Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Elijah Muhammad (1897-1975) was one of the most significant and controversial black leaders of the twentieth century. His followers called him the Messenger of Allah, while his critics labeled him a teacher of hate. Southern by birth, Muhammad moved north, eventually serving as the influential head of the Nation of Islam for over forty years. Claude Clegg III not only chronicles Muhammad's life, but also examines the history of American black nationalists and the relationship between Islam and the African American experience. In this authoritative biography, which also covers half a century of the evolution of the Nation of Islam, Clegg charts Muhammad's early life, his brush with Jim Crow in the South, his rise to leadership of the Nation of Islam, and his tumultuous relationship with Malcolm X. Clegg is the first biographer to weave together speeches and published works by Muhammad, as well as delving into declassified government documents, insider accounts, audio and video records, and interviews, producing the definitive account of an extraordinary man and his legacy.

Book excerpt: Here, eagerly anticipated, is the definitive biography of Elijah Muhammad (né Elija Poole), a sharecropper's son with a fourth- grade education who became one of the most controversial Americans of the twentieth century, the founder and "Prophet" of the Nation of Islam, a movement dedicated to black separatism and self-empowerment. Though Muhammad's main argument--that white people were innately evil ("devils," he called them)--ran counter to the precepts of orthodox Islam, he was the chief influence in the conversion of nearly four million African Americans to Islam, touching in the process the lives of figures ranging from Muhammad Ali and Jesse Jackson to Malcolm X and Louis Farrakhan. But in his desperate grasp for power, Muhammad also amassed a huge personal fortune at the expense of his followers. He was a party to ritualistic homicides, had illicit affairs galore, and was quick to betray his friends and charges, most notably Malcolm X. In brief, he violated every ideal and principle that he espoused. With the cooperation of some of Elijah Muhammad's children and former apostles and with access to previously unreleased FBI files, Karl Evanzz gives us an unprecedented account of the life of the man whose philosophy continues, long after his death, to shape race relations in America.
Book Synopsis The True History of Elijah Muhammad - The Black Stone by : Elijah Muhammad
Download or read book The True History of Elijah Muhammad - The Black Stone written by Elijah Muhammad and published by Elijah Muhammad Books.com. This book was released on 2008-11-06 with total page 326 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Messenger Elijah Muhammad was considered, by the national as well as the international press, as one of the most inaccessible men in America; if the press, white or Negro, wanted to see Elijah Muhammad, they had to come to him: a degree of significance earned by Messenger Muhammad, and commanded by integrity. In an effort to ensure the clarity and sanctity of his message and history, this book draws from his own words to explain and elaborate on sensitive subjects like his mission, domestic life, family, and his relationship with his teacher, Master Fard Muhammad. It also delves into his relationship to other prophets, the paralleled work accomplished to substantiate his fulfilment, and important unpublished writings from his desk surrounding controversial matters perpetuated in today's public media.
Book Synopsis The Theology Of Time - The Secret of Time by : Elijah Muhammad
Download or read book The Theology Of Time - The Secret of Time written by Elijah Muhammad and published by Elijah Muhammad Books.com. This book was released on 2008-11-06 with total page 404 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Theology of Time is a 20 lecture book. The lecture series ranged from June thru October 1972. It wasn't uncommon to either hear him on radio broadcasts or one of his ministers. Having been prohibited to speak by Allah up to this point, this represented a significant occasion. Elijah Muhammad covered a wide and comprehensive overview of his entire program, concepts and lessons. This is by far the most wide ranging example of his teaching. Many of the subjects he taught was scattered over the entire period, which is why in this direct transcribed version is made available; thus leaving the subjects in the exact order the Messenger taught them. There is also a subject-Indexed version, which grouped the subjects together instead of leaving them scattered (see ISBN 1884855628). Both are complete!

Book excerpt: Almost four decades after his death Elijah Muhammad (1897-1975) remains by far the most influential African American Muslim. Leader of the Nation of Islam movement for over thirty years and a mentor to Malcolm X, Muhammad was responsible for introducing hundreds of thousands of African Americans to Islam. In this fascinating biography Herbert Berg assesses the impact of Muhammad’s unique and intriguing perspective on Islam, and seeks to understand why he formulated it.

Book Synopsis Why Must Elijah First Come? by : Elijah Muhammad
Download or read book Why Must Elijah First Come? written by Elijah Muhammad and published by Elijah Muhammad Books. This book was released on 2008 with total page 142 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The "doctors of the law" in the bible knew that certain events had to take place in order to verify the timing of judgment predicted to come at the end of white rule. When Jesus of 2,000 years ago made his appearance in an attempt to save them, those who were familiar with scripture and its timing studied the resurrection and judgment teachings of Jesus, but found that the timing was suspect. Considering that there were a few gaps or events missing from the time, they constantly second guessed him and his disciples. One such incident happened when the disciples were out teaching and were approached by the Jewish Scribes, who rejected their claim, because Elijah was to be raised just before the great and dreadful day of the Lord. When the disciple went back to Jesus to report of their encounter, they asked Jesus, "Why do the Scribes say that Elijah must first come?
Book Synopsis A Nation Can Rise No Higher Than Its Women by : Bayyinah S. Jeffries
Download or read book A Nation Can Rise No Higher Than Its Women written by Bayyinah S. Jeffries and published by Lexington Books. This book was released on 2014-04-04 with total page 201 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Nation Can Rise No Higher Than Its Women: African American Muslim Women in the Movement for Black Self Determination, 1950–1975 challenges traditional notions and interpretations of African American, particularly women who joined the Original Nation of Islam during the Civil Rights-Black Power era. This book is the first major investigation of the subject that engages a wide scope of women from “The Nation” and utilizes a wealth of primary documents and personal interviews to reveal the importance of women in this community. Jeffries reveals that women were respected in the movement and maintained a very clear and often sought after voice in the advancement of the Original Nation of Islam. A Nation Can Rise No Higher Than Its Women replaces the typical portrait of the subservient and irrelevant African American Muslim woman with a far more accurate picture of their integral leadership and substantial contributions to the rise of Islam and black consciousness in the self-determination movement in the United States and beyond during the Civil Rights-Black Power era.

His fascinating perspective on the lies and limitations of the American Dream, and the inherent racism in a society that denies its nonwhite citizens the opportunity to dream, gives extraordinary insight into the most urgent issues of our own time. The Autobiography of Malcolm X stands as the definitive statement of a movement and a man whose work was never completed but whose message is timeless. It is essential reading for anyone who wants to understand America. Praise for The Autobiography of Malcolm X “Extraordinary . . . a brilliant, painful, important book.”—The New York Times “This book will have a permanent place in the literature of the Afro-American struggle.”—I.

Book Synopsis Mother of the Nation: Clara Evans Muhammad by : Institute American Studies
Download or read book Mother of the Nation: Clara Evans Muhammad written by Institute American Studies and published by . This book was released on 2020-07-30 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mother of the Nation offers the definitive biography of Clara Evans Muhammad, a Black woman who became the center of an unprecedented racial and religious transformation in the US. Skillfully constructed to illustrate 20th-century racial conditions in America,this thought-provoking biography by Dr. Zakiyyah Muhammad recreates the life and times of an illustrious woman who, in promoting the cause of social justice, became, in the process, the "Mother of the Nation of Islam." It is a superbly researched and fast-moving narrative, based on primary sources and on interviews with those who knew her personally, exploring both Clara's public and private life, including her relationships with her husband, her family, and her friends. This Volume One of a three-part series chronicles the formative years (1899-1930) of Sister Clara's life. She was born within a close-knit Christian family during a period in which lynchings, social oppression and deadly racial riots were common occurrences throughout both the South and the North. For Clara, the Church was not only the center of social life but an emotional experience. She liked spirituals and had a beautiful singing voice. She was inspired by Black preachers such as Henry McNeal Turner and others who used Bible revelation in an attempt to rebuild family lives disintegrated by slavery and Jim Crow. It was in the spring of 1917 at a church social that Clara met him, and everything changed...the air, her breathing, her steps, and her heart. His name was Elijah Poole. He was handsome, sensitive and dirt poor. At 6:00 every Sunday evening, Elijah would come a courtin'. However, Quartus Evans was not going to have his daughter marry "down", and there was nothing Elijah could do to convince him of his suitability. By age 20, Clara was determined to marry Elijah, against objections of her parents. On a cold Georgia night, she climbed out of a window of her parent's home and eloped. They were married on March 17, 1919, a marriage based on faith, and with only love between them. In February 1921, a healthy baby boy was born, bringing reconciliation to her parents and additional comfort to her and Elijah. Looking for relief from lynchings, injustice and discrimination, Clara and Elijah became part of the Great Migration. In 1923, they arrived in Detroit, with 2 children and Clara pregnant. However, their poverty became so debilitating, with Elijah out of work and inebriated daily ("I was a drunk and my wife had to carry me home"), that Clara even contemplated suicide and infanticide. Then, a friend took her to a meeting to hear the "Teachings" of a mystic spiritual teacher named Wallace D. Fard. Clara, hoping "this will help my husband," took Elijah to hear the "Teachings", and thus laid the foundation of what would become The Nation of Islam. Eventually, Clara Muhammad, wife of a formidable spiritual leader, would develop an edifying program for Black women focusing on cultural changes in diet, dress, etiquette and racial pride. It would transform Black womanhood and family life and erase the staggering effects of racism on their psyche. Her lifelong struggle for the dignity and self-respect of African American women makes for memorable reading. Of particular interest is the description of Clara's "stand" against authorities who visited her when she refused to send her children to "the Devil's schools." A forerunner of Home Schooling, Clara initiated an independent Black educational institution. Later, she would administer the "Nation" during her husband's imprisonment, and introduce the Holy Qur'an into the US prison system. Pivoting from the biggest questions about American history to the most intimate concerns of a mother for her husband, children and people, Mother of the Nation offers an insightful perspective for understanding our nation's racial history and its current social crisis.
Book Synopsis A History of the Nation of Islam by : Dawn-Marie Gibson
Download or read book A History of the Nation of Islam written by Dawn-Marie Gibson and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2012-04-23 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a fascinating, unparalleled look at the Nation of Islam, including its history, the complexity of its views towards orthodox Muslims, women, and other minorities, and the trajectory of the group after the 1995 Million Man March. The release of the Federal Bureau of Investigation's extensive archive of surveillance files, interviews, and firsthand accounts has made it possible to reveal the truth behind the myths and misperceptions about the Nation of Islam. This comprehensive resource catalogues the times, places, and people that shaped the philosophies from its formative years through to its present incarnation. The definitive source on the subject, A History of The Nation of Islam: Race, Islam, and the Quest for Freedom draws on over a dozen interviews, along with archival and rarely-used sources. The book departs from the usual "Malcolm X-centric" treatment of the subject, and instead examines the early leadership of Fard Muhammad, challenges conventional views on Malcolm X, and explores the present day internal politics of the movement post Louis Farrakhan's retirement.
