The Nation Of Islam Today

The Nation of Islam was founded in the 1930s under the leadership of Elijah Muhammad and grew with the contribution of Malcolm X. In 1975, after Elijah Muhammad’s death, the Nation of Islam was divided and now consists of several branches across the United States. Currently, many NOI branches are still active, but they have considerably fewer followers. However, this book explored the differences between the two current NOI branches in Texas. This study examined active meetings and weekly sermons of the Nation of Islam Temples in Houston and San Antonio by interviewing the NOI members and observing the meetings.
