Imam Wallace D. Mohammed, son of Elijah Mohammed and known to many as Imam W. Deen Mohammed, is among the most progressive voices for Al-Islam and Peace in the world today. His humanitarian service, clear representation of true Islamic faith and practice, and leadership for the establishment of Muslim life in America are well documented.
He is a tireless laborer for the interests of peace and justice in our world as he has worked for and realized direct and genuine dialog between people of all races and religions. On behalf of his religious community he has been a frequent participant in countless national and international gatherings, meeting with important world leaders for the purpose of improving the global human condition. Among other affiliations, he is an international president of the World Conference of Religion and Peace (WCRP) and a leading member of the Peace Council, the World Supreme Council of Mosques, and the U.S. Presidential Religious Advisory Council.

In February, 1975 upon the passing of his father, the Honorable Elijah Mohammed, Imam Mohammed was unanimously elected the new leader of the Nation of Islam by its leaders and general membership. Through over 25 years of emphasis on the Holy Qur'an, tradition of Mohammed the Prophet, and an inspired strategy reflected in a program of gradual and moderate change designed to correct erroneous religious influences and satisfy the requisites of a truer Islamic identity, he succeeded in transforming the volatile 'Black Muslims' into a progressive society of Muslim Americans. They are estimated to be at least 2.5 million people today.

Outdistancing narrow racial concerns and accusations of neglect of his father's work, Wallace D. Mohammed's leadership continues to build upon this new and solid religious foundation with concrete plans into the next century for the strengthening of families, neighborhoods, and communities.
