| Founding History |
|
The first Islamic
educational Institution in Atlanta was opened in 1965 and was named the
University of Al-Islam. After financially
struggling to survive for over a decade, the
University of Al-Islam closed its doors in 1977,
much to the dismay and disappointment of the
entire Muslim community in Atlanta. But that closing
would be short-lived. In 1980, the community
came together, once again, to fulfill the dream
of Sister Clara Mohammed, and opened an Islamic
Institution that saluted her bravery and courage
by naming the school Sister Clara Mohammed School. |

| Early History |
|
In 1918, a great woman by
the name of Clara Muhammad was married to the
Honorable Elijah Muhammad. Together, they
dedicated themselves to educating their own
children and not leaving their destiny in the
hands of the American educational system. They
risked their lives and their freedom in an era
when not only was independent education illegal,
but bold, independent thinking by African
Americans was considered a threat to the United States of America.
As a result of their dedication to their
mission, Clara and Elijah Muhammad carved a
space in American history–she as The Mother of
Education and he as the foundation of Islam in
America-and opened up the very first Islamic
School in the nation; thus changing the face of
freedom and education in America forever. |
