He is a lifelong student of Islamic knowledge, and an accomplished instructor of religion and scriptural sciences. He has earned advanced credits in international and Arabic language studies from the Middle East Institute, Georgetown University, and the Modern Arabic Language Institute of Yemen in Sana’a. He served for fifteen years as the National Representative for Imam W. Deen Mohammed and his Ministry, the leader of the largest Muslim community in the Western hemisphere. In that capacity he addressed congregations at mosques, churches, and synagogues, made presentations to government representatives and bodies, participated in formal discussions with political, cultural, and social leaders and organizations, and lectured at dozens of colleges and universities throughout North America. On behalf of Imam W. Deen Mohammed and the Muslim-American community he traveled to meet with leaders in Africa, Europe, the Middle East and Asia, and participated in conferences and programs in Saudi Arabia, Malaysia, Ethiopia and Italy, among other countries. He has been interviewed by major print and electronic media, and written several articles on Islam in America, including an “Open Letter to all Americans,” that appeared in USA Today shortly after the September 11 attacks.
When Imam W. Deen Mohammed announced his resignation as leader in the society of Muslim-Americans, some major U. S. newspapers speculated Earl Abdulmalik Mohammed to be his logical successor: “Influential Leader Steps Down,” (The Los Angeles Times, September 13, 2003); “A Journey of Faith,” (The Baltimore Sun, August 16, 1998). In December 2001 at a public forum in Grand Rapids, Michigan Imam Mohammed was asked if there were any persons from his community who could represent Islam and Muslims the way he did. He said in response, “Earl Abdulmalik Mohammed, in my opinion, is responsible for most of the propagating of the true image of Muslims in America. Not just for us, but for all Muslims” (The Muslim Journal Newspaper, December 14, 2001).
In 2013 Earl Abdulmalik Mohammed was convicted of a single count of mail fraud related to his family business. He is currently serving a U. S. federal prison sentence.
In 2016 he authored Democracy, Civic Virtue, and Islam: The Muslim-American Jihad Against Extremism to wide international distribution and acclaim. With On Nature and Nations: The Muslim-American Message for Humanity in the Day of Religion his voice is established as the foremost spokesman for Islam in America in the guided tradition of Imam W. Deen Mohammed.
