The Evolution Of The Nation Of Islam: The Story Of The Honorable Elijah Muhammad is a compelling and informative biography written by the grandson of the famous, charismatic, founder and leader of the Nation of Islam, the well-known African-American religious movement. Presenting an up-close and very personal view by the family of Elijah Muhammad's strengths and foibles, The Evolution Of The Nation Of Islam offers a vivid and memorable picture of this controversial and influential twentieth century African-American religious figure.

I read Mr. Muhammad-Ali's book with fascination and illumination. The book provides many insights into the thought and personality of the Honorable Elijah Muhammad. What Muhammad-Ali offers as a grandson is the kind of first-hand experience that no amount of scholarly investigation could otherwise provide. Judging by the plates in the book, it appears that Muhammad-Ali is an accomplished artist. This is required reading for anyone who is interested in the Nation of Islam.

I've been looking forward to this book project for sometime. The author put a lot of historical information about how the United States were allies with Saudi Arabia since the 1930s, and how Elijah Muhammad wanted blacks to work hard, and depend on themselves. This book is very inspiring. It's sad that there are factions of Muslims who are not living in positive ways these days, but for the most part we find very smart,peace-loving and God-respecting neighbors.

I recommend this book for the historical info and that it's presented in an easy read.

How can someone profess to be the torch bearer of the believe system which he himself oppose in letter and spirit. We all know that Elijah Muhammad was not advocating to crush the root cause of disease but that of sympton. Islam is a religion of peace it does deamonise a person because of his colour. Rather it is the other way round. Western civilization does have all the signs of decay but the root cause is not the inherent evil nature of its people rather their acts which have made them follow the wrong path. Allah Himself have said repeated in Quran that those who repent will be blessed with his mercy. To understand true Islam one should read Quran the actual and true source of all the knowledge. A book which showed the right path to people like Malcolm X!
