Religious Family: IslamReligious Tradition: Islam
Description: The original Nation of Islam was founded by Master Wallace Fard Muhammad in the years following the death of noble Drew Ali, founder of the Moorish Science Temple. It was developed further by Elijah Poole, who was also known as Elijah Muhammad (1897-1975). It began with ideas available in the popular culture and only in the 1980s began to move toward an orthodox Muslim position under the guidance of Elijah Muhammad's son, Warith Deen Muhammad (1933-2008). Under his leadership, the former Nation of Islam changed its name several times and eventually lost its distinctive organizational existence and became part of the larger American Sunni Muslim community.
