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.

These include:

• Moorish Science Temple of America
• Nation of Islam
• United Nation of Islam
• Five-Percent Nation
• Nuwaubian Nation
• American Society of Muslims

In a more general sense it can describe,

• Islam in Africa
• Islam in the African diaspora
• Islam in the United States
