The Book of God: Book 2: The Sacred Science of the Black God (Allah)

The Book of God, Volume 2: The Sacred Science of The Black God (Allah) is an expansive reconstruction of what Dr. Wesley Muhammad identifies as one of humanity’s oldest religious traditions: the Sacred Science of the Black God. Moving from Paleolithic and Neolithic symbolism through ancient Mesopotamia, Egypt, India, Africa, and the biblical world, the book argues that beneath the apparent diversity of ancient religions lies a common sacred language centered on the divine Black Man. Central to the investigation is Black Arabia or Afrabia as a formative crossroads from which populations and their religious culture dispersed toward Mesopotamia, Kemet, and India, developing distinct “cultural dialects” of an older sacred inheritance: a primordial theology concerning the body, nature, history, and destiny of God.

The Sacred Science of the Black God is the body of ancient knowledge that explains how the transcendent divine becomes materially embodied as the Black Man-God. Here, “science” should not be understood in the narrow modern sense of laboratory experimentation. Rather, sacred science refers to a traditional system of knowledge in which myth, sacred geometry, temple symbolism, ritual, cosmology, bodily symbolism, and religious doctrine together encode truths about the structure of reality and the nature of God.
 
Within this system, such ancient symbols as the black bull, primordial waters, the Mother Goddess, solar fire, divine kingship, and geometrical forms are not isolated religious images but elements of a coherent symbolic language, all expressing different dimensions of a single science of divine reality.
 
The bull signifies the material body of the masculine Creator God; the primordial waters, the substance from which that body emerges. The Mother Goddess personifies this primordial substance in feminine form, while solar fire represents the masculine essence of the Creator.
 
Their union—the conjunction of solar fire and primordial waters—symbolizes divine incarnation: the synthesis of masculine and feminine, spirit and matter, in the embodied God.

Across nearly six hundred pages, Dr. Muhammad brings archaeology, anthropology, comparative religion, mythology, linguistics, ancient scripture, iconography, and the teachings of the Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad into a single provocative argument: the Black God is not a racialized revision of someone else’s deity, but the suppressed archetype from which some of the ancient world’s most enduring conceptions of divinity developed.
 
The book follows this Sacred Science through the rise and displacement of civilizations, the transformation of indigenous traditions, and what it presents as the Black God’s successive spiritual, mental, and historical “falls”—culminating in the loss of divine identity and sovereignty and the promise of resurrection or awakening.
 
In its final movement, the study confronts colonial Christianity’s assault upon indigenous Black conceptions of God and interprets the recovery of the Black God as simultaneously theological and psychological: the restoration of a people’s knowledge of the divine is inseparable from the restoration of their knowledge of themselves. 
 
The Sacred Science of The Black God is thus not merely a history of religion, but an excavation of a sacred memory—the proposition that to recover the original identity of God is also to recover the original identity of Man.
