The First Seven Acts (of 49)
What is an act?
o
Federal laws are bills that have
passed both houses of Congress, been signed by the president, passed over the
president's veto, or allowed to become law without the president's
signature. Individual
laws, also
called acts, are arranged by subject in the United States Code.

If the president
signs the bill, it becomes a law. Laws are also known as
Acts of Congress. Statute is another word that is used interchangeably with
law.

An act is a part of a play defined
by elements such as rising action, climax, and resolution. A scene

stage.

These acts or actions of physical
work, effort, writing, speaking, and doing the work of uplifting fallen
humanity give us some insight into the direction planned for the
MDNM and the MSTA by Prophet Noble Drew Ali and the Great God Allah.
Preach with Zeal about these acts,
then plan and work to produce the intended result of the act, in modern day and
time; mass and energy traveling through space and time in the present!
These acts happened when Prophet
Noble Drew Ali was physically alive in the 1920s. It is now over 100 years
later.
Study and Follow these acts and
find success in the Moorish Divine and National Movement.
Acts (1-7)
I. Preach and Promote Economic Security and a Doctrine
of Economic Security.
"In connection with our religious aims and
beliefs, we must promote
economic security. The preaching of economic security among us is by no means as
widespread and intensive as the circumstances demand. No other one thing is
more needed among us at this time than greater economic power.
Better positions for our men and women, more business employment for our boys and girls and bigger incomes will follow our economic security. We shall be secure in nothing until we have economic power. A beggar people cannot develop the highest in them, nor can they attain a genuine enjoyment of the spiritualities of life."
-MOORISH LEADER'S HISTORICAL MESSAGE TO AMERICA, Prophet Noble Drew Ali
“The Doctrine of economic security is by no means as widespread and
intensive as is needed.”
II.
Be Industrious
“The industrious acts of the Moslems of the
northwest and southwest Africa. These are the Moabites, Hamathites, Canaanites,
who were driven out of the land of Canaan, by Joshua, and received permission
from the Pharoahs of Egypt to settle in that portion of Egypt. In later years they formed kingdoms.
These kingdoms are
called this day Morocco, Algiers, Tunis, Tripoli, etc.”
Holy Koran of the Moorish
Science Temple of America

Have Press, Media, News, Communications, Broadcasting, etc.
“The
greatest weapon in the hands of our group today in America is our press.”
The
prophet also launched a publishing company, which also provided jobs and
business opportunities for those of part of the Moorish American community.
IV.
Have and Use an Upliftment Fund
“It is through the faithful Moors
that contribute to the Movement and Uplifting Funds. The ones that paid their
divine respect to me and the movement will be remembered. That is why I’m
calling upon all faithful Moors to increase their faithfulness to me your
profit and your divine Moorish movement. I need financing I needed bad. Never
before have I needed finance as badly as I do at present, that I may shove
aside the discord that is facing the nation. It all comes to jealousy because
of my “fame and nobility.””

Noble Drew Ali Saviour of Humanity”, A. Hopkins-Bey D.M.
