Author: Nobel Prophet Drew Ali 

 

Drew Ali moved his organization several times and ultimately settled in the mid-1920s in Chicago, where he found success. He died under mysterious circumstances during a period of internal strife, and the Moorish Science Temple of America split into several factions. The Nation of Islam grew out of the contested succession to Drew Ali and became a separate organization in Detroit in 1932. Several men claimed to carry on the spiritual lineage of Noble Drew Ali and founded similar organizations. In the early 21st century the largest of those—the Moorish Science Temple of America, Inc.—operated a prison ministry and a theological seminary, the University of the Moorish Science Temple of America.
