Our Prophet
As the Revealed Word of Allah teach us, Prophets of God are raised from amongst their own people as verified by the following scriptures. Our Prophet and Founder Noble Drew Ali was and is no different. All Prophets of Allah are influenced by their cultural, social, and intellectual environment. One’s life experience provides the backdrop of the soul’s evolution and transformation.
