Is this what NOI teaches?
O_o There is an explanation for all of this and I will attempt to clarify it. The confusion is partly cause by the unusual terminology of the Nation. If we translate some central concepts into more conventional Muslim ones, we will find that the creed stands in more harmony with Islam, especially with its Ismailiyya and Sufi varieties. The Nation teaches that God is no mystery God but a black man who came in the Person of Master Farrad Muhammad. He is said to have been born to a black father, Alphonse Shabazz, whom he called God, and a white mother. This God, Master Farrad Muhammad, is described as the Wisest God of all Gods. He is not identical with the Supreme God Who was in the Beginning and who created the world together with a closed circle of Gods or Scientists. These Gods are long since gone as the N.O.I. teaches that there is no God now living who was in the Beginning. In addition to all this, the Nation teaches that the Original Black man is by nature divine and that the white man is a race of devils created by an evil scientist, or God, named Mr. Yakub, in a temporarily successful effort to install an evil viceregent on earth. The Original Man lost world hegemony tot he race of evil and was put to sleep, a euphemism for the unawareness of their true divine identity. The devils enslaved a number of the Original People and used them as slaves here in North America. Deprived of their true identity, they looked upon themselves as ignorant Negroes at the bottom of society until God came to Detroit in 1930. God raised one among them in divine wisdom to become His messenger, Elijah Muhammad. Working in this profession, the Messenger was in 1975 exalted as the Messiah, the living Christ whose imminent return is expected. Upon departing, Elijah Muhammad entrusted the leadership of the divine nation to Minister Louis Farrakhan. Today, Farrakhan is standing at the tomb of Lazarus, that is the black man, and calling him back to life. Master Farrad Muhammad thus raised Elijah Muhammad who raised Louis Farrakhan who is now raising the black community into divinity. The time of resurrection is approaching when the regime of evil will fall and the era of the divine black man will commence and thus usher in a period of divine justice, freedom and equality, that is Islam.
