Intro
In July-2025, Dr. John Andrew Morrow (Author) and Bilal Muhammad (Author) published a new book on Wallace Farad, “W. D. Fard: The Man, Mystery, and Myth Behind the Nation of Islam”.
This book is based on newspaper reports, new info from Batey, Burnsteen, Wakeel Allah, videos by John Muhammad, info from Karl Evanzz and many others.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________
20 refined questions
1. How has access to newspapers and new tell all books changing the narrative on Fard? Burnsteen, Wakeel Allah and Batey? Why was Fred Dodd seeking attention? Wallie Ford too! Why? Agents? Why would a drug dealer seek attention? Was the con up when photo’s of Fard surfaced in 2 newspapers? Did Fanusie see these photo’s? Isn’t this the single (2) biggest piece of info?
2. Were the FBI reports accurate? Which iteration? Was Fard a Polynesian aka New Zealander? Ford Island? Zared Ford and the bottling company? In 1959, a New Chicago Crusader article claimed that Fard was “a Turkish-born Nazi agent [who] worked for Hitler in World War II” based on an FBI dossier. Explain the first few iterations.
3. I thought you had a better ref for Fard claiming to be the Mahdi for the Muslims and the Messiah for the Christians? You have Hatim, 1950’s? What about the Final call of 1934–38? This nomenclature is not mentioned in Burnsteen or Beynon. How is research going into the archives of the Final Call? 1934? Moorish Guide? UNIA newspapers? I didn’t see much from Fard in 1930-1934 to connect him to any Ahmadiyya beliefs. Not even Jesus in India theory.
4. JW’s proves that Fard was not an Ahmadi at all. He was using anything he found. If the JW’s were allowed to run a scam and mormons and 7th day adventists, then why not Fard? Bahai’s too! Christianity painted black. Fard was a drug dealer turned religious scammer? Isn’t this common? Morrow also mentioned that ALL organized religions are a scam (see page 242, Morrow and Bilal). Explain…in Islam, is religion a non-profit for state controlled? What is better?
5. Les Payne, Fard was an ahmadi? Fanusie and her dissertation? According to Les Payne, “Fard reportedly described himself to Elijah as a member of the ‘Ahmadiyya,’ a religious sect founded in the late nineteenth century in India.” See: Les Payne, The Dead Are Arising: The Life of Malcolm X (New York: Liveright Publishing, 2020) 253. The late author failed to source this claim. There is no evidence to date that W.D. Fard was an Ahmadi missionary who went rogue. Did Payne see the photo’s from 1932? Why was this book published so late?
6. The 2 famous photo’s from the newspaper were lost, Turner didn’t quote it or even see the photo’s. Fanusie didn’t see the photo?
7. In 1942, Elijah Muhammad was indicted for his sympathies with Japan. Japan went on to lose the war? That’s not true. The newspaper state draft dodging. Malcolm too, JW’s too.
8. Only one meal a day? No prayers at all, mythology. Fard didn’t sleep? What drugs are those? What kind of myths are these?
9. Fard’s accent and babies that aren’t his. White women and indulging.
10. Why was WD Muhammad convinced that Fard was a white man? Many videos. He knew that his father was a scammer? Why else did he make drastic business decisions? Is freedom of religion wrong? Many videos on this, he differered.
11. “Mukhmud”? Didn’t Elijah Mohammed use this alias too. Why did Fard refer to potential converts as “smellers”? John Muhammad and the “Quwan”? EM and others didn’t even care to learn Islam. No prayers, no ramadhan, nothing.
12. In the USA, Islam was represented from the Shia-Arab (from Syria), however, literature in English on Islam was dominated by desi authors who used Urdu, hence, it reflects in Fard’s choice of words. Ahmadiyya literature was allowed free reign in all British colonies, even West Africa. Marcus Garvey and the Ahmadi teachings. Even the MST and Noble Drew Ali took the Jesus in India theory, however, Fard didn’t. Could it also be the English language newspapers from the Lahori and Qadiani groups which influenced names?
13. Did you search up 504 Woodside Ave, Ferndale? I wasn’t able to find anything, I havent been able to figure out how to search addresses. Was the name taken by Elijah’s dad or brother? 1942. In Apr-1934 (See Detroit Free Press, 1934, Apr–19, Page 1), Wali Mohammed, aged 33 (is this Willie Poole Jr.?), from 504 Woodside Ave, Ferndale was arrested as part of the disturbance created by cult. He was not mentioned as “white”. In Aug-1934, Wali Mohammed wrote an essay about the “The Educational Department of Islam” by Prophet Fard. It is not mentioned that Wali Mohammed is white and blue eyed. A Wali Mohammed and Shaikh Wali Dod are also mentioned in Jan-1934, via the Cleveland Call and Post (of Sat, Jan 20, 1934 ·Page 4) report that the people of the Cleveland “Head Mosque” were surprised by a lecture from Wali Mohammed aka the medicine man, Maulvi Muhammad Yusuf Khan also spoke. A photo of Mirza Ghulam Ahmad was given in the newspaper, Tuesday night, 7pm. The same newspaper mentions the news of the “Mother Mosque” as well, and how a man named Shaikh Wali Dod gave a speech and was referred to as God. This appeared on the “Religion” page of the newspaper and was a daily or bi-daily publication and MGA’s face appeared many times. News from the Dayton Mosque via Sheikh Nazeer Elahi is also given, this is the Ahmadiyya mission, Dr. M.Y. Khan is listed as the missionary. However, simultaneously, Dr. M.Y. Khan is teaching the other 2 groups of Muslims, one by Brother Abdullah Farook. The other by Omar Mohammed who had recently returned, they both seem to be connected to Dr. M.Y. Khan and Brother Abdullah Farook. Sheikh Nazeer Elahi gave a speech on “The Life of Mohammed”. The Mosque has recently moved to 216 Euclid Ave. Interestingly, the Cleveland Mosque, which is ran by Sheikh Nasir Ahmed is mentioned and money was being collected for the travel expenses ($2) of the Ahmadiyya missionary, Dr. M.Y. Khan, who will allegedly represent them to the East. The Colombus Mosque by Rasheed Hosas is also mentioned, the rope of Allah is discussed.
In 1941-1942, via FBI reports (See 72/126), Wali Mohammed is in-charge of the Detroit Temple and went to Washington D.C. to check up on the arrest of Elijah Mohammed. On Tuesday, May-19-1942 (Page 9)(See scan in the below), The Evening Star (of Washington D.C.) newspaper reported that Sultan Muhammad is named as a worker of Elijah Mohammed in Milwaukee. Willie Mohammed was also arrested, this seems to be a typo, Willie Mohammed is listed as 50 years old, it could also be Wali Mohammed.
14. Why did the school keep running after 1932?
15. Why is 1931 missing? 1930 too. No info on Farad. Even Elijah Mohammed converted in roughly 1932. There is also an indication that the location at Hastings was newly rented in Oct-1932. Where was the money coming from for all of this? Who funded Fard? At 24:16, Dr. Morrow alleges that Fard was in Chicago prior to his arrest in Detroit in 1932 and was using the name William D. Fard. Dr. Morrow says that William D. Fard was alleging to be from Oregon and his father was a Mexican from Argentina and his mother was from Oregon. 1930 census?
16. The car, only in 1933, after Farad was on the run. Is that enough money to buy a car? How much did cars cost in 1933? Are all of Burnsteen’s memories from Oct-1932, i.e., the picnics and car rides? When did Burnsteen ride in the car? Oct-1932? It cant be after.
17. The parents of Burnsteen went missing after 1934 (her mom was in 1934)? Her father was an employee of Farad or a laborer? Was Burnsteen also an employee? Why didn’t she marry until Fard was long gone? Was she out of Highschool in 1932 and seeking employment? But there were no jobs available. Why didn’t Burnsteen mentioned the huge arrest of Nov-1932 and May-1933? And 1934? Why did Burnsteen mention Ugan Ali in 1933? He should have been long gone. Gifts? The letter dated as Apr-13-1934 is uneventful, robotic and indicative of transactional relationship. What happened to the car? The letter dated as May-23-1934 is even less voracious, which is strange because on Apr-19-1934 there was a huge arrest, why wasn’t this mentioned? In 1934 (See Detroit Free Press, 1934, Apr–19, Page 1), Burnsteen Sharrief was mentioned in the newspaper as one of the Negro’s that were arrested, she is listed as 17 years old and living 2301 Erskine St, Detroit, MI. It seems that her brother is also mentioned as among the arrested, David Sharrief, also 17 years old. Did she meet Farad in 1935? Where did this come from? Also in 1935 (March-8), she married John Mohammed. In terms of the car, Burnsteen alleged to have riden in it? When was this? What car was this? He had 2 cars?
-
When Master Fard Muhammad drove his car, he drove so fast he was known to have a heavy foot.
-
Master Fard Muhammad drove the Reformer Burnsteen Sharrieff Muhammad and mother Clara Muhammad in his car.
-
Master Fard Muhammad drove a Ford automobile and he referred to it as “Cavy” because a Caucasian had given it to him.
18. His comments about the breasts of women come across as creepy: “the breast was small and becoming, not big flabs of fat hanging nearly to her waist;” “breasts that were once medium and becoming, became large and flabby hanging nearly to the waist. Louis A. DeCaro, Jr., also wrote that “He was last seen at the Chicago airport in February 1934.” Her daughter, Medina Mohammed, has refused to reveal where her mother’s letters were sent. She has also declined to disclose where W.D. Fard’s letters were mailed from.
Under #18–Why was Wali Mohammed arraigned on Apr-19-1934? He wasnt part of the 13 that were arrested on Apr-17. He is part of the 6 additional teachers that were arraigned a few days later. Why was he in jail? Elijah Mohammed wasnt arrested during the raid either, and was also arraigned, an additional 6 people were arraigned (Wali Mohammed, David Sharrief, Ocier Zarrief, Willie Mohammed, Kallat Mohammed and Elijah Mohammed).
Burnsteen was in jail too, for like 9 days. Why isnt that even mentioned? I know towards the end of the letters.
Who is the Wali Mohammed mentioned in In Jan-1934, via the Cleveland Call and Post (of Sat, Jan 20, 1934 ·Page 4)? The medicine man? Shaikh Wali Dod?
19. Cuernavaca, Mexico? Omar Weston, formerly Mark Weston, a British-born surfer and missionary who has been spreading Salafism and Wahhabism in Mexico for over.
Japan? However, in 1934, Babe Ruth and others went to Japan for a tour. Is this counter-intelligence? Have you went into “Wilayat Takwiniyat”? Other super sufi concepts which are kufr? Fard stole from everyone! John Muhammad said the arabs wouldnt talk to them, the Syrians.
20. Is the case solved? What is next?
_____________________________________________________________________________________________
Questions for Morrow
1. Are the FBI reports accurate? Anton Batey seems to have confirmed the 3rd iteration of FBI reports.
2. Why was the first FBI leak in 1959 inaccurate? The New Zealander claim.
3. On August 15, 1959, the FBI sent a story to the Chicago New Crusader newspaper, stating that Fard was a “Turkish-born Nazi agent who worked for Hitler in World War II“. According to the FBI story, Fard was a “Muslim from Turkey who had come to the United States in the early 1900s. He had met Muhammad in prison … where the two men plotted a confidence game in which followers were charged a fee to become Muslims.”[78]
Evanzz 2011, pp. 204–205
According to the FBI, Fard was linked to the Pacific Movement of the Eastern World, a pro-Japanese movement of African Americans which promoted the idea that the Empire of Japan was the champion of all non-white peoples, and to senior members of the Black Dragon Society, such as Satokata Takahashi and Ashima Takis.[79] The FBI charged that Takahashi had been an influential presence in the Nation of Islam. He spoke as a guest at the NOI temples in Detroit and Chicago.[80][better source needed] A February 19, 1963, FBI memorandum states: “In connection with efforts to disrupt and curb growth of the NOI, extensive research has been conducted into various files maintained by this office. Among the files reviewed was that of Wallace Dodd Ford.”[81] Five months later, in July 1963, the FBI told the Los Angeles Evening Herald-Examiner that Fard was actually Wallace Dodd Ford.[82] The paper published the story in an article titled “Black Muslim Founder Exposed As White.”[83][dubious – discuss] An FBI memorandum dated August 1963 states that the FBI had not been able to verify his birthdate or birthplace, and “he was last heard from in 1934.”[84]
4. Was Fard a Polynesian aka Zealander? Ford Island? Zared Ford and the bottling company?
5. Les Payne, Fard was an ahmadi? Fanusie and her dissertation?

Chapter 1
Chapter one, “W.D. Fard’s Bible of Islamism Identified: A Century-Old Mystery is Solved” uncovers the bizarre book that the founder of the Nation of Islam treated as scripture.
1. Burnsteen’s book changed everything?
2. On page-2, you quoted Wakeel Allah’s book. Is this book based on 3 new books? Batey, Burnsteen and Allah?
3. I thought you had a better ref for Fard claiming to be the Mahdi for the Muslims and the Messiah for the Christians? You have Hatim, 1950’s? What about the Final call of 1934–38?
4. Eating rattlesnakes is from 1967.
5. JW’s proves that Fard was not an Ahmadi at all. He was using anything he found. If the JW’s were allowed to run a scam and mormons and 7th day adventists, then why not Fard? Bahai’s too!
6. Christianity painted black.

1. The baby isn’t his?
2. According to Morrow, none who directly heard W.D. Fard preach ever noted an identifiable accent. However, Chicago and Canada have a specific accent!

Chapter 7
1. In 2025, Anton Batey processed the following four photographs through Amazon Rekognition, a facial recognition software program. The similarity rates confirm that the W.D.

3.a. Did Malcolm X see the photo?
4. Why was WD Muhammad convinced that Fard was a white man? Many videos.

CHAPTER 23
THE PROFESSOR PROVIDES A CLUE: HAS FARD FINALLY BEEN FOUND?
1. Wakeel Allah says that Fard flew out of America.
2. Pages 274-275 of Gomez
Via Fanusie, page 239
“””For the discerning, initiated reader, careful perusal of Pan-African Duse Mohamed Ali’s African Times and Orient Review (1912-1918) and Marcus Garvey’s Negro World (1921-1933) provides evidence of Ahmadiyya, Pan-African, Pan-Asian and Pan-Islamic intersecting spheres of influence in a religious-reformist network that stretched from India and the South Pacific to England, North America and the Caribbean. My research suggests that an Ahmadiyya strategy for implementing a proto-Islamic agenda onto an existing indigenous platform grew out of this interaction. Where scholars have detected “parallel streams of development” between Fard’s NOI, Drew Ali’s MSTA and Garvey’s UNIA, the Pan-Islamic influences also point to Ahmadiyya interception or points of contact with each organization prior to its’ official establishment””.
3. Mexico. Cali?
4. Professor Ford?
5. “my professor,”?
6. So, the Nation of Islam has always been connected to Latin America. The Ahmadiyya were also active in Mexico and Central America prior to 1930. They had shaykhs in places like Honduras. The Moorish Science Temple of America also claimed to have a base in Mexico City.

APPENDIX 8
CHRISTOPHER C. ALSTON: AN EARLY EYEWITNESS TO W.D. FARD?
1. [Fard] sold rugs, carpets from samples that he brought around. Initially, he didn’t have anything to do with this movement at all. He came to our house at 981 Leland, and other people’s houses. He was a very nice guy. I remember him as a boy. My family bought a rug from him. Les Payne, The Dead Are Arising: The Life of Malcolm X (New York: Liveright Publishing, 2020) 246.
2. When Noble Drew Ali came to Detroit, Fard met him, talked to him, and cooperated with him. It was an honest thing. He wasn’t trying to make a racket out of it. He was [supposedly] from the East, and Drew Ali was talking about an Eastern thought. So it all fitted, and it attracted him. They had large crowds. But Fard never appeared at these large crows and said anything. He left the [spiritual] leadership to Noble Drew Ali and the others. He would appear, but he never tried to dominate the scene at all. He definitely had a relationship and was in contact with Noble Drew Ali. He was, like, following the [party] line.

Negro Leaders Open Fight to Break Voodooism’s Grip
Cult Conceived by Islamic Religious Fakir, Nurtured by Grafting Fanatics
He is referred to as Farad. Farad was arrested coming out of his hotel room at 1 W. Jefferson Avenue, Detroit. Farad was smiling enigmatically. He did not resist arrest. At police Headquarters, Farad evaded questions cleverly and had the smile of a complacent Oriental Fakir. Farad told detectives that he is the “supreme being on Earth”. Farad admitted to teaching Ugan Ali about Islam and Ugan had helped Farad start the Detroit chapter. Farad makes money via collections from his gullible followers and proceeds from his sales as a representative for a printing firm, said Farad himself. Each member of the cult is required to have an “identification card”, which Farad sold for a fee. Farad said that there were no funds in his cult’s treasury. Farad alleges that he has started a fund to pay an overdue electric bill in the temple. Farad alleges that Harris and Ugan Ali had misunderstood his teachings, and human sacrifices were not tolerated in his cult. Farad said that the death penalty is only for those who “disturb the peace in our temples”. Farad alleged to have members in Chicago, New York and Philadelphia.
–Detectives Wednesday expressed themselves as convinced that the cult had been conceived by an Arabian religious Fakir and for personal gain.
–3 men arrested with murder are Robert Harris and Wallace D. Farad (an Arabian, who confessed himself the supreme leader of the Detroit cult of Islam. Ugan Ali is the 3rd, a teacher.
–While in custody, Robert Harris falls into trances and has refused to eat.

–At 2:34, Bilal Muhammad starts. Allegedly, WD Fard started his mission on July 4, 1930. Independence Day, this was written in Beynon. I disagree with the date. One meal a day seems ridiculous.
–At 7:27, Fard didn’t sleep? What drugs are those? What kind of myths are these?
–At 7:40, how much do we know about 3408 Hastings? Why was it there until Apr-1934? It was moved thereafter? See the case of 1935?
–At 9:39, Fard technically poached off of the MST.
–At 10:30, 8000 followers? Seems to be a stretch. There is no hard evidence for it. Or is there? When did he acquire the property at Hastings? The old theater? 1932 or 1931? Math problems? What is a Farad? A mathematical unit? Math problems to illiterate people? Picnics? Baseball? Has to be summer. Has to be summer of 1931? Is there evidence of the bean pie in the 1930’s?
–At 14:30, he was driving around America? Proof? Fard let the institutions run themselves? By 1934, it was dead! It remained dead for 20 years. In the summer of 1934, they moved from Hastings to South State St. 1 million members in the 1970’s?
–At 16:16, Fard’s final letter, when was this uncovered? What book? How do they know where it was published from?
–At 16:54, Elijah was teaching that Fard was the “Messiah for the Christians and Mahdi for the Muslims”. Master Fard was invented? Evidence? And Allah in-person?
–At 19:40, Master Fard came to the USA in 1907 via China? He became Fred the Turk?
–At 20:48, what is Wally’s Cafe? I can’t find the photo of Hazel Barton.
–At 26:23, the Jehovas Witness connection.
–At 29:20, the Japanese connection. Master Fard makes WD Fard look boring!!! JW’s don’t believe in heaven and hell either. However, in 1934, Babe Ruth and others went to Japan for a tour. Is this counter-intelligence? Have you went into “Wilayat Takwiniyat”? Other super sufi concepts which are kufr? Fard stole from everyone!
–At 34:56, why was Farad measuring the amount of water? Farad stole from the Almanac of 1928. Reference for the Judge Rutherford wisdom?
–At 39:15, it was all profit, Farad never bought any buildings, he rented! He had no overhead cost. Bilal Muhammad called Farad political and not a scam.
–At 42:17, the DNA test.
–At 45:00, Farad’s mother tongue was Urdu.
–At 50:12, Fard used Urdu heavily, Ursu type of Islam…Pashtun don’t have blonde hair and blue eyes.
–At 52:00, WD Fard was every race.
–At 56:14, the myth of Yakub. Dr. Leo Stanley?
–At 1:03:00, Fard was diabetic and lost a tooth? Evidence that Fard went to Mexico? Nathaniel Muhammad’s testimony? How was Fard’s name spelled in that Spanish newspaper? Isn’t California also considered Mexico?
–At 1:11:00, the followers of WD Fard knew the address in Ferndale?
–At 1:16:00, WD Muhammad destroyed the archives?
–At 1:20:00, the political motive. And I might start slinging bean pies! (Ice Cube). Maria Almanzar.
–At 1:27:00, Muslim Shriners?

At 3:09, Bilal Muhammad doesn’t mention that Fard started an illegal school, which was shut down. Did Bilal Muhammad say that the FBI couldn’t find Fard? Is this referring to their first allegation that Fard was a New Zealander?

3408 Hastings St in Detroit
The Detroit Free Press, Detroit, Michigan • Page 1, 3
The Detroit Free Press of Nov-23-1932 raided the Temple of Islam, which was above a clothing store in Nov of 1932. The police alleged that there were 100 theatre-type seats available for people to sit. There seem to be 2 rooms. An adjoining room could also seat at least 50 people.
However, per the Detroit Free Press of Wed, Jan 13, 1932 ·Page 22 (and of Jan-10), about 10 months before WD Fard and his cult moved in, it used to be a Chinese Restaurant, however, all the furniture was auctioned off. This might be on the top floor, it’s unclear. Was it the Castle Theater? The Castle Theater was at 3412 Hastings Street.
