The Moorish American Holy Month of RAMADAN
We are not Arabanized Moslems, we are Moorish American Moslems, and we celebrate the holy month in honor of our American born Prophet accomplishments. As Prophet Drew Ali, to this day, is and was the only Americanized Prophet sent to the inhabitants of Africa in North America. Prophet Drew Ali declared his prophet hood in 1925 and declared us a Nation on October 16th 1925. Those of us within this Grand Body celebrate the Holy month of Ramadan in accordance with the Noble Quran, Sura 2:183 which reads: “It is written, Oh you who believe fasting is prescribed for you, as it was prescribed for those before you, so that you may guard against evil”. Therefore; we celebrate Ramadan in the month of October as it was during this month that our Prophet accomplished so many great things that presently benefit us today and in honor of these great accomplishments our celebration during our Holy month of October is set in stone. Ramadan is in deed a sacred month and we should take time during this sacred month to iron out our differences, align and adjust ourselves with the spirit of the Divine Law under our Holy Convent with Allah.
