The Nation of Islam is a Muslim group

The Nation of Islam is a Muslim group.

Islam and the so called  “Nation of Islam'” are two different religions.  NOI is more of a political organization since its members are not limited to a single faith. Muslims consider this group to be just one of many cults using the name of Islam for their own gain. 
The only thing  common between them is the jargon, the language used by both. “The Nation of Islam” is a misnomer; this religion should be called Farrakhanism, after the name of its propogator, Louis Farrakhan. 

Islam and Farakhanism differ in many fundamental ways. For example, Farakhan followers  believe in racism and that the ‘black man’ was the original man and therefore superior, while in  Islam there is no racism and everyone is considered equal in the sight of God, the only
difference  being in one’s piety. There are many other theological examples that show the ‘Nation’s teachings  have little to do with true Islam.    There are many groups in America who claim to represent Islam and call their adherents  Muslims.  

Any serious student of Islam has a duty to investigate  and find the true Islam. The only two authentic sources which bind every Muslim are 1. the Quran and 2. authentic or sound Hadith. Any teachings under the label of “Islam” which contradict or at variance with the direct understanding of fundamental beliefs and practices of Islam form the Quran and authentic Hadith should be rejected and such a religion should be considered a Pseudo-Islamic Cult.

In America, there are many pseudo-Islamic cults, Farrakhanism being one of them. An honest attitude on the  part of such cults should be not to call themselves Muslims and their religion Islam. such an  example of honesty is Bahaism which is an off-shoot of Islam but Bahais do not call themselves  Muslims nor their religion, Islam. In fact Bahaism is not Islam just as Farrakhanism is not Islam.
