God's Profit: The Hidden Story of The Moorish Science Temple

Описание: Noble Drew Ali, born Timothy Drew in 1886 in North Carolina, was a pioneering African American religious leader who founded the Moorish Science Temple of America in 1913. He taught that African Americans were of Moorish descent and advocated for a return to their Islamic heritage, aiming to uplift the community through spiritual and national identity. The movement combined elements of Islam, Christianity, and other philosophies, emphasizing racial pride and self-empowerment. Drew Ali's teachings influenced later movements, including the Nation of Islam. He died in 1929 in Chicago, but his legacy continues through various Moorish Science Temple factions today
