Converted to Faradian (as in W.D. Fard,
Elijah Muhammad, the Nation of Islam,
and the Nation of Gods and Earths) Islam at age 16, taking the Godly
name of Rakim Allah. His lyrics often contain references to the
Five Percenters and its Universal Language. Any coincidence between the Nation of Gods and
Earths and traditional Islam is accidental, as this form of Islam, which is actually a social movement instead of a faith, a bacronym for I-Self Lord and Master, is a made-up religion that only
has Islamic elements in it.
