Malcolm X


Today's blog is about the Autobiography of Malcolm X, Published in 1965 and in this chapter Malcolm describes his journey  through the "Hajj". All through his profession as a minister for Elijah Muhammad, Malcolm X regularly met Muslims from different nations who needed to open him to what they called "genuine Islam." He was outraged at the time, yet now he's reconsidering his Thoughts, Malcolm had been urged to make the journey to Mecca, called Hajj in Arabic, by universal Muslims he met on his speaking visits, and by different individuals from the Nation of Islam.

Lots of these same Muslims suggested to Malcolm that he should go and speak with Dr. Mahmoud Youssef Shawarbi and after their meeting Dr. youssef hands Malcolm his son's phone number just in case anything happened. so malcolm get on a plane to Frankfurt then all the way to Cairo, and the first thing that stroke Malcolm is how people with different colors and race are getting along together and no one is cursing the other. After that, malcolm get ready for the pilgrimage. he is nervous because he thought that he will not fit in with the other due to his lack of the Arabic language


 Presently, free of the conventions of Elijah Muhammad, he could seek after the genuine confidence of Islam all alone. The journey was financed by Ella, who had beforehand broken with the Nation of Islam and viewed herself as a genuine Muslim. She had been sparing to make the journey herself, however this cash was utilized to pay for Malcolm's journey


Malcolm X clarifies that every Muslim should make a pilgrimage to Mecca. When Malcolm X requests for a hajj visa, he understands that, a Muslim United Nations advisor must accept his standing as a Muslim. Malcolm X flies to Jeddah where officers seize his passport and inform him that a high court must determine whether or not he is a real Muslim. Officers send Malcolm to an airport, where he reflects on the various colours and languages. Malcolm called a friend of his who empties his father’s suite at the Jeddah Palace Hotel for Malcolm X. 


A car has been rent a car by Saudi Arabia’s Prince Faisal himself for Malcolm X to make the hajj to Mecca. Malcolm X describes his sense of miracle at Mecca. He admired the Islamic world’s absence of racial divisions. After Hajj Malcolm X writes letters home that express his new point of view on racial problems in the United States. After he met white people who are unspoiled by racism. He sees Islam as the solution to America’s problem. Malcolm X studied how to determine himself and he changed. From learning Malcolm X journey and life I studied that there is no giving up and never let go. You can always stay positive and keep ascending up the hill. No matter how far life shoves you, you should never loose and keep fighting.
