Mission Statement

Masjid Muhammad is a nonprofit religious social and educational organization committed to the establishment, continuation, and dissemination of al Islam as taught by Prophet Mohammed (PBUH) 1400 years ago.

We join in worship with more than 1.5 billion Muslims worldwide as a holistic Islamic community whose existence is in accordance with the Quran and the Sunnah of the Prophet Mohammed (PBUH).

The History of Masjid Muhammad

يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلنَّاسُ إِنَّا خَلَقْنَـٰكُم مِّن ذَكَرٍۢ وَأُنثَىٰ وَجَعَلْنَـٰكُمْ شُعُوبًۭا وَقَبَآئِلَ لِتَعَارَفُوٓا۟ ۚ إِنَّ أَكْرَمَكُمْ عِندَ ٱللَّهِ أَتْقَىٰكُمْ ۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ عَلِيمٌ خَبِيرٌۭ ١٣

Oh humanity! Indeed, We created you from a male and a female, and made you into peoples and tribes so that you may get to know one another. Surely the most noble of you in the sight of Allah is the most righteous among you. Allah is truly All-Knowing, All-Aware.

Al- Hujurat 13

Masjid Muhammad started under the teachings of the Nation of Islam (NOI) in 1968. With the death of NOI leader, the Honorable Elijah Muhammad, in 1975, Masjid Muhammad, along with half a million African American Muslims, transitioned to the universally accepted practice of Al-Islam.  

Under its new leader, Imam Warith Deen Muhammad, the national organization was renamed the Community of Al-Islam in the West. Thus, local temples became Masjids, and members began to follow the commands of the Qur’an and conduct of the Sunnah (traditions and model) of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH).

Masjid Muhammad, once located on Jones St., in Jackson, Mississippi, a majority Black city, evolved to become a center for the worship of Allah by all Muslims, regardless of race or national origin. While honoring its uniquely African American roots, our congregation consists of believers from all over the Muslim world who find their homes in Jackson, Mississippi.
