The following is the text of a letter to Commandante Fidel Castro
from the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan as published in the
Final Call Newspaper, Vol 25 No. 45.

IN THE NAME OF ALLAH, THE BENEFICENT, THE MERCIFUL.

August 14, 2006

Commandante Fidel Castro
Leader of the Cuban Revolution

As-Salaam Alaikum. (Peace Be Unto You)

Dear Commandante Castro,

On behalf of my family, the members of the Nation of Islam and
myself, we pray that Allah (God) will grant you a full and speedy
recovery that you may resume your duty to the people of Cuba and the
world. Also, on behalf of my family, the members of the Nation of
Islam and myself, we wish you a happy belated birthday, and we pray
that Allah (God) will bless you with many, many more.

Dear Commandante Castro, the idea of servicing the needs of the
people rather than the idea of gaining material wealth is the essence
of the revolution. This idea of service is the driving force in the
Cuban Revolution that represents the seminal stage of what religious
people of Christianity, Judaism and Islam call the Kingdom of God. I
firmly believe that Allah (God) has chosen you and the Cuban people
to begin this process of servicing human needs, thus setting the
stage for all people of goodwill to emulate this mode of service to
others. Jesus said, "He who would be the greatest among you let him
be your servant." In this regard, you are one of the greatest leaders
to emerge in the 20th Century, setting the foundation of a true
example of service for all who will lead in the 21st Century.

In closing, you and the revolution you inspired have angered many
people of wealth and status who have enriched themselves at the
expense of the poor. I believe this is why Jesus told the people of
His day: "It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle
than for a rich man to enter the Kingdom of God."

Please remember what I said to you in our last meeting, that there is
no such thing as death for Fidel Castro, for you are an idea whose
time has arrived; and that idea is deep in the souls of most of the
Cuban people and now in the hearts of many throughout the world. This
idea will continue to grow and you will continue to grow with it from
beyond the grave.

May Allah (God) continue to shower His Blessings on you and those who
help you in the service of others.

Sincerely, and with much love and great respect,

I Am Your Brother and Servant,

The Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan
Servant to the Lost-Found
Nation of Islam in the West

HMLF/sm
