(THE NEWS TRIBUNE) In the 1980s in Middle Georgia, Muslims needed a new place to worship, so a few small families started to gather and worship together in a house in Macon.
Imam Rasool Saleem was around 8 or 9 years old when his parents invited a few Muslim families in the Middle Georgia area to start worshiping at their house.
His parents converted to the Nation of Islam from Christianity in the early 1970s. After Nation of Islam leader Elijah Muhammad died in 1975, Saleem’s parents followed Muhammad’s son to orthodox Islam.
