New Nation of Islam

What New Nation of Islam does

The New Nation of Islam is a U.S. non-profit religious and educational organization headquartered at 5306 Redlick Road in Lorman, Mississippi, operating under the registered legal name Muhammad's University of the New Islam. It was founded in 2004 and is led by a single spiritual figure, "The Son of Man," who has taught since 1975 and serves as Leader and Teacher. The organization serves primarily descendants of enslaved Black Americans in the U.S. and a broader Muslim community, with a stated mission of self-governance, economic self-reliance, education, and religious instruction.

Its core offerings are organized around four interlocking products: (1) Muhammad's University of the New Islam, providing kindergarten through collegiate instruction combining standardized curriculum with the Holy Bible, Holy Quran, and U.S. Constitution; (2) WFOI 100.5 FM, an owned radio station broadcasting religious discussions and family-friendly content; (3) the Unity and Rebuilding Fund, a recurring community development program that channels $5/month per household contributions into black contractor employment, home repair, landscaping, scholarships, and business financing; and (4) the Son of Man Speaks magazine archive covering 2010-2023. Outreach is delivered through radio, YouTube live streaming, StreamYard video conferencing, conference calls, and a website with newsletter subscription. Revenue derives entirely from voluntary donations — tithes/offerings and Unity Fund dues — processed through PayPal, GoFundMe, and mail-in to Detroit and Fayette addresses. Shabazz Business Services handles accounting.

The organization employs 5 people, has no commercial products, holds no patents or trademarks, and maintains no presence on major social media platforms (no Facebook, LinkedIn, Instagram, or X). It operates with a community-led go-to-market motion concentrated in the Southeast U.S. with Mississippi as its primary geographic anchor. There are no funding rounds, acquisitions, or external institutional ownership.
