It is to emphasized that Nation of Islam (NOI) is an Organization that is diffferent than main stream Muslims who are believing in the true Islam per Quran revelation to prophet Muhammad (PBUH); through the angel Gabriel (Jibril); and witnessing that no God except one and only one God and that Muhammad is his prophet and messenger.

NOI is a religious and cultural organization founded in 1931 in the United States, espousing Islamic principles and favoring political, social, and economic independence for African Americans.

There are dramatic differences between main stream Muslims (Sunnis or Shiites) and Nation of Islam (NOI) organization Muslims. The main differences are as follow:

  • NOI Muslims believe that the founder of the Nation of Islam, Wallace Fard Muhammad, is Allah (God) on earth. This is against the teachings of Prophet Muhammad, who said that Allah is the Creator and is the one and only one God with no partner and no associate and could not be incarnated in a man or be seen.
  • NOI Muslims believe that Black people are superior to the Whites, and therefore do not accept whites into the Nation of Islam. The main stream Islam teaches us that all races are equal, and any person of any race can convert into Islam.
  • The Nation of Islam (NOI) organization believes that Elijah Muhammad, a leader of the NOI, was a prophet. The Qur'an tells us that Muhammad was the last prophet sent to mankind.
  • The NOI believes that Black scientists created the Qur'an. The real Muslims believe that Allah (or God English, same God in Christianity and Judaism)created it and revealed it to prophet Muhammad (PBUH) through Angel Jibril (Gabriel).
