Titles of the Nobility

Zodiac Constitution Article 2 – Since the 12 Jurymen of the 50 Union States
magna Charta document of White Supremacy and the nine judges of their
Supreme Court were founded upon our Moorish Zodiac 12 Signs,
Mathematical Constitution, the lawmakers have no jurisdiction over the
Free Moors, the Beys and Els, in the inherited land of the Moorish nation:
U.S.A., Canada, Central and South America. The Moorish American
Nationality and their sir names, Bey and El, are their inherited birthrights
with-out a legal due process of the lawmakers of the union Society, U.S.A.
What our Moorish (foremothers) forefathers were, we are today without a
doubt or contradiction, namely, Moorish!

The meaning of the -Bey or -El added at the end of people's last name signifies that they
are returning to the knowledge of being a Moor. Bey and El are family names of people
that belong to the nation of Moors and the ancient name of Moabites. The name Bey and
El, was used as a title as well but ultimately it is a family name like Soprano is for
Italians, Don for Latin, or Lee is for the Chinese.

The reason Bey or El has been removed from so called black people in North America is
due to the fact that people who have Melanin, were human trafficked and held captive as
prisoners on plantations in the US. During this period, they were stripped of their
landnationality and divine creed, or anything linking them to their Title, heritage,
Language, Ethinic Family and names. These prisoners were considered as property and
were assigned the last names of their masters. This is how you can have someone like
Shaquille O'Neal, Michael Jordan, Oprah Winfrey, ect., who have a last name known to
be Irish, or English, when they are not. This is genocide of our people and society. We
were evacuated from our land, resources, and wealth then trapped to ether work on our
own occupied lands or die.

So now when you see -Bey or -El added to the last name it is merely so called black
people returning to the ways of their ancestors true identity of being Moorish and also
returning to their divine creed of Islam. They did not give up the last names that their
ancestors took on, because they carry that to always be linked to their ancestors and as a
reminder of the brutality of their captivity and the stripping their nation of people,
reducing them to sub human status. The annexing of Bey or El brings them back into the
families of nations. These people are usually Islamic. Those people who change their
name when they return to Islam are merely taking on an Arabic name and that is not a
prerequisite to practicing the Islamic Faith.

As for Titles, we must at the primary and foundational level be Els and Beys
BEFORE self-assigning titles that are earned by Degree (meaning last name should
be El or Bey e.g. Qu El or Qu Bey. It is likened to wanting to come in and go
straight to the highest degree without foundational and primary knowledge to
support the climb. The other titles Al, Dey and Ali are reserved for the functioning
of the Nation by degrees that MUST NOT be self-assigned. Many may wish to
ignore these principles; however the universe does not allow circumscribing.
El - the law makers, law givers, likened to Executives.
Bey - law enforcers, O-Bey -- the law. A MUFTI is a Mohammedan Judge
Ali - is a title reserved for those who are, or who have reached a Master degree in their
line of studies, inclusive of published dispensations. Thus is an earned title, reserved for
the workings of the Nation and not to be self assigned. Many get it confused with
their corporate state Masters Degree, however if you read "Religious Controversy', from
the "Moorish Literature' booklet, there is a information regarding those who have
received those degrees and the mental state they are in whether they recognize it or not.
Al - is also reserved for the nation in earning degrees in the sciences: Mathematical,
Geometrical, Psychological, etc.,
Dey - is meant for and reserved for same in degrees of Astrological, Cosmological, other
sciences, etc.

Aboriginal Autochthon Titles

When giving names to their children, the Moors like most Muslims
elsewhere are governed by Islamic norms related to name-giving. Some
names are strongly recommended in Islam while others are absolutely
prohibited. Names suggestive of beauty are strongly recommended. The
names of the Prophet’s grandsons Hasan and Husayn suggest beauty and
the Prophet is said to have changed the name of a woman named Āsiya
‘Disobedient’ and told her that she was Jamīla ‘beautiful’ (Muslim).It is
also prescribed in Islam that children be given surnames or the names of their
fathers following theirs. The Qur’ān states in Sūrah Al-Ahzāb (V.5) that children
should be called by (the names of) their fathers and that is more just in the sight
of God. Further, the Prophet is reported to have said: “On the Day of Resurrection
you will be called by your names and by your fathers names, so give youselves
good names” (Abu Dāwūd). The Qur’ān in Sūrah Al-Hujurāt (V.11) also cautions
the believers not to defame or insult one another by nicknames, but this evidently
refers to nicknames of a derogatory nature, for sobriquets are known to have
been approved and given by the Prophet himself. For instance, take the name of a
prominent companion of the Prophet and a prolific narrator of ahadith, Abu
Hurayrah whose name literally means ‘Father of the kitten’ so called because of a
kitten he was extremely fond of. Similarly, Khālid bin Wālid was called Sayfullāh
‘Sword of God’ for his military prowess and the name of Dhāt-un-Nitāqain ‘She of
the two girdles’ was given to Asma, daughter of Abu Bakr on account of an
incident connected with the flight to Medina when she cut a piece from her waist
belt with which she tied the mouth of a bag of provisions meant for the Prophet
and her father (Bukhāri).Names suggestive of the Divinity or His Attributes
are strictly prohibited and it is clear that God’s names in the definite form
cannot be given to His creation unless preceded by the prefix abd meaning
‘slave (or servant)’ such as is commonly done in the Muslim world, as for
instance, Abdullāh ‘Slave of God’ and Abdur-Rahmān ‘Slave of the
Merciful’. In a hadith recorded by Abu Dāwūd, we find the Prophet telling
a man who had the name Abu Al-Hakam (The father of justice or the
Judge) to change his name to Abu Shurayh after his eldest son since Allah
is the Judge and His the Judgement. Names and Patronymics The
names of Moors today are varied and reflect a number of influences,
largely Arabian and Persian. Although proper names are usually of Arabic
or Persian origin, certain name suffixes especially titular ones may be of
Tamil origin while some hereditary patronymics are of Sinhala origin. As
with most Muslim peoples, the Sri Lankan Moors have preferred names of
Arab origin and this has evidently been the case from very early times. The
tradition of giving Arabic names may well have been inherited from the
Arab forbears of the Moors, though its continuity could have also been
influenced by the sanctity with which Muslims in general hold Arabic as
the language of the Qur’ān and the speech of the Prophet, as well as the
beauty of this wonderfully rich language which has a profundity and
mellifluousness perhaps unrivalled by any other language. Little wonder
then that even non-Arab Muslim peoples such as those of the Balkans,
Turkey, Southern Russia, Central Asia, the Indian subcontinent and the
Malayan Peninsula are known to bear names of Arabic origin. In giving
names to their children, the Moors follow a pattern similar to that
described by A.T. Shamsedeen 1 over a century ago. Shamsedeen says that
boys are generally named after the Prophet, or some of the members of his
family, or his eminent companions, or some of the prophets and patriarchs
of early times, or a name signifying ‘Servant of God’ (Abdullah), ‘Servant
of the Compassionate’ (Abdul Rahiman), ‘Servant of the Powerful’ (Abdul
Kader) & c. or they receive the name of some one of the family. Girls, he
says, are mostly named after the wives or daughter of the Prophet, or after
others of his family as Khadaja, Ayisha, Aminah, Fatima & c.Male
names he name of the Prophet of Islam, Muhammad (lit.highly praised) is
by far the most popular name among the Moors as among most other
Muslim peoples. More often than not it precedes the proper names of Moor
males, usually in the form Mohamad. In the olden days, the name was
pronounced variously as Mahamado, Mohamadu, Mohammadu etc., as
seen in the Names of Ceylon Moors, Malays and other Muslims’ extracted
from the Ceylon Directory and Handbook 1876 and published by the
Moors Islamic Cultural Home in 1979 2.1 Ceremonies relating to childbirth
observed by the Moors of Ceylon. The Orientalist. Vol.III 18882 Such forms
are evidently due to Tamil influence, having arisen from the Tamil propensity
for glottal stops. This peculiarity is also evident in other names found in the
same work such as Ahamado (for Ahmad) and Seyado (for Seyyid). One may still
come across names like Ahmadu and Mohammadu amongIt is also possible
however that such forms like Mohamad are deliberately given instead of
Muhammad to avoid infringing, so to say, on the sanctity of the Prophet’s
name. This has also been the case among other Muslim peoples, among
whom, the name of Muhammad when given to children is said to be often
vocalized differently such as Mehmed in Turkey and Mūh in North Africa,
in order, it is said, not to spoil the baraka or blessedness of the name of the
Prophet 3.Such a view however has no support in Islam for the Prophet
himself is said to have expressly permitted using his name when naming
children (Muslim)and the name in its pure form is often found among Arab
peoples. “If you have a hundred sons, call them all Muhammad” is said to
be a saying of the pious 4.Another name by which the Prophet is known in
the Qur’ān Ahmad (Literallymeaning ‘one who praises (God) more than
others’) is also known as also Qāsim (Lit.Distributor) yet another name
claimed by the Prophet on account of his distribution (of the spoils of war)
and the dues of Zakāt among the believers and Amīn (Trustworthy) by
which the Prophet was known in his youth. Many Moor names we find are
religious in character, be it the name of a prophet (Ismā‘īl or Ishmael,
Yūsuf or Joseph and Yūnus or Jonah), or a companion of the Prophet
Muhammad (Umar, the Prophet’s father-in-law and a well-known caliph,
Khālid, a prominent companion known for his military exploits and Bilāl, a
freed black slave who served as Islam’s first Muadhdhin) or his kith and
kin (Hamza, the Prophet’s uncle, Ja‘far, the Prophet’s cousin and Hasan
and Husayn, the Prophet’s grandsons). One may also come across names
like Muzammil ‘enwrapped’ the Prophet being referred to as such by the
Qur’ānic sūrah of the same name, believed to be on account of his being
wrapped up in a blanket in the night it was revealed and Fārūq ‘He who
distinguishes (truth from falsehood)’, a name bestowed on the second
caliph Umar. Hanīfa, a very common name among the Moors has little
 doubt originated from the name of that renowned Muslim Jurist Abu
Hanīfah, while Shāfi no doubt has its origins in the name of another
famous Jurist Ash-Shāfi. One also comes across names like Mansūr (the
name of an eighth century Abbasid Caliph), Nassar (Egyptian President
Gamal Abdel Nassar), Arafat (Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat) and Iqbāl
(Famous Urdu poet of Muslim India). the Moors of the Eastern districts
like Amparai. 3 See Enc.I.Vol.VII.1991 4 Hayawān, JāhizAmong the
other names of Arabic origin in common use among the Moorsmay be
included Aslam, Ashraf, Anwar, Irfān, Uwais, Imtiyāz, Fauz, Farīd,Hamīd,
Hilmi, Husni, Jamīl, Jifri, Najīb, Salīm and Zuhayr. The meanings of these
names are varied. For instance Aslam ‘safer’, Anwar ‘brighter’,
Ashraf‘nobler’, Insāf ‘justice’, Fauz ‘victory’, Farīd ‘jewel’, Fāhim
‘understanding’,Farhān ‘glad’, Faysal ‘judge’, Hakīm ‘wise’, Hasan
‘beautiful’, Husayn, adiminutive form of Hasan and meaning ‘little
beauty’, Hisham ‘generosity’,Hilmi ‘calm’, Kamal ‘perfection’, Kāmil
‘perfect’, Karīm ‘generous’, Jamīl‘handsome’, Latīf ‘kind’, Mubārak
‘blessed’, Najīb ‘noble’, Nawfal ‘bounty’,Junayd ‘small army’, Rashīd
‘well guided’, Salīm ‘safe’, Sābir ‘patient’, Suhayl‘gentle’, Shamīl ‘virtue’,
Wasīm ‘handsome’, Zuhayr ‘bright’and Zawāhir‘ornament’. We also come
across names of Arabic origin clothed in Hidustani garb such as Afzal and
Zafar which have their origins in the Arabic afḍal ‘better’ ‘moreexcellent’
and ẓafar ‘victory’. Urdu turns the Arabic ḍ and ẓ to z so that the origins of
such names are easily explicable. To this category also belong nameslike
Rizwān (Ar.riḍwān ‘favour’) and Nizām (Ar.niẓām ‘order’). The
sameholds true of another fairly common name Zulfiqār which has its
origins in the Arabic Dhūl’fiqār (Lit. The master of the vertebrae of the
back’) the name of the celebrated sword of the Prophet’s cousin and son-
in-law Ali. The peculiar name Sikkandar still borne by some elderly folk is
also of Hindustani origin, having arisen from the Urdu (and Persian)
Sikkandar, which in turn is very likely a corruption of Al-Iskandar, the
popular Arabic name for Alexander of Macedon.The younger generation
of Moors are also not unlikely to bear names of Persian origin such as
those borne by their Indian co-religionists. These includeAzād, Dilshād,
Shahzād, Naushād, Firōz, Nawāz and Shirāz. The meanings of these names
like the Arabic names are varied. For instance, Āzād ‘free’,
Firōz‘victorious’, Shahzād ‘prince’, Niyāz ‘respects’, ‘offerings’,
 Nawāz‘cherishing’ and Shirāz ‘a celebrated Persian city’. One may also
come across names ending with Khān (a Persian term of Turkish origin
meaning ‘Lord’ or‘Prince’ and much in use among the Muslims of India)
such as Amīr Khān,Ashraf Khān and Zafarullāh Khān. It is nevertheless
the Arabic element that still predominates by far. We also come across
names borne by olden day folk which appear to have been corrupted from
the Arabic, largely, if not solely, due to the influence of Tamil. For
instance, it is said that the Moors of the Eastern Province bore the name
Asan instead of the proper Arabic Hasan, a fact also said to be reflected in
a well known kuḍi name Asanpullai believed to have originated from
thename of a clan leader named Asan. Similarly, the rare name Sarīp is
evidently a corruption of the Arabic Sharīf ‘noble’ while Usup and Isubu
appear to be corruptions of the Arabic Yūsuf ‘Joseph’. Uduma still borne
by some elderly folk in forms like Udumalebbe likewise appears to be a
corruption of the Arabic Uthman, the name of the third caliph of Islam.
Mīrā, also borne by some men in forms like Mīrālebbe similarly appears
tohave its origins in the Arabic mīr ‘commander’ ‘governor’, a synonym of
the more common amīr. Sēgu, another common name still borne by some
elderly folk of the Eastern districts is very probably a corruption of the
Arabic shaykh‘old man’ ‘chief’ ‘scholar’ through an intermediate form
such as * śēku.Similarly, the name Saybo is probably a corruption of
sahibu as there are still those who bear the patronymic suffix Mīra Sahibu.
The term appears to have derived from the Arabic sahib ‘friend’
‘companion’ or Hindustani sahib meaning ‘master’ or ‘important person’
and used as a title of courtesy equivalent to Mr or Sir. To this day we not
uncommonly come across names such as Aliyār, Asanār and Usanār in the
Eastern districts such as Amparai where the Tamil honorific termination –
ār has been suffixed to the Arabic Ali,Asan (Hasan) and Usan (Husayn).One
also finds considerable Tamil phonetic influence in names like
ParidoeLebbe, Sariboe Lebbe and Magedoe Lebbe Amadoe Lebbe
occurring in theDutch registers known as the Tombos 5 where Paridoe has
arisen from Farīd, Sariebo from Sharīf and Amadoe from Ahmad. We also
find MugamadoeKassim Agamado Lebbe and Awoewekkar Lebbe
occurring in some early nineteenth century Moor names recorded by
Sameer (1982). Mugammadoe I sevidently Muhammad, Agamado Ahmad
and Awoewekkar Abu Bakr 6. There can be little doubt that the influence
 of Tamil on Moorish names was far more pronounced formerly than it is
today. For instance, names like Arisy Marikar,Sinne Lebbe Marikar and
Kaderpulle Meydin Bawa occurring in the CeylonDirectory 1876 Ed. A.M
