The Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan continued to make history with his unprecedented appointment of Minister Ava Muhammad as the Southern Regional Minister and Minister of Muhammad Mosque No. 15.

Minister Farrakhan installed Minister Ava Muhammad before a capacity crowd July 28, 1998, at the Hillside Chapel Truth Center in Atlanta, Ga., pastored by the Rev. Dr. Barbara L. King.

“Beloved brothers and sisters, today is an historic day. It is fitting and proper that I come to this holy place with the Reverend (Dr.) Barbara L. King to officially install the first female minister of a mosque in the history of Islam,” said Min. Farrakhan in his opening remarks.

“It is my fervent prayer that I succeed in my assignment, in order to help the Minister in his effort to destroy the myth that women are inferior beings who cannot preach the word or shepherd the flock. Through my appointment, Min. Farrakhan is manifesting the liberating force and power contained in the Teachings of the Honorable Elijah Muhammad,” said Minister Ava.
