The Holy Liturgy of the Moorish Science Temple of America<\/strong>, Africa, Asia & World Islands is the sacred text that embodies the divine revelations and teachings<\/strong> of the great Prophet Noble Drew Ali<\/strong>, the Moorish Redeemer who restored the knowledge of our true nationality, birthrights, and divine creed.<\/strong> Rooted in Moorish Literature<\/strong>, this sacred doctrine revives the ancient wisdom of our forefathers and foremothers, guiding Moorish Americans, Africans, and Asians back to their rightful place among the nations of the earth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Expanding upon the Prophet\u2019s foundation, the successors and adepts who followed in his path<\/strong>\u2014such as The Messenger Elijah Muhammad, The Reformer Dr. Malachi Z. York-El, and other successful Teachers<\/strong>\u2014have preserved and further illuminated the hidden wisdom of the East and West.<\/strong> These great men and women have expounded on the science of self, the keys to sovereignty, and the divine mission of the Moorish American, African, and Asiatic people<\/strong>, drawing from the Holy Koran of the M.S.T.A., the Circle 7 Koran, and the exoteric, esoteric, and neoteric teachings of the Great Adepts.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This expanded Moorish Liturgy<\/strong> serves as a living document<\/strong>, evolving with the unfolding of time yet remaining firmly rooted in the immutable truths of Islamism, Moorish law, and ancient Kemetic, Hebraic, and Arabian wisdom traditions.<\/strong> It is a beacon for those who seek to walk the path of the Adepts and Muqarrabeen (those brought near),<\/strong> the chosen few who uphold the Divine and National principles of Love, Truth, Peace, Freedom, and Justice.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is a comprehensive Liturgy of the Moorish Rite<\/strong> and other associated Rites of the New Ethiopian Order<\/strong> for the Moorish Science Temple of America.<\/strong> It includes prayers, sacred affirmations, scripture readings, supplications, and blessings<\/strong> as a complete guide for the Moorish Rite ceremonies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
