once again the concept is being "of God". NOI takes a lot of East Asian spiritual system stuff and hides it through the Quran. One could say the NOI is closer to Asian spiritual systems like Buddism than it is Islam, Islam is merely the "vehicle". Similar to how West Africans practiced Islam but did not have to sacrifice their traditions, or how in the West people can practice Voodoo and such but still be devout Catholics.
"Submission to a higher power" and acknowledging that Higher power as being the Supreme Engineer does not go against the things practiced in Spiritual Systems. Only worshipping one as being the Supreme Creator.
They Consistently say there is only "one Creator", submission to the create makes one in tune with the Creator.
Similar to how "Jesus" is not God in the Literal sense, but was of God and God used him as a vehicle thus he was God as he was an action of God.
Similar to the concept of "you are who your father is", because even though your Mother is the Vehicle of you coming to earth, your father created the seed, and that seed was apart of him thus that seed is him.
(1) This is patriarchal NONSENSE though...
(2) One who knows science can argument that you are MORE your mother than your father...You get 23 chromosomes from you mother and 23 from your father, but if you are male, the Y chromosome has less genes than the X chromosome, plus, you get mitochondrial DNA from your mother...
Conclusion, male get A LOT more genetic information from their mother than their fathers...There are MORE genetic disorders transmitted from mother to son than from father to son...
Woman are protected from certain diseases because they have an extra X chromosome that can balance things out if one is defective...
(3) A lot of BULLSHAT in old patriarchal religion thinking...
(4) One last thing, if all else is normal, a woman knows with 100% confidence that the child is her, a man can NEVER have that same level of confidence even with paternity DNA testing...
You are MORE your mother's child (scientifically speaking)...
