MOTIVATIONAL MONDAY

ACCOMMODATE ALL

Repine not, O man, at the state of servitude; it is the appointment of Allah, and hath many advantages; it removeth thee from cares and solicitudes in life.

The honor of a servant is his fidelity; his highest virtues are submission and obedience.

Peace

🌙Continuing the Vision — A Message from the Principal

Peace and Love to all who have supported and believed in this work so far.
As the Principal of the Moorish Science Temple of America for Black Americans (MSTABA), I am deeply grateful to stand at this stage of the journey — where vision and preparation meet faith and patience.

MSTABA will be a liberal arts–based institution, Islamic in nature, forward-thinking, futurism-led, and progressive. Rooted in our Moorish heritage yet open to all forms of higher understanding, MSTABA will bridge the ancient and the modern — spirit and science, art and discipline, identity and innovation.

As an art major and lifelong student of truth, I’m thrilled for what’s unfolding.
Our mission is more than education — it’s enlightenment, grounded in love, integrity, and purpose.

We’re still in the early stages — with a few more years of educational and institutional requirements before opening our doors — but each day brings us closer to the fulfillment of this divine and intellectual calling.

To everyone who has offered encouragement, patience, and belief in this sacred work:
Thank you.
Your support keeps the light of this mission burning bright.

With gratitude and peace,
Principal Orlando Tongue🌹

🕊️ A Moorish Message to the Nation

Introducing the Moorish Science Temple of America for Black Americans (MSTABA)

From the Desk of the Principal — Orlando Tongue

To our beloved people — descendants of greatness, carriers of the ancient light —

We greet you in the eternal principles of Love, Truth, Peace, Freedom, and Justice.
Today we stand at a turning point in our collective story.
From the foundations laid by Prophet Noble Drew Ali, we rise again — not as a church, but as a collegiate institution, built to educate, awaken, and empower.

The Moorish Science Temple of America for Black Americans (MSTABA) is not a religious order, but a university of heritage and human development — Islamic in its ethics, universal in its reach, and scholarly in its purpose.
Just as Christian and Catholic universities have carried their moral light through education, we now do the same — through a Moorish lens — bringing forward the ancient principles that once shaped civilizations.

Our mission is simple yet profound:

To continue the work of our forefathers and foremothers —
to uplift the underserved, the unseen, and the counted out.

We teach that nationality and identity are the foundation of dignity.
We study science, language, history, and the divine laws that govern creation.
We nurture intellect and spirit together, forming a generation who can think clearly, build collectively, and live peacefully.

We are grateful for every supporter, scholar, and believer in this vision.
Your encouragement reminds us that this work belongs to all of us.
We are building not a monument, but a movement — one grounded in truth, culture, and the unity of purpose that binds all people seeking light.

MSTABA stands as a modern Moorish academy — a place of scholarship, cultural restoration, and compassionate service.
We honor our ancestors by continuing what they began:
the liberation of mind, the refinement of spirit, and the rise of a people in harmony with the Great God of the Universe.

✨ “Education is our worship, and service is our prayer.”
With gratitude, purpose, and love,
Principal Orlando Tongue
