2004 book by Dr. Amir Al Islam.

Notes: This book is not about Malcolm X/El Hajj Malik Shabazz. Rather, the use of his image on the cover reflects again on the continuing significance of Malcolm to Black Muslims. Dr. Amir Al Islam is a longtime intellectual and thought leader in the US Muslim community, but his impact is not limited to the United States. His extensive biography includes: serving as the Coordinator of Religious Affairs (Dawah) and Community Outreach of the Muslim World League Office to the United Nations; as former Secretary General of the World Council of Muslims for Interfaith Relations, USA; and as Secretary General of the World Conference on Religion and Peace USA. He has also taught at institutions from Medgar Evers College to Abu Zayed University in the United Arab Emirates, is one of the founders of Muslim Alliance in North America, and serves on the board of the Innercity Muslim Action Network. He is also a dear friend of the family and one of my “uncles.”
