Abstract:
In the 1920s, the theology, racial history, and healing ways of the Moorish Science Temple of America mediated racial uplift and contemporary health concerns. In 1927, Moorish Science Temple founder Noble Drew Ali created the Moorish Manufacturing Corporation to market his line of healing teas, tonics, and oils. The historiography of the Moorish Science Temple often overlooks these products, but when put in relation with Ali's concept of Moorish identity and the group's approach to physical and spiritual health, these products emerge as material expressions of foundational Moorish Science Temp

AbstractAmong the many individuals and groups espousing affiliation with the Moorish Science Temple of America movement, some continue founding prophet Noble Drew Ali's emphasis on engaging in American citizenship as a religious duty, while others interpret the prophet's scriptures to lend authority to claims of being outside the jurisdiction of American legal authority. Such sovereign Moors, whose actions range from declaration of secession to rejection of drivers or marriage licenses, advance legal discourse rooted in historical narratives, tailor their legal thinking toward practical instru

In 1926, the well-known black scholar Ira De Augustine Reid complained that storefront churches were “a general nuisance. Neither their appearance nor their character warrants the respect of the Community.” Mortified, he described the founders of these informal assemblies: “He conducts his Services on such days as he feels disposed mentally and indisposed financially. To this gentleman of the cloth… the church is a legitimate business.” More to the point, he described his perception of the many southern migrants who aspired to found their own churches and religions, recounting how one “young s

Abstract:
AbstractDuring the world war years of the early twentieth century, new African American religious movements emerged that emphasized black heritage identities. Among these were Rabbi Wentworth Arthur Matthew's Congregation of Commandment Keepers (Jewish) and “Noble” Drew Ali's Moorish Science Temple of America (Islamic). Unlike African American religions of the previous century, these religious communities distinctly captured the ethos of ethnicity (cultural heritage) that pervaded American social consciousness at the time. Their central message of salvation asserted that blacks were an ethnic

Abstract:
Abstract Scholarly accounts of racial formation have regularly focused on the role of state actors or non-state oppressive subjects administering racial systems against a dominated population. Challenges or resistance to state racialization practices by dissenting communities, on the other hand, have not received commensurate engagement, particularly at the level of race-making. Judith Weisenfeld demonstrates in New World A-Coming that African American religious movements such as the Moorish Science Temple of America and the Peace Mission were not merely protesting a racial system but also inv

Abstract:
Although the majority of African American Muslims are now orthodox Sunnī Muslims, they (or perhaps their parents) were first introduced to the Qur'an (or some conception of it) by the Moorish Science Temple or the Nation of Islam. It is ironic that the leaders of these movements, Noble Drew Ali and Elijah Muhammad, knew very little of the Qur'an. This article examines what exactly the word ‘Qur'an’ and the text of the Qur'an meant for these two early African American ‘Muslims’ by examining their use of both the word and the text.

Abstract The Moorish Science Temple of America: A Study Exploring the Foundations of African American Islamic Thought and Culture By Paul H. L. Easterling One of the reasons religious studies is important to the academic process is because it seeks to understand the intricacies of well known human systems of meaning. Also important is research on those religious systems not well known.

This chapter explains how the FBI’s interaction with Muslims predates 9/11 by many decades, going back to the early history of the FBI. It examines the FBI's efforts to surveil and infiltrate the Moorish Science Temple of America, from the 1930s until 1960. Racial assumptions shaped the FBI’s response to this group, particularly following their refusal to conform to the Selective Service Act during the Second World War. The chapter demonstrates how the FBI’s attitudes to race and religion intersected to produce a clear pattern of hostility toward this religious group despite the FBI’s repeated findings that the group was not a threat to national security.

Abstract:
Bu bölümün amacı yirminci yüzyılın başlarında Amerika’da Afro-Amerikalılar arasında ortaya çıkan Moorish Science Temple of America hareketini tanıtmaktır. Bu hareket, Amerika’da siyahilere yönelik kurumsal ırkçılığa bir tepki olarak ve bu tepkinin yanında İslami terminolojiyi ilk defa istihdam ederek kendine özgü bir dinsel-etnik grup şeklinde tarih sahnesine çıkmıştır. Günümüzde etkinliği ve nüfuzu yok denecek kadar azdır. Bununla birlikte Afro-Amerikalıların İslam ve onun terminolojisiyle tanışmalarının ilk evrenidir. Bu sebeple biz de bu bölümde mezkur hareketin tarih sahnesine çıkışını ve temel fikirlerini -hareket üyeleri arasında yaptığımız kısa gözlemlerle birlikte- kısaca tanıtmayı amaçladık. Türk akademi dünyasında bu hareket üzerine henüz bir çalışma olmaması, bu tanıtımı şimdilik kısa ve öz tutmamızın ana gerekçesidir. Bundan dolayı, hareketin dini gruplar sosyolojisi bağlamında nasıl değerlendirileceğini, dini mi yoksa etnik mi bir hareket olduğunu, yeni dini hareketler içerisinde analiz edilip edilemeyeceğini, hareketin doğuşundan günümüze detaylı serancamını, günümüzdeki durumunu vd. ilişkili teorik ve bilimsel tartışmaları dahil etmedik. Çalışmamız kısaca hareketin kurucusunu, temel inanışlarını, ritüellerini ve kurucusunun ölümü sonrası nereye evrildiğini ele alacaktır. Kısa bir sonuç ve teklifle bölümümüz nihayete erecektir.

Abstract:
Abstract The Nubian Islaamic Hebrews (NIH), also known as the Ansaaru Allah (Ansarullah) Community and currently as the Holy Tabernacle Ministries (HTM), is one of a number of African American Muslim movements that have generated new and indigenous forms of Islam in America. This community can best be understood within the black prophetic, millennial, and messianic traditions of the Moorish Science Temple (begun in 1915), the Nation oflslam (arising in the 1930s), and the Five Percent Nation of Gods and Earths (a youth group branching off from the Nation oflslam in the late 1960s). The NIH also parallels the black nationalist and civil rights movements and contributes strongly to the current trend of Afrocentrism in African American social and cultural discourse.I These communities remain relatively unknown in the study of contemporary African American religion and are unacknowledged contributors to the spectrum of religious identity in the larger pluralistic environment of American society. Even the Nation of Islam, which has received perhaps the greatest scholarly and popular attention, has been seen primarily as a sociopolitical movement, with its full religious dimensions and connections to the larger Judaic-Christian-Islamic tradition2 still inadequately explored.

Abstract:
This chapter examines the varieties of religious freedom talk in African American history. It argues that the racial assemblages of the dominant white society severely limited the utility of religious freedom as a way to (re)define African American identity. It begins by showing how often religious freedom worked in support of slavery, segregation, and white supremacy; and how black church leaders rearticulated this freedom as one way to assert the full humanity of black people and to reposition themselves as fully modern, rational and moral modern subjects. The chapter goes on to argue that many of the new religious movements of black urban life—including Father Divine’s Peace Mission Movement, the Moorish Science Temple, and the Nation of Islam—used religious freedom talk in their efforts to redefine their communal identity away from the negative valences of blackness, either replacing race with religion or infusing their blackness with a new cosmic significance. But however they defined themselves, the dominant society denied their claims and overwhelmingly dismissed them as fraudulent and overly political rather than legitimately religious. For the vast majority of African Americans, religious freedom provided little escape from the confines of a racialized oppression.

Abstract Since whiteness is a mark of degeneracy in many animals near the pole, the negro has as much right to term his savage robbers albinos and white devils, degenerated through the weakness of nature, as we have to deem him the emblem of evil, and a descendant of Ham, branded by his father’s curse. I, might he say, I, the black, am the original man. I have taken the deepest draughts from the source of life, the Sun: on me, and on everything around me, it has acted with the greatest energy and vivacity.
