DETROIT— Women and girls from the nine regions of the Nation of Islam (N.O.I.) filed into the Grand Ballroom of the Huntington Place convention center Feb. 21 to celebrate the successful 2025 accomplishments of their Muslim Girls Training and General Civilization Class (M.G.T. and G.C.C., the women of the N.O.I.) and to present awards.
The class, which usually meets every Saturday in their respective cities, gave the sisters an opportunity to communicate and bond in their sisterhood, in celebration of Saviours’ Day and Ramadan 2026.
The meeting began with prayer, followed by traditional Mothers of the Faithful presentations—an annual observance of the most prominent women who worked in the foundational development and evolution of the Nation of Islam.
All presentations were delivered by the M.G.T. and G.C.C. Vanguard, young women and girls who serve as the class’s front line. The Mothers of the Faithful honored included Mother Evelyn Muhammad, Mother Ola Muhammad and Mother Khadijah Farrakhan.
All of whom received a standing ovation from the audience and prompted remarks from Sister Khallada Farrakhan, daughter of Mother Khadijah and the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan.
“I would like to say thank you on behalf of my mother, Mother Khadijah Farrakhan, for your love, for your sacrifice and for your due diligence to come to your class. There is no other place better,” Sis. Khallada said, encouraging the sisters to remain steadfast in their class for the betterment of themselves, their children and their communities at large.
The late Mother Tynnetta Muhammad was honored with a special presentation that highlighted the 18 young recipients of the “Mother Tynnetta Scholarship.”
The class also featured an inspiring M.G.T. 2025 Community Outreach video presentation produced by M.G.T. Studios. The presentation highlighted the various efforts by the M.G.T. across regions to positively impact the lives of their communities throughout 2025.
The presentation noted that the M.G.T. of the Nation of Islam conducted 1,326 community outreach programs, impacting at least 80,132 people. This effort was led by the top-ranked Southern Region, under the leadership of Student Regional M.G.T. Captain Nusaybah Muhammad. The Southern Region M.G.T. and G.C.C. completed 423 community outreaches, impacting at least 19,690 people in 2025.
The efforts received a heartfelt, pre-recorded “very special thank you” from Student National M.G.T Captain Naeemah Muhammad on behalf of the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan and the Shura Executive Council of the Nation of Islam.
As the two-hour electrifying class neared conclusion, Student Captain Naeemah gave remarks and further recognized the hard work of the M.G.T. She repeatedly brought the packed room of sisters to their feet.
Who responded to her presentations and award ceremonies with applause and cheers. All were encouraged to make greater efforts to help make their communities clean, decent and safe places to live.
“So, the M.G.T. and G.C.C. will say ‘what is Farrakhan doing and tell me what I can do to help the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan,’” she told the sisters.
Through a M.G.T. Studios self-produced 2025 Highlight Reel, Student Captain Naeemah also showcased the production team’s accomplishment and called on multilingual sisters to join them in translating M.G.T. Studios’ videos into various languages.
The productions are currently being translated into Spanish and French, as Captain Naeemah demonstrated in a Spanish- and French-speaking segment of the reel.
With the class concluding, the Student National Captain was honored with a gift on behalf of the M.G.T., before the sisterhood joined in prayer and the singing of their customary unity song.
