Can any body please explain to me what is difference between Islam & ‘Nation of Islam’ ?
Can we call them muslims or not ?

Re: Difference ?
NOI believes in Elijah Mohammad, a 20th century American as their prophet. Islam is a religion based on scripture revealed to the prophet Mohammad, an Arab in 6th century.

Asalaam’alaikum
From what i was told when i debated to them is that they believe that black people are the original Muslims and Humans and some even go onto say that Allaah Himself is Black (pure Kufr) and they have also called Allaah(swt) a Man(again pure kufr). The scholars have agreed that we cannot call them Muslims because of the aqeedah they are upon. it contradicts the Qur’aan and sunnah!
if you would like to know more about em then check out their website http://www.noi.org/
Muhammad Ali left nation of “islam” as did Malcom X after realising the kufr they speak.
what i found funny was that they always attack the “white devil” but the leader of the Nation was ready to call himself Bush’s “Servant in the war against evil,” (letter he wrote to Bush in 2001)
Re: Difference ?
Thanks a lot. I found a good link @ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nation_of_Islam.
After reading this i personally feel that they are not on true islam.
If some one has some more info. then do share.
