In this patient and seminal treatise, Jabril Muhammad considers, explores and analyzes theological, anecdotal, circumstantial and first-hand evidence that supports the basis of the thinking, held by a growing minority, that Nation of Islam's patriarch, the Honorable Elijah Muhammad, escaped a death plot twenty-six years ago, and is in fact, still alive, today.
That Jabril Muhammad is able to include so much information from a variety of sources in such a small amount of space, as he simultaneously writes from his own perspective, is quite an accomplishment and one that ensures that the reader explores this controversial subject with the benefit of more than one point of view.
Here, Jabril Muhammad makes the argument, with the Bible and Holy Qur'an, that the life of the Honorable Elijah Muhammad and Black people in America, in particular, is intimately connected, related and intertwined with the actual lives of the prophets of old as well as the narrative and storyline of the scriptures.
