Salaam—-In The Name Of ALLAH, The Beneficent, The Merciful——“We, as a clean and pure nation descended from the inhabitants of Africa, do not desire to amalgamate or marry into the families of the pale skin nations of Europe. Neither serve the gods of their religion, because our forefathers are the true and divine founders of the first religious creed, for the redemption and salvation of mankind on earth. Therefore we are returning the Chruch and Christianity back to the European Nations, as it was prepared by their forefathers for their earthly salvation. While we, the Moorish Americans are returning to Islam, which was founded by our forefathers for our earthly and divine salvation”—Noble Drew Ali—–As-Salaam-Alaikum, Sisters Seneca and Sista_Soul, it is great to hear from you both. Iam very glad to hear from Sista_Soul, it has been awhile, and Sister Seneca you have asked a very good question, “Who Is Drew Ali?”. Concerning two of the forerunners of the Nation Of Islam, namely Mr. Marcus Garvey and Noble Drew Ali, Master W. Fard Muhammad-The Great Mahdi stated that both Mr. Garvey and Drew Ali were “FINE MUSLIMS”. For the Mahdi HIMSELF to make such a statement about those two men, we need to study the history of them, for there are signs in their history and great wisdom.—Now to answer our Sister’s question. The Noble Drew Ali was born Timothy Drew in 1886 in North Carolina, North America and was killed, many believe, by the newly organized F.B.I. 1929 in Chicago, Il at one of the Chicago’s police stations. Mr. J. Edger Hoover(a 1/2 original, Freemason) hated Black people and worked hard to kill and over turn ANY organization that sought to help free the Black Nation in North America. Noble Drew Ali’s history is very limited, it is believed that he was apart of the entertainment industry at the time, where he meet people from all over the world, he is said to have travel much, learning about our people’s history. It is also believed that he was once a member of the Prince Hall Masons(Black Masons), and there are SOME masonic symbolism in his teachings.—Drew Ali began the MOORISH SCIENCE TEMPLE in Newark, New Jersey in the mid-1900’s, later moving to Chicago, Il. —-What we students of history must do when looking at the actions of our great people, we must study their actions and what was happening during their time. Here, we have a man who was teaching a FORM of Islam in the early days of 20th Century America, a time when whites could OPENLY place News Ads in the paper to tell when a Black Man or Woman was about to be lynched, a time when mudering a Black person on Sunday, after Chruch, was summertime family fun in many White cities in America, not just in the “South” but in the” North” as-well.
