One Prophet • One People • One Census
This Census welcomes every Moorish American who recognizes Noble Drew Ali as the last Prophet in these days, regardless of Temple affiliation, administrative lineage, or local organization.
Whether you belong to an established Temple or helped keep the Prophet's work alive by organizing locally, you are part of the community we seek to count.
We are not here to judge divisions or determine legitimacy. We are here in Love, Truth, Peace, Freedom and Justice to know our people, connect our Temples, and continue the uplifting of fallen humanity.
“Because where there is unity there is strength. Together we stand, divided we fall.”
