In traditional Islamic teachings, Allah is of course the supreme creator of all things and what westerners would call, God.

However, the early five-percenters referred to Clarence 13x as Allah. It is important to differentiate here that the Nation of Islam teaches that all of the Asiatic race are Gods but there is only one Allah, or supreme leader, which for many years was the man known as Wallace Fard Muhammad and later referred to Elijah Muhammad.

Clarence would famously say during a Nation of Islam meeting, “What Fard had given to Elijah, Elijah has given to me. I am Allah”.

Arm, Leg, Leg, Arm, and Head was the original break down of the work Allah by Clarence, which was meant to represent man himself.

Wallace Fard Muhammad was the founder of the Nation of Islam, an African-American religion and empowerment organization.

EQUALITY is to be equal in all things in existence such as knowledge, wisdom and understanding. When you share your knowledge through wisdom and bring forth and understanding it only shows and proves equality. Knowledge(1) Wisdom(2) and Understanding(3) is all being born to Equality(6)

The Cipher represents a perfect circle of 360 degrees. One’s “Cipher” is the areas in their life that they have control over.

Important acronyms involving this letter include G.O.D.:God Cipher Divine, or “God’s Cipher is Divine.” This means that while you control your own Cypher (sphere of influence), only God has control over everything. This is a reminder that a Five Percenter cannot control everything in their life, and to remain free of ego

The word “Cipher” has taken on a less cerebral meaning as part of Hip-Hop culture-even BET hosts Cyphers now

Word plays are frequently used by Five Percenters. Instead of being “under” something, they would rather use the term “over” stand so as not to introduced negative terms into the conversation or build.

Build — Or sometimes called adding on Basically conversations between NGE members. Expounding on the concepts of math and science or political issues that they feel correspond to some universal truth that exists within their doctrine.

Destroy — Whenever there is the introduction of Destroy it means to ruin by allowing negativity to outweigh the positive. (Actually this term is used quite often when the tenets of their ideaology are challenged with rational, critical thinking. I have been told, “ you are not building, you are arguing/destroying.”)
