5. Shahida Faith-created 1200 A.D. Four Faces of the Mountain
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

6. Branches Of Shahida Tenets 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.
