Answer
The Nation of Islam (NOI) initially aligned itself with the Sunni branch of Islam. This association was primarily driven by the influence of its founder, Wallace Fard Muhammad, who propagated a unique blend of Islamic teachings and black nationalism. The NOI's interpretation of Sunni Islam emphasized the self-empowerment and liberation of African Americans, incorporating elements of racial pride, economic self-sufficiency, and social justice.
