Masjid Malcolm Shabazz, formerly known as Mosque No. 7, is a
Sunni Muslim mosque in Harlem, New York City. It was formerly a Nation of Islam mosque at which Malcolm X preached, until he left it for Sunni Islam
in 1964.
History
Opened as
West 113th Street, in Harlem.[2]
In January 1964, Elijah Muhammad stripped Malcolm of his offices. Muhammad promoted James 3X as the new minister of Mosque No. 7.
Temple No. 7 was destroyed in a bombing in 1965, after
West 127th Street
. The building was redesigned by Sabbath Brown, and in 1976 the mosque was renamed Malcolm Shabazz Mosque, (by Wallace D. Muhammad, the new leader of the Nation of Islam), or Masjid Malcolm Shabazz, to honor the memory and contributions of Malcolm X.
In 1972, the mosque was the location of a
controversial police shooting.[3]
At 19 years of age in 1984,
converted to Islam, joined the Nation of Islam, and became known as Conrad X, and later as Conrad Muhammad.[4][5][6][7] At 25 years of age he was appointed the Minister of Mosque No. 7, and The Boston Globe described him as the heir-apparent of NOI head Louis Farrakhan.[8][9][6][10]
