Elijah Muhammad's Prophets: From the White Adam to the Black Jesuses

Elijah Muhammad, the leader of the Nation of Islam from the mid-1930s until 1975, wrote extensively about Adam, Moses, and Jesus. His qiṣaṣ al-anbiyāʾ bear little resemblance to the older accounts in the Qurʾān and the Bible or to the traditional qiṣaṣ al-anbiyāʾ material. His focus was his racialist mythology into which he placed appropriate racialized versions of Adam, Moses, and Jesus. Although seemingly at odds with biblical and qurʾānic accounts, he constantly cited and alluded to these texts in order to support his novel understanding of them. In so doing, Elijah Muhammad created a modern, nontraditional, and wholly new and independent branch within the genre of qiṣaṣ al-anbiyāʾ aimed at mid-twentieth century African Americans.
