Accomplishments of the Muslims
A Bank For the Blackman
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.

The Muslim followers of the Honorable Elijah Muhammad, from coast to
coast and from border to border, have pledged to raise more than $1
million within the next 90 days in order to pay the complete coast of
purchasing a Lockheed Jet Star Executive jet aircraft for the use of Mr.
Muhammad, the Last and Greatest Messenger of Allah.
The aircraft, the most reliable executive jet manufactured, has four
Pratt-Whitney engines for maximum safety, while cruising at speeds up to
570 miles per hour. The fully pressurized and air-conditioned jet will
carry 10 passengers and crew in all the speed and comfort of the most
modern 707 and 727 commercial jet airliners.
The Muslim jet, which has a full-sized galley for comfort, and
double and triple back-up avionics systems for safety, is equipped with
air to ground telephone, and is the same aircraft

used in the United States Presidential jet fleet and by many other top
leaders in finance, commerce, government and letters. We the Muslims
thank Almighty God Allah, who came in the Person of Master Fard Muhammad,
to Whom Praises are due forever, for Blessing us with a leader deserving
of such dignified status among men; and we thank Him for Blessing us with
the desire and ability to help Messenger Muhammad acquire this
transcontinental private jet plane for His comfort and convenience in
leading and elevating us.
