According to the Nation of Islam (NOI), Yakub (also spelled Yacub or Yakob), was an evil scientist responsible for creating the white race — a race of devils, in their view. Yakub created white people by a process of grafting the "black germ" to a "white germ" from the original black population of the world. It took 600 years for Yakub and his successors to fully whiten his creations. This was achieved under a despotic regime on the island of Patmos.^[1] The reasons for Yakub's actions are unclear. According to NOI doctrine, his progeny were destined to rule for 6,000 years before the original black peoples of the world regained dominance, a process that began in 1914.^{[citation needed]} The Nation of Islam (NOI) is a religious and social/political organization founded in the United States by Wallace Fard Muhammad in 1930 with the self-proclaimed goal of resurrecting the spiritual, mental, social, economic condition of the black man and woman of America and belief that God will bring...

The name Yakub is a variant of the Semitic name referred to in European language versions of the Bible as Jacob or in modern Jewish communities as Ya’akov. Fard Muhammad appears to have adapted the Biblical Jacob's role as the father of the tribes of Israel to reposition him as the originator of white people as a whole (including Jews).

In recent times, the doctrine of Yakub has been rationalized within the NOI as an allegory for the evolution of whites from the original black-skinned human populations of Africa, and as a parable warning of the dangers of eugenics. Yakub's 600-year experiment is seen as colorful storytelling, little different from the Bible's account of God creating Eve from Adam's rib, or the creation of heaven and earth in six days. In his autobiography (written with Alex Haley), El-Hajj Malik El-Shabazz (Malcolm X) notes that, in his travels in the Middle East, many Muslims reacted with shock upon their discovery of the doctrine of Yakub.

Author Chi-Town Ben has created a historical world for Yakub in his book "Yakub's Grafted Devil" lulu.com/angelicwarrior The author contends that Yakub was an actual person who "grafted" the white race over a literal 600-year period. His book contains "wheels" that divide time into just over 25,000 years. He shows how the "signs of the times" produce events and people who fulfill the need. In the case of Yakub, he came in the age of GEMINI, the Twins. He discovered the dual nature of the original Black people and "devided" the twins. The author postulates that there is a 600-year period in each of the "air" ages (Libra, Gemini and Aquarius) that the Human Genone has been broken (As science has recently done.) and a new people have evolved on earth. Prior to 15,000-years-ago the "Grays" walked the earth (A genius discovered the brown and black gene in the "humans" of the time, distroyed the brown and evolved the black into gray). 9,000-years later another genius (Yakub) did the opposite--distroying the black and grafting the brown into white). Today, Chi-Town says, a NEW Yakub is grafting the races back. The most shocking views of the author come in his upcoming book where he suggestst such things as 1) The bible from cover-to-cover tells the story Melanin manipulation (Light was in the darkness and darkness percieved it not!). 2) The five races of man are set to be attacked by the Grays (Angels) who walked before us. 3) Barak Oboma is the human savior. (coalescence of the human races) who must be placed over a world government to protect humanity during the invasion of 2012! The book "Can Barak Oboma Save the World?" is in production as of this writing. Chi-Town ben is influenced by Minister Benjamin Ibn Sahalladeen founder of Shebania Temple Ministries.
