I know he was Muslim but I heard that he believed he was like Allah (Stagfurallah), which can NEVER be true. Did he try to make his own type of Islamic belief?

I am not talking about the Prophet Muhammad. I am talking about the African American man who founded "the Nation of Islam"
2007-02-25 08:48:45 · update #1
He’s the founder of the Black Muslim Nation (religion). His father was a Baptist preacher
Elijah believed that he was the last great prophet that Allah (W.D. Fard) would send before the end of the world. Here are Elijah Muhammad’s objectives:
“I am doing all I can to make the so-called Negroes see that the white race and their religion (Christianity) are their open enemies, and to prove to them that they will never be anything but the devils' slaves and finally go to hell with them for believing and following them and their kind.”
Elijah Muhammad foolishly claimed that the Bible prophesied of his coming in Deuteronomy 18:18 and Malachi 4:5. Let’s hear what he says about white people:
“The Yakub made devils were really pale white, with really blue eyes; which we think are the ugliest of colors for a human eye. They were called Caucasian.”

NO NO and NO.
Muhammed was just a normal prophet who was the first person to learn Islam and he and his followers spread it throughout the world. He just followed what the Quran said and what Gabriel and God told him to do.
EDIT EDIT EDIT: OMG..I'm so sorry! I misread your question. You meant "Elijah" OHH... 0.o
Elijah Muhammed was in three words: A FAKE MUHAMMED
Yes omg he believed that HE was the last prophet but he was born only about 150 years ago.
He made up his own irrational belief that stated that Muslims had to be African American and only African Americans were good people.
He was kind of like Hitler except he liked African american people, not people with blonde hair and blue eyes. He didn't even think that prophet Muhammed was a true prophet, which is the basis of belief for Muslims. Yet he CALLED HIMSELF A MUSLIM. The irony...
People actually BELIEVED him...so sad.
People are ALL equal, it's not skin color that makes one above another, its the RIGHTEOUSNESS of the person.
Cheers!

Louis Farakkhan is the modern-day chief of the NoI. The NoI replace into based interior the early 1900's by skill of a guy named Wallace F. Mohammed. in a while, Elijah Mohammed grew to alter into the chief of the group, and he, i think of ,replace into seen a prophet, mutually as Wallace replace into supposedly GOD in human sort. The NOI additionally believed that whites have been the devil of this earth. And the whites weren't allowed to connect the NOI... keep in mind, the country of Islam happened in a time whilst blacks weren't so good because of the fact the white Malcolm X additionally joined the NOI, yet later grew to alter into Sunni after he went to Hajj.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elijah_Muhammad
his nations of islam is not really true islam.i still remember one of his follower that say that women able become imam.that statement leads to a friday prayer in church which the imam is a women,remember that? you also might see this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nation_of_Islam#Criticisms
they believe that Allah (God) appeared in the Person of Master W. Fard Muhammad, July, 1930; the long-awaited "Messiah" of the Christians and the "Mahdi" of the Muslims.THAT'S TOTALLY AGAINST TRUE ISLAM TEACHING

A leader of a black supremacist racist group in the USA. Read up on him in wkipedia. Also read up on "Nation of Islam" This type of stuff is only islamic in name. It is more like the underdog version of KKK in black instead of white. It is racist but also a form of rebellion against percieved oppression.

do you mean Prophet Mohamed? no he didn't believe that he was like God because no one will be like God and no one will be God...and it is clear we always say " no God except Allah and Prophet MOHAMED is HIS SLAVE AND MESSENGER " so how come he believed he was like Allah and second if you read Quran Allah always says in his book " No GOD EXCEPT ALLAH" Prophet Mohamed was prophet and messenger

I read your details now but no way, the Prophet can't be Allah so how a human like him say that...don't believe him
