Intro
Fanusie tells us, that in a 1987 article, Ansari pointed to an Ahmadiyya background and identity for Fard. Ansari adopted the argument of Imam Wallace Mohammed who had identified Fard as Muhammad Abdullah, an Ahmadiyya missionary in the Fiji Islands. Ansari did not engage in substantial research to support Imam Wallace Mohammed’s narrative of Fard and the Nation of Islam, and it took a decade for another scholar to address these issues raised by Ansari. When Richard Brent Turner interviewed Muhammad Abdullah during the late 1980s, Abdullah dismissed Z. I. Ansari’s identification of him as Fard. (See Z.I. Ansari, “The Religious Doctrines of the Black Muslims in America, 1930-1980,” Journal of Muslim Minority Affairs 2
and 3 (Winter 1980- Summer 1981): 199-210).
