The Moorish Science Temple of America #16

As the Moorish Science Temple of America, we are Moorish American Moslems—descendants of the ancient Moabites, the original people of the land now known as North America. We follow the divine teachings of Prophet Noble Drew Ali, who taught us to proclaim our nationality and divine creed, reconnecting us to our true heritage, culture, and faith in Islam as practiced by our forefathers. We are a spiritual nation dedicated to uplifting fallen humanity by living in accordance with Love, Truth, Peace, Freedom, and Justice. Through knowledge of self, lawful living, and unity, we strive to awaken our people from mental slavery and restore them to their rightful place among the nations of the earth.

The Moorish Science Temple of America is a spiritual and cultural institution where members study oneself through the teachings of Prophet Noble Drew Ali, uphold moral living, and reconnect with their Moorish identity. Activities include weekly meeting, Koranic classes, community outreach, and educational programs. The Temple’s mission is to uplift fallen humanity through love, truth, peace, freedom, and justice.
