Hey Everyone! I frequently get the question of What Exactly is Saviours' Day. Honestly, It's basically our Christmas, the Traditional Christian holiday celebrating the birth of Jesus. We are celebrating the birth of Our Saviour Master Fard Muhammad.
The Definition of Saviour is a person who saves someone or something (especially a country or cause) from danger, and who is regarded with the reverence of a religious figure. It has the apostrophe after the "s" indicating that he (Allah) who is singular has reproduced himself from his own essence and makes two from the people. One like the man (husband) and the woman (wife), reproducing themselves. When Master Fard D. Muhammad came, he came with two hats, one for himself and 1 for Mahdi, the two will stand with the Lord for the Lord. They are known as the 2 anointed men Elijah Muhammad and The Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan. When we join the nation we are being made after them.

Saviours’ Day is an annual Nation of Islam commemoration of the birth of Master Fard Muhammad, the Great Mahdi of the Muslims and the Messiah of the Christians, who appeared in North America on July 4, 1930, and declared that the 400 years of bondage Black people served in America had ended. His coming and declaration fulfills many scriptures. The most notable is the fulfillment of the promise God made to Abraham that his descendants would endure physical and mental slavery in a strange land among a strange people—before God Himself would deliver Abraham’s seed and judge the nation they served. This is explained in Genesis 15:13
And he said unto Abram, Know of a surety that thy seed shall be a stranger in a land that is not theirs, and shall serve them; and they shall afflict them four hundred years; And also that nation, whom they shall serve, will I judge: and afterward shall they come out with great substance.

The Honorable Elijah Muhammad Departed in 1975. During this dark time many believers became afraid, confused and some even lost their way and became disbelievers. The Nation of Islam Fell during this time. Two years later in September 1977, The Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan listened to Allah and started to rebuild the Nation of islam.

Today thousands attend the annual convention. Saviours' Day has grown to include workshops, health screenings, lively discussions, fashion shows and entertainment, social and educational activities for children and families, the Salaam Expo bazaar. They save the best for last with an address delivered by The Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan. It is a joyful and spirited occasion that is looked forward to by members like me in the Nation of Islam and the Black community.
