>Masjid Wali Muhammad is home to one of the first and oldest African American Muslim congregations. They moved to their current location on Linwood in 1959. Their first home was on Hastings Street in Black Bottom and was established by W.D. Fard and led by the Honorable Elijah Mohammad in the early 1930s. Their name changed from Muhammad's Temple No. 1 to Masjid Wali Muhammad in 1978 when the Honorable Warith Deen Muhammad led the former NOI into the Universal Islamic community.

a year agoI was in town for a conference and came here to pray Jummah. This is a beautiful historic masjid, full of warm and welcoming brothers and sisters. Was blessed with an opportunity to hear an erudite guest khateeb (Imam Rashad). Incredible food can be purchased after Jummah (card payment taken upstairs/cash by the server downstairs). Facebook page had latest Jummah times posted. May Allah bless this community. Visitors please consider making a donation towards the renovation fund also.

a year agoSalaam Alaikum the only reason I gave this Masjid 1 star is because every time I go to Jummah there they hold you hostage for 1 1/2 hours, and donโt care about if someone has todo anything after Jummah . Thereโs no reason why they have to talk that long about anything. The Sermon should be short and the prayer can be long. All others Masjid I go to you are done in 30-45 minutes. I have seen other people leaving because of the time you are there. CAN SOMEONE PLEASE ASK THEM TO CUT THE TIME FOR JUMMAH, InshAllah because it is to long. As Salaam Alaikum

5 years agoWonderful history. Went to jummah and heard a great speech on the importance of being more than a black Muslim, but just Muslim. I've been saying that since I was a kid. Glad to hear leadership gets it too
