We post this chess game played by Moors because our methods must be strategically established and implemented. Without a well planned out program than success is guaranteed to fail.
When you research you will find that the Moors played chest for property and not just for sport and play. Therefore, every Moor, especially members should always value every move they make to achieve a goal that will bring a valuable return.
What is the main purpose of this history presented by the Clock of Destiny Moorish College?
Answer: The Main purpose is for the Moors referred to as Black, West Indian, African etc to look at the accomplishments of the Moors of many years ago and pick up the torch and continue to assist in the industrious work of our Moorish Legacy. We need our own doctors. The Caribbean and Indians from India people focus on nursing, Jews on banking and finance, Japanese on technology, Irish and polish on law enforcement and sanitation etc. Moors that were subject to the union and foreign concerns is recommended to redirect their energy on nation building like the nobles of many years ago. Remember, what our forefathers were yesterday we are that today, namely Moorish.
This is one of the Main reasons why the Clock of Destiny College was established so that we will attract right minded people to become industrious.
The Second Reason is for this history is for the people that research and verifies this history to reclaim their Moorish Birthrights whereby the standards of the Moors will be raised to a respectable level of honor as we continue to rise towards success.
Many artist (rappers) disrespect the nation of Moors (blacks and Latino) by constantly using derogatory language towards or women and young boys. Young boys and grown men with no true identity for the past 10 years are still wearing their pants down to their knees showing their privacy on both sides. It has gotten so bad even the women are doing it. It appears that our youth doesn’t have true road models for success and moral reasoning. This gives us more of a reason to represent the Moorish Nation in the proper context due to the salvation of our women and children.
Third Reason: There are many Moorish groups that has already been mixed, diluted and tampered with via misleading doctrine. It will take another 14 years for many of them to discover and put in place what the prophet Noble Drew Ali planned. Therefore we encourage all members of the Moorish College of the Great Seal to apply their lessons and these findings to achieve a universal and unified demonstration on behalf of themselves, family and the Moorish Nation in North America and abroad. Also if you are a member of the Moorish Science Temple of America and they are being industrious (meaning building in their community economically, socially and politically on behalf of fallen humanity please feel free to assist them). Nobility, honor, industry, health and respect for all humanity shall always remain fundamental principles of the Moorish Nation.

BLOOD BANK
The idea of a blood bank was pioneered by Dr. Charles Richard Drew (1904-1950). Dr. Drew was an American medical doctor and surgeon who started the idea of a blood bank and a system for the long term preservation of blood plasma (he found that plasma kept longer than whole blood). His ideas revolutionized the medical profession and saved many, many lives. Dr. Drew set up and operated the blood plasma bank at the Presbyterian Hospital in New York City, NY. Drew's project was the model for the Red Cross' system of blood banks, of which he became the first director.

CRUM, GEORGE
The potato chip was invented in 1853 by George Crum. Crum was a Native American/African American chef at the Moon Lake Lodge resort in Saratoga Springs, New York, USA. French fries were popular at the restaurant and one day a diner complained that the fries were too thick. Although Crum made a thinner batch, the customer was still unsatisfied. Crum finally made fries that were too thin to eat with a fork, hoping to annoy the extremely fussy customer. The customer, surprisingly enough, was happy - and potato chips were invented!

Invented: A form of eye surgery using lasers
Dr. Patricia Bath, an ophthalmologist from New York, but living in Los Angeles when she received her patent, became the first African American woman doctor to receive a patent for a medical invention. Patricia Bath’s patent (no. 4,744,360), a method for removing cataract lenses, transformed eye surgery, using a laser device making the procedure more accurate (Cataract Laserphaco Probe). The probe, patented in 1988, is designed to use the power of a laser to quickly and painlessly vaporize cataracts from patients’ eyes, replacing the more common method of using a grinding, drill-like device to remove the afflictions. With another invention, Bath was able to restore sight to people who had been blind for over 30 years

MOORISH INVENTIONS OF MANY YEARS AGO.
1. Surgery
Around the year 1,000, the celebrated doctor Al Zahrawi published a 1,500 page illustrated encyclopedia of surgery that was used in Europe as a medical reference for the next 500 years. Among his many inventions, Zahrawi discovered the use of dissolving cat gut to stitch wounds -- beforehand a second surgery had to be performed to remove sutures. He also reportedly performed the first caesarean operation and created the first pair of forceps.
2. Coffee
Now the Western world's drink du jour, coffee was first brewed in Yemen around the 9th century. In its earliest days, coffee helped Sufis stay up during late nights of devotion. Later brought to Cairo by a group of students, the coffee buzz soon caught on around the empire. By the 13th century it reached Turkey, but not until the 16th century did the beans start boiling in Europe, brought to Italy by a Venetian trader.
3. Flying machine
"Abbas ibn Firnas was the first person to make a real attempt to construct a flying machine and fly," said Hassani. In the 9th century he designed a winged apparatus, roughly resembling a bird costume. In his most famous trial near Cordoba in Spain, Firnas flew upward for a few moments, before falling to the ground and partially breaking his back. His designs would undoubtedly have been an inspiration for famed Italian artist and inventor Leonardo da Vinci's hundreds of years later, said Hassani.
4. University
In 859 a young princess named Fatima al-Firhi founded the first degree-granting university in Fez, Morocco. Her sister Miriam founded an adjacent mosque and together the complex became the al-Qarawiyyin Mosque and University. Still operating almost 1,200 years later, Hassani says he hopes the center will remind people that learning is at the core of the Islamic tradition and that the story of the al-Firhi sisters will inspire young Muslim women around the world today.
5. Algebra
The word algebra comes from the title of a Persian mathematician's famous 9th century treatise "Kitab al-Jabr Wa l-Mugabala" which translates roughly as "The Book of Reasoning and Balancing." Built on the roots of Greek and Hindu systems, the new algebraic order was a unifying system for rational numbers, irrational numbers and geometrical magnitudes. The same mathematician, Al-Khwarizmi, was also the first to introduce the concept of raising a number to a power.
6. Optics
"Many of the most important advances in the study of optics come from the Muslim world," says Hassani. Around the year 1000 Ibn al-Haitham proved that humans see objects by light reflecting off of them and entering the eye, dismissing Euclid and Ptolemy's theories that light was emitted from the eye itself. This great Muslim physicist also discovered the camera obscura phenomenon, which explains how the eye sees images upright due to the connection between the optic nerve and the brain.
7. Music
Muslim musicians have had a profound impact on Europe, dating back to Charlemagne tried to compete with the music of Baghdad and Cordoba, according to Hassani. Among many instruments that arrived in Europe through the Middle East are the lute and the rahab, an ancestor of the violin. Modern musical scales are also said to derive from the Arabic alphabet.
8. Toothbrush
According to Hassani, the Prophet Mohammed popularized the use of the first toothbrush in around 600. Using a twig from the Meswak tree, he cleaned his teeth and freshened his breath. Substances similar to Meswak are used in modern toothpaste.
9. The Crank
Many of the basics of modern automatics were first put to use in the Muslim world, including the revolutionary crank-connecting rod system. By converting rotary motion to linear motion, the crank enables the lifting of heavy objects with relative ease. This technology, discovered by Al-Jazari in the 12th century, exploded across the globe, leading to everything from the bicycle to the internal combustion engine.
10. Hospitals
"Hospitals as we know them today, with wards and teaching centers, come from 9th century Egypt," explained Hassani. The first such medical center was the Ahmad ibn Tulun Hospital, founded in 872 in Cairo. Tulun hospital provided free care for anyone who needed it -- a policy based on the Muslim tradition of caring for all who are sick. From Cairo, such hospitals spread around the Muslim world.
So the Question to all Moors is this:
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
This brings a closure to the history of Moorish Culture and Science for all to know. We desire strongly for the Moors to find themselves in the affairs of men as taught in our Moorish literature. True history builds self esteem and high noble values. When we live towards lofty goals we can only go up.
