MAAT
Maat or Ma'at refers to the ancient Egyptian concepts of truth,
balance, order, harmony, law, morality, and justice. Maat was
also the goddess who personified these concepts, and regulated
the stars, seasons, and the actions of mortals and the deities
who had brought order from chaos at the moment of creation.
Her ideological opposite was Isfet, meaning injustice, chaos,
violence or to do evil.

MA'AT
THE ANCIENT GODDESS
OF TRUTH
JUSTICE AND MORALITY
Maat, also known as Ma’at or Mayet, was a female goddess in the ancient
Egyptian religion who represented truth, justice, balance and morality.
The daughter of the Egyptian sun deity Ra and wife of the moon god Thoth,
she served a kind of spirit of justice to the Egyptians. She decided
whether a person would successfully reach the afterlife, by weighing
their soul against her feather of truth, and was the personification of
the cosmic order and a representation of the stability of the universe.
The earliest writings where she is mentioned date back to the Old Kingdom
of Egypt more than 2,300 years ago.

SECTION 3
THE 42
LAWS OF
MAAT
By Antoinette McKesson
The Laws of MAAT, known as the Declaration of Innocence, are the
oldest Afrikan book of Holy Scriptures. Maat was the ancient
Egyptian concept of truth, balance, order, law, morality, and
justice. Maat was also personified as a goddess regulating the
stars, seasons, and the actions of both mortals and the deities,
who set the order of the universe from chaos at the moment of
creation.
As a principle, Maat was developed to meet the complex needs of
the emergent Egyptian state that embraced diverse peoples with
conflicting interests. These rules sought to avert chaos, violence
and lies, expressed in the concept of Isfet.
The significance of Maat rules embraced all aspects of existence,
including: fair dealings, honesty and truthfulness in social
interactions, achieving impartiality, social justice, the
equilibrium of the universe, cycle of the seasons, religious
observations, and heavenly movements. Morning affirmations would
affirm “I will not…” and the evening affirmations would affirm
“I have not…”
