I saw a positive role religion played in Malcolm X’s transformation through the abilities he achieved with reading‚ writing and conversing with others. If he had not been exposed to Allah who triggered in him the desire to know more and converse more with Mr. Elijah Muhammad‚ he would never have learned to read or write as well as he did.
