Abdul’Malik Muhammad aka “Chief! Maligu-NAA”

Brother Abdul’Malik Muhammad’s story is a turnaround carved under pressure. Once facing a life sentence, he rebuilt his life behind prison walls—guided by the teachings of Bishop T.D. Jakes and the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan—then came home with a new code.He became a real estate entrepreneur, but his real work showed up in the margins: mentoring young men, supporting the homeless, and helping the formerly incarcerated regain structure and dignity. In the Nation of Islam, he earned the honor “The Top Fisherman”—filling buses and bringing thousands to Mosque Maryam and mosques across the country—so much so that Minister Farrakhan said, “…he’s about the BEST fisherman I’ve ever seen!” From December 23, 2018 to February 1, 2019, he completed a 41-day fast—a reset that hardened his discipline and clarified the assignment. Then on October 24, 2019, he began fasting three days a week, every weekend, and that steady regimen pushed him into sharing the power of prayer and fasting with others across the U.S. and abroad. By July 2020, at the height of the pandemic, that work became consistent and organized through Prayer and Fasting: The Foundation to Success, now reaching people worldwide.

In 2024, his service was crowned in Ghana with chieftaincy titles, where he is known as Chief! Maligu-Naa—leading clean water projects, building two mosques, gifting a home for the local imam, providing school uniforms, and sponsoring annual Eid feasts for over five years. As invited, honored guests, he returned to Ghana twice in eleven months between 2024 and 2025—bringing a delegation of 22 members in 2024 and 23 delegates in 2025.

Son of Man

Leader & Teacher of the New Nation of Islam

The Son of Man, leader and teacher of the New Nation of Islam, was born November 26, 1950 in Leland, Mississippi. His parents were sharecroppers. They moved to California when he was about 3 and 1/2 years old, and he grew up in Los Angeles, California.

In 1973, the Son of Man visited Muhammad’s Temple where he heard and accepted the teachings of the Honorable Elijah Muhammad. He attended Temple #27 in Los Angeles, California. After the Honorable Elijah Muhammad passed in 1975, the Son of Man realized, thanks to the teachings of the Honorable Elijah Muhammad, that he is the Son of Man whom that teaching was designed to raise from a dead level to a living perpendicular. He began teaching in 1975 and later moved to Mississippi, where he established the foundation for what has now become an up and coming business district in southwest Mississippi.

The Son of Man, with the help of the brothers and sisters (followers) with him, has already laid the foundation for what could be a marvelous beacon of inspiration for black communities throughout the United States, and then the world. He has invested a great deal of time and money in establishing state of the art facilities, and acquiring land to continue the building of this new nation. He has demonstrated sincerity and an unwavering commitment to seeing us truly independent by putting into action what he teaches. The Son of Man is teaching his people to awake to righteousness, come together as a new black nation, and to do for self.

He is now ready to first show our people, and then the human family as a whole, what we are capable of accomplishing if we truly come together in unity and righteousness. This directive will finally bridge the gap between religion and business, thus enabling us to realize significant progress as a people and become a model for the world. This is the one component that has been missing in our communities; a truly divine, enlightening and uncompromising voice to both uplift our people mentally and provide tangible works that gives us a solid foundation physically.

Everything from establishing a school over 30 years ago and proving that a school is really nothing but a mind enlightening atmosphere, to sacrificing his own personal comforts and taking a “freedom now” attitude, the Son of Man has certainly stirred hope in the hearts of children and adults alike. When the statement of “Now or Never” is spoken, it is undeniably clear that the Son of Man has taken action NOW.
