Nation of Islam
()
An organization
formed in the United States in the 1930s by Elijah Poole (later known as
Elijah Muhammad), which gained prominence during the nascent civil-rights
movement in the 1950s. In its efforts to uplift and provide self-worth to
African-Americans, the nationalist organization espoused a doctrine of black
superiority, and posited that God manifested Himself as a human being by the
name of W.D. Fard, Elijah Muhammad's instructor. Such doctrines and
teachings of the Nation are incompatible with the universal outlook and
absolute monotheism of Islam. Unfortunately, much confusion has resulted and
continues to exist due to this group's appropriation of certain Arabic
terms, values, and ideas from mainstream Islam. Followers of the Nation,
often incorrectly called "Black Muslims" number less than 10,000 today. Many
thousands of former members entered the fold of universal Islam after the
death of Elijah Muhammad in 1975 under the leadership of his son Warith Deen
Muhammad. (c.i.e)
