Intro
He was born as George Givens was a native of Sumpter, South Carolina. He was born December 6, 1904.
Upon coming of age John Givens-El traveled west, finally settling in Chicago, IL, May 14, 1925. Shortly thereafter he embraced the teachings of Prophet Noble Drew Ali and joined and became a member of Chicago’s subordinate Temple #1 in 1926. After a brief period in the Temple, he was initiated into its Adept Chambers. He also became the chauffeur-mechanic for Prophet Noble Drew Ali.
In August-1929, within a month of Drew Ali’s death, John Givens El, Ali’s chauffeur, declared that he was Drew Ali reincarnated (Excerpt from “MUQARRABEEN FILES VOL 1” by Brother R. Edwards-El, A.S.D.M., Author Brother J. Barnes-Bey, Co-Author). He was said to have fainted while working on Drew Ali’s automobile, and “the sign of the star and crescent [appeared] in his eyes.” John Givens-El also was apprehended after he forced his way into Attorney Payne’s home in search of Drew Ali’s papers.
At the September Unity Conference, Givens again made his claim of reincarnation. However, the governors of the Moorish Science Temple of America declared Charles Kirkman Bey to be Drew Ali’s successor and named him Grand Advisor.
With the support of several temples each, both Mealy El and Givens El went on to lead independent factions of the Moorish Science Temple. All three factions—formed and led by Kirkman Bey, Mealy El, and Givens El—are active today.
Givens was sent to the insane asylum but was released several years later. In 1941, he was heading a Chicago Temple on East 40th Street and still asserting his claim to the title of Grand Sheik of all Moorish American Science Temples. Givens is one of six contestants, each one a Temple leader and each one designating his own Temple as Temple Number One (1).
