What did Nation of Islam preach in the 1950's?

Answer 1

Many people confuse the Nation of Islam with Islam, which is incorrect. The Nation of Islam is a specific African-American religion founded by Wallace Fard Muhammad. While Islam is not a racist religion, i.e. it does not discriminate on the basis of race, the Nation of Islam is a racist religion, holding Blacks to be a Superior Race and Whites and Jews to be Inferior Races. It makes sense that when the leadership of a religion makes openly racist statements that the religion is perceived as racist.

For example, Wallace Fard Muhammad would preach in the 1950s that the original humans were all black until an evil scientist Yakub created "white devil children" on the island of Patmos and proceeded to kill all Blacks until the White Devils were in power. Before Malcolm X left the Nation of Islam to become a Sunni Muslim, he said: "Thoughtful white people know they are inferior to Black people. Even [Senator] Eastland knows it. Anyone who has studied the genetic phase of Biology knows that white is considered recessive and black is considered dominant." On the charges of Anti-Semitism, these come from absurd claims that the Jews were overwhelmingly responsible for African enslavement and that Hitler was a great man for murdering Jews in the Holocaust.

Answer 2

Preaching in Islam has been the same since the birth of Islam. It is always the same. The basic teachings of Islam are:

1. The major beliefs on which the Muslim traditions are based are: Eemaan Mujmal:Translation: I believe in Almighty Allah, as are His beautiful Names and Attributes, I accept all His Commands, I declare from my tongue, and testify by my heart. Eeman Mufassal:Translation: I believe in Almighty Allah. The Angels, all heavenly Books, all Prophets, in the Day of Judgment, and this that Good or Bad Destiny is from Him, and that there will be life after death and then No death (Eternal life in heaven or hell). Belief in Almighty Allah (God): God- Allah is ONE Allah. There is no god but He. He and He alone deserves worship. He is All-Knowing, All-Seeing. All power lies in His Hands. He will punish the sinners and reward the Good. He is Eternal, Unique, and incorporeal. There is nothing like Him. He is Omnipresent, Omnipotent, Supreme One. No one can understand His true Nature or True Being.

2. Belief in Angels Created by Almighty God- Allah Karim from light. They are obedient to Allah Karim. Carry out His commands. The Jews and Christians also believe in the Angels.

3. The Muslims believe in all heavenly books, including Tora, Zaboor, The Bible, the last one being the Qur'an.

4. The Muslims believe in all the Messengers (Prophets May peace be upon them all) of Almighty Allah- No distinction among them. Hazrat Muhammad (SAW) being the last Prophet of Islam. NO Prophet after him.

5. The Muslims believe in the life after death, resurrection and the Day of Judgment. Almighty Allah Karim is the Sole Ruler/Master of that Day. He enjoys the absolute authority to send people to Heaven or Hell. .

6. The Muslims believe that good and bad Destiny being in the Hands of Almighty Allah. No One can change his destiny.

7. Life hereafter: All the dead will be raised again and judged according to their good or bad deeds. There will be no death to them.

8. Hell and Heaven (Paradise)

9. The Muslims believe that Nobody can take the responsibility of some other person's deeds.

10. All the power of decision making is in the Hands of Almighty Allah, and none else.

11. The Muslims must give charity 2.5% of annual saving. They should also help the poor and the needy, irrespective of their caste, creed, color or country because all human beings are the off-spring of One couple- Hazrat Adam (AS) and Hazrat Eve (AS).

12. The Muslims must live a noble, chaste, truthful, honest, just and fair life.

13. The Muslims must be kind to all human beings and all creatures of Almighty Allah.

14. It is very unfortunate that most of the Muslims don't follow the teachings of Islam. They are notorious for their terrorism, cruelty, dishonesty and injustice. Anyhow, Islam disowns Terrorists, unjust and cruel people.
