Islam IS NOT the same as NOI

Interesting that you are traveling to Africa as a missionary. I would be surprised if you come across any Muslims who believe in the NOI - the movement was founded in Detroit, Michigan in 1930 by Wallace Fard Muhammad. The Nation Of Islam teaches that W. Fard Muhammad is both the "messiah" of Christianity and the "Madhi (guided one) of Islam". One of Fard's first disciples was Elijah Muhammad (1897-1975) who led the organization from 1935 through 1975.

The vast majority of world-wide Muslims DO NOT agree with the NOI and it's teachings - the NOI redifines "Allah" by saying "Allah" appeared in the Person of Master W. Fard Muhammad, July, 1930, and that Fard was/is the long-awaited "messiah" of BOTH Christians and the Muslims.

Traditional Sunni and Shi'a Muslim doctrine states that it is heretical and blasphemous to believe that "Allah" would manifest Himself in ANY form, let alone human.

Likening any individual to "Allah" is a form of "shirk", or major sin, in Islam. Mainstream Islam teaches that Muhammad was the last messenger, between the years 610 and 632 A.D. The NOI believes Elijah Muhammad was ALSO a messenger, and that Allah "appeared" in W.D. Fard.

Good luck in Africa - remember, "For by grace you are saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, and not of works, lest any man should boast" (Ephesians 2:8-9) "Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you shall be saved." (Acts 16:31).

A bit about Islam - the only guarenteed way to Paradise is by killing the unbeliever in "jihad". Qur'an 9.111. - this promise is "binding" on Allah.

The Five Pillars, pilgrimage to Mecca, praying five times a day, etc. are a "maybe yes maybe no" with regards to Paradise.
