that their spiritual, social, intellectual and economic condition can be better to join the M.S.T. of A. We are Moslems who have proclaimed the Nationality (Moorish American) and the Divine and National Principles (Love, Truth, Peace, Freedom and Justice) of their forefathers in order to meet the constitutional Standards of Law of the United States of America, become citizens of the USA and have political status in our government. As followers of a Divine Prophet, we have effectively interacted with individuals, groups and organizations that have shown their respect for our Prophet and the divine and National Principles of our temples. In connection with our religious aims and beliefs, we have always promoted economic security. We are firmly committed to our organization’s Plan (The Divine Plan of the Ages) which assures us Unity, Spiritual Fulfillment, Truthful Education of our Posterity and Economic Power. This is why we advocate that the Moorish Science of America is the only national organization amongst our Asiatic people, unfortunately called today Black, that can solve our problems. We teach that our people are Asiatic because according to all true and divine records of the human race, there is no Negro, Black, Colored Race attached to the Human Family and we consider it to be a sin and unconstitutional for our people to cling to names and principles that delude to slavery. We have a Public Affairs Office that can arrange for lectures and literature for those who desire to know more about the Moorish Science Temple of America.
Thank you for your support.
