Maat: Azimio la Kutokuwa na Hatia (Declarations of Innocence)

The divine order of life was gifted to the Afrikan by the Creator Supreme. From the beginning the Afrikan has honoured that tremendous gift with the profound cultivation of life and continual betterment and growth of ascension. Maat has been with the Afrikan since the earliest of times and has been a powerful and fundamental part of spirit life’s fabric. From the ancient times until the present there has been much by way of experience (including the horrors of the Maafa of recent centuries) to inform the articulation of the ethical guidance from this powerful deity for the fullest flourishing of Afrikan life now and in time to come. Maat played a vital foundational role in bringing about the greatest and most long lasting of world civilisation and will surely be vital asset for greatest and eternal civilisations to be evolved and protected by the pinnacle genius of the Afrikan soul. In this, the Afrikan history continuum of the then, now and tomorrow thrives. In celebration of the wonderful observance of Afrikan Historia Msimu, this author posits the following articulation of Maat’s 42 Declarations of Innocence as viewed through the lens of necessary organic shaping and growth from ever unfolding Afrikan experiences. This is in conjunction with the Fadhila Saba za Maat (Seven Virtues of Maat) and is best applied within the context of Ili (Order) - For Afrikan souls throughout the world to assert their natural divine imperative to be organised for global Afrikan ascendancy. Kiswahili numbers are used as identifiers for each declaration:

Some of the declarations are repeated following the repeated emphasis stressed in translations closer to the original form. The double-emphasis highlighted (amongst other things) the importance of a particular declaration.  Of course, these declarations are challenging especially in the context of any hostile alien environment or imposition, but at the very least these can surely provide some ideal for the thrust of striving for betterment in the lives of the magnificent spirit people of the world.
