Raja'ee Bilal Nasir

Father of seven children and Grandfather of fifteen-grandchildren. Being such has- introduced me to many-people. Has taken me places I could never imagine. Morocco, dredging the waters between New Jersey and New York, a military language school, military police school, many military bases, Many Universities in support of and sharing in the experiences of our offsprings.

Married for fifty-two years to a beautiful-wife who has shared the good and tough times with me. I cannot claim any deserving- quality for the wonderful-human-beings in my-life, blood-family and human-family except by the Grace of Allah.

Assisted the leadership in the evolution of the Nation of Islam in 1975 from a mythical-perception of reality to the universal-religion of Al-Islam. The tireless-work of Imam Warith Deen Mohammed has-inspired me with a concern throughout my life for a concern for the physical, mental, moral and spiritual-growth of our-society. Also sparked an awareness of growth for the individual, family and society. It hasn't been easy. There have-been ups and downs, test that I passed and test that I have-failed. I praise the Lord of all the worlds (systems of knowledge) for the tests and seek His forgiveness and ask His guidance, as I walk the path of life as a pilgrim.
