Minister Ava Muhammad

"It is my fervent prayer that I succeed in my assignment in order to help Minister Farrakhan in his effort to destroy the myth that women are inferior beings who could not preach the word or shepherd the flock."

October marks the anniversary of the historic Million Man March, called for by the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan.  The Minister enlisted the aid and support of countless churches, mosques and community leaders to ensure the success of the event.  Although the march was catered to men, several phenomenal women spoke and attended, adding knowledge and distinction to the day including Rosa Parks, Maya Angelou and Minister Ava Muhammad.  

Minister Ava Muhammad was born and raised in Columbus, Ohio, and went to law school at Georgetown University in Washington, DC. She is a member of the New York State Bar Association.  Minister Louis Farrakhan made history when he appointed Ms. Muhammad as the first woman to lead a mosque and to be National Spokesperson for the Nation of Islam, and spokesperson for Minister Farrakhan. Ava Muhammad was chosen to head Muhammad's Mosque 15 in Atlanta, Ga., one of the largest mosques in the country. In addition to administering day to day affairs in Atlanta, Minister Farrakhan named her Southern Regional Minister, giving her jurisdiction over Nation of Islam mosque activity in Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi and parts of Tennessee.

As well as being a Minister for the Nation of Islam, criminal lawyer Muhammad has authored such books as Queen of the Planet Earth; The Rebirth; and Rise of the Original Woman.
