How did the Nation of Islam begin?

The term "Nation of Islam" is confusing. Muslims traditionally call the universal community of Muslims "the Umma" or "Nation". In this sense, the Nation began when the humans recognized the power of God. The first human being is the prophet Adam who was created by the Hands of God, Adam was the first Muslim human being, so he(Adam) started the begin of the nation of Islam among human beings. It could also be seen that the first properly designated "Umma" was the one formed by Mohammed in Mecca just prior to the Hejira in 620 C.E. However, most Americans understand the term "Nation of Islam" to refer specifically to a political/religious movement among African-Americans. The Nation of Islam was founded in Detroit, Michigan, in July 1930 by Wallace Fard Muhammad. The Nation of Islam claims that W. D. Muhammad is both the "Messiah" of Judaism and the Mahdi of Islam. Within one year, he had approximately 25,000 followers who knew him as Prophet W.D. Fard, at Mosque of Islam #1.
