As-salamu alaykum. Welcome back to The Yusuf Project, where we tell the stories they don't want you to hear. Stories about our political prisoners. Stories about brothers and sisters who fought for justice and paid the price. Stories about Muslims who organized, who built power, who refused to be silent—and were buried for it.

In this powerful edition of The Yusuf Project, we delve into the complex and compelling story of Jeff Fort — former gang-leader, convicted conspirator, prisoner, and Muslim convert. From the streets of Chicago to the depths of incarceration, Fort’s journey raises challenging questions about faith, redemption, identity, and the transforming power of belief.
Join us as we trace his rise with the Black P. Stone Nation, his adoption of Islam behind bars, and the broader implications of his life for our understanding of crime, culture, race, and religion.
This is a story where the margins of society meet the Message of Islam — unflinching, real, and deeply human.

Muslim, Soldier, Fighter For Whats Right

Baghdad. The year is 833 CE.
The greatest legal mind of his generation is dragged through the streets in chains.
His crime? Refusing to say that the Quran was “created.”

Guantanamo Bay detention camp was established in January 2002 by President George W. Bush to hold terrorism suspects and "illegal enemy combatants" during the so-called war on terror following the September 11 attacks . The first prisoners arrived at the temporary facility called "Camp X-Ray" on January 11, 2002.The choice of Guantanamo was deliberate and cynical. The Bush administration maintained it was not obliged to grant prisoners protections under the U.S. Constitution or the Geneva Conventions, since the former did not extend to foreign soil and the latter did not apply to "unlawful enemy combatants

🎙️ The Life of Brother Abdul Majid: From Malcolm’s Disciple to Political Prisoner
This episode of The Yusuf Project dives deep into the extraordinary life of Brother Abdul Majid — a man shaped by the spirit of Malcolm X and the struggle for Black liberation. From his early days as a student of Malcolm’s teachings to his decades behind bars as a political prisoner, we trace a journey of conviction, sacrifice, and unwavering faith. Through powerful storytelling, archived interviews, and first-hand accounts, we uncover how Brother Abdul Majid’s life reflects the ongoing fight for justice, truth, and freedom within the Muslim and Black communities. Real history. Real resistance. The story they don’t want you to remember.

"Her birth name was Bernice Jones. She was born to be a doctor, raised in a devoutly Christian middle-class family in the Bronx. But history called her to a different healing—one that would transform her into Safiya Bukhari, a warrior who fought not just for her own freedom, but for every political prisoner left behind in America's dungeons. This is the story of a woman who sacrificed everything, survived torture and medical neglect, escaped prison to save her own life, and spent her final years building movements that continue to shake the foundations of American injustice."

The bio of the Muslim Soldier of Rightous Abdul Aziz Omar. 
 "In the turbulent streets of 1970s America, when Black communities faced systematic oppression and the FBI's COINTELPRO waged war against civil rights leaders, a young man named Herman Bell made a choice that would define five decades of his life. Today, known as Brother Abdul-Aziz Omar, his story represents one of the most complex journeys from revolutionary violence to spiritual transformation in American history."
