The following My Brother is an example of what we must practice and then teach to others in the making of a New People… Q.) What is the proper way to read the Holy Qur’an as taught by the Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad? ANS. - How to read the Holy Qur’an as taught the Mother Tynnetta Muhammad: I received my orientation on certain aspects of the Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad Divine Teachings, directly from the Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad in a very special way as a student of Divine, being prepared in the circle of his domestic life to serve in the development of our Islamic community, both at home and abroad. One morning after arriving to work at the Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad home in Hyde Park, at 4847 South Woodlawn, he invited me into the breakfast nook where the Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad began to show me how to open and read the Holy Qur’an for spiritual guidance. The Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad took the Holy Qur’an into his hands and with the recitation of the words, “Bismillah Irahman Irahim,” he placed the Holy Qur’an on his forehead and then kissed the cover. Afterwards, he turned the Qur’an to the back and again placed the Qur’an on his forehead while reciting the opening “Bismillah” with a kiss, and then he opened the book to the passage before him with his eyes focusing on that particular verse or chapter. He then stated that we could find answers to whatever questions or problems we may face by reading the Holy Qur’an. Following this procedure, we should meditate on the Divine Word to find the right solution. In this way he taught me the high reverence and respect for the Holy Qur’an and the Divine Word of God. I hold these precious memories in my heart each and every day in practice and remembrance.
