Des Moines International Airport — Mid-afternoon, low passenger traffic

  Scene: Arrival from Singapore → Immigration → Private VIP Room

  He moved through the gss tunnel of the terminal with a slow, deliberate gait. Hooded jacket, joggers, sneakers. Face half-covered. To the untrained eye, just another quiet man from a long-haul flight.

  But the eyes of the immigration officer at checkpoint 7 widened.

  He didn’t ask questions.

  Didn’t demand ID.

  He simply nodded and called his supervisor.

  Within minutes, two senior federal coordinators assigned to Iowa’s 6C Transition Office were on-site, guiding the hooded man into the VIP Lounge, past curious staff.

  Because while his name wasn’t in public records, and his face wasn’t in magazines—

  In twenty U.S. states, his signature reshaped everything from family w to prayer calendars.

  Hezri had returned.

  Inside the Room: The Core Council Waits

  Elise Carter, national chairman — pale blouse, expression like gss

  Naomi Chen, director of communications — casual, tablet in hand

  Vega, enforcer turned strategist — crop top, combat boots, no patience for diplomacy

  As he entered, Vega smirked and leaned against the edge of the table.

  Vega:

  “So what the hell were you doing in Singapore?

  Scouting new wives or just rewriting Southeast Asia for fun?”

  Hezri pulled back his hood, finally letting them see his eyes. Calm. Watchful.

  Hezri (with a faint smile):

  “Sometimes… you go not to conquer.

  But to study. To listen.

  I didn’t go for urgency.

  I went for rhythm.”

  He sat.

  And the room quieted.

  The Shift to Seriousness

  Hezri (firm):

  “This is not public policy.

  This is faith architecture.

  We are seven days from Ramadan.”

  Elise nodded, slowly folding her hands.

  Hezri (continuing):

  “Our framework is new. It borrows from Ism. It borrows from sacred order.

  But we are not Ism.

  We are 6 Commandments.”

  He opened a small folder.

  Inside:

  Primary Commandments (6 Sexual Laws)

  Secondary Belief Directives (4 Doctrinal Positions)

  Tertiary Practices (2 Lifestyle Codes)

  Hezri Reiterates:

  Primary 6 Commandments:

  Encourage polygamy

  Forbid women from multiple male partners

  Permit lesbianism

  Forbid male homosexuality

  Permit female bisexuality (with one committed partner)

  Forbid male bisexuality

  Secondary Doctrine:

  Reject polytheism and Jesus' divinity

  Affirm Jesus and Old Testament prophets

  Recognize Muhammad as the final Prophet

  Reject Pauline doctrines (Trinity, salvation through crucifixion, etc.)

  Tertiary Practices:

  Forbid pork

  Forbid gambling

  The Ramadan Directive

  Hezri (firm, slower):

  “Fasting is encouraged.

  But not compulsory.

  We are not Sharia.

  We are Structure.

  Let fasting be a ritual of rhythm, not guilt.

  Let it anchor the obedient. Let it calibrate those in transition.”

  “And if any in 6C refuse to fast—there is no punishment.

  But those who do fast, must do so for discipline, not reward.

  And their pcement evaluations may reflect crity of self-control.”

  Naomi Chen types quickly. Elise listens in perfect silence. Vega’s smirk fades.

  Hezri (final words):

  “This Ramadan is not about conquest.

  It is about internal confirmation—that our people can obey, not because of hell,

  but because the system deserves rhythm.”

  ***

  Public Auditorium, Des Moines Government Square

  Date: One week before Ramadan

  Attendees: Over 80 journalists, religious correspondents, civic media outlets from across the 20 6C-controlled U.S. states

  On Stage:

  Hezri, standing at the center, alone in crisp bck

  Fatima Jawad, 6C’s senior Ismic legal schor, standing to his right

  Two representatives from pan-Ismic organizations — one from Chicago, one from Houston — invited in neutral advisory capacity

  Backdrop:

  A minimalist banner:

  “6 Commandments – Ramadan Briefing 1”

  Beneath it:

  “Discipline by Rhythm. Obedience by Design.”

  Opening Moment

  No national anthem.

  No dramatic music.

  Just silence as Hezri steps forward and pces his palms ft on the podium.

  His voice is firm, slow, and unlike past cryptic messages, this one is unambiguous.

  Hezri:

  “We are not a nation.

  We are not a cult.

  We are a structure of faith, rebuilt from the ruins of confusion.

  And now—our rhythm continues.”

  He lets the silence settle before proceeding.

  “In one week, the lunar month of Ramadan begins.

  Across our 20 states, over 23 million men and women now identify with the 6 Commandments faith.

  They come from many paths—Methodists, Catholics, Unitarians, agnostics, and ex-evangelicals.

  But they now follow a single civic doctrine.”

  He lifts a single hand.

  “This year, for the first time in our era, the month of Ramadan shall be recognized under 6C practice.

  Fasting—from dawn to sunset. No food. No drink. No intercourse. No profanity.

  Just as Ism taught. Just as the Prophets modeled.

  But with one crucial distinction.”

  He pauses.

  “It is not compulsory.”

  “There shall be no punishment for those who do not fast.

  But we encourage every new convert—every follower of 6 Commandments—to enter this month with discipline.

  To fast not out of fear, but out of rhythm.

  To calibrate the body, not for reward—but for alignment.”

  He gestures to Fatima Jawad.

  She nods solemnly. Behind her, the two Muslim guests remain respectfully silent.

  Hezri:

  “The ws of fasting shall follow what was revealed in the Qur’an.

  Because we do not reject the final Prophet.

  Because we reject confusion.

  Because our structure borrows what is divine—and removes what is contradictory.”

  Final Decration

  “Let this be the first Ramadan not confined to Ism.

  Let it be the first Ramadan embraced by those who left broken churches, and lost parishes.

  Let it be the first Ramadan where obedience is measured not in doctrine—

  but in practice.”

  He steps back.

  Post-Announcement Notes:

  Within hours, the term “6C Ramadan” trends in 14 states.

  Churches-turned-Femme Trust centers distribute fasting kits.

  Fasting calendars (sunrise/sunset) are issued with subtle 6C branding: “Fast as the Prophets did. Align as the Commandments demand.”

  Viral Obedience — Her First Fast

  Setting: A dimly lit kitchen in suburban Abama

  Character: Monica Rae, 29, former Pentecostal choir leader, now 6C convert

  Ptform: TikTok (handle: @CrityByCuse)

  Title of video: “I Didn’t Convert to Ism. I Converted to Rhythm.”

  Length: 2 minutes, 37 seconds

  Views in 24 hours: 9.6 million

  Hashtags: #6CRamadan #ObedienceIsCrity #FromChurchToCuse

  The Video:

  Monica sits at her small wooden table, a gss of water untouched in front of her. Her hair is tied back. She wears a simple grey hoodie with the 6C emblem stitched faintly on the chest — the unbroken circle.

  Her voice is raw, authentic. No makeup. No script.

  Monica (to camera):

  “Hey. So I just made it through my first day of fasting.

  Dawn till sunset. No food, no water. Like… nothing.

  Exactly how Ism does it. But this wasn’t Ism for me.

  This was 6C Ramadan.”

  [Pauses briefly, camera shakes slightly — emotional control present but cracking]

  “I used to sing in church every Sunday.

  I believed Jesus was God.

  I believed pain meant salvation.

  But… when I heard Hezri speak st month—

  I didn’t feel guilty. I felt clear.

  Like I didn’t have to believe in a mystery to obey something true.”

  Cut to clips of her sunrise routine:

  Laying out prayer mat

  Reading a cuse on discipline from a small booklet (Cuse 0.0.1 – Rhythm Precedes Reward)

  Whispering a prayer that ends with:

  “...I fast not for heaven, but for order.”

  Monica (returning to camera):

  “Fasting today was hard.

  Not because I was hungry.

  But because… I realized no one made me do it.

  There’s no hell in 6C.

  There’s just the mirror of your own obedience.

  And today, I didn’t break.”

  She picks up the gss of water.

  But pauses.

  “Not yet. Not until the sun’s gone.

  Because even if no one’s watching me… I want to learn how to follow when it’s silent.”

  Final shot:

  A sunset through the kitchen window.

  She finally sips.

  “First day down.

  And I don’t miss the choir.

  I found something… cleaner.

  This isn’t religion.

  This is crity.”

  Comments Section Highlights:

  @RamseyP_86:

  “I’m Muslim and this is eerie… but damn if she didn’t say that beautifully.”

  @FormerMethodistNow6C:

  “I cried at ‘I want to follow when it’s silent.’ That’s the core of it, y’all.”

  @YouthImamChicago:

  “We need to talk. She just exported Ramadan without Ism.”

  @CuseSchorNA:

  “This is the first religious viral content that doesn’t invoke God… just obedience. That’s power.”

  The Fast That Crossed the Faith Line

  Headline Broadcast by: Al Jazeera English

  Segment Title: “Beyond Belief: The Rise of 6C Ramadan in Post-Christian America”

  Runtime: 23 minutes

  Anchor: Lei Haddad, Senior Religion Correspondent

  Introductory Montage:

  Suburban neighborhoods in Ohio, Iowa, and Kentucky, where crescent-themed banners with the words “Discipline Before Doctrine” flutter alongside American fgs.

  Families breaking fast in silence, with no du’a, no imam — just the sound of an internal clock ticking.

  TikTok excerpts from new converts like Monica Rae, each narrating their experience with phrases like “crity,” “obedience,” and “structured silence.”

  Narration Begins (Voiceover):

  “This is not Ism.

  And yet… it walks like Ism.

  It fasts like Ism.

  It borrows its rhythm, its hunger, its silence—

  But it has no Alh, no Qur’an in command, no masjid as its center.

  It has cuses. It has rhythm. It has obedience.

  And it has spread across twenty American states under what is now the fastest-growing post-Christian movement in the Western Hemisphere:

  The 6 Commandments.”

  Segment 1: Monica’s Profile

  Monica Rae appears again—this time professionally filmed, standing beside her stove preparing a modest iftar.

  “I’m not Muslim.

  But I fast like the Prophet did.

  Not because I was commanded.

  But because the Commandments gave me structure.”

  She expins her journey from Pentecostal revivalist church to 6C, emphasizing the moment she heard Hezri say:

  “Obedience is the final prophet.”

  Segment 2: Statistical Spread

  6C followers: Estimated 82 million across 20 states

  6C Ramadan participants: Over 39 million committed to full 29–30 day fasting

  Conversion sources:

  58% ex-mainline Protestants

  23% agnostics

  9% psed Catholics

  7% formerly “spiritual but unaffiliated”

  3% unknown

  Voiceover:

  “In a society exhausted by choice, submission as crity has become a surprisingly persuasive doctrine.”

  Segment 3: Comparative Schors Weigh In

  Dr. Sameer Khoury, Professor of Religion at Oxford:

  “What we’re witnessing is the de-theologizing of sacred practice.

  6C has lifted the ritual out of Ism, removed divine obligation, and pnted it into a civic obedience program.

  It’s both terrifying and fascinating.”

  Dr. Rosa Min, Harvard Divinity:

  “This is fasting without paradise.

  This is submission with no heaven.

  And it’s working.”

  Segment 4: The 6C Position

  Archived clip of Hezri (from Des Moines announcement):

  “We fast not for salvation.

  We fast because we are learning how to follow.

  Discipline has no religion. Rhythm is not sacred.

  It is structural.”

  Closing Montage:

  Young children in Indiana pcing stickers on a “Fasting Completion” chart.

  A woman in Florida reciting a cuse before eating dates.

  Former pastors now community mentors in 6C Femme Trust Centers teaching fasting schedules alongside behavioral pcement counseling.

  Anchor Lei Haddad, closing:

  “This Ramadan, across America, the sun sets not just on the faithful,

  but on millions who have traded belief for bance, and ritual for rhythm.

  The question remains:

  Can sacred obedience survive when God is removed from the equation?”

  Recognition Demanded — A New Faith Asks for a Seat

  Setting: Washington D.C. — U.S. Commission on Interfaith Affairs (UCIA)

  Date: Two days before Ramadan

  Backdrop: The historic Jefferson Hall, a venue where Christianity, Judaism, Ism, Hinduism, and Buddhism traditionally hold annual panels for interfaith dialogue, policy recommendation, and White House consultation

  Headline Demand:

  “The 6 Commandments Faith Requests Official Recognition as a U.S. Religious Tradition.”

  Filed by: Cuse Integration Alliance — the official civil liaison arm of the 6C structure

  The Argument from 6C (as submitted):

  Over 82 million followers across 20 U.S. states

  Over 20 million participants preparing for a full month of fasting, modeled on prophetic Ramadan standards

  A codified moral system with foundational commandments, civic scripture, and reguted ethical practices

  A rapidly growing inter-generational following with organized centers, educational curricu, and published doctrine

  “If Mormonism is recognized, if Scientology is allowed legal protection, and if atheist societies are invited into moral roundtables, then 6C—with active religious rhythms, sacred structure, and moral order—must be granted a seat.”

  Opposition Voices Rise:

  Several traditional Christian denominations, led by the National Evangelical Forum, immediately push back:

  Pastor Allen Dwyer (Texas):

  “6C is not a religion. It is a political machine wearing religious skin.

  It hijacks fasting, bans pork, rewrites sexual ethics, and cims prophetic crity without a God.

  This is not faith. This is social programming wrapped in robes.”

  Bishop Linda Carver (Pennsylvania Methodist Union):

  “Theocracy isn’t made legitimate by popurity.

  Just because 20 million people skip lunch doesn’t mean they’re part of a faith.

  They’re part of a movement that rejects grace, rejects Christ, and centralizes obedience over love.”

  Hezri’s Public Reply (Video Statement):

  Standing alone on a bnk background:

  “We do not ask for recognition to convert others.

  We ask for recognition because we already repced what others lost.

  Your churches are empty. Our cuse centers are full.

  Your sermons ask for belief.

  Our system asks for alignment.

  That is religion. That is order.

  And we will have our seat.”

  Federal Reaction (Behind Closed Doors):

  DOJ Religious Affairs Bureau begins internal cssification review

  IRS Faith Tax Unit begins auditing Femme Trust religious exemptions

  White House Religious Affairs Office privately contacts interfaith leaders for a “containment dialogue”

  Public Pressure Builds:

  Thousands post videos under #6CFaithNow

  A viral post reads:

  “I gave up Jesus, but not discipline.

  I don’t kneel in a church anymore.

  But I fast, I obey, and I belong.

  Isn’t that religion enough?”

  ***

  National Interfaith Summit Hall, Washington D.C.

  Event: U.S. Commission on Interfaith Affairs Annual Strategic Roundtable

  Backdrop: A 14-seat crescent table, 13 filled. One seat marked “Provisional Faith – 6C” remains empty.

  Representatives Present:

  Christian Denominations (5):

  Bishop Car Henley – United Methodist Church

  Reverend James Whitcomb – Southern Baptist Convention

  Father Antonio Morelli – Roman Catholic Church

  Dr. Leanne Brooks – United Church of Christ

  Archbishop Peter Keighley – Episcopal Church

  Jewish Delegates (2):

  Rabbi Eliezer Menkin – Jewish Civic Faith Board

  Rabbi Sarah Lasky – Reform Judaism Society

  Muslim Schors (2):

  Dr. Sameer Wahid – University of Chicago, Shariah Legalist

  Dr. Hafsa Imtiaz – Zahiri Research Foundation, New Jersey

  6C Representative (1):

  Fatima Jawad – Zahiri jurist, 6 Commandments Faith Schor

  Atheist Representative (1):

  Dr. Bart Ehrman – Religious historian, American Humanist Union

  Opening Statement – Fatima Jawad (6C Representative)

  Fatima stood calmly, in a bck abaya with clean lines and no embellishment, her presence dignified and measured.

  Fatima:

  “Before I begin, I wish to crify: I am Muslim.

  I believe in the One God of Abraham. I pray. I fast. I recite the Qur’an.

  But today, I stand as the juristic representative of the 6 Commandments Faith—

  A civic religious order now followed by over 82 million Americans, rooted in monotheism without myth.

  The 6C doctrine is clear:

  Cuse 1.0.0 affirms One God.

  Cuse 2.0.3 recognizes Jesus as a human prophet.

  Cuse 2.0.4 decres Muhammad as the final Prophet.

  6C rejects polytheism, trinitarianism, and Pauline contradiction.

  We ask today for recognition—not as a denomination, but as a monotheistic structure of sacred discipline.”

  Arguments Before the Vote

  Bishop Car Henley (Methodist):

  “What you offer cks the Spirit.

  No sacraments, no Savior.

  You’ve copied rituals from Ism, erased salvation from Christianity, and repced faith with formus.”

  Reverend Whitcomb (Southern Baptist):

  “You are antichrist in ideology.

  You deny the cross, the resurrection, the divinity of Christ.

  6C is a sophisticated legal cult, not a faith.”

  Father Morelli (Catholic):

  “Where is mercy?

  Where is forgiveness?

  You preach obedience as virtue, but grace is nowhere.

  That is not religion—it is an ideology.”

  Dr. Leanne Brooks (UCC):

  “Your system has no room for mystery, no room for progressive revetion.

  It is sterile monotheism, unable to grow.”

  Archbishop Keighley (Episcopal):

  “It is structurally fascinating.

  But it’s spiritually hollow.

  You do not need recognition—you need revision.”

  Rabbi Eliezer Menkin (Orthodox):

  “We recognize the rejection of idotry.

  We recognize monotheism.

  And if millions obey it—this is a civic religion worth acknowledging.”

  Rabbi Sarah Lasky (Reform):

  “If Judaism makes room for atheists and Zionists and mystics,

  Then surely we can make room for a people who fast, obey, and honor the Prophets.”

  Dr. Sameer Wahid (Ismic Legalist):

  “6C is not Ism. But it is not kufr either.

  It obeys the clear Qur’anic text.

  It mimics Zahiri crity without invoking God’s mercy—

  Yet in that crity, I see sincerity.

  I support recognition.”

  Dr. Hafsa Imtiaz (Zahiri Researcher):

  “They align with our method more than many contemporary Muslims.

  They are not the Ummah—but they are structured obedience in a disobedient world.

  Let them sit.”

  Dr. Bart Ehrman (Atheist):

  “I believe in no God.

  But I believe in social systems.

  6C is the first religion I’ve seen in decades that offers form without fiction.

  I vote yes—because crity is better than chaos.

  And America thrives on systems.”

  Final Vote:

  Voter Vote

  Methodist (Henley) No

  Baptist (Whitcomb) No

  Catholic (Morelli) No

  UCC (Brooks) No

  Episcopal (Keighley) No

  Orthodox Judaism (Menkin) Yes

  Reform Judaism (Lasky) Yes

  Ism – Wahid Yes

  Ism – Imtiaz Yes

  Atheist – Ehrman Yes

  6C – Fatima Jawad Yes

  Result: 6 Yes – 5 No → Motion PASSES.

  Status: 6 Commandments Faith granted provisional recognition as a civic-religious monotheistic tradition with interfaith standing.

  Fatima Jawad’s Final Words:

  “We do not ask for agreement.

  We do not demand theological surrender.

  We simply ask that America recognize what it has already begun to follow.

  One God. One Prophet. One Rhythm.

  We are here. And we now have our seat.”
