Wallace Fard Muhammad, also known as Wallace D. Fard or Master Fard Muhammad^[3] (/fəˈrɑːd/;^{[citation needed]} reportedly born February 26, c. 1877^[4]^[a] – disappeared c. 1934), was the founder of the Nation of Islam. He arrived in Detroit in 1930 with an ambiguous background and several aliases, and proselytized idiosyncratic Islamic teachings to the city's black population. In 1934, he disappeared from public record, and Elijah Muhammad succeeded him as leader of the Nation of Islam.^[7]
