Muhammad Ali and Malcolm X
" Muhammad Ali told Young Muslim that Malcolm X "...
was a good speaker. He was fearless. He helped me to
come to Islam." Muhammad Ali sought guidance and
counsel from Malcolm X, whom he met several times.
Just before Muhammad Ali's fight with Liston,
Malcolm advices him to remember David and Goliath.
Malcolm X was first to accept real Islam which later
was adopted by Muhammad Ali as well."
Malcolm X was largely credited with increasing membership in the NOI from 500 in 1952 to 30,000 in 1963. He inspired the boxer Cassius Clay to join the Nation of Islam and change his name to Muhammad Ali. (Like Malcolm X, Ali later left the NOI and joined mainstream Islam.)
