While Malcolm was in prison he began to transform his life. He began to study Muhammad's teachings and he began to practice the Muslim religion faithfully. He began to digest the racial teachings of his new religion; that the white man is evil, doomed by Allah to destruction, and that the best course for black people is to separate themselves from Western, white civilization - culturally, politically, physically, and psychologically. Then in 1952 when he was freed from prison he went to Chicago to meet Elijah Muhammad. He was accepted into the movement and I was given the name of Malcolm X. He became minister of the Detroit Mosque. The following year he returned to Chicago to study personally under Muhammad and shortly after he was sent to organize a mosque in Philadelphia. In 1954 he went to lead the mosque in Harlem.

Before Prophet Muhammad's born, that era is called the Pagan times or times of ignorance. In those days, people were killing each other, robbing, stealing, gambling, drinking, and so forth. Maybe, if the prophet Muhammad did not exist, the world would be like that. All he did was call people, to expand teaching of Islam and against those who disbelieve.
