Sheik Bilal Abdul Salaam-Bey

This is Charley Hughes, better known as Sheik Bilal Abdul Salaam-Bey. I’m currently housed at the Hutchinson Correctional Facility in Hutchinson, Kansas. This piece is called “Knowledge Of Self.” The word science means knowledge and Moorish means self. To be a member of Moorish Science is to have knowledge of self. When we open up the Circle 7 Koran, we are divinely instructed, “Know thyself and Allah.” When we know ourselves there is nothing that can hold us back from fulfilling our purpose in life. Chapter 36, Verse 10 of the Circle 7 states, “Know thyself and the pride of His creation, the line uniting divinity and matter; behold a part of Allah Himself within thee; remember thine own dignity; nor dare descend to evil or to meanness.”

We are Gods and Earths, and we must start acting like it. The first principle of being a god is love, we must have self love because once you have knowledge of self, hate seems to disappear. When you have the one which is knowledge, it can lead to the five which is power. Having knowledge of self allows us to be the masters of our own destiny. We as a nation, must grow and develop, guide and direct, until we reach that great discovery and grand destination. Knowledge is the foundation of all things. Supreme peace and big blessings to the God, Supreme Understanding Allah, Wakeel Allah, Reza Shah King, and all the rest for putting this cypher on my heart. Queens, know that you are loved. You can’t expect love from someone else if you don’t have love for yourself. It starts with knowing yourself–one plus one equals two. Knowledge of self plus knowledge of Allah equals wisdom.

We are the word made flesh. We are Adam Allah the original man. Knowledge is the body of truth. We are truth seekers. We’re not poor by any means. We were given a vast estate at birth, and society stripped it away from us. We didn’t honor mother and father, we cling on to names that deluded to slavery, we strayed after God that which we had no knowledge of. Gods who are my brothers, and I aim to assist you during these times of adversity. Queens and Earths you are my sisters, and I will not forsake you. Stand up against ignorance. Knowledge is the key to civilization. Thank you all for your time, effort, and energy.
