How the Moorish Science Temple Functions- Cozmo El

Send us Fan Mail

The mysterious traditions of the Moorish Science Temple often appear impenetrable to outsiders, but National Grand Sheik Cozmo El offers rare clarity in this illuminating conversation. With decades of experience, he expertly navigates the complex organizational structure that binds together various Moorish temples while allowing each to maintain their distinct customs.

At the heart of the discussion lies the United Moorish Science Temple of America's non-sectarian approach—a deliberate strategy to overcome the divisions that have historically plagued Moorish communities. Rather than enforcing rigid uniformity, this body embraces unity through shared principles while respecting each temple's right to establish specific practices. "We walk a middle path," explains Cozmo El, "standing firm where needed but never being petty about differences that shouldn't divide us."

The conversation reveals fascinating details about Moorish symbolism, particularly regarding their distinctive headwear. The fez, with its various colors—red for righteousness, black for justice, green for growth, and purple for magistrate status—carries profound meaning. Even its tassel represents both the "umbilical cord to the universe" and the sun's rays with 144 strands symbolizing united Asiatics. For those seeking deeper understanding, Cozmo El has authored "Secrets of the Fez," exploring these ancient traditions.

Perhaps most valuable is the practical information about Moorish temple operations. Annual conventions serve as legislative sessions where policies are established for the coming year. New temples begin as study groups with at least seven dedicated members before earning official recognition. The Mufti training program develops security specialists through disciplined protocols that protect the community while fostering personal growth.

Throughout the discussion, Cozmo El emphasizes pragmatic nation-building over theological differences. The United Moorish Science Temple focuses on land acquisition, education initiatives, elder care, and community service—tangible expressions of sovereignty that transcend philosophical debates. This balanced approach demonstrates how ancient traditions can remain relevant by addressing contemporary community nee
