Shahida FaithShahida Faith-created 1200 A.D.

Shahida translates to “Testimony of the Creator”

Originated in Charlesteen (Charleston) Holy Text: El Maktab

Based on revelations of Loki Founder of Shahida: Loki Abba, “Father of all

Mankind” First Shahiditi (high holy official) chosen by ‘the

Creator” Believed to be the last prophet Two children: Muscogee and Escambia

Muscogee Eldest son and successor by tradition Willing to make peace with non-believers Creator of Muscogee Shahida

Escambia Believed brother to be weak and lack true Shahida

zeal Deceptively became the next Shahiditi

Later attempted to murder his brother Creator of Escambian Shahida

Four Faces of the Mountain

There is no Creator but the one true Creator, and Loki is his

prophet

Believe in the Creator’s testimony, as well as the

messengers of that testimony, and show reverence by honoring with prayer his

testimony

It is the duty of every Shahida to pay homage to the Creator

by making a pilgrimage at least once in their life to the holy

land

The Creator is responsible for all things, and all things happen

through his will. Honor the Creator by providing to the

poor and charities, for all things belong to the Creator, with

wealth being held in trust by humans in his service



Branches Of ShahidaTenets of Escambian Shahida

There is only one Creator.

All men are equal before the Creator.

Converting the unbeliever is every Shahid’s life mission.

You must use every opportunity, force and war included, to convert

the unbeliever.

You should not conduct business with unbelievers, except to compel

them to convert to Shahida.

The reward for following the Maktab is eternity in heaven.

Those who reject the creator are doomed to eternal damnation.

Tenets of Muscogee Shahida

There is only one Creator.

All men are equal before the Creator.

Preaching the Faith of Loki to convert the unbeliever is every

Shahid’s life mission.

Force and war are only acceptable in defense of the

Faith.

The reward for following the Maktab is eternity in heaven.

Failure to live up to the Maktab leads to oblivion and

nothingness upon death. There is no hell, since eternal removal from the Creator is the ultimate punishment for a misspent life.
