Heroes of Al-Islaam (Islam) in America Book 3: Understanding the works and mission of The Honorable Elijah Muhammad (AL Hajj Abdul Karim Ilyas Muhammad)

Book excerpt: This pamphlet or booklet is a humble attempt by the author to shine the light of Al-Islaam, the Holy Qur'an and the language of Imaam W. Deen Mohammed on the teachings and lessons of Mr. Elijah Muhammad. In this book, I use the spelling Imaam for Imam, Islaam for Islam because I believe it gives the novice a better sense of how the words should be pronounced. In this booklet I use the name Abdul Wali Farad Muhammad Ali for Wallace Fard Muhammad in many instances. The closes Arabic equivalent for Wallace would probably be Wali. We also use the nickname given to Mr. Fard by Imam W. Deen Mohammed, W. D. Forty. We use the Arabic equivalent of Elijah Muhammad's name Abdul Karim Ilyas Muhammad in many parts of this book to emphasize that he and his teacher Mr. Fard wanted us to reclaim our holy names.
