SUN OF MAN ARTICLE: ALLAH'S SUNS SET IN THE WEST by Born Allah/edited by Bilal Allah In the name of Allah do I greet you in the highest respects of peace. First, I would like to thank the Gods at the Sun Of Man for the opportunity to begin the communication between the Gods & Earths on both coasts. It will be some time before some of the Gods will get the chance to see the Allah School and speak to the real elders of our nation. It's a long time coming. I received knowledge in 1987 in high school in the Bronx. I returned to Cali while still on my mathematics. I lived in Simi Valley (the same place the Rodney King trial took place), where I met Damiek Allah, who had moved there from Long Island. Damiek had other lessons, being that he was still in contact with some Gods back home. Even though some of the lessons were incorrect or incomplete, we studied them regardless. Simi Valley didn't agree with my young rebellious attitude, so I moved to Los Angeles in 1988 to complete my schooling. During this time, Black pride was booming; dashikis, African medallions and kufis were real popular in Los Angeles. The 5% was only known by a chosen few and understanding was very little, so I was challenged constantly. A lot of brothers approached me about receiving knowledge, but usually didn't stay around—except a young brother, who became Myking Allah. He had a little more understanding, being he is from New York originally. During this time, I taught an Earth named Quintara, who eventually became the mother of my first child. Damiek, Myking and myself became close friends, studying together and just growing. We would adorn crowns and take pictures with our Book of Life. Myking used to speak about some Gods he knew that stayed across town. I never took him seriously because they never came around. I eventually met Sudan, Divine and Justice (who later became Just-Life). At the time, Sudan and Divine were in-between the concepts of the Muslims and the 5%. I can remember a time when we sat up for hours arguing the concept of God; big G, little g. I always noticed that Just never said anything. Just is a cold Black seed, so as long as I've known him, he's always done the knowledge. He and Myking were very close, so Myking had a lot to do with influencing Just-Life in the lessons. Sudan and Divine came around and became very

influential in building this nation in Los Angeles. At this time, there was only one brother who ran with us that wasn't from the 5%, but you would never be able to tell. He didn't eat pork and he didn't believe in no spook. After all his contact with the Gods, he became King Born, one of the most powerful thinkers among the first born. One of the last to become what we call the first born of Love Allah is Knowledge Borne, by way of Just-Life doing his duty in South Central. Just-Life was the first of us to have his own apartment, so his home was like a hangout for the Gods. If you didn't see your a-alike anyplace, you were sure to see them at Just-Life's home. We were young and fueled by the knowledge of ourselves. Someone who was very influential and added to our growth and development was Lord Jamel by way of Queens. Him being old enough to be our father, it came as a shock to some of us, seeing a 5%er his age. He used to get us together like an old griot, take us through our lessons, give us history, and tell us these stories that every God over 30 has. He was a major factor in organizing our first Parliament in early 1990 at Leimert Park in the Crenshaw district. His presence was truly a blessing to the first born of Love Allah. When we began having these Parliaments, our popularity grew stronger than ever. People driving by would see a group of young men, standing in a cipher in the middle of the park. People came from all over, trying to find out who these young 5%ers were. Along with those who came to learn were those who came to challenge us. When the Sunni Muslims heard about a group of young men who called themselves Allah, they wasted no time in trying to dispute this. There was a mosque right across the street from where we held our rallies. They constantly came harassing and threatening the Gods. Even the NOI and the young FOI challenged the Gods, but we still maintained and continued to teach. All praise to Allah. The mosque across the street was burned during the riots, and the NOI grew to understand and respect us after Farrakhan himself came and taught on the 5% in a private registered Muslim meeting.

In 1991, King Born and myself took a trip to New York on music business, so this was an opportunity to make our pilgrimage home to Mecca. I was overwhelmed with excitement about going to the Allah School in Mecca. While on my visit, I found that a lot of the lessons I had learned over the years were incorrect, but the elders saw to it that I was set straight and sent back to L.A. on the right track, with a job to do. On our return to L.A., we shared everything we had learned with the first born. King Born, Just-Life and myself were the first to learn 120 lessons. Now, there is a whole new generation of Gods in Love Allah that is taking it to the next level. I'm considered an elder here at the age of 23. This brief history that I'm sharing with you is an example of how our Father Allah's teachings have spread and effected the lives of people in places he's never seen. Not only is there a history here in L.A., but there is a history in Texas, Washington, Louisiana and Alaska because I'm in contact with Gods from these places. It is a must that we open the means of communication with Gods & Earths in other places to insure that the teachings of our Father are not diluted, mixed or tampered with. If we as a nation are active in other cities and states and vocal about how our teachings are implemented and taught, there will never be a misunderstanding on who we are and what we represent.
