Noble Drew Ali, born January 8th, 1886, brought with him a mission, a message and a plan that would foster the benefits of a system for salvation that was of an Earthly and Divine nature. His mission to “uplift fallen humanity” was a goal that included the projected ideologies of spiritual growth and evolution, enlightenment and the oneness of ALLAH. Noble Drew Ali provided the Moors with a vision of a goal and a map to the inner source of the Asiatic’s true genetic identity and infinite spiritual essences that is contained within the temple of man.

Noble Drew Ali demonstrated the behavior of being a spiritual achiever by displaying a deep love and devotion to those he worked to release from a state of mental slavery. He urged Moors to develop a natural sense of love and compassion for one another by constantly reminding the Moors to learn to “love instead of hate.” His work ethic, dedication and forethought represented his insight into the future paradigms of consciousness and social being.Noble Drew Ali represented, for the Moors in the Occidental territories, a modern entity with a plan for healing, self-identity, self-knowledge, self-realization, and salvation. These benefits, as a result of studying Noble Drew Ali’s teachings, are encoded, symbolically interwoven and interpolated in a divine preparation entitled, the “Moorish Holy Koran.” Within this manual for self mastery are the tools for developing the workshop of the mind and the guidelines regarding the spiritual dimensions and the divine essence that is enthroned within man. In studying the works and teachings of Noble Drew Ali, one will find the following consciousness templates engraved into the manual of self-mastery: the Moorish Holy Koran. These seven basic “Truths” are as follows:

• Evolution cannot be hindered; Man is doomed to perfection as spiritual growth is assured (MHK Chapter 1).
• ALLAH’s dwelling place is within the heart of Man; for ALLAH and man are one.
• Man’s reality of ALLAH changes at different phases of growth and consciousness attainment (MHK 10:13-23).
• Engrained in Man is the higher truth as man possesses a “higher self” which is ALLAH in man.
• The true nature of man is infinite as “time never was when man was not (Moorish Holy Koran Chapter 1).”
• Man has two selves, the “higher self” and “lower self;” the “higher self” represents the infinite and eternal truth, while the “lower self” symbolizes the temporary world of illusion.
• The natal identity of the Moors is of an ancient origin and that the spiritual system (old time religion) utilized by the Moors is for both an earthly and divine salvation. Through this specialized system of being and becoming, one learns to honor thy mother and thy father by clinging to the upright and ancient “ways” that leads one back to the oneness of ALLAH, for ALLAH and man are one.

As Noble Drew Ali understood that no two people possessed the same degree of understanding, he encouraged the Moors, then and now, to teach and enforce the principle of love as the method by which they (we) would “uplift fallen humanity.” He also urged the Moors to act in love and compassion while also displaying the ability to forgive, because everyone would not be psychologically prepared at the same time. However, he knew that there would be moments when the five senses would synchronize with deeper intuition and be allowed to access a greater frequency of consciousness and being that would deliver a higher degree of truth. He unveiled the mystery that Asiatics were all linked into the same infinite intelligence which allowed them the ability to activate their potential to vibrate in perfect harmony with ALLAH. This, as taught by Noble Drew Ali, was an inevitable act if man were to attune himself with his higher self: the self of Aught.

He also revealed that the barriers that would hinder progress and attunement with the higher self would be the parasitic identity of delusion: the lower self. He further revealed that this entity of illusion would distract man with the following: the intoxication for ego needs, the distortion of perception, the lack of self identity and self worth, with trauma that psychologically defeats the best intentions and with all other aspects of the illusory world that breed harm, hurt and imbalance. These are the ancient and universal teachings of Noble Drew Ali.

We honor him, his message and his teachings on this holy day, January 8th, 2007. May the universal truth that be unveiled continue to enlighten minds and purify hearts with the majestic glory of ALLAH?

From moorsgate.com we would like to say’Happy Birthday!

“Masterpiece of Religious Literature: Secrets of Other Creeds Revealed”

by Prophet Noble Drew Ali

Reprinted from the Moorish Guide of Friday, December 15, 1928.

The Prophet Noble Dew Ali has spent many hours preparing the latest edition of the Koran, which will be a masterpiece of Religious Literature. To Americanize the Oriental idea of Islam involves many changes that are more or less negative to the main purpose of the Islamic Religion. Such changes are carefully considered with the idea to avoid changing the complexion of the original text.

The philosophy of the ancient Prophets is the main initiative in the compilation of the Koran. No thoughts of propaganda enter this work, as has been the case of many former religious works, such as the Bible and other books of creed.

The sole purpose of the Prophet in giving such a message to the world is to save fallen humanity. When a compiler attempts to inject propaganda into a work of this kind, there arises a need to cover the true text in order to prevent a clash with the truth and ideas involved in such propaganda.

Former works of this kind have either hindered or helped the nations proportionately to the adherence to the truth as to the original purpose of keeping the ignorant in such a state. It is hard to resist the temptation to use this medium for gain. Hence, many of the former treaties on works of this kind have been the means to foster ideas of the unscrupulous wherein they desired to use religious influence for gain.

The many secrets known to the Prophet that could be used for the salvation of the nation were either left out or colored to an extent that their meaning was made void. Such is not the case with this edition of the Koran.

All the secrets of the ages known to man are put into this work. The secrets, known only to the Magi, are here revealed: the reading of the stars, the interpretation of marriage relations, the understanding of the span of life and other such as has been kept from the occidental world are in this book boldly brought out.

The Koran, Americanized as it will be, can be bought in a few weeks. It will be sent to all Governors of the Moorish Science Temples of America.

What is Islam?

as published in the Moorish Guide National Edition

Islam is a very simple faith. It requires man to recognize his duties toward God Allah, his Creator and his fellow creatures. It teaches the supreme duty of living at peace with one’s surroundings. It is preeminently the religion of peace. The very name, Islam, means peace. The goal of a man’s life, according to Islam, is peace with everything. Peace with Allah and peace with man.

The Koran, the Holy Book of Islam, tells us that the final abode of man is the “House of Peace”, “where no vain word or sinful discourse will be heard.” The Holy Divine Prophet, Noble Drew Ali, says that a follower of Islam in the true sense of the word is one whose hands, tongue and thoughts do not hurt others.

The object of man’s life, according to Islam, is its complete unfoldment. Islam teaches that man is born with unlimited capacities for progress. Islam does not support the idea that man is born in sin. It teaches that every one has within him the seed of perfect development and it rests solely with himself to make or mar his fortune.

The cardinal doctrine of Islam is the unity of the Father-ALLAH. We believe in one God. Allah who is All God, All Mercy and All Power. He is perfect and holy. All Wisdom, All Knowledge, and All Truth. These are some of His great attributes so far as we can understand.

He is free from all defects, holy and transcendent. He is personal to us in so far as we can see His attributes working for us; but He is, nevertheless, impersonal. Because He is infinite, perfect, and Holy, we do not believe that death, decay, or sleep overtake Him, neither do we believe that He is a helplessly inactive and inert force. Nothing happens without his knowledge and will. He neither begets nor is He begotten, because these are the traits of frail and weak humanity.

This unity of Allah is the first and foremost pillar of Islam and every other belief hangs upon it.

By Noble Drew Ali, The Prophet.

Noble Drew Ali was born in the state of North Carolina on January 8th, 1886. He was born of the (Moorish Indigenous) Cherokee Tribe and named at birth, Timothy Drew with Moorish and Cherokee descent. He traveled extensively and studied the Universal sciences of the “Most High” and the mystic disciplines required to reach self mastery (Moorish Science). Through diligence and determination, Noble Drew Ali (more commonly known), revealed to the Asiatics of the Americas that the European colonists systematically discombobulated, usurped and destroyed the records and history of the Indigenous Moors of the Americas (Amexem, Al Mauritania, Al Moroc). He set out to reconstruct the buried history and restore the divine creed and national parentage identity to the unconscious Asiatics of the Americas. He reconnected the broken circle of Nationality, Birthright, Divine Creed and their link to a Natal Land Mass; to the people incorrectly labeled Negro, black, colored, Indian and Ethiopian. He consistently urged the study of “Self” and the study of all religion from a scientific and psycho-spiritual perspective.

Noble Drew Ali was the first national and international Moorish American Representative to proclaim and declare the Moors as a “nation” in America while re-planting the Moorish Flag back onto American soil. He was the first to “not” provide opposition to the Moorish Inquisition (slavery system) in America on behalf of the caste system terminologies of Negro, black, colored, etc. He taught that political fictions could not be identified with the family of nations and have civil liberties and human rights as a natural being “In Law.” He was the first to receive the authority to teach Islam in America as he established the first Islamic temple in America in 1925, the Moorish Science Temple of America. From that time until his death, his mission statement was to “uplift fallen humanity” through the five “divine” principles of Love, Truth, Peace, Freedom and Justice; to teach the Moors in America to be “themselves” as their divine creed was the first religious creed (science to link one back to their creator) for the redemption and salvation of mankind on earth; and to promote economic security because a ” beggar people cannot develop the highest in them, nor can they attain to a genuine enjoyment of the spiritualities of life.” He encouraged Moors to be diligent and industrious and to be able to provide for themselves as a sovereign and unified body. Although he advised Moors to be economically secure, he reiterated that “money doesn’t make the man; it is free national standards and (spiritual) power that makes a man and a nation.” Self-Knowledge, Self-Realization and Self-Revelation through the public declaration of your “divine creed,” and Moorish quotes of wisdom like: “Time never was when man was not;” “Man is a thought of Allah, all thoughts of Allah are infinite;” and “Life is spent to build the temple of perfected man” were the divine teachings of Noble Drew Ali. However, the public declaration of your “free national name,” “the constitutional standards of law by name and principle” and a “free national government” were his national teachings. Hence you have the Moorish Divine and National Movement in which he founded in 1916.

Sheik Sharif Abdul Ali left several important works for his Moorish family that would come some time later with their “(third) eyes wide open.” Of those several important works, two hold heavy significance in the royal science of “mastery of self.” The Moorish Holy Koran (MHK) and the 101 Questionnaire entitle, “Koran Questions for Moorish Children.” He strategically structured infinite wisdom and messages in his literature as well as on the cover of the Moorish Holy Koran as a symbol of a broken circle with a number seven in the center. Noble Drew Ali lifted the veil of deception by attending the Pan American Conference in Havana, Cuba in 1928. He received extensive recognition from numerous “Heads of State” of the Americas. They recognized his sovereign status as a Moorish National who represented the Moorish Nation in the Americas. He received a copy of a mandate that extended a land grant to the “entire” Western Hemisphere” to select European nations. In attendance, was the Secretary of state Hughes, from the United States Government and many other “Heads of State” whom realized the potential power of the Moorish Nation in the Americas. In 1929, Noble Drew Ali died a mysterious death and left an intricate code for Moors to decipher. Since that time, Moors in America, have been identified as “Black Muslims” and “Black Nationalist.” As stated in Noble Drew Ali’s original teachings, Moors were not, are not and never will be “black.” Therefore, Moors are not “Black Muslims” or “Black Nationalist.” There is no national land mass called “black” and no national flag for “black” because nations are identified by a national flag, a national parentage identity and a national land mass. Noble Drew Ali established a grand mission and the mission will be accomplished in due time.
