A talk on Nation of Islam (NOI) with Chaplain Muhsin Shaheed at DFW Airport by Dr. Abul Rashid

Описание: It seems the difference is not clear to majority of USA population on Nation of Islam and Islam in general. While it appears, some Muslims understand the subtle difference, others are confused. “The Nation of Islam (NOI) is the oldest and most stable black nationalist organization in the United States” (White, 2001). To understand the difference, we had a conversation with a pioneer of the movement – Chaplain Mushin Shaheed. Questions discussed are below:
1) When and who introduce Islam to African Americans?
2) Who was Fard Muhammad and Elijah Muhammad?
3) What was Islam (authentic) that came to African Americans?
4) Why was this movement called Islam (not Authentic)?
5) How was this movement or idea brought?
6) What are the definitions of temples, laborers, FOI (fruit of Islam), MGT (Muslim girls training), etc.?
7) Who were Wallace D. Muhammad and Malcolm X?
8) What happened after the Death of Elijah Muhammad?
9) What is that status of African American Muslims in relation to general Community (Sunni Muslims)?
