about

WORD IS BOND
Word is Bond: In the currency of trust, every utterance becomes a solemn oath. It's a commitment engraved in the soul, a promise unspoken yet binding. In a world of fleeting words, this creed stands as a testament to the enduring power of integrity and the unwavering strength of one's spoken truth.""In the tapestry of relationships, 'Word is Bond' weaves the fabric of trust. Like an unbroken thread, our promises define the strength of our character, and in each commitment kept, we honor the sacred currency of integrity."In the Supreme Wisdom of Elijah Muhammad, the concept of "Word is Bond" is a principle emphasizing the sacred value of one's spoken word. It underscores the importance of keeping promises, maintaining honesty, and honoring commitments as an integral part of personal integrity and accountability. This concept encourages individuals to recognize the power and weight of their verbal expressions, highlighting the idea that one's word should be a solemn bond that is upheld with unwavering commitment and sincerity.  So the Honorable Elijah Muhammad taught us that our word is our bond, and bond is life, and we should be willing to give our lives before our word should fail. In African tradition, the concept of "Jegna" refers to a heroic and noble figure, often recognized as a mentor, protector, or defender within the community. A Jegna is someone who embodies qualities of strength, courage, wisdom, and selflessness. This individual is typically esteemed for their contributions to the well-being and development of the community, serving as a role model and source of inspiration for others. The term "Jegna" reflects a cultural archetype of leadership and mentorship, emphasizing the importance of individuals who dedicate themselves to the betterment and protection of their people.

lyrics

WORD IS BOND
"In a world of fleeting promises, a man of his word stands as an unwavering pillar, where every uttered commitment echoes with the strength of his character."
"A man whose word is bond navigates life with an unspoken pledge, his integrity a compass guiding him through the labyrinth of honor and trust."
"Amidst the noise of empty words, a true man knows that his word isn't just spoken; it's a sacred vow, a promise etched into the very fabric of his being."
"A man's word, when it carries the weight of sincerity, becomes an unbreakable bridge of trust, connecting him with the respect of those who value authenticity."
"In the symphony of promises, a man who honors his word plays the melody of trust, creating a harmony that resonates through the tapestry of genuine connections."
"A man's commitment isn't just a spoken declaration; it's a covenant with his own integrity, a promise that defines his path with authenticity and honor."
"Words are the currency of trust, and a man who values his bond invests in the richness of honesty, where every promise becomes a treasure of steadfast character."
