God: Creator of all destiny, by His Mercy we draw from, He ordains our choice to right path.

The Fatherland: Land that begets our bounty, from which we sustain ourselves we protect its integrity and defend it from all enemies.

King: Our commander and guide, he guides our renaissance and development, protector of our people's rights."

The Royal Moroccan Armed Forces motto, which graces every military base, banner, and ship, is: "God, The Fatherland, and The King".[24]
