The Assistant Grand Sheik is to assist the Grand Sheik in all affairs if he lives according to Love, Truth, Peace, Freedom and Justice, and it is known before the citizens of the Moorish Science America of America.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\"><br><strong>The By laws<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\"><br><strong>Act 2<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;All meetings are to be opened and closed promptly according to the Circle Seven and Love, Truth, Peace, Freedom and Justice. Friday is our Holy Day of rest, because on a Friday the first man was formed in flesh and on a Friday the first man departed out of flesh and ascended unto his Father God Allah, for that cause Friday is the Holy Day for all Moslems all over the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\"><br><strong>Act 3&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Love, Truth, Peace, Freedom and Justice must be proclaimed and practiced by all citizens of the Moorish Science Temple of America. No citizen is to put in danger or accuse falsely His Brother or Sister on any occasion at all that may harm His Brother or Sister, because Allah is Love.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\"><br><strong>Act 4<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;All citizens must preserve these Holy and Divine laws, and all citizens must obey the laws of the Government, because by being a Moorish American, you are a part and parcel of the Government, and must live the life accordingly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Act 5<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u00a0No organization of the Moorish Science Temple of America is to cause any confusion or to overthrow the Laws and Constitution of the said Government but to obey hereby.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Act 6<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;With us all citizens must proclaim their Nationality and we are teaching our people their Nationality and their Divine Creed that they may know that they are a part and a parcel of this said Government, and know that they are not Negroes, Colored Folks, Black People or Ethiopians, because these names were given to slaves by slave holders in 1779 and lasted until 1865 during the time of slavery. But this is a New Era of time now and all men now must proclaim their free National Name to be recognized by the government in which they live and the nations of the earth. This is the reason why Allah, the Great God of the universe, ordained Noble Drew Ali, the Prophet, to redeem his people from their sinful ways. The Moorish Americans are the descendants of the ancient Moabites whom inhabited the North Western and South Western shores of Africa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\"><br><strong>Act 7<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">All citizens must promptly attend their meetings and become a part and a partial of all uplifting acts of Moorish America. Moorish Americans must pay their dues and keep in line with all necessities of Moorish Science Temple of America and then you are entitled to the name of \u201cFaithful\u201d. Husband, you must support your wife and children; wife you must obey your husband and take care of your children and look after the duties of your household. Sons and daughters must obey father and mother and be industrious and become a part of the uplifting of fallen humanity. All Moorish Americans must keep their hearts and minds pure with love and their bodies clean with water. This Divine Covenant is from your Holy Prophet Noble Drew Ali, thru the guidance of His Father God Allah.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\"><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-0aa01211 wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/holytemples.org\/world-congregation\/\">Holy Audience <\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Moorish Science Temple of America Divine Constitution &amp; By Laws Act 1 The Grand Sheik and the Chairman of Moorish Science Temple of America are in power to make law and enforce laws with the assistance of the Prophet and the Grand Body of Moorish of the Moorish Science Temple of America.
