  • World Community of al-Islam in the West

  • The Islamic Community of the West

Answer

After the death of Elijah Muhammad, the Nation of Islam was renamed the World Community of al-Islam in the West. This name change was made in an effort to distance the group from the controversial teachings of Elijah Muhammad, who had been accused of racism and anti-Semitism. The new name was also intended to reflect the group's growing international membership and its commitment to peaceful coexistence with other faiths.
