Considering all the Facts this is actually a legit question. Many Muslims would argue that he was anout a Muslim as Larry Fynt is a Christian, by his demeanor, behavior, actions, and antics out of the ring. But where this questions strikes a chords the fundamental differences between the racist Nation of Islam that Ali was apart and Islam itself. Many people who do not have any true knowledge of Islam or the Nation of Islam often times put the two together, however, many people will be surprised to know that these have more differences than they do similarities. When people see the Nation of Islam, they immediately associate the late Malcolm X and the former NOI leader Louis Farrakhan with the organization. They identify Black Muslims as being apart of this organization, when in fact many Black Muslims follow the true religion of Islam and have no association with the organization. Many Muslims denounce the teachings of the Nation of Islam and consider them to be false teachings of the religion. In an article titled The Nation of Islam Exposed A. I. Palmer states that the NOI is a black racist cult. He defends true Islam by saying that the followers of the Nation of Islam are not Muslims because they do not follow the true teachings of the religion of Islam. The religion of Islam is the acceptance of and the obedience to the teachings of God, which he revealed to His last prophet, Muhammad (peace be upon him). Allah is the Arabic word that means God (the one true God who created the whole universe). The word Muslim means the one who submits to the will of God. Muslims believe that only Allah is the one worthy of worship alone without any partners. Muhammad PBUH is the last prophet of Islam. He was born in Mecca in the year 570 AD. When Muhammad PBUH was 40 years old, the angel Gabriel came to him with revelations from Allah. The revelations continued for 23 years, and they are known as the Quran. The Prophet Muhammad PBUH was a perfect example to mankind because he was an honest, just, merciful, compassionate, truthful, and brave human being. Muhammad PBUH is the last prophet of Allah, Jesus peace be upon him, preceded Muhammad PBUH. Some of the Muslims basic beliefs include a belief in the One True God, Allah; belief in Allahs angels, His books (Torah and Bible), His prophets (Adam, Noah, Moses, Abraham, Issac, Jacob, Joseph, Jesus, and Muhammad (peace be upon them). Muslims also believe in the Day of Judgement, and Divine Predestination (freewill).
