The Honorable vs The Most Honorable
Quote from Student1 on February 28, 2023, 17:12From my studies while The Messenger was alive, he was referred to as The Honorable Elijah Muhammad (THEM). However from my studies when Minister Louis Farrakhan became most popular among the masses, then began a shift in the language. Now, mostly followers of Minister Farrakhan, refer to Elijah Muhammad as The Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad and refer to Minister Farrakhan as The Honorable Louis Farrakhan.
According to Merriam-Webster dictionary honorable means 4b) consistent with a reputation that is not tarnished or sullied.
In my opinion The Honorable Elijah Muhammad is a proper title for The Messenger. I believe the language was changed to elevate Minister Farrakhan into a position he did not deserve.
