The Holy Koran of the Moorish Science Temple of America (Unabridged‪)‬

The Holy Koran of the Moorish Science Temple of America, divinely prepared by Noble Prophet Drew Ali, stands as one of the most influential spiritual texts produced in early 20th-century Black America. Known widely as the Circle 7 Koran, its teachings form the doctrinal foundation of the Moorish Science Temple—a movement dedicated to restoring the lost nationality, heritage, and spiritual identity of the so-called “Negro” through the reclamation of Moorish ancestry and divine lineage.

This sacred volume presents the genealogy of Jesus and recounts the eighteen missing years of His life—His travels, studies, works, and teachings in India, Tibet, Egypt, Arabia, and Africa—before the age of thirty. These lessons, derived from esoteric and ancient sources, were selected and prepared by Prophet Drew Ali to uplift fallen humanity and return a forgotten people to the knowledge of their true selves, their divine origin, and their rightful place in history.

The text speaks urgently and lovingly to families and future generations. “Know Thyself and Thy Father God Allah” is not merely a motto—it is a call to remembrance. The book instructs mothers and fathers alike to teach their children principles of love instead of hate, truth instead of error, peace instead of confusion, so that households may be set in order and nations may rise in righteousness.

More than a scripture, the Circle 7 Koran is a cultural, historical, and spiritual landmark. It reflects the awakening of Moorish identity during a period when African Americans were seeking dignity, nationality, and divine self-knowledge amid the harsh realities of early 1900s America. Its message of universal peace, noble character, and national restoration continues to resonate for all who seek to understand the Moorish American legacy.

Approach these lessons with sincerity. Use them for good, peace, upliftment, and the healing of humanity, as the Prophet intended.
