In 1930, an enigmatic figure
appeared in Detroit, Michigan. C.
Eric Lincoln, in his study of the
Nation of Islam called Black
Muslims in America, says of The
Stranger in Detroit:
Sometime in the midsummer of
Mohammed, founder of
classical Islam. Others say
that he was on a diplomatic
career in the service of the
kingdom of Hejaz, but that he
sacrificed his personal future
to bring freedom, justice, and
equality to the black men in
the wilderness of North
America, surrounded and
robbed completely by the

2. The Twenty
Four Scientists
The Honorable Elijah
Muhammad taught that Allah was a
Man. He presided over a Divine
Council which consisted of twentythree other Black Men who are gods
like Him but of a lesser degree. The
twenty-four of them make up a
Secret Order, the most secret of all
Secret Orders. They are variously
remains forever.3
These twenty-four men, who are
gods, are the wisest Black Men
anywhere on earth. They represent
every tribe and color of the Nation
of Islam. The inner circle of Twelve
is reputed to be the real power
behind the universe. They hold
within their circle all knowledge
and they pass their wisdom down
from Father to Son. The language of
these men is Arabic and their way
of life is Islam. Collectively, they

2.1. God, In
Person
Around the year 13, 086 BC
(over 15,000 years ago), according
to NOI tradition, the Gods would
have convened at the Holy City
Mecca. A new Judge would have
been chosen whose wisdom-rule
would last 25,000 years until
around the year AD 11, 914 (or
there about, around 10,000 years
substance.
This covenant was never fulfilled
by any white Jews in bondage in
Egypt 4,000 years ago. The Jews
themselves told Jesus that they were
never in bondage to any man (John
8:33). Who fulfills that prophecy of
being in bondage in a foreign land
for 400 years? It is certainly the
Black Man and Woman who were
brought from Africa (in the East) to
America (in the West). In Isaiah
43:5 God says of this people:
dominion is an everlasting
dominion which shall not pass
away, and his kingdom one
that shall not be destroyed.
(7:13-14)
The Ancient of Days represents
Allah The Original Man, who is
God, the Ancient of Days; The
originator of the Heavens and Earth.
The Son of Man is God Who Comes
in the Last Days; he is the New
Ruler. His Kingdom will last
forever. Borsch, in Son of Man in

Sometime around 1874, the Gods
located the Lost Sheep here in
America. They then began preparing
that one that would be sent to
retrieve this sheep lost in America.
This one had to have a certain body
and body-type. One of the Gods on
the Council was Fards Father who
has come to be known in NOI
tradition as Alphonso. Alphonso
was a wealthy Koreish Arab, the
tribe in which Prophet Muhammad
(12:1):
And I saw a great wonder in
heaven, a woman clothed with
the sun, and the moon under
her feet and upon her head a
crown of twelve stars.
This lady was a wonder in heaven
(Mecca) because she wasnt from
heaven yet she gave birth to a child
of heaven to be sent out of heaven.

History
W.D. Fard arrived in America in
1910, entering through New York
City. Upon His arrival, Master
Fard Muhammad literally sat on a
curb and cried when he saw the
condition of His fathers people.7
Fard made his way to California
where he enrolled at the University
of Southern California.8 While

Displaying a mug shot of Wallace
Dodd Ford and listing various
convictions in California,
Montgomery goes on to mention that
Dodd had a son by a common-law
wife in California who, upon
learning of Dodds activities in the
Black communities of Detroit and
Chicago, changed the boys name
from Wallace Dodd Ford (Jr.) to
Wallace Max Ford in order to
conceal any relation. Montgomery
concludes:
According to his former
common-law wife, Dodd went
from (Detroit) to Chicago and
became a traveling salesman
for a mail order tailor.
Working his way through the
Midwest, Dodd arrived in Los
Angels in the spring of 1934

boarded a ship for New

After the infamous documentary

It is thus inappropriate to seize
these early characterizations of
Fard as prophet as the final word.
The author of this characterization,
the Hon. Elijah Muhammad, admits
to only trying it out as he was
searching for the right terminology.
When Master Fard Muhammad and
his secretary Ugan Ali first visited
Elijah at his home in the fall of
1931, according to the Hon. Elijah
Muhammad, (Fard) said that he

five days, that he was the Supreme
