Who is the 5%?

The Five Percent Nation is a collective of like-minded individuals from diverse backgrounds, united by a common cause: to empower all human families on planet Earth to build a more righteous civilization based on human dignity and social justice.

We have taken the time to study the Science of Everything in Life (SELF), which is vital for unlocking the divinity and greatness within each individual. We recognize that the youth are our link to the future and will become the adults of today. By using knowledge, wisdom, and understanding as our foundation, we empower the youth by providing them with the information needed to guide them on a path toward obtaining this knowledge of self.

We strive to be a beacon of light in society by leading it in a good, orderly direction, starting with the world's most valuable resource—our youth. The keys we provide to the youth have the power to open all doors they encounter in their life's journey. We recognize that no one is coming to save us but ourselves. Our aim is to achieve national consciousness, community control, and peace.

The Importance of Knowledge of Self

This clip is from a video that was filmed at the Shrine of The Black Madonna in Houston, TX on February 4th, 2023. Where the Gods in H-Medina were given a free walk through of the African Holocaust exhibit by the Owner and Director, Nailah Nelson. She later interviewed a few brothers about who the 5% are. The Gods built on our culture, the meaning of civilization, the importance of teaching and where those who would like to learn can come. This interview of Born Almighty Allah, Sirius Mathematics Allah, Sun Born Allah, Wise Ra Be Allah, and King Allah was later used for the promotion of the Black Holocaust Exhibit.

Frequently Asked Questions

Please reach us at @thefivepercentnation if you cannot find an answer to your question.

Is this a religion?

No, we are not a religion. A religion is a way of life that utilizes belief as its system of operation. A belief system doesn't require that you verify any of the information yourself via the five senses. It operates utilizing such things as faith and hope. Our way of life is Mathematics, which is sometimes referred to as Islam, because of its original meaning: A state of peace. Our way of life is NOT the religion of Islam.

Are you Muslim?

No, we do not consider ourselves Muslim. Although the word Muslim technically denotes "one of peace", the commonly understood meaning of "Muslim" is one who summits to what he believes is a higher power in order to find peace. The Blackman is the Sole Controller and is the author of peace.

Are you a part of the NOI?

We are not members of any organization, nor do we follow any such leadership, nor are we a sect, branch, or offshoot of any organization. However, in terms of the original meaning of the term "Nation of Islam", everything belongs to the Nation of Islam. That is, Islam - in its original sense -- is Mathematics and has no beginning nor ending because it is the fundamental structure of the Universe.

Are you an organization?

We are not an organization in the sense that we are classified within the structure of the United States government. We are a Nation who has within it various different organizations (such as Five Percent Youth Office, H-Medina Youth Office, 1CommonCause Inc., Allah School in Mecca Office of Cultural Management, etc.).

Do you have a headquarters?

Our primary headquarters in terms of perseveration of our history and the continuation of our determined idea to save the babies is at the root of Civilization in Mecca (Harlem, NYC) known as the Allah School In Mecca Street Academy at 2122 Adam Clayton Powell Jr Boulevard.

Do you have leaders?

Each man is his own leader. By critical examination of the history of Black people in the U.S., you can see that anytime a leader galvanizes our people, he is assassinated or rendered ineffective. In fact, this was attempted with us by the assassination of Allah, the Father. Yet, he prepared the Nation to survive after his physical death by removing the "office" of leader, and come together as one. This is exemplified in our governing process which is called a Parliament. Anyone who is able to address the whole body, offering direction and suggestions. From this governing body, we then organize committees to carry out the agreed upon idea. We also have elders within our Nation whom we respect as transmitters of our oral traditions.

Are you a gang?

No. A gang is a group of people organized for criminal activity. There are those who have used our flag to shield their dirty practices by coming in our name and using our language as code. We are civilized people whose duty it is to teach Knowledge and Wisdom to all the human families of the planet Earth. Because we actively engage and educate those who are in the streets, some individuals inevitable have a hard time leaving their "old ways" behind them. However, if we don't teach them, who will?

Is only the Black man God / Is only the Black woman Earth?

Yes. However, by Black, we are referring to all the shades of Original, i.e. Black, Brown, and Yellow.

Do you hate white people?

No. We are not pro-black or anti-white. We are pro-righteousness and anti-devilishment. Many white people come to us to study the truth of themselves and this world. There have been white Five Percenters throughout our history. We do not seek to integrate or separate, but to develop our communities without the interference of outsiders.

Isn't it just as good to be involved with any religion or culture focused on improving our community?

While it is good to be involved with improving the community, and we do work with people and organizations from all walks of life, it is important to consider what it is that our people really need at this point. Offering the people more religion, or a new religion, will not "free" the people. Also, simply making the people more militant or politically-orientated will not "save" the people if they don't have the full knowledge of themselves and the nature of who/what they are up against. Finally, an escape to Africa, or a withdrawal into the seclusion of holiness will not help the larger community. While many other groups paved the way, we teach what is needed now, which is why we came when we did.

How do I become a Five Percenter?

First you must have true dedication to reforming one's self. Then you must find an educator who is qualified to teach (knows 120 degrees by heart, has a good reputation among the 5%, etc.) and travel, if necessary, to start studying in person. This culture has to be learned through direct interaction with credible individuals.
