Have there ever been white people in the Nation of Islam?

Answer 1

If you are referring to the Lost Found Nation of Islam in the West, under Messenger Elijah Muhammad, then emphatically NO. No white person can be or will ever become allowed to Register into this particular branch of Islam. What might be confusing is that we have some very fair-skinned individuals who are allowed to Register, who come from biracial parentage. They might appear white, but we tend to try to settle on the best part and welcome them.

Even if some white people are allowed to visit the mosque or large events as guests, they are not allowed to complete the oritenation process to recite the Enrollment lessons and join our mosque.

In other sects of Islam, particularly in the East, as well as the more orthodox groups in the West, white people are welcome, as Islam itself (no matter who is practicing it) is a great, brilliant and Divine way of cleaning oneself up.

The Lost and Found Nation in the West has been instructed that the "devil" (the grafted, Caucasian man) must study from 35 to 50 years before he can be called a "Muslim Son", learning and then applying that learning to his life, before he should be allowed among us.

By the way, Islam itself is NOT a religion - it is a way of life. The differences in our belief system don't make us any less Muslim - they just make us as unique as the other groupings of people who live the Islamic way of life. I pray this clears up a few misunderstandings.

Nation Of Islam White People

Answer 3

Let me correct this statement, because a lot of people seem to be misinformed with regards to the stance of the Nation. I am a part of the Nation of Islam (Mosque#75) and we have several guests, (I've seen one Asian, Several whites, and Several Mexicans.) I presume that it takes a certain adherence toward the truth for people to understand. If you notice however, people of all colours attend Saviours Day and other speakings of the Honorable Louis Farrakhan (I've seen a few videos myself.) Many of you are greatly misinformed. It isn't a racist hate group. Yes, some of the things might come off as critical, disrespectful and at times racist, but the minister has used terms like "Cracka" to describe a particular set or group of people, and has even used the word he "*****", to describe a condition of the mind or actions of ignorant black people. What he says might offend the tenderhearted, or the ignorant assholes who are unwilling to gather any information beyond what they are told (as opposed to interpersonal experiences.). But overall. Yes. Black peoples stance on white people are independent from their religious background. Be reasonable, be logical. It is a predominantly black congregation that does accept other ethnic groups. The reason why there are more blacks than white is due to the location of the mosques , which are typically found in black neighborhoods. Particularly areas where they are needed. So they set up camp in places where they can essentially help the people that are down on their luck.

The shoe size limit is size 11 for male and 9 for women ... The group is very segregated so if you're a woman with features larger than that you may want to join islam in arabia where women with large features are praised

Answer 5

I went to the NOI website and clicked on their "history" link: this is the first paragraph.

On July the Fourth, the day of America's Independence celebration, He announced the beginning of His mission which was to restore and to resurrect His lost and found people, who were identified as the original members of the Tribe of Shabazz from the Lost Nation of Asia. The lost people of the original nation of African descent, were captured, exploited, and dehumanized to serve as servitude slaves of America for over three centuries. His mission was to teach the downtrodden and defenseless Black people a thorough Knowledge of God and of themselves, and to put them on the road to Self-Independence with a superior culture and higher civilization than they had previously experienced.

So no, I don't think there have ever been any white people in it, but that's just speculation on my part.

Answer 10

Islam is a religion, not a nation. Many Arabs are Muslim and they are generally white. The color of one's skin is of absolutely no importance in Islam.
