Elijah Muhammad


 



Nation Of Islam Leader, Elijah Muhammad Died February 25, 1975, In Chicago, At The Age Of 77.

Elijah Muhammad Was A Powerful, Controversial Figure Who Attacked The Beliefs Of The Christian Community, Calling Christianity "The Religion Of Slavery And An Instrument Of Oppression Controlled By 'White Devils."

Muhammad Began His Climb Up The Ranks Of The Nation Of Islam After He Founded Temple No. 2 In Chicago, In 1932. He Became Supreme Minister Following The Mysterious Disappearance Of Nation Of Islam Founder, W.D. Fard

By 1962, Elijah Muhammad Was Well-Established As The Leader Of The Black Muslims. Known As The "Messenger Of Allah," He Called For A Separate African American Nation Within The United States

Under Elijah Muhammad's Leadership The Nation Of Islam Attracted Several Hundred Thousand Black Followers. One Hundred And Fifty Temples Were Opened In The United States And The Caribbean, And At Least 50 Islamic Universities Were Established.


The "Lost-Found Nation Of Islam Here In The Wilderness Of North America" Required Strict Discipline In Personal Conduct And Encouraged Blacks In The Inner-City To Open Businesses.

The Nation Also Instructed Blacks To Drop Their Last Names (Of Bondage) And Replace Them With Islamic Names. Or, They Could Simply Adopt X, As Did Malcolm X, To Await The Day "God Himself Returned And Gave Us A Holy Name From His Own Mouth."

Upon His Death, Elijah Muhammad's Son, Wallace D. Muhammad, Assumed Leadership Of The Nation Of Islam. He Ushered In Notable Changes, Such As Opening Membership To Whites, Changing The Organization's Name To The World Community Of Islam And Abandoning The Notion Of A Separate Black State Within The United States.

"In Order For Black History To Live, We Must Continue To Breathe Life Into It." -- Hubert Gaddy, Jr.

Hello Harry,

You're right I do delete many of your comments, NOT because of any personal dislike of you, but because I dislike your name-calling & insults. I'm not going to subject my readers to that because they deserve better. Despite what you think It's NOT all about YOU!!

Siebra Muhammad Saturday, February 26th 2011 at 12:24PM

Harry you are a wuss with a capital W....even the President himself wouldn't agree with your kinda talk!!!

powell robert Saturday, February 26th 2011 at 7:35PM

Hugh, I have known you to be a remarkable Historian, Researcher, Tireless Source of Things That others have deleted, omitted and ignored in History.

I do not like to comment to others on anyones blog, but, harry---we all or at least 99.5% of readers knows is mentallyChallenged--he admits it.

But, siebra and the other NOI--2011farakhanners----Delete, Omit and Ignore The Family of Elijah Muhammad and Denigrate His History---they are the same and siebra should also be deleted................................



Siebra Muhammad Saturday, February 26th 2011 at 10:03PM

Robert please, there you go with your lies and B.S. once again...the problem with you is that you want everyone to bow down and kiss your feet like they're bowing down to the pope...as long as I've been a member of this site no one has ever heard me say anything offensive about Elijah Muhammad nor Minister Farrakhan...in fact my family has always respected our leadesr, teachers, and guides...you and Harry on the other hand waste no time in cricitizing Farrakhan or anyone who supports him...now who should really be deleted?

If lying were crack cocaine, you and Harry would no doubt be dead by now (LOL)...

Harry Watley Saturday, February 26th 2011 at 10:47PM

Hello Mr. Gaddy,

I see that you have deleted my last comment. My last comment did not have any insult or name-calling. My last comment was to show your lies that I do not insult and name call. You all delete my comments because you cannot handle the truth when I correct you all perspective about things. For instance, I was correcting your perspective about Mr. Elijah Muhammad and you didn't like it and could not show that I am wrong.

We need to search for a Black leader that could lead us into sovereignty on a portion of this continent that we could call our very own country with borders. I am that prophet and leader and most of you all don't like it, but you cannot do anything about it since it is God that anointed me. Am I making any sense Mr. Gaddy or will you delete this comment as well?

Mr. Gaddy for the most part BIA have come to know me, the good the bad and the ugly ones. BIA knows that how unjust and rejecting you all are of me without having a just reason. BIA knows the things I say a true. BIA knows that no one has all could trump the things I say. BIA knows I am not against my people, but instead, I am for my people.

What say you Mr. Gaddy?

Hugh Gaddy Sunday, February 27th 2011 at 11:56AM

The blog post about Muhammad is based on documented fact. I didn't offer a perspective one way or the other. However others on BIA deal with you, is their choice. I don't debate self-absorbed, megalomaniacs who suffer from delusions of grandeur (These are psychological terms, not insults) ... That's counterproductive and pointless to me.

You have way too much time on your hands, my Brother. Harry, it's easy to sit behind a computer screen and criticize. It's easy to speak rhetoric into the universe everyday. But until you DO SOMETHING, no one is going to take you seriously. You never show any evidence of what you've done to move Black America forward. And if you're the "so-called," self-proclaimed savior of Black America that you profess to be, you would doing more than analyzing problems from a computer, You would have FIXED them!!

The whole of Black America doesn't have to agree with you for you to effect positive change in the community. However, REAL LEADERS DO IT WITH ACTION, whether they have FULL support from others, or not. Take your EGO out of your purpose... Get down in the trenches & EFFECT SOME POSITIVE CHANGE!!

againSiebra---as Hugh Factualizes above---

"Upon His Death, Elijah Muhammad's Son, Wallace D. Muhammad, Assumed Leadership Of The Nation Of Islam. He Ushered In Notable Changes, Such As Opening Membership To Whites, Changing The Organization's Name To The World Community Of Islam And Abandoning The Notion Of A Separate Black State Within The United States."

If I take this statement as FACT-TRUTH----which ALL of the Family of Elijah Muhammad DO.

you, and the other faraakhannners are a LIE.................

you could easily tell Mr. Hugh Gaddy he is INCORRECT---

I KNOW he is CORRECT

I do not LIE to you or anyone........





Siebra Muhammad Sunday, February 27th 2011 at 1:07PM

Whatever!!!
