Imam W. Deen Mohammed is the leader of the largest Muslim community in America. He was an Islamic scholar with a keen scriptural knowledge of the Qur'an and the bible and how they relate to our present time. He was an esteemed member of The World Supreme Council of Mosques, The Peace Council, and he was an international president of the World Conference of Religion and Peace.

He succeeded his father in 1975 as the leader of the Nation of Islam with unanimous support of its followers and began its transformation to "Islam proper" as practiced by over 1 billion Muslims worldwide. He operned the Nation of Islam membership up to all races of Muslims and encouraged Muslim Americans to register to vote and become full participants in the politics and economics of America.

The change and growth which has characterized Imam W. Deen Mohammed´s leadership since 1975 has been a progression toward satisfying the essentials of Muslim life and identity, and in the measure required by the authentic sources of the religion of Islam - the Holy Qur´an and the life example of Muhammed the Prophet (the prayers and the peace be on him).

Some notes in Imam W. Deen Mohammed's work:

In 1992 he delivered the Invocation opening the U. S. Senate in Washington, D.C., the first ever given by a Muslim.

He delivered an address on the floor of the Georgia State Legislature - the state of his father´s birth, the first ever given by a Muslim.

On September 11, 2001, Imam Mohammed, in the strongest terms, immediately denounced the Terrorists Attacks on the United States as un-Islamic and evil.

Imam W. Deen Mohammed´s record of service for the promotion of universal human excellence is well documented as he has established direct and genuine dialogue between the leaders of Islam, Christianity, and Judaism.
