SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
This study reviewed the Texas-based Nation of Islam's (NOI) current structure. Specifically, this thesis examined the differences between the two current NOI branches in Texas. The Nation of Islam was founded in the 1930s under the leadership of Elijah Muhammad and grew with the contribution of Malcolm X. However, in 1975, after Elijah Muhammad's death, his son, Warith Deen (W. D.) Muhammad, assumed the position of leader of the NOI. W. D. Muhammad and most of his many followers converted to an orthodox version of Islam and transformed the NOI into the American Muslim Mission. However, some NOI followers did not accept this change in doctrine because they wanted to follow the original NOI mission of Elijah Muhammad. Therefore, the Nation of Islam divided at the end of the 1970s and now consists of several branches across the United States. Currently, many NOI branches are still active, but they have considerably fewer followers. My research only focused on two Texas-based branches of the NOI. This thesis examined the current meetings and weekly sermons in the Nation of Islam Temples in Houston and San Antonio by interviewing the NOI members and observing the meetings.
