Black Muslims

Black Muslims may describe any black people who are Muslim, but historically it has been specifically used to refer to African-American Black nationalist organizations that describe themselves as Muslim. Some of these groups are not considered to be Muslim within mainstream Islam.

  • United Nation of Islam
  • Five-Percent Nation
  • Nuwaubian Nation
  • American Society of Muslims

  • Islam in the United States
