Nation of Islam
NOI is an organization founded by Wallace Fard Muhammad in 1930. Like its name, the followers of NOI claim that the group is based on Islam but the beliefs of NOI will shock you. The followers of NOI believe that God manifested Himself in the form of Wallace Fard Muhammad. They believe Wallace Fard Muhammad was the Messiah of Christianity and Mahdi of Islam. This belief is opposite to the actual belief of Islam which is based on Tawhid. When Christians claimed divinity for Jesus Christ, this is what God revealed in the Quran(5:17)
In blasphemy indeed are those that say Allah is Christ the son of Mary. Say: "Who then hath the least power against Allah, if His will were to destroy Christ son of Mary, his mother, and all every - one that is on the earth? For to Allah belongeth the dominion of the heavens and the earth, and all that is between. He createth What He pleaseth. For Allah hath power over all things.''
This verse is present in the Holy Quran and the followers of the Nation of Islam who claim themselves to be Muslims are believing 180 degrees opposite of that.
Elijah Muhammad
Wallace Muhammad led the Nation of Islam till 1934. He preached his Islam to his followers, but one thing that was prominent in his teachings was the anti-white ideology. His followers believed that white persons were devilish and they were created by a scientist named Yakub about 6000 years ago. When Wallace disappeared in 1934, Elijah Muhammad(student of Wallace) announced that Wallace had gone and he was the successor of Wallace. He announced himself as a Prophet which is against the real Islamic teachings. In Islam, Muhammad(PBUH) is seen as the last Prophet sent by God. Elijah had influenced many in his time including the likes of Malcolm X and Muhammad Ali.

Warith Deen Muhammad
After the death of Elijah, his son Warith Deen Muhammad took the charge in 1975. However, he knew that there were contradictions between the teachings of his father and the real Islamic teachings. He was against the anti-white ideology and wanted the followers of NOI to be more close to the global community of Islam. He also taught his followers that Wallace was not divine and his father Elijah was not a Prophet. Because of this, many followers left him and joined the new Nation of Islam led by Louis Farrakhan. This Nation of Islam was formed on the same beliefs as Elijah Muhammad had.

Louis Farrakhan
Louis Farrakhan is the current minister of the Nation of Islam. He still believes that God came in the form of Wallace Muhammad and Elijah Muhammad is the Prophet of God.
In this video, Louis says that he believes that there is no God but Allah which is totally right but then he goes on to say that Allah came in person in Wallace Fard Muhammad. He also says that Wallace was the Mahdi and the Messiah. These beliefs are totally wrong and unacceptable in Islamic doctrine.
If we see collectively, these beliefs of divinity and the theory of white people being devilish was only introduced by the Nation of Islam to glorify Black People and to make them superior to the white. Nation of Islam is totally opposite to that of Islam in terms of beliefs.
