American Society of Muslims was created by who?
American Society of Muslims The American Society of Muslims was a predominantly African-American association of Muslims which was the direct descendent of the original Nation of Islam. It was created by Warith Deen Mohammed after he assumed leadership of the Nation of Islam upon the death of his father Elijah Muhammad. Imam W. Deen Mohammed changed the name of the Nation of Islam to the "World community of Islam in the West" in 1976, and then to the "American Muslim Mission" in 1981 and then to the "American Society of Muslims".
Mufti Muhammad Sadiq Dr. Mufti Muhammad Sadiq was a companion of Mirza Ghulam Ahmad and the first Muslim Missionary in America converted over seven hundred Americans to Islam directly and over thousand indirectly. His purpose, as a representative of the Ahmadiyya Movement in Islam, was to convert Americans to Islam and clear general misconceptions about it. Something that separated Mutfi Muhammad Sadiq from his contemporaries was the belief in Racial integration between all racial and ethnic groups not just African Americans. A large number of Islamic oriented organizations that sprang up among African Americans in the 1920s and 30's such as the Nation of Islam were influenced by Mufti Muhammad Sadiq's teachings and turned toward his understanding of Islamic concepts. He was also important in trying to unite a hodgepodge of Muslim immigrants from Arabs to Bosnians to build mosques and have congregational prayer especially in Detroit and Chicago.
