Intro
In 1950-1951, Hatim wrote his famous study on Ahmadiyya wherein he interviewed Elijah Muhammad and many other rogue members of the NOI (See 1995 edition of “The Nation of Islam”, Via “Contributions in Black Studies”: Vol. 13, Article 3., by Hatim A. Sahib). In this study, Elijah Muhammad explained to Hatim how he super-imposed the title of “Promised Messiah” upon W.D. Fard.
On page 71, Elijah Muhammad told Hatim that W.D. Fard never called himself a prophet, but he did say that he was the Messiah that “they” were looking for. On page 72, Hatim alleges that Elijah Muhammad “had stimulated Dard to pretend that he is the promised Messiah of the Bible, and whom he has raised to the position of Deity”“.
On page 148, Hatim tells us that when Elijah Muhammad first met with W.D. Fard, Elijah Muhammad allegedly told him that he was the “Promised Messiah” and W.D. Fard began to embody this idea. A few months later (the year is unknown), W.D. Fard made W.D. Fard his top minister. Elijah Muhammad alleges that he was the 3rd such minister (notice the Christian title), the two before him had full Muslim names, they were Abdul Mohammed and Othman Ali (both full Muslim names with no direct connection to India) and had strong connections to the Moorish Science Temple and eventually opposed W.D. Fard and Elijah Muhammad.
Lastly, in Beynon, Mr. W. D. Fard was never called a Messiah or Mahdi, he was only called either a prophet by some of the followers that Beynon interviewed or a God by Elijah Muhammad who had been named Elijah Karriem by Mr. W. D. Fard and thus separated from his blood brothers. It should be noted that Fard was also referred to as Mr. Wali Farrad, Professor Ford, Mr. Farrad
Mohammed, Mr. F. Mohammed Ali, but never as “Master Fard”, which was added later in the late 1950’s/early 1960‘s.
