How to Raise a Moral Islamic Family

By: Minister Malcolm X, Harlem Temple #7

The Islamic faith has many standards in which a husbands and wives must abide by. The husband must come home to an obedient wife who knows the proper way to cook a hot meal, to keep the home clean, and watch the children. This is her duty as a Muslim woman. The Honorable Elijah Muhammad teaches us that the woman must not be like the average American woman. Look at the women in America , young and old. Hardly any moral values are left in them. You can measure this by their dress and attire. Their spiritual values are almost destroyed, because of their emphasis on material things. This is why I married Betty, to raise our children as good Muslims, and to allow me to keep fighting the white man's influence on the black man without any disturbance at home. None of the gossip or nonsense that other women live by.

forms of "public assistance" are not acceptable; only through hard work and an honest, moral Islamic path can a young person become the next Malcolm X.

The Nation of Islam opens it arms to the young people of America, to learn the true path for the black man, and not the one that the whites would like to believe is the real path to salvation. Salvation can only lie within young brothers.

In the name of Allah, the most Merciful, All-Knowing God.
