And today I have a presentation which is academic. It's a scholarly presentation. So whoever watches it, they cannot deny the ties of Islam that are connected to what we know as the system of Freemasonry. So I dedicate this to you, my brother. And without further ado, let me just uh jump right into it.

SPEAKER_03 1:34

All right, uh, do you see this, brother Mike?

SPEAKER_03 2:06

Let me see. I'm gonna try to add it to the stage. Perfect. Got it right here. Let's go.

SPEAKER_00 2:12

Okay, perfect. Let me see. All right.

The Hidden History Claim

SPEAKER_00 2:21

So welcome everyone. I start this with greetings and peace. Asalamu Laikum, peace be with you and yours, and Bismillah Rahman Rahim, in the name of Allah, the beneficent, the most merciful. Today is a hidden history revealed on Freemasonry's tied to Islam, which is basically a scholarly and academic presentation I have put together. I dedicate this to Brother Uh Mikey Fever, to Brother Ron Brown, to the N. White family. And this is this is for you. And it basically covers like the Sufi mysticism and Islamic philosophy, which was connected to the Knights Templar. So as we look at the uh the Middle Eastern roots, we see that Freemasonry is the final vessel of a knowledge system originating in the Islamic world. The Knights Templar, living in Islamic Jerusalem, absorbed Sufi teachings and Arabic sciences while they were stationed at Al-Aqsa Mosque. They fled to Scotland after 1307, after they were being persecuted in France by the Catholic Church. So when they went to Scotland after 1307, they embedded this knowledge into rituals, evolving into the speculative Freemasonry we know today. Now, this thesis or this presentation here overturns Eurocentric myths, revealing a continuous ancient lineage spanning centuries. Now, the Templars in the Islamic world, they arriving in Jerusalem in 1119, the Templars embedded themselves within the Al-Aqsa Mosque, termed, quote, Templars of Islam, unquote. They established unprecedented alliances with Muslim leaders. Through encounters with Sufi mystics and scholars, they absorbed concepts of sacred geometry and monotheistic mysticism, fundamentally reshaping their underlying philosophy. And there were many times where they betrayed their own leaders, the Frankish interest at that time, because a lot of the Templars were connected to the French. So they would betray them in order to favor their Islamic brothers. There was also a story of a man coming to pray to Al-Aqsa Mosque while the Templars were in control, and another crusader, low-rank soldier protested the decision, and the Templars sided with the Muslim that allow him to pray in his masjid. So they were the defenders of all faiths. You know, they're not like the what a lot of the bigots today do. They use the knight's templar in a derogatory way towards Islam.

SPEAKER_03 5:01

Say it again.

SPEAKER_00 5:03

That's not who they were.

SPEAKER_03 5:04

Yep. Say it again, man. Tell it. Can you say that one more time?

SPEAKER_00 5:08

So the Templars, the Templars were defenders of all faiths, you know, just like how Saladin himself was a part of this knightly order, and he promised the Christian pilgrims protection of their holy sites. Even the holy today is protected by a Muslim family and protection of their relics and ancient sites. The Templars were the same in return, you know, to Islam. You know, they loved and respected their Muslim brothers, and now we have uh white supremacy that has kind of hijacked the Templar narrative, and it has nothing to do with them.

SPEAKER_03 5:43

Exactly. I'm glad you said that.

SPEAKER_00 5:45

We see the excavations beneath the mount. And when the Templars conducted extensive excavations beneath the Temple Mount, discovering ancient scrolls and the Essene records, and that's what they were doing. These profound discoveries revealed historical connections between Judaism, early Christianity, and Egyptian monotheism. This ancient truth shook orthodox foundations, becoming the secret doctrine that will later be transmitted directly into Freemasonry as well. And Islam itself, um, I have to teach the viewers that Islam is not what you see on the literal surface. They tell us that Islam is an ancient religion that was revealed over time and stages since the time of Adam, and it was revealed that same ancient religion from the different Sumerians, Egyptians, uh the Essenes, early Christianity. And in Surah Five, Allah tells you that I have now perfected your religion. It was revealed like in a Masonic degree fashion.

Sufism As A Ritual Blueprint

SPEAKER_00 6:50

That's a fact. We look at um the Islamic golden age, starting with the advanced culture. Now the Islamic cities housed vast libraries preserving classical Greek philosophy and single-handedly advancing global intellectual culture. The scientific pioneers, the Eastern scholars pioneered groundbreaking disciplines such as algebra, chemistry, advanced astronomy, right? The name of the stars are in Arabic, holistic medicine and architecture, the architectural legacy. The Templars witnessed sacred geometry in mosques, concepts that ultimately appeared in Gothic architecture and Masonic symbolism. Now, the spiritual blueprint, right, of the Templars is Sufism, which is the inner mysticism, inner temple of Islam. Now, Sufism places heavy emphasis on inner purification, symbolic initiation, and the deep pursuit of allegorical truth. Its structured stages of enlightenment and master disciple hierarchies closely mirror the degrees of Masonry. Potent Sufi symbolism, the light, right, Allah is the light of the heavens and the earth, sacred geometry and inner perfection. It permeates Masonic ritual. Now, the concept of the great architect of the universe aligns significantly more with Islamic theology than orthodox dogma. So the great architect or that belief in a supreme being is Tawhid. It's an Islam where you have to believe in a um you have to have that foundation of faith.

SPEAKER_03 8:27

Yep, you have to. Well, yeah, I'm glad you said that, man. Um, as far as like the great architect and the universe concept and the the structural, the spiritual and mysticism, the mystical structure of Sufiism. Like even down to what people see on the uh surface level of the spinning around, the twirling, that's going in, that's the infinity of going into the universe, 360 degrees of constantly spinning until you hit a certain level, as you deem as a trans whatsoever, where you become one with God. It's like it's the same concept of um how should we put it? Like, you know, when they say as above, so below, or yes, without profaning, when light descends from above, it comes down in a spiral in motion. Go ahead. I don't want to hold you up. Go ahead, bro.

SPEAKER_00 9:17

No, no, no. That's that that's right, brother Mike. Um, you know, I always uh appreciate your input. And you know, to add on to that, if you see the Kaaba, the rite of circumandulation, they go around the Kaaba seven times. Even in Masonic Initiation, they take you around the lodge in a circular motion. So it's all all of these different circular things define that 360 degrees. Alhamdulillah, thanks for sharing that.

SPEAKER_03 9:42

Exactly. And you break mathematically, you gotta break it down when you get that 360, you deduce it. That's right.

SPEAKER_00 9:49

So now we look at the Essenes and early Christianity.

Essenes, Early Christianity, And Scrolls

SPEAKER_00 9:54

Most people don't even talk about the Essenes and their teachings. They practice devout communal living, rigorous ritual purification, and the esoteric interpretation of ancient scripture. Now, while while these foundational teachings profoundly influenced early Christianity, they were ultimately suppressed by the rigid Roman church. Now, the Templar, you know, they discovered the writings of the Essenes, it revealed an original form of Christianity that closely resembled Islamic monotheism. These unified values of mystical interpretation were shaped by Islam and seamlessly adopted by Freemasonry. So that's what a lot of the Islamic scholars tell us, too, that Christianity at that time was a pure religion, and over time, you know, things happened. That's why Allah sent Prophet Muhammad and the final revelation to basically correct the errors of all of the previous revelations or what had been corrupted, you know, by those that should have done anything. So now we see the Islamic influence on ritual, you know, the ritual adaptation. The Templar ceremonies incorporated elements of Islamic prayer, Sufi initiation rites, and profound Arabic symbolism.

SPEAKER_03 11:14

Hold on. Hold on. You froze up for a second.

SPEAKER_00 11:23

Okay. Do you see me, Brother Mike?

SPEAKER_03 11:26

Oh yeah, um, still up, but no, I don't see your camera. I think your camera's off. You gotta turn your camera on.

SPEAKER_00 11:34

Uh let me see something.

SPEAKER_03 11:37

Tell me we're dropping too much information on here.

SPEAKER_00 11:42

They're messing with my presentation. And this is I'm just getting started.

SPEAKER_03 11:46

Okay, now go ahead.

SPEAKER_00 11:47

All right, let me just continue. Let me just continue. So basically, the Templar ceremonies incorporated much of Islam into its symbolism and the shared aesthetics, right? The distinct use of white mantles, geometric emblems, and the binding secret oaths perfectly mirrored Middle Eastern practices. The scientific integration, right? The Arabic numerology, they teach Arabic numerals in school, advanced astrological systems, and cosmic architectural principles were integrated into the order. The Masonic evolution is the emphasis on moral purification and symbolic death and rebirth initiation. It reflects these indisputable origins. And the Sufi path is Teskia ulnafs, the purification of the heart and suppressing the ego. Now we see the fall of the Templars.

Templars Persecuted Then Flee North

SPEAKER_00 12:40

By 1300, the incredibly wealthy Templars posed a direct threat to European monarchs. King Philip IV fabricated charges of heresy, compelling Pope Clement V to dissolve the order in 1312. Now, many knights they fled to Scotland, finding critical sanctuary among esoteric bloodlines who helped meticulously preserve their ancient secrets and rituals. So the Templars that stayed in France, they basically became martyrs. Some people say that those were the true Templars, while the ones that escaped to Scotland preserved the teachings and what we know as Masonry today. Now, Scotland became their refuge, right? Scotland became the remote sanctuary where targeted Templar traditions safely evolved into Freemasonry. The earliest recorded Masonic constitutions boldly appear in Scotland in 1598, predating the English Grand Lodges by over a century. And they preserved the esoteric. You know, these secluded Scottish lodges actively preserved Templar rituals, Islamic symbolism, and Middle Eastern esoteric teachings. Freemasonry definitely emerged not as a simple stonemason guild, but as the direct continuation of Templar esotericism. And the Scotland area was connected to the Moors as well, right? You know, you have The Last King of Scotland with Idi Yamine, and even at Idi Amin's funeral, they were playing bagpipes. So it's it's it's all connected. Even um, I recommend Forrest Vidaker's movie, uh, The Last King of Scotland. I mean, um, they do tell you the truth, you know, without telling you officially.

SPEAKER_03 14:25

Of course, who he was, yeah, definitely. Legacy on what he was wearing.

SPEAKER_00 14:31

That's right. So it means and the Moors, um, especially some places in England, they have places called Moors Gate. Um, it's all connected. Even Martin Lawrence's movie, The Black Knight, where he was teleported to medieval England and they first uh identified him as a Moor.

SPEAKER_03 14:49

Yep.

SPEAKER_00 14:50

Yep, yep. So now we look at the 33rd degree revelation, the true oath.

Scottish Rite And The 33rd Degree

SPEAKER_00 14:56

So in the 33rd and final degree of the Scottish Rite, um, of course, right, Scotland, Scottish Rite, the identity of the Templars, the initiate is given a shocking revelation that he is symbolically the spiritual descendant of the true Knights Templar. He's instructed to uphold the legacy of Jochti Moley and to swear a spiritual vengeance against the historical enemies of the Templars, namely the Knights of Malta, the hospitallers, the Catholic Church. That's why the Catholic Church and Masonry are always beefing with each other. Now, this vengeance is not one of violence, but of remembrance and truth-telling. The candidate learns the truth that was buried by the church, that the Templars carried hidden knowledge from the East, safeguarded by mystics, Sufis, and Moors. Now they tell you, okay, um, this is a symbolic teaching, but in some cases, between let's say the 33rd level and the Knights of Malta and the Catholic Church, it's like kind of on site for them. So for them, like uh the hospitallers and the knights templar, you know, they're the ops. Now we see the great architect, the Islamic Tawheed. Now, the Masonic concept of the great architect aligns closely with Islamic theology, emphasizing a transcendent creator who designs the universe with mathematical precision. And another thing I want to add about the 33rd is it's it doesn't have the value that it is supposed to hold anymore. Because when if you look at it from the um, let's say mainstream Grand Lodge perspective, right? They they're usually looking for guys who are in finance, they're lawyers, they're involved in law enforcement, anything political. So it's not about a lifetime achievement, right? Because there is no degree higher than a master mason.

SPEAKER_03 16:48

It's not philosophical as much anymore. You know, it doesn't hold any value.

SPEAKER_00 16:52

And so most of the people that I've seen, I mean, I have met some good people, but most of the people that I've seen is uh, you know, they're they were not of a good character. So having a 33rd doesn't mean that you had a lifetime achievement. It's it's the same in Prince Hall, right? If you got the money and the connects, or if you come from an influential background, you know, they just give it to you.

SPEAKER_03 17:16

See, that's why that's why they probably vet people, you know what I'm saying? Like um you gotta earn your keep.

SPEAKER_04 17:22

Uh-huh.

SPEAKER_03 17:23

You gotta prove in your character, your conduct. And you know, real brothers will come across those brothers and then we'll put them in a place. You understand? If you're not living out the virtues of what you're practicing.

SPEAKER_00 17:34

That's right. That's right. And you know, even with me, like I still got the good brothers, you know, who are out there and they support me and my work, and I think that's what matters most at the end. So now we move on to the sacred geometry, where the Islamic architecture utilizes the complex geometric patterns reflecting divine order and cosmic harmony. You see this in the masjids and the architecture. Now, the Templars they studied these Eastern designs, incorporating them into monumental Gothic structures. So they tell you that the Masons came from the Stone Guild, Mason Guilds of Europe. So those traditions were passed down to them from Islam. Now, Freemasonry adopted these precise tools to represent immutable moral and spiritual truths. So they turned that into a speculative science. Now we look at the Arabic origins of science, whereas the scientific concepts absolutely central to Freemasonry, algebra, astronomy, optics originated in the Islamic world, the seven liberal arts of the fellowcraft degree. Now the visionary scholars such as the Al-Khwarzimi, Ibn Sinna, and Al-Biruni established principles that shaped European thought. The Templars encountered these revolutionary ideas firsthand, transforming their understanding of the natural world. Freemasonry's core emphasis on reason, logic, and enlightenment continues this rich Islamic intellectual tradition. Now the Sufi Templar connection, right, the ritual parallels. Now the Sufi brotherhoods practiced transformative rituals involving symbolic death, rebirth, purification, and the revelation of secret knowledge. These practices so closely resemble Masonic degrees that they suggest a direct and unbroken lineage. Now, the inner transformation is Freemasonry's strict emphasis on inner transformation and moral discipline perfectly reflects Sufi influence. The philosophical journey from profound darkness to divine light is fundamentally an ancient Sufi concept. And even in the Dervish orders, like you have to be recommended by two brothers of the order, then there's a probationary period, then you have to like memorize the ritual and the Quran. So it's like basically like hand in hand with one another.

SPEAKER_03 20:01

Gotcha, got you.

SPEAKER_00 20:03

So moving on, we look at the Rex Deus bloodline, right? The guardians of the lineage. The Rex Deus families claiming descent from Jesus, David, and the Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon them, valiantly preserved esoteric knowledge suppressed by the church. They formed vital alliances with the Templars and early Scottish Freemasons. Now, but by providing this crucial protection, they successfully embedded their sacred teachings of lineage and moral purity deeply into the Masonic tradition. Now, many people of the lineage of the prophets family and uh these other esoteric leaders that are out there, they were all connected with each other through the Rex Deus bloodline. So it's it's it's a system that goes way back.

SPEAKER_03 20:53

Hold on a second, brother.

Chivalry, Gatekeepers, And Erased Influence

SPEAKER_03 20:54

People, people, the brother is dropping a lot of information on this show. I don't see y'all running up those likes. Hit that like button, share it. Comment, participate, because the brother is dropping a lot of information where you could go home and research it yourself. All right, appreciate what the brother's doing. Hit that like button, keep on hitting that like, share it, comment, get involved. We got super chats. All right, peace. Continue, my brother.

SPEAKER_00 21:22

Thank you, brother Mike. So now we look at the chivalry, right? Alpha Tua. Now, Alpha Tua was a system of chivalry and knighthood that was introduced into Europe. And we look at the Eastern codes, right? Muslim warriors, they practiced profound codes of honor, strict discipline, and spiritual devotion long before European knights. The Templar adoption, the Knights Templar learned and integrated these codes of chivalry directly from noble Islamic warriors during their stay. The Masonic ideals, Freemasonry's unwavering focus on honorable moral conduct, service, and brotherhood. Mirrors these chivalric ideas and ideals. And they they do that. They demonstrate it today through the Knights Templar, through the Demolet, through the Scottish Rite, even many European customs and traditions has chivalry in it, all from Islam. The ethical foundation, the foundational ethics guiding the modern Masonic Lodge, were undeniably shaped by the rich traditions of the East. So the concept of being honorable in the knighthood that comes from Islam. Now, the problem we have today is the suppression of the influence, right? The Roman church and even the modern gatekeepers in the Masonic world, you know, they systematically sought to erase evidence of Islamic influence on early Christianity and the Knights Templar. Now, the Middle Eastern contributions to science and spirituality were aggressively minimized in historical narratives. Freemasonry inherited the suppressed knowledge, safeguarding the ancient wisdom through complex allegories and secretive symbolic rituals to avoid persecution. Now the vessel of Islamic wisdom, the ritual and symbol, Freemasonry diligently preserved profound Islamic wisdom through its highly structured esoteric degrees and complex allegorical teachings. The core philosophy, right, the fraternity's unyielding emphasis on geometry, absolute monotheism, and internal moral purification reflects the direct Middle Eastern influence. Now the global tradition that you know shows itself today, you know, fundamentally rooted in the shared ancient heritage of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam.

SPEAKER_03 23:50

I wanted to add something to before you continue.

SPEAKER_00 23:52

Yes, brother.

SPEAKER_03 23:53

And for those who don't know, like I'm glad you meant like you mentioned about the situation as the ops amongst the Vatican and you know the what we know as Freemasonry today. But it was originally with the with the Knights Templar. And we said that they were rich, and people have to understand the Knights Templar were a rich organization or brotherhood that were also I don't know, should I quote it as this? But correct me if I'm wrong, brother. They were used as mercenaries to fight at one point when the church used them. Am I correct?

SPEAKER_00 24:26

Yeah, that's right.

SPEAKER_03 24:27

They were used, and something that Pope Philip came up with a story saying, you know what, they are anti-God, blasphemous. We should just go ahead and wipe them out because they didn't want they didn't want to pay a particular debt for what he what they what they discovered or recovered from him. Something like that. So I just wanted to touch on touch on that to let people know where we're going with this and how they turn what we see today and you know in the past as far as the Inquisition, how all this is tied back to the Inquisition, right? Yes. Alright, gotcha.

SPEAKER_00 25:02

And it's and it's also tied to the um if you if you look at how the Vikings, even the Vikings were battling Islam, and the Vikings are directly connected to what we know as the Knights Templar. Even if you look at the the game Assassin's Creed Valhalla, right? Like you are a Viking that's eliminating all of the enemies of the Knights Templar. So the Knights Templar could be reborn through Alfred, Alfred the Great at that time. So these even these video games are telling you the truth. And how in those Scandinavian Viking countries, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, they have their own form of Freemasonry called the Swedish Rite, which is Christian only. Like if you're not a Christian, you can't join. So they themselves are preserving themselves to be like the true Knights Templar as well. So it's all interconnected, you know, with those guys, then with England and Scotland and the Spanish Inquisition with the Jesuits. Even uh the Jesuits had a Moorish presence, right, with Yasuke. They took Yasuke to Japan and the Japanese um leader Nobunaga Oda was able to free Yasuke from slavery. So all of these brotherhoods and esoteric traditions are connected with each other, and they try to show you the truth, right, in the movies and video games. You just gotta have the eyes to peep, you know, what's being shown to you. Gotcha. So we see the evidence in the Masonic ritual, you know, the lodge rituals that contain undeniable clear references to Middle Eastern traditions and precise Arabic numerology, how you go around the rite of circumambulation around the lodge and around the altar. Same thing with the Kaaba in Mecca. The deliberate use of geometric symbolism and monotheistic theology firmly points to ancient Eastern roots. And there's no other religion besides Islam that does the rite of circumambulation, right? Going around the Kaaba, and that is demonstrated precisely in Masonry. The initiate's conceptual journey from darkness into radiant light perfectly mirrors Islamic spiritual progression inherited directly from the Templars, the modern Freemasonry preserves these sacred ancient ceremonies beautifully intact.

SPEAKER_03 27:21

Got you. And he said the Kaaba going around this the circuit. It's so it's so beautiful and deep. Like if people really do the research, and I know you already know this already, but when he said going around in Kaaba the Seven Times, it's not only physically you're doing this, you're also doing this spiritually, because it also connects to the seven chakras, the seven um, the seven parts of the body of the of the man, the astral life, the astrological body, the cosmology, the soul, and everything else, it all ties into that.

SPEAKER_00 27:53

That's right. And you know, even la ila ha ila la, la ila ha il la la, it's it's connected to like uh the seven syllables, the seven chakras. You go around the Kaaba seven times, which is the letter G, the seventh letter, symbolizing the connection with God. So it's all it's all interrelated, and how basically um I remember one of my Sufi friends who went to the Hajj, he said when he was walking around the Kaaba, he felt an entity took out his heart and weighed it on a scale to see to see if he was pure or not. And he felt like um it's it's all connected because Islam is the same religion since the time of ancient Egypt. Uh, it's an ancient religion. So in ancient Egypt, they call it the scales of Ma'at. And in Islam, they call it the scales of Mizan, how your heart will be weighed on a scale to see if you are found worthy and pure to be initiated into the further mysteries.

SPEAKER_03 28:54

You know what's so deep with you with you saying that even um people may not agree with this uh this character, Alistair Crowley found himself in Egypt.

SPEAKER_00 29:04

Yeah, that's right. I even even Alistair Crowley, I covered him in a book and presentation, and all of that stuff, even OTO and Talema, right? They're call each other caliphs and all that stuff, was influenced by Islam. So Western occultism and esotericism, right? The OTO, Talima, Masonry, Secret Chiefs, it all comes from the East. But unfortunately, you know, the white gatekeepers of the West, they never acknowledged or gave Islam any credit. I'm like, you know what, then I gotta do something about it. I'm a builder, the tools were given to me, I'm gonna build it on my own.

SPEAKER_03 29:42

That's it.

SPEAKER_00 29:44

So if they're not talking about what you want, then in the age of technology, right? You could publish your books, you could put your videos out there, you counteract it. You know, that's your responsibility to do so.

SPEAKER_03 29:58

Exactly.

SPEAKER_00 29:59

So as we continue, we look at this cross that was found in a Knights Templar Church in Anatolia, which is modern-day Turkey. And look at this cross, right? And it's it resembles the Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him. And you're not supposed to do this, right, to show any image of the Prophet. But this right here was a basically a cross that was found in a Knights Templar church. This is the accusation that they get that they were worshipping Prophet Muhammad, right? Baphomet, Mahomet. And that basically, you know, Baphomet is the Insan Al-Kamil in Sufism, where you master your animalistic side, your masculine and feminine, and you basically become the perfect human being. That's Insan Al-Kamil, the perfect human. So even if you fold up the cross, it becomes a cube. And it was the Al-Bana Sufi order in the Middle East who told the Templars that you have the cross, but we'll teach you the meaning of the cross, right? You might have it, but you don't know the meaning of it. So even you see here this cross that was found in um Knight's Templar Church, you know, it's uh quite self-evident, you know, that they were honoring the prophet in their own way. That's deep right there, man.

SPEAKER_03 31:14

First time seeing it.

SPEAKER_00 31:15

That's right. Um, they they they try to suppress this image um online, but um, even even um you have the uh teacher who's a former Mason, his name is Leo Zagami. Even he features this image in his book on uh Freemasonry, how it's connected to Islam and all of that. I mean, he comes from like a different propaganda perspective, right? To demonize Islam, but even he shows this image in his book on this cross that was found in the Knights Templar church. So now we look at the Arabization of the Knights Templar. You know, the charges against them accuse them of being crypto Muslim with worshiping of Baphomet, Mohammed, Muhammad, and denial of Christ. You know, they were persecuted on a Friday, which is a holy day. Exactly. Of course, Muhammad is the Insan al-Camil, you know, it's not anything satanic or negative. The Templars made treaties in the Holy Land with Muslims contrary to French interest and betraying Frankish armies to Muslims during periods of conflicts. Robert of St. Albans, an English knights templar who converted to Islam and married Saladin's niece, and he fought against the Crusader forces. Now, in the 1270s, the Templar commander in Sidon, Matthew Savaj, also spelt Sir Maj, and the Mamluk ruler of Egypt, Sultan Babers, were blood brothers. Hugu de Paines, right, the co-founder and first grandmaster, was a descendant of Moorish Sufis. So if you look at the Pagani family crest of Italy, that's where Hugu de Pain came from in Sicily. If you look at their family crest, it's the head of three Moors on there. And if you if you tie this all together, see how even the so the Mamluk ruler of Egypt and the Templar commander in Sidon, they were blood brothers. This is what I referred to earlier in this presentation, the Rex Deus bloodline. So these bloodlines they still exist today. All these people behind the scenes, they're all friends with each other, they're related to each other, they're friends with each other. Talk about it till this very day. I mean, it's a stage, brother. You know, the world is a stage.

SPEAKER_03 33:30

We got that. That's another that's another conversation we're gonna get into there. Because I, you know, I was like heavy into that stuff, you know, with the 13 families behind the scenes and everything else.

SPEAKER_00 33:39

And man, it's a lot. It's it's definitely a lot. And now we look at the Mediterranean Pass. The Mediterranean Pass was a recognition mechanism

The Mediterranean Pass And Moorish Masons

SPEAKER_00 33:50

conferred upon Knights Templar and later Knights of Malta to ensure safe passage across seas and territories governed by the Moors, right? You know, the rulers of the seas, the non-Christians. Navigators. That's right. You know, its function was initiatic and diplomatic rather than theological, indicating a shared symbolic language across religious boundaries. Now, this is from the Freemasons Quarterly Review, 1846, in London, the Grand Lodge of London. So this is from an English Grand Lodge source, right? And it was from brother uh L C. Delude. And he talks about, you know, the Mediterranean past, right? Where he talks about the order of the Knights Templar commenced about 728 years ago. Like he's talking about this in his time, 1846. And then he talks about right here, you could see, you know, they were instructed with certain passwords, signs, and tokens to pass their way unmolested among the Algerian and Moorish Masons. He's talking about Moorish Masons right here, and Algerian who were North Africans. Now, the Mediterranean Pass, a degree only given to the Knights Templar and afterwards to the Knights of Malta, was given to them to make use in case of obstruction or hindrance, right? It was a token of brotherly love, right? To prove that amicable brotherly agreement was established between Christian, Turk, Moor, and Jew to be recognized as brothers of the same family, to be on the level and children of the great architect of the universe. So the Mediterranean Pass was a system of initiation, right? So they tell you that, oh, masonry was originated in 1717. That's not true. That's true, right? This the system of degrees, signs, tokens, passwords. You have an English Grand Lot source, right? You can look this up and see it for yourself, that give credit to the Moorish Masons and to the um aspect of the Mediterranean past degree.

SPEAKER_03 35:56

Brother, you see how you said, um, and again, this is no disrespect to the Moore Science Temple of America, peace to you, brothers. Islam I always heard that the Masons are the custodians for the Moors they upheld, which is true. But you have some Moors that take offense when you call them Masons or try to liken them to be Masons, they take offense to that. I believe from what you presenting, that probably came from the fact that they felt that they overshare too much information with outsiders, that they hold that kind of resentment. Because, you know, we heard things of Noble Drew Ali. Some people say noble Drew Ali was a Mason. And again, I don't want the Moors to come after me, because you know, listen, I'm just speculating. I'm not trying to try to disrespect the man. Do you believe in your heart that he was a traveling man or he just was exposed to that knowledge?

SPEAKER_00 36:48

I I believe he was a part of the mysteries because uh he also went to Egypt and he was initiated into the mysteries in Egypt. And also Muhammad Abdu and Jamal El-Afgani, who were both Sufi masters and masons too, they came to Chicago in the late 1800s in the winter to visit the parents of Noble Juwali. So I believe these hidden masters of the East, whether you look at Master Fard Muhammad of the Nation of Islam, you look at the uh Jamal Al-Afgani and Muhammad Abdu who came and planted the seeds for Noble Juali, how Noble Jur Ali went to the East. It's all hidden initiatic systems and brotherhoods that we are not taught on the surface level. And you know, for the Moors, I always, as a Mason, you know, I gave so much credit to the Moors. I'm even showing you here how an English Grand Lodge source is talking about Moorish Masons and the Mediterranean past degree. So this is actually honoring them that hey, you were the ones, you know, it's it all came from you.

SPEAKER_03 37:49

You know, and I want to add to the shout out to the um ancient free Moors, right? Those brothers, man. They they out there doing their thing. Salute to y'all. Gotta get them back on the show because they always speak about that. Like, whose masonry are you practicing?

SPEAKER_00 38:02

That's right, that's right.

SPEAKER_03 38:03

You know, like Angela, they speak of Angelo Solomon and all that. Oh, it's pretty deep, man. But go ahead, bro.

SPEAKER_00 38:08

Yep, that's right. So uh, as we continue, my brother, we see the Kaaba,

Kaaba Parallels And Malcolm X

SPEAKER_00 38:13

right? Most people do not know inside the Kaaba, you got the three pillars and the altar. And you see the black and white cloth, right? That represents the black and white tiles, the duality of the nature that we're dealing with. You're going around the Kaaba seven times, and everyone's wearing the cloth, right? Everyone's on the level, they're wearing the ihram. And if you look at it um from an anagram, it spells out Hiram. This is what changed Malcolm X's life. He went there and he saw that whether you were a president, CEO, a janitor, everyone was a brother equally participating in the same ritual. And you look at the Masonic tracing board, you see strength and beauty. They always talk about you know jaquin and boa as the pillars, but they don't talk about wisdom. You gotta walk the middle path. Yeah, and one of the signs that the Prophet Muhammad said, peace be upon him, the hadith, that the three signs of Allah, the sun, the moon, and the all-seeing eye, right? The Al-Basir, one of the 99 names of Allah, that Allah is always watching you. So you have strength and beauty, but you you gotta walk, you gotta take strength and beauty and walk with wisdom, the middle pillar. You gotta walk up your path.

SPEAKER_03 39:30

And equilibrium.

SPEAKER_00 39:32

That's right. And you see the um the cornerstone, right? They say the meteorite that fell from heaven, and the cornerstone of the Kaaba is the meteorite from heaven. So it's basically the house not made with hands, what they tell us in masonry, the the Grand Lodge, the celestial Grand Lodge, and also above the Kaaba, you have the celestial Kaaba, and those what Allah dictates to the world comes through the celestial Kaaba, and those then orders are then carried out divinely in this reality. So it's all a uh circular 360-degree reality of basically perfecting your character and honoring you know thyself and the world around you with the short time that we are all given here.

SPEAKER_03 40:19

Exactly. Just visiting it's so as above, so is below. I'm gonna keep saying that on this show. I know they heard on many shows of me saying that, but that's how it is. It's even your Lord's prayer.

SPEAKER_00 40:29

And and and also, my brother, um, you know, to uh add something here is like no other uh like it's it's like right there in front of you, right? The pillars, the altar, going around it, you know, in masonry, they make you do the same thing when you're being initiated. Yeah, what were you saying, brother, about the Lord's Prayer?

SPEAKER_03 40:49

No, I'm listening because you dropped in some Jews there. Um I'm looking at the Copper, the inside. I said, like, as above, so is below, like the will of God comes from the above, the celestial lodge down to the down to the earth. So the Lord's prayer says that that will be done on earth as it is in heaven. You know what I'm saying?

SPEAKER_00 41:07

That's right. So as we continue, we look at the Quranic verses for each degree of craft freemasonry.

Quran Verses Mapped To Craft Degrees

SPEAKER_00 41:15

Now, the inner apprentice degree, right? You're coming from darkness to light. This is Tawakul. Like you believe in Allah, you got the you know, blindfold, and you take one step in front of the other. Do not fear any danger and walk your path. Which is chapter two, verse two hundred and fifty-seven from the Quran. Allah is the guardian protector of the believers, He brings them out of darkness and into the light. So do not fear any danger and walk your path. The first degree. The second degree is the arts and sciences, the fellow craft. Chapter 58, verse 11. You who believe, if you are told to make room for one another in your meetings, right? The Masonic meetings, then do so, and God will make room for you. And if you are told to rise up, how they hit the gavel and you must rise up, you do so. God will raise up by many degrees those of you who believe and those who have been given knowledge. He is fully aware of what you do, the middle chamber, right? The knowledge and all of that in between the staircase and how you're told to reflect on these realities. The third third degree, the Master Mason, chapter 21, verse 35, every soul will taste death. We test you. That's Allah saying that we test you with good and evil, and as a trial, then to us you will all be returned. Memento mori. This is why the Muslim or the Mason should not fear death. It is a final initiation that happens to you before you move on to the next reality. So that is an important part of why we are here. Even the ancient Egyptians, right? Death is only the beginning. That was their purpose in life to die.

SPEAKER_03 42:59

Exactly. That's this initiatorial step because you must even down to the Christ that many believe in, that was initiatorial step. You must go through that.

SPEAKER_00 43:08

Yes.

SPEAKER_03 43:09

That death. Yep, the renewal.

SPEAKER_00 43:11

That's right, brother. So now, as we move on to the three stages of realization, it's in the Sufi path, they call it Iman, Islam, and Isan. The first, right? Iman, belief, faith, secrecy, and full trust in the grand architect of the universe, the inner apprentice degree. The second degree, Islam, submission, obedience, knowledge, and practice to reflect on your growth and continue the pursuit of knowledge, fellow craft. So the first two degrees teach you secrecy and obedience. The third degree, Isan, a righteous, upright character, and living a good life with the time you have been granted, the Master Mason, die before you die. And die before you die basically means you let go of this world, you know the reality. Of what it is, right? You don't sell your soul, even the 32nd degree, right? So, what they do in 32nd degrees, they have this character named Constance. He's a knight. And the devil basically appears to him and offers him fame and fortune and riches. And Constant rejects all of that to be a martyr, right? So at the end, he gets martyred in the cause of God. And the main teaching in that degree, the sublime prince of the royal secret, is that my faith is in God, my faith is in God. And then the 33rd, of course, you know, you're given the next templar identity after the martyrdom. So die before you die. So all three stages must be honored fully, or you are just following mere rituals without any meaning and inevitably leading to hypocrisy. You must practice what you preach, otherwise, it's all meaningless and wasted effort. There is a difference between a learning phase and an application phase of knowledge. Also, you need a guide and a mentor, no egoism or individualism. So in the West, right, they're always telling people that, oh, you don't need anybody, you must be individualistic. That's not who we are, you know. We need a village. You know, it takes it takes a village to not only help ourselves, but help each other. So we gotta come back to that. That's why, you know, not to get into politics, that's why the concept of democratic socialism is making a comeback, right? You know, we all gotta help each other out, you know, that's what we're here for.

SPEAKER_03 45:34

Mm-hmm. Now you're you're right about that. It's important because even like, you know, uh again, the respect of the craft of my profane, and even those who in the in the Hiram legend that assassinated him, they wanted the information so bad, but but that they didn't want the tootelet. So that's why that story was teaching you is that you must humble yourself, you must let go of the world, you must eradicate your ego, because your ego will drive you to do the most heinous acts, to commit the most heinous acts, basically. And that's what happens in the higher legend.

SPEAKER_00 46:10

That's right, that's absolutely right, brother. And I think if our brothers and sisters come to that realization, that is a big, big step of healing our hearts. So, you know, thank you for that, Mike. Yeah, you know, as we continue, we talk about the Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, the widow's son.

The Widow’s Son And Freedom Of Religion

SPEAKER_00 46:29

Prophet Muhammad lost his father at a young age and was raised by his mother, a widow, till the age of six. He was a widow's son. He married Khija, his first wife, and sponsor. Like, you know, she, you know, looked looked out for him, she was rich. She was a widow herself, and she married him at the age of 25. She herself was 40. So Prophet said, I have come to perfect the Adab character of mankind. He was there, the widow's son that came to perfect everyone's character. It all it all sounds familiar. He established religious and racial freedom with his decrees, dealing with Hazrat Bilal, who was an African slave. He was able to get him freedom. And Hazra Bilal was the first who stood on top of the Kaaba and did the Adan, the call to prayer. Now, the covenant with the monks of St. Catherine Monastery, he made that. And the Constitution of Medina, which gave rights to Jews and Christians who were being persecuted by the pagan Arab tribes. Thomas Jefferson's Quran and the Constitution and what they have here, right? Freedom of religion, that comes from Prophet Muhammad, right? Freedom of religion and how even the Prophet Muhammad is honored with a statue outside of the U.S. Supreme Court. He instructed mankind to become one Ummah, despite race or religion, right? Be on the level, community and beyond the level. And it says that in Holy Quran, Surah 2, verse 62, that Allah doesn't care what religion you're following. He only cares if you're an upright, righteous individual. So it's not about, you know, you going to the church or going to the masjid or uh all of that. If you're not of a if you're not of a good moral character, then when the time comes, that's not gonna matter. So you gotta be of an honorable character. And the prophet instructed us to take care of widows and orphans, right? The Bukhari and Muslim hadiths. And you know what do the Masons uh really stress, you know, the worshipful master. Oh, we got to look after our widows and orphans. It's it's the same thing, charity, the charity. Now we look at the all-seeing eye, right? The 99 names of Allah, how we're all looking for the lost name of God. The hundredth name is missing, and one of the names is Al-Basir, right? He is fully aware of everything you do. So if you know that God is always watching me, even in seclusion, then you would not commit any sins, you would not do anything dirty, you would not have any bad thoughts. Because that's what the Sufi and Masonic Path is purify your life, your character, your thoughts, live a good, clean, healthy life, be charitable, be there for self and others. Because this is a test. You know, we're being tested. It's like a truth it's like a Truman show. We're being watched from cradle to grave. And at the end, depending on it's like how the video games have it, right? You have a dishonorable ending or you have an honorable ending, depending on what you did throughout the game. This is exactly what it is, what we're dealing with.

SPEAKER_03 49:42

I like that the all seeing eyes constantly watching you.

SPEAKER_04 49:45

Yes.

SPEAKER_03 49:45

And the fact that you mentioned um purification is always done, is always that redeeming yourself. Uh, for those who know a particular song you'll read in the Bible for purification. You get what I'm saying?

SPEAKER_00 49:58

That's right. Yeah, that's right, brother. One thing I like about the book of Psalms is be still and know I am God. And how even Rumi tells you, the Sufi master Rumi, that to you just sit, be silent, listen to that voice that does not speak. You know, we're looking for Allah everywhere else except our own hearts. You know, shout out to the Moors noble Juali said, Allah is in our heart, Father Allah of the five percent Allah is within you. So it's all teaching you to you know look within and follow the teachings of your heart. That's it. So as we continue, my brother, we look at the Ikwan al-Safa, the Brethren of Purity.

Brethren Of Purity And Eastern Lineages

SPEAKER_00 50:39

Even Mackie's encyclopedia, right? Albert G. Mackie, the Masonic scholar, his encyclopedia, the second volume, page 601, refers to the Ikwan al-Safah as the pre-1717 Freemasons of Basra, Iraq, in the 9th century. You look at the above image of the Ikwan al-Safa, right? It resembles the three lights, the sun, the moon, and the worshipful master. Their ranks were uh associated by age. So the first was the craftsmen, you know, 15 years old minimum. The second were the leaders, they were 30 years old. The kings were 40 years old, and the prophets and philosophers were 50 years old. So it was like an age and experience-based rank structure. They taught the esoteric occult knowledge with their 52 epistles. They influenced Christian Rosencruz and the Templars in pre-1717. Even Christian Rosencruz, right? See, it's the same story. Even the Rosencrucianism, he went to North Africa and the Middle East, and um, he was initiated by the Ikwan al-Safa. The symbol of the Rose comes from the Qaduria Sufi order. Sheikh Abdul Qadr Jalani, the Sufi master, was known as the Rose of Baghdad. The rose basically symbolizes the mystical union with God. So you're seeing this, whether it's the Knights Templars, Masons, Oto, Talema, Rose of Krucianism, there is a connection to the East, which they are not acknowledging. And this is what I've done with my videos, lectures, books, and presentations.

SPEAKER_03 52:16

Turn to the east for so you find that light. You know what's so dope about that? Even in um, I don't want to take up the time, but as far as like Archangel, the alignment of archangels, yes, um, they look to the east, uh, Raphael for the healing, the name, and everything. It's always to the east because that's where the sun rises, and everyone went to the east, and it's so crazy how now they try to demonize the east. After they pulled all those resources and everything else, they still trying to find ways to demonize.

SPEAKER_00 52:48

Yeah, the the colonizers.

SPEAKER_03 52:50

Yeah, that's how they roll, bro. They go in there, they take what they want. All right, you know what? You're evil.

SPEAKER_00 52:55

That's right. That's right. So now we continue with Elias Ashmole's Arabic sources. Now let us look at the period, right? The early period, right before 1717. One of the very first recorded speculative Freemasons in England was Elias Ashmole, initiated in 1646. Ashmole was deeply embedded in alchemy, astrology, and Rosicrucianism. The foundation of his alchemical and esoteric studies relied heavily on the Latin translations of Arabic alchemists like Jabir ibn Hayan and Al-Razi. Now, the fascination with the East, right? The Proto-Masons of the 17th century, like Ashmol, were absolutely fascinated by the East. They studied Arabic, collected Islamic manuscripts, and looked to the Orient as the cradle of wisdom. The rituals they designed were heavily laden with the same geometric, architectural, and Solomonic symbolism that had been the hallmarks of Islamic mystical traditions for centuries. Now we look at Sir Ren, the Saracen style, right? So they're always talking about oh, the Masons were the stone builders and the gills of Europe. There's even a scholarly lecture out there by Dr. Roy, who talks about how Islam influenced the architecture in Europe. You know, please check that out as well. So we look at the architecture admission. You know, Sir Christopher Wren, um, the legendary architect of St. Paul's Cathedral and a figure widely associated with early speculative Freemasonry. Wren himself famously acknowledged the debt European architecture owed to the Islamic world. He frequently referred to the Gothic architecture not as a European invention, but as the quote-unquote Saracen style. And we see here, right, the collapse of Eurocentricism. Wren explicitly stated that the engineering and geometric techniques used by European stonemasons were brought back from the Middle East during the Crusades. If the very builders of the cathedrals admitted their geometric knowledge came from the Saracens, the Eurocentric claim to the exclusive origin of Masonic symbolism collapses. Now we look at the Ottoman influence on the Renaissance, black nobility, Otello's children, right? Even Shakespeare wrote about Otello's Moorish children in Venice. Now we look at the Venetian pathways, you know, as we move closer to the 17th century, the Ottoman Empire was an intellectual and military superpower. The Republic of Venice, the gateway to Europe, was completely intertwined with Ottoman trade. Venetian merchants, diplomats, and scholars regularly traveled to Istanbul and the Levant, bringing back not just spices and silks, but ideas, hermetic text, and esoteric knowledge. The Prisca Theologia. Now the European Renaissance thinkers like Ficino and Pico della Mirandola were desperately searching for the Prisca Theologia, the ancient universal theology. They found vast amounts of this ancient wisdom preserved in Arabic and Hebrew manuscripts, sheltered within the Ottoman Empire, shaping the magical and symbolic use of the Seal of Solomon. So basically, that that came from there. So the Moors were in um Venice as well. What we see, you know, Doge, the doges that were there, and the bloodlines that were in effect. Those people are still around, you know. Officially, you might see a president on TV or you might see a prime minister, but it's totally something else behind the scenes that runs everything.

SPEAKER_03 56:52

Um you mentioned Solomon, right? Even like that's itself is a lot of signs behind that. The pent alpha, this the symbol of Solomon. Like it's it's two pyramids, basically, one pointing up, one pointing down, and each of the six points is the angle itself.

SPEAKER_00 57:10

That's right. That's right, my brother. As we continue, we look at the akis of Anatolia. This was a structured fraternal order. Now, by the 13th century, the Fatua evolved into the Ahlik or Akis, right? The brother organization in Anatolia, Turkey. These fraternal guilds of craftsmen held meetings and lodges called the Zawiyas. The leader, the Akibaba, guided the brethren in both professional and spiritual conduct, the worshipful master, functioning exactly like a worshipful master in speculative masonry. The degrees in initiation, the Akis utilized a structured system of initiation, moving from apprentice to journeyman, which is fellow craft and master. Now the ceremonies involved the binding of a symbolic belt or apron. The moral teachings were heavily geometric. A master was expected to be straight as a ruler, his morals forming a perfect square. The Akis of Anatolia. We see the Fatua brotherhoods, right? The chivalric codes. Developing in the 8th and 9th centuries, the Fatua began as a chivalric code of spiritual youth, heavily associated with the exemplary moral character of Imam Ali. These spiritual orders merged with the practical craft guilds of the Islamic world, creating a powerful fusion of duty, integrity, and operation trademastery. The Brotherhood and Secrecy, stonemasons, weavers, and metal workers organized into brotherhoods that required strict vows of secrecy, mutual aid, and moral uprightness from their members. These guilds utilized the tools of their trade as allegories for building a better soul, long before the term speculative masonry was coined in the West. Even Sir Christopher Wren, right, of St. Paul's Cathedral, he called it the Saracen style, which immigrated to Europe. This is the one about the Sealo Solomon, brother, the flag of Heredin Barbarossa. Now, let us ground our discussion by looking at a profound historical artifact.

Islamic Guilds And A Lodge In Al-Aqsa

SPEAKER_00 59:25

What you are looking at here is the personal standard or the flag of the legendary Ottoman admiral Heredin Barbarossa, who dominated the Mediterranean in the 16th century. This flag is a masterclass in Islamic esoteric symbolism. At the top, we see the Quranic inscription of victory, surrounded by the four crescents bearing the names of the Rashidun Caliphs, Abu Bakr, Umar, Uthman, and Ali at the bottom center. We prominently see the seal of Solomon, or in Arabic, they call this the Khatam Suleyman, centuries before it was adopted by modern Western esoteric orders. And you look at the you look at the way the sword of Imam Ali, the Zul Fakar, right, the double-edged sword, it looks like sonic square encompass.

SPEAKER_03 1:00:15

It does. And it's like the four, the position of the four. It uh reminds me of like the four evangelists.

SPEAKER_00 1:00:23

That's right. The four evangelists, the four corners of the lodge, uh, the four cardinal virtues. And most people do not know. See, they they remove this stuff. Like I capture it and I hold on to this stuff before they wipe it from the internet. So now you got the London evening news from September 3rd, 1918. This is a news clipping and how a Masonic meeting happened in the Al-Aqsa Mosque, right? The holiest site. And they see they're calling it Palestine. There was no Israel then, they were calling it Palestine.

SPEAKER_03 1:00:58

Yep.

SPEAKER_00 1:00:59

So Freemasons in Palestine have held a Masonic meeting on a historic site of King Solomon's temple, where Freemasonry is supposed to have originated about 1000 BC. This meeting was organized by members of the New Zealand Expeditionary Force in Palestine, the mosque of Umar being on the side of the temple, the New Zealanders approached the great sheikh in charge of the mosque for permission. Then occurred an incident showing the universality of the order. The sheikh listened to what the strangers had to say, and then to their amazement he asked if there were any Masons among them. The rest was easy. He declared himself a Mason, and at the meeting he acted as one of the guards of the lodge. The place within the mosque where the meeting was held is known as the Cave of the Rock of the Dome, and is believed to have been the Holy of Holies of the Old Temple, as it is today the Mosque of Umar. Now the soldiers of all ranks were present, and after a lodge had been duly constituted and opened, resolutions were passed conveying fraternal greetings and good wishes to the various grand lodges, to the lodges in New Zealand, and the brethren on service in France. So the holiest site in Islam after the Kaaba is this right here. And there was a Masonic meeting that has taken place inside here. So now we talk about a Salik, you know, the traveling man, most deaf song. I'm a traveling man. A Salik is a follower of Sufism, you know, a Salik from the well from the verb salaka, which means to travel or follow, related to Saluk, which means pathway. Saluk here specifically refers to a spiritual path, i.e. the combination of the two paths that can be followed in religion, the exoteric path or sharia, and the esoteric path or the hakika, you know, to find God. In Freemasonry, one who is a traveling man represents a worthy brother on his journey towards the east, from darkness to true Masonic light. Masons refer to each other as traveling men, while in Sufism, those that are a traveling man are referred to as Soliks. Now, the Solik term of traveling man predates Masonic traveling man usage. And look at it this way, right? When you're in a lodge, brother, everyone respects each other. The innocence of the lambskin of a master mason's apron, you know, the white pure apron, equally divested and on the level. And you know, your Hiram basically, you're basically a representation of Hiram Abiff. If you look at the uh the anagram of Hiram, you know, it's Ehram. You just switch the I and the H, and you get the Ehram, the name of the cloth that you put on when you go to Mecca. And in Mecca, it doesn't matter what your race or background is, you're all equal and on the level. You know, this is what basically changed Malcolm X when he went there. You know, that the rites of initiation.

SPEAKER_03 1:04:15

Yep. It changes it changes whole power. Yeah, the whole paradigm shift.

SPEAKER_00 1:04:19

That's right. That's absolutely right. Now we move on to the cable toe in unity and charity, helping each other if within capability to do so, which is in the Holy Quran, Surah 3, verse 103. And it says, Hold fast together to the cable of Allah, God, and be not divided. How they even tie the cable toe around you when they're initiating you, right? And they tell you, you know, do not fear any danger, trust God. So it's all the same right here. So you remember the blessings that Allah bestowed upon you. You were once enemies, then he brought your hearts together, so that through his blessings you became brothers. So this is basic, basically telling you that masonry unites men of every country and of every religion and conciliates true friendship among those who might have otherwise have remained at a perpetual distance.

SPEAKER_03 1:05:13

And that's why many love it, because it's a beautiful thing when it's really practice.

SPEAKER_00 1:05:17

Yes.

SPEAKER_03 1:05:19

Just like our Islam is.

SPEAKER_00 1:05:22

It is, brother. You know, we we're all supposed to love each other and respect each other. And uh, me personally, you know, I'm I'm still doing my thing. The first place you're made a mason is in your heart. So no one can take that away from me, no one can take the degrees away from me. I just don't believe in the whole Grand Lodge, lodge system. I believe in the pre seventeen seventeen Arabian ancient Freemasonry of the tribes of North Africa, where they deputized each other to go and spread the light. And it and they trace their lineage back to Prophet Suleiman, King Solomon, peace be upon him.

SPEAKER_01 1:05:58

Yeah. So now

SPEAKER_00 1:06:00

Now we look at the sons of the old woman, the Kaaba gatekeepers.

Prayer Rug Symbolism And The Magic Carpet

SPEAKER_00 1:06:04

The Bani Sheba tribe, the Bani Sheba Quraish, the sons of Sheba, are an Arab tribe that hold the keys to the Kaaba. The priests of the sacred shrine are still known as the Beni Sheba or the Sons of the Old Woman, widow sons, right? They are the Tyler guardians of the Kaaba. So even the Kaaba, right? You know, the perfect Ashler stone temple of God with the pillars and the altar inside, the perfect square, they have tilers, right? Known as the sons of the old woman, widow sons. And if you look at them, you know, they're they're like uh the dark-skinned Arabs. That's who they are. And even if you look at the royal executioner of Saudi Arabia, he's also a dark-skinned Arab. So those Moorish connections are still there, you know, for those that can put two and two together. And the Queen of Sheba, right? The Queen of Sheba was African. Now we look at the Islamic prayer rug in the shape of the oblong square. Take off your shoes, for you are walking on holy ground. You're supposed to take off your shoes when you go into the masjid. You know, you respect the holy ground. When you pray on the rug, take off your shoes. And look at the shape, the oblong square, you got the the pillars, the archway, you got the Kaaba. And what this represents in the Western system, through the cartoons and movies, they talk about the magic carpet. So the magic carpet is basically you praying on time, making salat. And when you do that, you elevate yourself to higher dimensions. Because look at how you pray, right? And you do this, then you go down, you bend. If you look at somatic healing therapy, you look at yoga of the ancient Indians, that releases a lot of your stress. It helps you connect with yourself, with the divine. When you do that here, you're connecting with higher dimensions. You're flying on the magic carpet. Exactly. The best thing you could do as a Sufi, as a Muslim, make your salat on time. There are certain Sufi orders in Pakistan, they won't even initiate you if you're not praying five times a day. So, first they tell you that if you strengthen your prayer, you don't need to do any fancy initiations, any zikrers, um, anything that you know um is out of the ordinary. Just make your five prayers on time, and that will elevate you so much spiritually, and so much enlightenment will come to you through the divine channeling.

That's a fact, and also it connect it keeps you connected to the egregor, those who want to know what egregar is collective energy. You stay connected to it at all times.

SPEAKER_00 1:08:49

Yes, my brother. Yeah, definitely.

SPEAKER_03 1:08:52

Man, yo, I know you still got some more to go, so I'll give you five minutes to rock out. Yes, brother.

SPEAKER_00 1:08:58

So now we look at Saladin and Richard the Lionheart. Anytime Saladin and Richard met each other, they greeted each other with the lion's grip, right? Richard the Lionheart. Now, the 25th degree, the night of the brazen serpent, and the 29th degree, the Scottish, you know, Knights of St. Andrews, it resembles how these Muslims and Christians came together and exchanged brotherhood and knowledge as preserved in the Scottish right degrees. So, and Saladin and Richard always looked out for each other. Now we look at you know the shriners, the grotto. You see the Islamic symbolism, right? In the shriners, the grotto. Even if you look at the kingdom of Hawaii, you look at the banner on the top left-hand side, you see two dark-skinned Moors wearing the fezers in the red clothes. You see King Kami Hamiha, the last king of Hawaii, who was an Islamic shriner. On the bottom, you see the statue of Prophet Muhammad outside of the Supreme Court. How Thomas Jefferson took, he was a Thomas Jefferson was a Masonic founding father, and how he took freedom of religion from the Quran and from the Prophet Muhammad. You have the letter of George Washington to the Sultan of Morocco. Like these people were connected with each other. You look at the flag of South Carolina, it's got the crescent on there. It was connected to the Turkish people, the Ottomans at that time. You look at Hawaii, they have Islam Day, the only state in the Americas that celebrates Islam as a state national holiday. Islam Day is the kingdom of Hawaii because there were Moors, you know, before the U.S. took them over. On the top, you have uh Jamal El-Afghani, the Sufi master. He taught Madame Blavatsky, she referred to him as Serapis Bey, the hidden masters of the East, Noble Juali, Egypt. You just put two and put two and two together, and you know, it's all connected with each other. We look at Sahib Bukhari, right? The Hadith, volume one, book three, number one hundred and twenty. And Abu Hurrera, he narrates, I have memorized two kinds of knowledge from Allah's Messenger, Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him. I have propagated one of them to you, and if I propagate the second, then my throat will be cut off. So you look at the um the penalty of the inter-apprentice obligation, it comes from Islam.

Oh

Final Takeaways And Closing Thanks

SPEAKER_03 1:11:29

brother.

The final revelation, you know, the profound connection between Freemasonry and Islam is deeply rooted in history. The Templars acted as pivotal bridges, absorbing advanced Islamic knowledge and transmitting it into the Scottish lodges. This revelation reshapes conventional narratives, proving Freemasonry to be a universal tradition rooted in shared Abrahamic and esoteric heritage. Now, I've given you an academic and spiritual with proof of everything that I've said on how Freemasonry's ties to Islam are foundational. You got the Western Masons who are always giving credit to the Greeks and Romans and blah, blah, blah, you know, stuff that makes them look good and feel good. But there, I have shown you with proof and evidence in my books, lectures, presentations on Masonry, Templars, OTO, Telema, Rosicrucianism. There is a debt to the East that they owe. And it's our job to reclaim our intellectual heritage. Even you know, Greek philosophy, it's stolen comedic Egyptian philosophy. Professor George G. M. James, check out his book.

SPEAKER_03 1:12:38

So stolen legacy.

SPEAKER_00 1:12:40

It all comes back to us, no matter what you know, they try to use against us.
