BLACK PEOPLE VISIT YOUR LOCAL MOSQUE Every SUNDAY @ 10:00 AM ~HONORING~ Mother Ruby Muhammad The Nation of Islam`s spiritual mother celebrated her 106th birthday, and says if it were not for that organization, she would have gone through life knowing very little. Mother Muhammad is one of as many as 81,000 people over the age of 100 living in the United States. "Nobody told me much about nothing,"she said after recalling her early years. Until 1946, Muhammad - then known as Ruby Macer Grayer - had only worked in people`s houses. It was that year she joined the Nation of Islam, then led by the Honorable Elijah Muhammad. "I never knew a mother or a father," Muhammad said. "But when I got into the Muslims, I was encouraged to go back to school, and I did it at night," she added. The focused young woman continued to attend school while working for small house-keeping fees. After completing school, Muhammad said she became interested in world affairs, and traveled to different countries including England in order to help carry out the Nation`s business. Now at the wise age of 106, Muhammad displays nearly a photographic memory, recalling addresses and places she stayed during her days as a child in Americus, Ga., also the hometown of the late Elijah Muhammad. That tireless spunk and memory was put on display recently as "Mother" Muhammad was honored by her countless family, friends and supporters during a salute in her honor. She was named Mother of the Nation of Islam in 1986 by Minister Louis Farrakhan, and has an international following of love and admiration by those in the Nation of Islam. Among those on hand for her 106th birthday celebration was Minister emeritus Wazh Muhammad of Los Angeles. Her legacy was enhanced by the publishing of her new book, "Who Do They Say I Am?" In it, Muhammad recalls the wealth of knowledge and experience she has gained since her birth in 1897. After leaving the South, Muhammad moved to San Francisco, where she said it was a "wonderful" place, and "I obtained my first home and a new car, and times were good with my second husband who stayed with me for more than 50 years, before he died." She had also lived with her first husband until he died, but said "he did not take much of a liking for work, but was always good in keeping the kids when I went to work." To watch her walk around a room unaided is a thing ofinspiration as well. Muhammad credits Elijah Muhammad`s book "How to Eat to Live" as a key to her superior physical condition. "It is what has helped me to stay fit during my lifetime," she said. "If I had it now, I would likely be in even greater shape than I am now," she added. As the mother and spirit of the nation, Muhammad said, "I guess God gave me my spirit, or Allah, it is what kept me goingall of these years, because I didn`t know much about life myself, until I became a Muslim." Kanye West lends support to Millions More Movement Chicago (FinalCall.com) - Before an audience of excited supporters and local Chicago news media, multi-platinum recording artist Kanye West stopped by the Nation of Islam`s headquarters July 24 to show support for the Millons More Movement, 10th Anniversary Commemoration of the Million Man March.
