As a declared Moor do you have clarity on the foundation of which you stand and where you would like to be?
Prophet Noble Drew Ali- Founder of "Moorish Science Temple Of America" (MSTA)
Attached:
An Article written by: Dr. Elihu N. Pleasant-Bey, DM Swift Angel #1 which highlighted the 1 928 Pan American Conference For Indigenous Nation that Noble Drew Ali attended. Hosted in Havana Cuba
I believe most of us here as members are currently attending classes with the hope that we will gain clarity so that we can dispel the myth and resume our rightful state of living.
I took the time out to examine the article mentioned above and attached, to see what values I could extract from it and therefore used the following questions to steer me on the right path of getting the answers I required.
1) Who was Noble Drew Ali and what was his state of mind and objective as the founder Of MSTA?
2) what does it means to be a Moor?
3)What were the foundational principles set?
4) What were the intention and the values of the Founder
5) What is required of me now to achieve the growth necessary to be a contributory factor and give value to the heads of the representative body of the MSTA Noble Drew Ali created, without diluting or diminishing the meaning of the establishment.
Please see below the answers that I tied to the questions. This is just my view and my interpretation of what the writer wrote.
Question1: Who was Noble Drew Ali and what was his state of mind and objective as the founder Of MSTA?
Answer: According to the writer the Prophet was born January 8, 1886. The following is itemized events that will give you an understanding of who our noble was:
A) while he was at the 1928 conference, the "Panama" was placed upon Ali's head by the president of Cuba at the time. He was at the age of 42. Having this understanding of the recognition and the statuses he gained at a high rank gave me insight into his high level of functioning which provided a sense of comfort for me.
B) Noble Drew Ali autographed his High Name of El Hajj Sharif Abdul Ali given to him by Sultan Abdul Aziz Ibu of the Saudi Family upon completing the "Pilgrimage" in the Holy City Of Mecca, Saudi Arabia. This event was said to have occurred during 1912 at the age of 26
C) Noble Drew Ali was a recipient of the Kemetian Adept (Adept: thoroughly proficient) Degree of Prophet from the Noblest Authorities of the Ancient Egyptian Order. It was there he bestowed the name of faithful Moslem in order to be accepted into the Holy City Of Mecca. It was also mentioned that he left the USA in 1902 when he was 16 and returned to the USA 10 years later at age 26 as a Holy Prophet.
Having garnered all this information, I can now see clearly how much of a highly esteemed man the noble was. The titles that were bestowed upon him by the authorities of his time were phenomenal. We are clearly not on his plane and can only hold fast to the dream to etch our way gradually to measure up. I hope you will find some appreciation for my effort to bring light to who the founder of the Moorish Organization was.
Answers for the other questions will be posted in future post.
Peace and Love😊
