    Allow me to add my 2 cents to help clarify some things that will make visiting Mosque Maryam a…read morebetter experience than I have been reading about in some of the reviews.... Allow me to inform you that The Nation of Islam is NOT a regular Muslim/Islam Organization. It was designed specifically for the Black Americans who descended from slavery in North America . It specifically addresses the issues of PTSD (Post-Traumatic Slave Disorder) due to 400 years of Slavery abuse, and continued social injustice in America. There is virtually nothing in the Original Nation of Islam teachings that is in line with the usual Middle Eastern Islamic Teachings. The disciplines taught even down to the diet are different. For example: Middle eastern Muslims smoke.. Nation of Islam members are not allowed to indulge in any intoxicants, whatsoever, including tobacco. Another example is in usual Islam a man can take up to four wives. However, Members of The Nation of Islam cannot marry more than one woman. Also, Members of the Nation of Islam are also forbidden to carry guns. Even the dress code is unique and members of the Nation of Islam can usually be identified by their uniforms, which include a Bow Tie for men and specific Headpieces for the women.

    A beautiful mosque filled with beautiful BLACK & Brown…read morepeople. Dedicated to the advancement of the so called negros in the wilderness of North America. Came here on a Sunday & heard a beautiful message. To my orthodox Muslims, don't speak I'll of then NOI when no Arab ever came to teach the black former slave Islam. Some of you all didn't even consider us to be "real" Muslims. Allah is the best knower. Peace
