Tasibur Uddein Rahman

Tasibur Uddein Rahman (Urdu: تصبر رحمن‎) was a Sunni Al-Hanif Muslim from Pakistan who set up the Hanafi Madh-hab Center[1] in the 1920's in an effort to move the United States towards Orothodox Islam. They took in interest in presenting Islam to African Americans, informing them that Islam is a religion that does not recognize race or color.[2]

Rahman met Ernest Timothy McGee in 1947 and introduced him to the Sunni Muslim concepts. He changed his name to Khalifa Hamaas Abdul Khaalis and taught him the sunnah for three years. Rahman convinced Khaalis to infiltrate the Nation of Islam with the mission of converting their members to Sunni Muslim.

The result was the 1973 Hanafi Muslim massacre and the 1977 Hanafi Siege.
