Imam Warith Deen Mohammed passed away yesterday. http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/chi-090908-mohammed-islam-obit,0,1523688.story. I was never among his followers, but I respect, admire, and am thankful for the work he did in support of Islam. Imam Mohammed and his work have been belittled and denigrated. Both by some followers of the reconstituted Nation of Islam, as well as those African-American Muslims who seek to slavishly imitate the Arabs. Their mockery cannot erase the fact that Imam Mohammed led the largest mass conversion to Sunni Islam ever seen in this country.
My thoughts and prayers go out to his family and all who loved him. May Allah (SWT) grant Imam Mohammed a noble place in Paradise and give comfort to his family.
"To Allah we belong and to Him we shall return."
