey
This is Why I Do What I Do.
Running After My Children, I Ran Into My Divine Purpose
My Journey In Education Began...
Jan. 19, 2018
Allah is truly God! I, like many of you had young Muslim children who were drowning in the public-school system. One day my oldest daughter came home and told me and my husband that she felt like she was living a double life – a Islamic life at home and living in a jungle when she went to school. This was in 7th grade. She and her younger brother had classmates that were already pregnant in 6th grade by another classmate. My son had an openly gay male teacher with a tongue ring before it was even en vogue. That was 20 years ago. It is only by the grace of Allah that they made it. But their journey was not with bumps and bruises with lasting residual effects. In spite of it all, Allah spared them.
Me and my husband raised 4 children in this confusing world of Satan, but we became wiser and more knowledgeable about rearing children as time went on. When we registered in the Nation of Islam, in 1997, our children were at different stages in their development. The oldest was 10 and the youngest was 3 years old. We had started conforming our family’s lives and values 2 years earlier when we started the Process. The challenges we had raising our children and the solutions that we ultimately developed effected our children in different ways given their ages. If this was or is your story, you know what I mean.
Watching our older children struggle so hard in the public-school system and being pulled away from us, we were not willing to take the chance on the youngest. First, we started her in an International Islamic School at 7 years old, where both my husband and me taught the second and third year she was in school. I also pulled my oldest out of the public high school and had her attend school with me, in my class so I could keep a watchful eye over her. The next year my third son started drowning in the system, so I brought him with me. By that time, we have 4 Registered Members of the Nation of Islam teaching full-time at the school and had almost 10 of our children enrolled in the school. When year 3 came, we decided that it was time to strike out and open a school for our children under The Teachings of The Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad. That we did! We contacted National Headquarter and Sister Director Emeritus Shelby Muhammad told us what to do and how to go about setting up the school. We had the school up and running in 3 months. I served as the president of school council and the first Muhammad University of Islam Student Directress in the city of Baton Rouge, Louisiana. All total I served for 5 years as directress. I learned lots of lessons along the way.
I have a degree in Print Journalism and was a senior in college pursuing my Physics degree when I had to make some serious decision to save my children. I like to say that I stumbled in the room of education trying to save my children. I didn’t choose to be a teacher. Teaching chose me. Once I started teaching in 2001, I got the “bug” and found my life’s passion – My Mission and Assignment.
My personal journey in education based on the Supreme Wisdom Lesson and The Teachings of The Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad, has taken me places that I would have never imaged in my wildest dreams – from being invited by The Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan to develop a National Muhammad University Curriculum based on the Teachings of The Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad and The Supreme Wisdom Lesson, given to the Lost-Found Nation of Islam by Our Saviour, W. F. Muhammad (Master Fard Muhammad), Allah in Person, to being invited by The Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan to interview for the position of Student Director at Muhammad University (Headquarters) and serving as the Saviours’ Day Ministry of Education workshop coordinator 2016 and 2017. Who would have believed! I just blindly stumbled into a room running after my lost children.
After 7 years of teaching at the International Islamic school Muhammad University of Islam and working for the California Institute of Technology (Caltech), serving as a science education outreach coordinator for LIGO Lab Observatory, upon the call of The Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan to save our children, I decided to give up my position at LIGO, go back to school to purse my degree in science education return to the position of directress at Muhammad University of Islam in Baton Rouge. I really did know what or why, but I just knew that I had to. Dr. Larry was now the director of Muhammad University of Islam, Chicago and The Minister of Education. I was able to learn from him and was given the opportunity to present at 3 of the National Educational Challenge conferences. I am truly blessed to have been afforded the opportunities that I have had along the way. I don’t take them for granted. Many people join the Nation of Islam and never get some of the opportunities that I have been afforded, especially being that I wasn’t even looking for them. All I wanted to do is save my children. That’s all. Not all of my experiences have been glitz and glamour hobknobbing with the stars, I have had my share of challenges along the way. It is really an educational challenge. I have learned a lot from starting a school from scratch two times with no money, develop a rigorous academic program and curriculum for our students, establishing academic standards and accountability, dealing with matters of roles with student laborer and the school – matters of policy, budgets and finances, national reporting…
Oh, did I mention that I have served and am still serving as the M.G.T. & G.C.C. Student Captain along the way. This year marks my 18th year of service. Every millisecond of my time has been worth it. I have published an almost thousand-page curriculum, Message to the Blackman in America Comprehensive Curriculum, Supreme Wisdom Lessons Curriculum Coloration and many more publications based on the Supreme Wisdom Curriculum and research on Independent Black Education and the Muhammad University of Islam.
Now - the feat I am most proud of - I have 4 wonder and dynamic children who love their mighty Nation of Islam. The oldest two are known as the Drop Squad. They are dynamic rap ministers and have produced 2 mix tapes based solely on The Teachings of The Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad and two videos. The younger two are power and awesome human beings as well. And they have given me 4 beautiful grandchildren who were all born free – they were born Muhammads and love being Muslims. Nothing I could have done in this life could compare to the blessing children and grandchildren reaping the blessings of Islam as taught and exemplified by The Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad and The Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan. Now that my children are grown and raising their own children this is what I believe that Allah had lead me to do. Now I want to help you figure this educational challenge out so that your children do not have to encounter what my children had to endure in this more sinful world. This lead me to opening The Supreme Wisdom Educational Center. I, along with my team, are educational consultants. Our specialty is curriculum development based on Teachings of The Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad and The Supreme Wisdom Lesson. The Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan challenged us to develop a new educational paradigm. We have developed educational materials being used in school around our Nation and conducted a two-year pilot of The Supreme Wisdom Curriculum. I personally taught the curriculum for two years and conducted the teacher profession development for The School of Original Thought in Baltimore, MD. We also offer a package called school in a box to assist you with setting up your own Independent Black School, either an Muhammad University of Islam or an affiliate school.
You can learn more about me at Supreme Wisdom Education Center, LLC, but I now want to turn this story around to you, because my success with rearing my children is to HELP YOU (US) TO ESTABLISHING THE KINGDOM OF GOD on Earth through your children.
Here's my promise to you: I'm committed to giving you the tools you need to make the paradigm shift to the curriculum that is rooted in what God (Allah in the Person of Master Fard Muhammad) brought which will make us and our children and grandchildren into the new and perfect rulers of a new world. I'm committed to your success, because your success is all of our success.
The BIG question is: can you make this same promise and commitment to yourself?

The Paradigm Shift Requires That We All Come As Little Children
Students and Teachers...
Feb. 2, 2018
In the Book of Matthew the 19 chapter Jesus is talking to his disciples about the principle of sacrificing the things of this world to be made perfect. He was explaining that submission is hard, except for the humble ones. Jesus compared the "little children" to the kingdom of heaven. Little children or young children up to the age of 6 years old are so submissive that if the right spiritual food is given to them, they will be made perfect. Master Fard Muhammad came to do just that. He came to make us in the new and perfect rulers of a new world - the kingdom of heaven. But we have to sacrifice. We have to put our faith to an exchange. Our children are the have to be brought to Jesus or The Teachings of The Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad at a young age so that they will have the program installed within them to become gods. That's what it meant when Jesus laid hands on them.
Now the young man on the other hand asked Jesus what he could do to have eternal and Jesus told him to do the law. He said that he was doing the law. That's like some of us - The followers of The Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan. We can say his followers now because it has been 40 years since his father and teacher, The Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad, departed. Coming under the Teachings of The Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad, we have to adhered to the Restrictive Law of Islam and it kept us from breaking the Mosaic Law. Then Jesus told the young man to give away wealth of this world that he acquired for the treasure in heaven and come and follow him. The young man's did not want to give his wealth away to the poor and follow the Master. The young departed Jesus.
Following Jesus to heaven requires a paradigm shift. It requires a new way of thinking and a new mind. We have to bring our children to Jesus to be made perfect because they will show us how to submit and come the Jesus as little children to learn what we do not know so that we too might see the kingdom of heaven. With man this might or might not be possible but with Allah - All things are Possible.
13 Then were there brought unto him little children, that he should put his hands on them, and pray: and the disciples rebuked them. 14 But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven. 15 And he laid his hands on them, and departed thence. 16 And, behold, one came and said unto him, Good Master, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life? 17 And he said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God: but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments. 18 He saith unto him, Which? Jesus said, Thou shalt do no murder, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, 19 Honour thy father and thy mother: and, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. 20 The young man saith unto him, All these things have I kept from my youth up: what lack I yet? 21 Jesus said unto him, If thou wilt be perfect, go and sell that thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come and follow me. 22 But when the young man heard that saying, he went away sorrowful: for he had great possessions. 23 Then said Jesus unto his disciples, Verily I say unto you, That a rich man shall hardly enter into the kingdom of heaven. 24 And again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God. 25 When his disciples heard it, they were exceedingly amazed, saying, Who then can be saved? 26 But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible.
Looking Ahead to 2018...
Feb. 16, 2018
I am starting to plan for 2018. In 2018 we plan to take the show on the road and travel around the country and even around the world. After Saviours' Day I will be traveling with my family for a 10 day vacation to Asia. All Praise is due to Allah! This will be my first time abroad and who better to spend it with than three of my children, daughter-in-law and two grandchildren. While I am in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysian I plan to sight-see but I also want to take time to study their school system. Kuala Lumpur has a literacy rate of 97.5%. That's higher than in the United States.
When we return to the States in March, we plan to have a workshop tour, online training webinars and more.
Why the Pink and Gold for The Supreme Wisdom Educational Center Company Colors?
March 2, 2018
Simply put...Pink is my favorite color. Pink makes me feel good. It makes me happy and inspired. But there is more to the color than just how it makes me feel. Pink is the color for love. Love is not a "feeling" but love - Real Love - according to The Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan - is a Force. Love is the Creative Force behind the Universe. The Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan stated the Love is also Duty. God is Love. The preponderance of love comprises Allah's chief attributes. Ar-Rahman, Ar-Rahim and Rabb all are words rooted in love. (See the Maulana Muhammad Ali Translation of the Holy Qu'ran footnotes from Surah Al-Fatihah or The Opening - Chapter 1.)
On the website, Colors-Meanings.com, the spiritual meaning of the color pink represents caring, compassion and love. The pink color stands for unconditional love and understanding, and is associated with giving and receiving care. Since pink is a combination of red and white, both colors add a little to its characteristics. It gets the lust for action from the red color, and the white color gives it an opportunity to achieve success and insight. Passion and power from the color red, softened with the purity and openness of the white color completes pink color meaning. The deeper the pink color, the more passion and energy it radiates.
It is out of Love that we work. It is out of love that we teach. In love we have our being.
Pure gold is a perfect transmitter of electricity. Gold is a soft and malleable metal. It is used in electronics for it's conductivity property. The purer the gold from impurities, the more it can conduct electricity. The Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan said that as leadership we are not effective because we don't love enough. The source of all love is God (Allah). Our hearts (consciousness) is the porthole though which God shares Himself with us. There is a saying, his or her "heart is as good gold." The human being contains the essence of God within and if we subordinate the ego or persona to The God within, God will come across our being. It is through the purification of the heart that we are able to reflect the light of Allah (God) in our person.
An Education From God for gods...
March 16, 2018
Like many Believers, I had a providential birth into the Teachings of The Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad. I started my Orientation and Processing Class in 1996, Registered on February 8, 1997 and received my X. My Lieutenant told me, "Welcome Home" when I successfully recited my Questions and Answers of The Student Enrollment and Actual Facts. Saviours' Day 1997 was unparalleled, in my opinion, and has shaped my view on The Teachings and the world ever since. That Saviours' Day was a watershed event in my life as well as The Nation of Islam. That year we received Study Guide 19: The Knowledge of God as a Saviours' Day Gift and we were able to get a hardbound copy of The Supreme Wisdom Lessons. That was prime objective #1 for me, to get my hands on a Supreme Wisdom book.
I had never experienced anything like it before in my life! The 97' Drill Competition, the workshop, vending, everything was amplified in my mind. THE BELIEVER'S MEETING!!! Oh My Allah. Unforgettable! On February 22, 1997 I went from Deborah "X "to Deborah "Muhammad" in two weeks from the time I recited. I just made it in the door before it closed. The Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan has not giving out names at Saviours' Day like that since. Unbelievable, Right? The crowning event was the Saviours' Day Lecture. It was the capstone on the whole weekend. Heads of state from around the world spoke before The Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan. Could you imagine how this effected me? A newly Registered young Muslim. The Minister's lecture did not have a title. He called it A Saviours' Day Gift! That's exactly what it was. At least for me. For me, this is where I received my assignment although it would take years to understand it. I left Chicago with my Supreme Wisdom Lessons in my hand, my new Study Guide, the Saviours' Day lecture to study and an experience that no amount of money could have bought me that experience.
Shortly after I returned home, my mother fell ill and passed in July. May Allah be pleased with her soul. At that time, I decided to leave my job and give up the comfort of this world to go on a two year study. I told my husband that I was leaving this world and when I go back, I am going to be "Muhammad." I told him that I wanted to be a full-time Muslim. Whatever that meant. LOL! Nonetheless, I went into a two year daily study of The Supreme Wisdom Lessons, books of The Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad and The Self-Improvement Study Guides 1-19, tapes and lectures of The Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan and the weekly columns of Brother Minister Jabril Muhammad, "Farrakhan The Traveler" and Mother Tynnetta Muhammad, "Unveiling The Number 19," and at least 2 daily newspapers. At the end about one and a half years of daily study and working in The Mission of The Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad, it came to me to go back to school. A thought came in my mind to me to go back in school in Astrophysics. I don't know what voice was speaking to me but only God, His Messenger and The Minister could inspire me to major in Physics because I hated mathematics. I had never passed Algebra in high school nor gone higher in mathematics than that, but when I read "Mathematics is Islam" in The Supreme Wisdom in Problem No. 13, it did something to me. I loved Islam so much that I was crazy enough to believe that my love of Islam could make me overcome my hatred for mathematics. And it did just that. I took College Algebra, Trigonometry, Calculus I, Calculus II, and Calculus III. over 53 hours of Physics, Economics, 3 semester of French, on and on and on.... When I last checked, I had over 300 hours of Undergraduate credit hours. I was veraciously taking classes. One semester go and override to take 21 hours with 4 small children at the time and a husband in law school. Crazy I know. I even took a French course and Economics course during a Maymester or two week session where we had a test everyday for two weeks and made an "A" in Economics - the second highest grade in the class. Why I am telling you this and what does it have to do with "An Education from God for gods?" Well, in retrospect, my study of Islam for the 2 year period primed my mind for learning and mastering the subjects.
What Allah brought to us in the form of The Supreme Wisdom Lessons is an educational framework designed to reprogram the mind and consciousness of the Black man. The base of my learning in college was from God Himself. So when I went back to school, I filtered everything that I learned through the lens of The Teaching of The Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad with the divine guidance of The Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan. All Praise is due to Allah! Allah was making me over. He came to make us into gods, children of the Most High God. Master Fard Muhammad made a god in the person of The Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad as our guide. The Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad only went to the forth grade of school and was made into a god with this Wisdom. Then in turn, The Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad made gods. He made or "cracked" an Atom named Farrakhan. The Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan. Cracking an atom releases the atomic energy contained within it. Minister Farrakhan is exercising the power and force of the Will God in his person among us today. He is a god for us to study and follow.
The Supreme Wisdom Educational Center exist to help teachers see the Light of the truth contained within the Lessons and use it in their classrooms to activate the god force and will within their students.
I AM a Changed Person
March 30, 2018
Today I have pressed the 'play" button on my life. Life is now. Its not yesterday. Its not tomorrow. It is NOW! As-Salaam Alaikum World! I am here and I am alive. I am back from overseas and ready to work harder than forever!
I have seen and experienced so much so much in 30 days that I will never be the same. Allah blessed me to be the coordinator of the Saviours' Day 2018 Ministry of Education Workshop for the 3rd year. What an honor and as well as a privileged. How many people get an opportunity to do that? It is surreal. Then immediately following Saviours' Day I was blessed to travel to the far east to Kuala Lampur, Malaysia and Bangkok, Thailand for 15 days. As you might see, I was glowing when I came back. That glow is the Light of Allah! I have been changed. I got the opportunity to go to the top of the world. For three days we stayed in Genting Highlands, Malaysia on a mountain top hotel. The perspective of the world changes everything. Imagine waking up in the clouds. That experience was eye-opening and taught me much.
Let's Get the Obvious Questions Out the Way...
April 13, 2018
Let's Get the Obvious Questions Out the Way... "Who are you to think that you are qualified to embark on developing a curriculum based on The Supreme Wisdom Lessons?" "Who gave you the authority?" "How do you know you are on the right course?" I know... I know... I know... I have heard it all before and have even asked myself the same questions. Well it’s been 11 years since I was in a private curriculum meeting with The Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan where I along with many others committed to making the curriculum a reality. Personally, as well as collectively, I and we have been working to make the curriculum a reality over a decade. Some of us have stopped working on this project and moved on to other things, but as for me, I have just been chipping away at it little by little. Although not perfect, it is a start. A very comprehensive yet imperfect start. However, for the most part, the curriculum has just been sitting in my computer waiting for approval or some type of feedback. We have piloted it, conducted workshops based upon it and have even marketed it one Saviours' Day to see if it would get it adopted by some schools. The curriculum was well-received, and we had very favorable feedback. But what is the holdup then? Why haven't you put it out or shared it with others? Do you really believe in it or is it just a pie in the sky, Utopian dream? Well in short, the holdup is me. After much prayer, thought and consultation, I have decided to move forward. I understand that this is not a play thing, but what we have to offer to the furtherance of the curriculum project, I believe is invaluable. The first step is teacher training on the methods of how-to teach using this new educational paradigm.
First and foremost, my number one concern is keeping in mind that I am a student of The Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan and not running ahead of where he wants me to go. I have a deep respect for my Teacher and desire his acceptance of my humble offering. But on the other hand, I have a fear of challenging myself to take risks, especially such a big risk. This has halted me from moving forward. For the record, I did receive a bit of chiding four years ago from my Teacher about not getting guidance from him which "shook" me for a while, but I believe that the misunderstanding has been resolved since then. Nonetheless, I have come up with every excuse in the book for not moving out on my assignment. Here are just a few reasons on the short list as to why I have kept myself in a holding pattern for all these years: I haven't gotten approval, I don't want to be seen as a rebel, It's not time... On and on and on. I like many of you who are reading this little "confession" have deep reverence for the structure that Allah in The Person of Master Fard Muhammad brought us but in some cases, we might just use the same structure as an excuse why we cannot do anything. "I can't. I can't. I can't. God doesn't say "I can't." He says, "Be" and it is. We make one excuse after another and put the blame on someone else. It is too late in the day for excuses. Sometimes I think any old excuse would do not to challenge ourselves, grown and evolve. Bottom line - they are just excuses. Allah came to make us into gods.
Currently, the curriculum is 1040 pages long and counting. Really? Literally the document is inches thick. How much longer does it need to be you may ask. Early in the writing, I stated that the curriculum is organic and will evolve over time, which is true, but come on, its time to put the theory into practice in a real way. Brother Jabril Muhammad said to me once, "If you know what you are born to do, do it now!" Doubt, Fear and Disbelief are mind-killers. We have all heard The Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan say that 'we do not need permission to do good.' In addition to that, he also gave us an entire Saviours' Day lecture giving us permission to do the work entitled "Divine Instructions and Commands," where he instructed us to move out on the commands of The Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad. He said that if we did not follow both The Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad and his instructions that we will be found, "Insubordinate." He said that we like to use that infraction of the Restrictive Law of Islam on others, but what about applying it to self? I don't want to be insubordinate. We have been given the most beautiful gift in the form of a leader, teacher and divine guide in the person of The Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan. We should not treat him like a lovely song. Clap and marvel at his beauty then go home and do nothing.
As I previously stated, I was in a meeting that was convened by The Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan 11 years ago with several other educators. The Minister gave us all the Divine Instructions on how to construct the curriculum and the command to make it happen. In fact, during the concluding session of the conference, The Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan asked for questions and I asked him the last question of conference. Because I disagreed with some of the other conference members about using the Singapore model as a base for our curriculum, I asked him to reiterate his instruction and to provide for us additional guidance on how-to construct the curriculum. The Minister remarked, "That is why I brought you here (to Chicago at the Salaam Restaurant)." He told us that we were the educators and that the team that was assembled had brilliant minds and could solve the problem if we worked together in agreement. He wanted us to work collectively to solve this big problem - the problem or educational challenge of creating a new educational paradigm. Once again, we all heard his Saviours' Day lecture on Divine Instructions and Commands. The instruction is to get to work! Personally, my work is in the 'big field' of education and is up to me to work out - that is if I consider myself "wide awake." Whatever gift or talent Allah gave us, it is up to us to use it for Muhammad. I don't want to be found "insubordinate" and I don't think any of us do.
In fact, the last Self-Improvement Study Guide we have been given is titled "The Educational Challenge - A New Educational Paradigm for the 21st Century." This is not a coincidence. It is a very significant key to our survival as a nation in the future. During a Believer's meeting in 2014, the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan said that we flunked the first term. He continued saying that we have to take the term over again. "What is a term?" he asked. It is a fixed period of time to accomplish a certain result. and that The Nation fell because we did not fully understand the foundational knowledge that was given to us by The Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad. The foundation of our faith is Point No. 12 he continued. Are we ready to take the exam again? We are about to be tested again he concluded. And in the curriculum meeting in 2007, The Honorable Minister Farrakhan said that he believes that developing this new curriculum and educational paradigm had something to do with one of the last things he has to do before he can see his Teacher again. The Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan's instructions have been very clear as well as his commands.
Before I get too deep (Smile), I want to make it clear that I am a student of The Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan and a follower of The Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad under The Minister's guidance. That is my place and that's all! I do not make policy for The Nation of Islam or any of its entities. I have served as Student Director of Muhammad University in Baton Rouge and conducted some national workshops. I am just trying to be a good student of all blessings and opportunities that I have been given by way of access to key people who have provided me with very wise council and opportunities to serve in very significant positions. All praise is due to Allah! We must pass on the benefit of what we have learned along the way. What good is it if I keep what I have been given to myself. It is like burying my one talent for fear of losing it.
Now what does all this have to do with The Supreme Wisdom Educational Center? In 2016 I was inspired to start my own consulting business doing what I love based on what I had learned from my many years of study and research on curriculum development based on the Divine Wisdom from Allah, The Teachings of The Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad and the pedagogical guidance from The Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan. I have gained so much knowledge and insight from my studies that I am excited and overjoyed to share with you what I have been able to put together as a guide for developing fascinating lesson plan based on Teachings of The Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad and The Lessons. Also, having successfully serving as Student Directress for a MUI, I have valuable information and can provide guidance for others who are interested in starting an independent black school, teacher professional development or administrative guidance.
I chose the name Supreme Wisdom Educational Center because I wanted to make sure that anyone who is considering contracting our service knows what our primary focus is. We are unapologetically NOI. Our mission is to be an aider to The Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan and his work of making his word bond to his Teacher, The Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad and to assist with establishing a new educational paradigm for the 21st Century. Disclaimer: I, nor does anyone on our staff, "teach The Supreme Wisdom Lessons." The Supreme Wisdom Lessons are for Registered Muslim Only. The Lessons are the base for the Unit and Lesson Plans that we assist you with developing. The Supreme Wisdom Curriculum that I (we) developed is an exhaustive curriculum guide based on the instructions and Divine Guidance of The Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan of what to teach the students in The Muhammad University of Islam and the methodological of how to teach it - the curriculum. This is the core of the thesis (curriculum guide). The rest of the treatise developed as a need to "justify" and amplify the core of the text which is the idea that The Supreme Wisdom Lessons themselves are the "New" curriculum and can be used as the base to develop courses of study and learning materials. The extended part of the curriculum guide includes research, several proposals and empirical data from testing. Many people that I "pitched" the idea to of taking The Supreme Wisdom Lessons as the curriculum framework dismissed me as a fanatic even though The Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan laid out the routing in clear and concise language. At least so I thought he did. Listening to his instructions were clear as crystal to me in the way he wants us to develop the lesson plans and what we are to produce from such lessons. Nonetheless, it has been over 11 years trying to convince us, demonstrate, elucidate and everything else to proven, cajole and persuade us that what The Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan has pointed us to in The Lessons as the actual paradigm - The New Educational Paradigm. I have been looked at like I was from Mars. I could just hear what they were saying in their heads, "Poor Sister. She is deluded. What she is talking about is not based in sound pedagogy. She will learn. No academic is going to take her serious. Our children will not be able to compete with people in "the world." What can the children do with the knowledge Mr. Yacob and the making of the Devil. The children won't be able to score well on the ACT or SAT. Or she doesn't have a Ph. D. or M.S. in education. What does she know anyway." Truth be told... I was thinking, "Poor Brother", "Poor Sister," you just can't see it hidden in plain sight. You have too much education under an old dying educational paradigm from the mind of Mr. Yacob to see what a man who only completed the 3rd grade could see or a man who never finished college could see - a Divine and New Education Paradigm to make us into gods from The Lord of the Worlds." Oh well, we have moved on from there. We have stopped fighting that fight. Allah is indeed sufficient.
You may ask, how do I know that I cracked the educational code of The Lessons? By Allah's grace a permission, I have produced a product. A valuable final product. I give you my children. My youngest daughter was taught under this system of education her entire academic career and is now a physicist and an educator (secondary education in Physics) who went to college on a full four-year scholarship, travel abroad for scientific research and graduated with honors.
Working with her was experimental. I am not saying that the process was perfect, but through experimentation we are able to perfect the model. What my daughter didn't know entering college, with the superior mind and thinking produced from being fed on The Teachings of The Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad and The Supreme Wisdom Lessons in a systematic manner, The Supreme Wisdom Curriculum; it built her mind up to be a master. She approached learning every subject as a master. All praise is forever due to Allah for intervening in our affairs in The Person of Master Fard Muhammad and raising The Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad and leaving The Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan for us today. But not only did she master academics, she is a person of high morals, character and ethics. She is a loyal and faithful citizen of her nation - The Nation of Islam. Her personal mandate is to work for, develop and expand on our National infrastructure. It is one thing to produce an intelligent child, but it is another thing to produce a patriot whose aim is to give the benefit of her education back to God. That's how we know that this method works. The system is reproducible. And that's where we come in. We want to share this formula with you and your students, your children and even yourself.
The basis of the formula is simple - Repeat after me, "Allah came in the Person of Master Fard Muhammad to make us into a Nation of gods equal to the 24 Scientists. He brought us a New Educational Paradigm called The Supreme Wisdom Lessons. And He raised up a Messenger/Messiah as a Perfect Example and Guide in The Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad. And He left us the perfect example of a Perfect Student and a Perfect Helper in The Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan." That is The Truth and base of what you need to know and believe. Starting from the point of belief in what Allah brought to The Lost-Found Nation of Islam in the West is the answer. Then we go after the proofs through rigorous study, experimentation and application of what Allah gave us. The Supreme Wisdom Lessons are the matrix for a brand new and righteous civilization and world.
Secondly for the sake of clarity, the word "curriculum" needs to be cleared for the lay person. We get "spooked out" when we say we have worked on a curriculum. "Awe, no one person can write a curriculum..." A curriculum is simply defined as the courses offered by an educational institution. Simple and plain. Revisit your Lessons and look again. The courses are coded in the Questions and Answers. Oftentimes we get lesson and unit plans confused with curriculum. Lesson plans can be considered the outgrowth of course of study and courses the courses are outlined in the curriculum. Oh, by the way, this curriculum is not for sale. I am not the originator of anything that I or we are sharing. However, the curriculum is not "Free." The law of exchange states that you cannot get something for nothing. The curriculum has always been hidden in plain sight. We provide you the guide, but you must do the work to mine the Wisdom from the pages. The Supreme Wisdom Lessons as they are written provide us with a curriculum framework starting with The Original Rules of Instructions to the Laborers. The instructions are the methods of instruction courses in The Muhammad University of Islam Teacher's College. Problem No. 13 is the primer
We are in a military line organization and take our instruction and commands to the Commander-In-Chief. Of course, we have levels of accountability and must do everything within our ability and power to maintain our structure, laws, rules, regulations and conduct. However, when The Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan, The National Representative of The Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad gives an instruction, we hear and obey. How does that look? It looks respectful! It is done with love and out of love first. Love is the creative force behind the Universe. It is patient and kind as well as long-suffering. We must not act in haste out of some sense that we just have a feeling. Sometimes we have such a need to be seen and heard that we run out there and just do what we want or what we believe Allah has given us to do without consideration for what the implication mean. Everything must be done in the proper time and we do not run out in front of our Teacher making mischief thinking that we are peace-makers. No! We were given a lecture series by both The Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad and The Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan titled, The Time and What Must Be Done. Time is a key factor. All signs point to now is the time to work with expeditiousness to shift the educational paradigm. This is done through teacher training.
Well, where does that put me. It places me right in the middle of a period of transition. Transition is hard and can be dangerous. But we have taken care not to upset the apple cart least we lose all the apples. The Supreme Wisdom Curriculum Framework and Educational System Design: A Transitional and Transcendental Educational Paradigm into The Kingdom of God is a compilation of the numerous instructions and references given to us about education from The Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad, from The Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan, Mother Tynnetta Muhammad (Peace and Blessings Be Upon Her), Brother Jabril Muhammad, Student Minister Ava Muhammad and other authentic sources and references.
The curriculum starts off with the transcript of the lecture by The Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan entitled "Land and Education: The Blueprint for the New World,” delivered at Indian Lake Resort in Bloomingdale, Illinois August 2, 2012. This lecture set the standard for the lesson plan development. The basis for the curriculum is from the opening talk that be gave to convene the educational curriculum conference on August 25, 2007 wherein he stated that he wanted a curriculum based on The Supreme Wisdom Lesson and rooted in The Teachings of The Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad. He said, "If I don't see Elijah in the curriculum, I don't want it." And lastly based on a teacher professional development The Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan delivered to the teachers at Muhammad University of Islam.
During the teacher professional development workshop, The Minister asked the teachers to share their understanding of "Why Master Fard Muhammad came to North America." "What was the reason?", he asked. He said, "The teachers were a beautiful body of believers who want to accomplish as great task. And if we are not clear on the purpose for God's coming, we may not be clear on our purpose for being where we are (as teachers). He said that His (Master Fard Muhammad's) purpose for coming is why you are here (Muhammad University of Islam). But if you don't know that purpose, then you will be a hodgepodge (heterogeneous mixture: jumble) thing that you do with the children or even with yourself because you are not really sure of God's aim... His coming is not just to raise you. His coming is not just to separate you. That's part of a methodology of getting you into a place where he can fulfill His aim and purpose for you... He comes to make us gods. He come to make us equal to, as a Nation, the 24 Scientists that rule Heaven and Earth and make Holy Qur'an and Bible. He wants to make us the equal of the greatest minds and then superior. "
The Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan continued, "Now if that is His purpose He had to start somewhere to fulfill His purpose. So, He starts by taking two books; Bible, Qur'an that most of us have had some dealings with but not necessarily the understanding of. So, He comes with a body of knowledge that He called, not we called, He called, Supreme Wisdom. And He fires off questions and He is looking for answers. Now the reason that I (The Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan speaking) is because if we don't know the purpose for which He came, and we don't fully understand it then we might take The Supreme Wisdom Lessons as something not worthy of our deepest (emphasis) consideration. He didn't come with and encyclopedia which many of you as students and teachers, you've gone to school with books that thick that you had to read and probably there was that much truth in it. But you were required to read all of that. The Saviour comes with just a little thing (The Supreme Wisdom Lessons). But there is so much in it that if take it for less than what He valued it as then we will do these (gesture) and start reading 'whatever' to help us prepare students for "what?" See all of these babies in our charge, they are potential gods. I ain't talking about biology now, I am talking about their actual mentality potential - boys and girls. But if we are not versed in the Wisdom that He brought us as a guide then we won't use this to teach our students. We will use, of course, what we know. What we are familiar with. What we got our degree in and all of that is fine, but it must not be the primary instrument of the children's education nor yours because with all of that our education we have to be re-educated to serve the purpose of God. We were educated to serve the purpose of the enemy to God. Now that's real! We were never educated to set up something independent of him. So in all that we have, there is still the tendency to lean on, rely on, go back to what he gave us rather than lean on, dig deep into, study over and over His questions - His answers."
Personally, I have over 15 years in experience in direct instruction using this teaching methodology. It is mind-blowing! It blows the mind of Mr. Yacob right out of your head, right out of your thinking. This type of teaching and learning paradigm absolutely opens new worlds and new vistas of thought and insight. I want to share with the world what has been shared with me from The Teachings of The Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad through The Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan. May Allah bless us with the Light of His Understanding.
Living My Best Life!!!
November 26, 2019
This life is indeed a blessing and I am so grateful to be alive in Allah's abundant Universe!
It has been a while since I have documented my journey. A lot has happened over the last year and a half. Healing, Forgiveness, Love and Loss, but all together, I count it as GOOD! All praise is due to Allah!
Sometimes I just have to reflect on all that I have - then feel the LOVE of Allah all over me. When I wake up in the morning, I take in a deep breath and feel the presence of Allah and His omnipresent love in every cell of my being. How blessed is that? Well, it hasn't always been that way for me. Sometimes you have to go through hell to learn this lesson - to learn how to live.
Being an M.G.T. and a Righteous Muslim can be a challenge sometimes because life often times takes turns and twist that we don't expect. I never thought I would be here at this point in my life, but here I am. I have literally had to start over again almost from scratch and rebuild myself and construct a new life. That isn't necessarily a bad place. Not many people are willing to start again half the way through the game. This time with the wisdom that I have gained from experience, I can rebuild a new and better life than I thought I could imagine . We are really gods of our universe (our lives). Out of the darkness in to Allah's glorious Light. But the hardest thing about it all was/is being real with myself and discovering who I really am deep down inside. That's where the healing comes in. I had to be true with myself at the same time and know the difference between who I really am and what I really am.
Being true to myself has cost me money, positions, relationships and all other types of things that this world consider a "bad choice." Choices that have caused me to lose it all. Some loses we just have to take when the gain is potentially so great. But what could I do? I was not capable of living according to the rules of this game - become bitter, give up, give in and grow old as an unhappy, old use-to-be M.G.T. with nothing in life to look forward to except sitting at home and babysitting. No! Not me! These things have been just a comma (,) a pause - a time for me to reflect. This is a new page to a new chapter and EVERYTHING is in front of me. I couldn't accept that outcome. I couldn't just lie down and die from hurt and pain. This is a god's story. A story of creating and creation. I could only be me, live my life and make decisions that I believe are in line with my core values and my life's purpose.
What was the choice? Well, I believe so thoroughly in what I believe that Allah has purposed me to do that I have been willing to put all chips in. The choice was and still is to pursue solving The Educational Challenge! I can't think of anything more important for me to do. I have quit "good" jobs in pursuit of this goal. I have chosen to work jobs that were not commensurate with skill level or educational level to gain knowledge that I believed would be beneficial to solving the problem. In truth all of my relationships, marriage and children had to play second seat to my purpose. I just would never be truly happy or at peace if I wasn't in pursuit of my truth.
What is living truth? It is joy and happiness, satisfaction and continent of mind. I am going to make is real plain here. It is about being truly Free! Allah came to free us. And for a long time I have felt like a slave to what I thought someone else would do to me if I went against the system of things. Funny thing is, that no one ever told me "I couldn't." I have locked myself in a self-imposed prison waiting for someone to set me free when I had the key in my had the whole time. Crazy, right! Yeah I know.
In the Nation, we suffer from cognitive dissonance. Cognitive dissonance is the state of having inconsistent thoughts, beliefs, or attitudes, especially as relating to behavioral decisions and attitude change. Free and a slave. We wonder why we are not making progress. We blame everyone else except the person in the mirror. No matter how many times we hear The Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan say that we are free, we put our own foot in our own way. Then we get mad and blame The Nation, that Sister Captain, Brother Captain, Student Minister...anybody but ourselves. Then what comes next? Dissatisfaction, disappointment, apathy, hypocrisy, and then we slip and fall to The Law or fall out due to a misunderstanding.
The Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan teaches us that we could "check a fall," if wanted to. One way is WORK. Work is not just inside the mosque building. There is enough work for us to do 24/7 and still never finish for the rest of our lives. The Instructions Given to the Laborers by Our Saviour, W. D. Fard Muhammad in The Supreme Wisdom Lessons states in Instruction No. 13, "Big fields are awaiting for the wide Awake man to work out... Work cheerfully and fear not! You are the Righteous, the Best and the Powerful!" The Saviour, Master Fard Muhammad gave us permission then in 1930, as well as His Christ/Messiah. FEAR is our #1 ENEMY! The RESTRICTIVE LAW OF ISLAM is our success. This law is a guard to keep us from us hurting ourselves with the real Power that we possess and it keeps us from vanity because we ( You and I) are THE BEST! Let no one tell you are try to convince you otherwise. No one! Not any official or tyrant. I am speaking from the perspective of a Student Sister Captain of going on 20 years strong. You came to The Nation to be made freed, justified and make equal to all mankind! If Allah gave it to you, act on it in humility and conviction because the World is waiting on you and is waiting on me. Now is the Time to Arise because Allah desire to sit on top of the world and proclaim that we are the Most Beautiful Nation living in the wilderness of North America.
This is how I live my life now and how I will live it for the rest of the time that Allah grants me life on His beautiful Earth. Life is a Gift and living means to be present. Not in the past. Not in the future but right Now! Allah gave me this gift of teaching. He showed me my purpose. I was born to help The Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan and I walk boldly in this knowledge. How about you?
"Hurry and submit your answer to your teacher and tell her how much you do not understand so she can teach you quickly. We, the Nation of Islam, lose no time. Ask questions and learn all about yourself. What you are doing, today, for yourself? Your Brother from the East wants to know and hear from you at once!" Problem No. 31
Think about that. I would like to know if you have an idea that you would like to make into a reality but have been afraid because somebody told you that you couldn't or wouldn't work? Please share your idea. Put it in the Atmosphere and what it come back to you in a material form.
Love you all!
Your Sister.
Allah Knows When You Are Ready!
September 17, 2020
You will never guess what happened to me the next day after I wrote my last post... November 26, 2018. The Universe returned my earnest prayer and matched it with the energy that I put out into it. The Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan said that the Universe is like the breast (mammary gland) of a woman. He said that when you pull on it like a baby does the breast, it rewards your effort. That it did! I decided that I was turning the page and starting a new chapter in my life and I did! All Praise is due to Allah!
This beautiful man Kerry Muhammad walked into my life and Allah has truly blessed me (us) with each other. It seemed like out of a movie but it is real. A real life fantasy. We got married August 10, 2020.
This is a journey of patience, faithfulness, belief, submission and surrender. I went through a lot to get to this point. Allah had to literally take everything from me to make me KNOW that HE is Sovereign Lord in my life.
My story begins with betrayal, death, separation, lose of property, lose of hope, heart ache, loneliness, sorrow, grief, then a spark of light shined in the darkness until I could walk out of darkness into Allah's glorious light. This is also a story of forgiveness and redemption. But not necessarily how you might think. The point here is that Allah knows when you are ready!
I had been in a 21 year long marriage and a 23 year long relationship until one day it was no more. On December 26, 2020 my father died - transitioned from this life. I was there with him when he did. Interestingly enough, I find it very comforting to be there as my loved ones transition so that I can give them my love and support. And that's what I did with my daddy. He fought with his last breath to stay here but it was his time. While I was in the room with my father, I knew that my marriage had died the same death - lung cancer. Lost of inspiration beyond the point of return. On January 1st my marriage died too never to return. Six days later, I had to put my father's remains to rest. It was more than even I could handle.
After the funeral services ended and everyone was leaving the church, I lost it. I whaled with the pain of my lost. I kept saying, "No! No! No!" over and over again. I had to be driven home and put to bed. The pain was unimaginable. I had worked to hard. Tried to be a good daughter, wife and believer. I didn't question why because I knew the answer but did not want to except the reality of it. I had to move forward. I had to walk into my future and I could not do it where I was.
As I was being driven home I remember a voice coming to me saying, "You have to go and where you are they can be also but you have to leave Baton Rouge." I just kept saying, "No! No! No! I did not want to leave what I had come to know as home, my children, my mosque - my comfort zone. I was terrified of what was in front of me, what I was to become and of my future success.
As fate would have it by July of the same year, I got a job out of town. I absolutely did not want to go. I had never lived on my own before and I would be leaving my children and grandchildren. I got a position as a disaster case manager helping families and people recover from a flood in north Louisiana about three and a half hours from Baton Rouge. Just close enough but far enough away to let me grow and start the process of healing. During this time, I held the position of Student Sister Captain and would drive three and a half hours home most Fridays to attend Study Group and conduct M.G.T. class on Saturday as well as attend the Sunday mosque meeting. After the mosque meetings I would drive back north. Some Sundays I would stay over and do a talk show in Lafayette then drive back to work Monday morning. I did this for two years. The first year I was in agony.
A month after I started working as a case manager, I went home one weekend to my house in Baton Rouge where I had just bought a entire house of brand new furniture less than 3 months prior only to lose it all in the 1000-year flood of Baton Rouge. Some people called the flood, "The Alton Sterling" flood because it happened a month after the murder of Alton Sterling by a Baton Rouge City Police officer. It was all gone! Father, marriage and all my world possessions including my van and the car that I had just bought my daughter. In my apartment up north, all I had in it was a blow up air mattress and a prayer rug, as Allah as my witness. I only intended on working there for 3 months to help my sister get the office up and running. then I was returning to Baton Rouge. I signed a 3 month lease. I was arrested because Allah was making something of me. But I wasn't ready. There was still something that I had to do. Something that I had to let go of. Every night I would go to my apartment and cry myself to sleep. I was almost at the end when Allah pulled me back from the edge.
By the middle of 2017, about after a year of being there, I felt my health declining and I had to make a decision to live. So before Ramadan that year, I started studying How to Eat to Live Books I and II by The Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad. I started studying videos on health, diabetes, water fasting and exercise. I committed myself to living because I knew that I had work to do. I had people who loved me and people who I loved. I started to believe that there was life for me after divorce. So I turned a page in the book of my life and started feeling stronger, healthier and worthy. At the end of 2017 I went on a 27 day water fast. It started out a the 3-day National fast that turned into a 7-day fast. Then a 10-day fast. Then a 21-day fast and I ended my fast on the 27th day. My life had taken a dramatic turn for the better. I went to work every day. I walked when I had the time and the energy and lived my life as normal. At the end of that period, I had lost a pound a day. And I lost that much emotional baggage. I wasn't finished my transformation.
I begrudgingly moved back to Baton Rouge in July of 2018 after my job ended. I was still holding the post of Student Captain. Baton Rouge was just one big engram for me but I am glad that I went back because I had to discharge that pain and climb up from the abyss. I put my head down and did what The Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad told us to do was to "Work." So I worked for a year putting it all in. I worked full-time at a college, conducted Wednesday night meeting and Friday Study Group, M.G.T. Class and attend Sunday meeting. Each week I would do it over again. All the time I knew that my change would come. In my 2 years back, I experience the lost of two Dear Sisters in the M.G.T. class and one younger Sister who was no longer in the mosque. It seemed like the harder I worked, the more things were going down. Then one day I just had to surrender and accept that there was nothing that I could. This was beyond my control because Allah had it in His plan for me to relocate.
Mr. and Mrs. Kerry R. Muhammad, August 10, 2020
One night I just surrendered. I through my hands up and just told Allah that I surrender. I stopped struggling and accepted my fate. I had to turn the page and begin a new chapter in my life. That's when my beloved showed up. Kerry reached out of nowhere and said, "Can I ask you a question?" Are you married?" For the first time, I said, "No. I am single." That's the first line of the new chapter. Kerry was written on the first page of the new chapter of my life. On the same day 3 years earlier when my father transitioned on December 26th, Kerry asked me into a courtship. I knew he was the one, the first time I laid eyes on him because Allah promised that he would restore all that I lost and would give me better but I had to be willing to let go of what I thought I had to get what he had for me. Problem No. 13 is true on condition that we submit. I would even say surrender and heaven will be ours at once.
