Caption from poster__       The Honorable Elijah Muhammad  EVERY LIFE   that is created on the planet earth has a duty. It is bound to this duty.   by nature, to do something for self.     Muhammad was born Elijah Poole in Sandersville, Georgia, as one of 13 children of Willie Poole (1868–1942) and Mariah Hall (1873–1958) both were tenant farmers (share croppers).

This consideration, however, is entirely against the teachings of mainstream Islam,
