I've got a question

[HageeFan]

What's the difference between traditional muslims and black muslims(like the Nation of Islam organization).

Namaste hagee,

well... black Muslims can be of any particular sect of Islam, Sunni, Shi'a or Sufi... not to mention the various jurisprudence schools that are located under these umbrella terms.

Nation of Islam is not Islam, even though they call themselves Muslims and such.

there are a variety of reasons that this is so, however, the most telling on, in my view, is that Elijah Muhammad is considered to be a prophet of Allah. as any being that has studied Islam knows, the Prophet Muhammad was the "seal of the prophets" meaning that there would be no more after him.

The BMs were started as a "hate white Christians" movement and are not accepted by "real" Muslims.
