WHAT IS ISLAM?

Islam is Peace. It is not a religion but a way of life in which you will be blessed with peace if you submit your will to do the will of Allah (God).

WHY DO WOMEN WEAR LONG GARMETS?

It’s a form of modesty and queenship. It promotes respect towards her mind rather than lust towards her body (Holy Quran Surah 7:26-27). Where there is a naked or half-dressed woman, there is a lack of civilization. The condition of the man does not determine a civilized society; it is the woman’s condition. And a Nation can rise no higher than its woman.

DO THE WOMEN OF THE N.O.I. WEAR VEIL?

No. The veil is not required by Allah (God) in the Holy Quran for women. We recognize the veil as a cultural attire.

WHAT IS A MUSLIM?

A Muslim is one who practices Islam. In other words, one who submits his will to do the will of Allah (God).

ARE THE WOMEN IN THE N.O.I. REQUIRED TO WALK 10 PACES BEHIND THE MAN?

No. They are inspired to walk beside the man. We work as a team for the resurrection and liberation of our people. Women in the N.O.I. are held in the highest esteem, encouraged to increase their education, and inspired to be the best Muslim they can be.

DO THE MUSLIMS BELIEVE IN JESUS?

Yes. Muslims believe in Jesus so much that we strive to be as obedient to Allah (God) as he was. Muslims pray to the Father…Allah (God), as Jesus did and instructed all to do (Matthew 6:9-13).

ARE THE MEN IN THE N.O.I. PERMITTED TO ABUSE OR OPPRESS WOMEN?

No, They Are Not. The women are to be Respected and Protected.

ARE THE MEN IN THE N.O.I. PERMITTED TO HAVE MORE THAN ONE WIFE?
