From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

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

These include:

• Nation of Islam
• Moorish Science Temple of America
• American Society of Muslims
• United Nation of Islam
• The Nation of Gods and Earths
• Nuwaubianism

In a more general sense it can describe,

• Islam in the African diaspora
• African American Muslims
