In January,
1973, Allah, though his Messenger, the Honorable Elijah Muhammad, blessed
the Black man and woman in America with a desperately needed Bank where
we could deposit and safeguard our hard earned money.
For several years prior, The Messenger had provided a very successful National Savings Plan for his followers and other progressive minded Black people.
The tremendous success of this Program led the way from more expansive and comprehensive Banking services to be offered by the Nation of Islam.
The Muslim Bank was a full-service institution which fully conformed to all U.S. governmental regulations required for financial institutions. Oscar S. Williams, a Black 35-year-old father of two, was appointed president of the Nation of Islam's newly owned bank, which stood along side the other Business Enterprises of the Nation of Islam as manifest proof of the Power of Allah and His Messenger to make "something out of nothing".
Before the eyes of the entire world, Messenger Elijah Muhammad developed the Muslims of North America into a Nation which gained international recognition and respect due to its success.
Farms, homes and businesses sprung up throughout America and elsewhere as Proof of the Power and wisdom of the God of the Blackman.
