The Role of Man in Society Part 1
Imam W.D. Mohammed
March 8, 2003
I see that a lot of my friends are out
here today. As for my enemies, if you
can stomach me, I can stomach you.
My
father said he had a cast iron
stomach. He used to be able
to eat peanuts whole.

We are born from our mothers
knowing nothing. We all start out the
same, knowing nothing. We are born
into
the world and the world gives us a lot
of language but little insight.
The role of man in society begins with
the creation of the human
soul. "Allah created the male and the
female from one
soul". The word for soul in Arabic is
"nafs". The
Arabic pronoun for Adam is huwa
which means "he". Now if
Adam was a she. The pronoun would
be "heya". The pronoun
for eve is "heya". There is no neuter
gender in Arabic.
That is, there is no word for "it" in
Arabic. Things
are either of the masculine or
feminine gender in Arabic. When
we say nafs (soul), the pronoun is
"heya" indicating the feminine
gender. The nafs (soul) being
feminine does not refer to
Adam or Eve—because they have not
been formed yet. Though
the nafs is feminine by gender, in
grammar, its essence is neither male
nor female. The male and female
when they mate they
reproduce themselves. The most
important thing in this
portion of the lecture is the common
human soul. In the
old language when we say the word
male it means outgoing. When
we say the word female—it means
inside. The people who
gave us these terms are wiser then
the people in religion. There
are only a few people in religion that
are wiser then those who created
this material world of man. What I am
giving you is the
translation of the language of mans
material world. You
need a translator. In the English
language, there are many languages
for the perception of reality.
The revealed language is one of
these languages and it is a
different language. The common
language is a cover for the
real meanings of language. The
kindergarten language or
understanding of Adam—is that he is
the first father on the physical
male level. That is, that Adam is a
physical man. If
any of you still think on this
kindergarten level, you need to leave
now, because you are not
representative of what I have been
teaching
you.
