Elijah Muhammad (born Elijah Poole, October 7, 1897 - February 25, 1975), leader of the Nation of Islam from 1934 until his death in 1975, is buried at Mount Glenwood Cemetery in Thornton, Illinois.
EXCERPT
Following his return to Chicago, Muhammad found himself firmly in charge of the NOI. The organization had held its membership steadily during his years of imprisonment, and began to grow once he returned. From four temples in 1946, the NOI grew to 15 by 1955 and by 1959 there were 50 temples in 22 states.[19] One of Muhammad’s top lieutenants during this period, generally credited with growing and expanding the NOI, was Malcolm X. Converted while in prison, Malcolm X became involved in the organization in 1952 and moved across the country opening and organizing temples. During this time, NOI also began expanding economically, as well.

(Jabir Herbert Muhammad — son of Nation of Islam founder Elijah Muhammad)
Rezko began his career as a civil engineer, but he was soon investing in real estate and fast-food restaurants on the side. Many of his business ventures were in downscale black neighborhoods. He built houses on the historically black South Side, and started chains of Subway sandwich shops and Papa John’s pizzerias. Those deals provided him the money to connect with his first powerful patron: Muhammad Ali. In 1983, at the urging of Ali’s business manager, Jabir Herbert Muhammad, Rezko held a fundraiser for mayoral candidate Harold Washington, who would become Chicago’s first black mayor. After that, he was invited to join Ali’s entourage as a business consultant. Rezko put together endorsement deals for the Greatest, and was executive director of the Muhammad Ali Foundation, a group devoted to spreading Islam.

Jabir’s funeral was quite a success. Both current Nation of Islam boss Louis Farrakhan and The Champ, Muhammad Ali, were in attendance.
Malcolm had converted the young Cassius Clay to Elijah’s race-baiting Islamic heresy in the early 1960s. In 1964, however, Elijah excommunicated the dangerously charismatic Malcolm and installed his own son, Jabir, as Ali’s business manager. The energetic Rezko, who had arrived in Chicago from Syria in 1974, went to work for Jabir in the 1983 and was soon managing the ex-champ’s business affairs.
I know this has been asked & answered a million times, but I missed it :-)
Is Stanley Ann’s passport public record?
One of the primary reasons for Malcolm being excommunicated was Malcolm publically criticizing Elijah Muhammed’s extramarital affairs, and calling him a fraud committing unIslamic acts of adultery. Elijah feared for his own life.
