The building first served as the Greek Orthodox Church of Saints Constantine and Helen, whose congregation later moved to the suburb of Palos Hills. Elijah Muhammad, leader of the Nation of Islam, purchased the property in 1972, and it became a mosque. According to the Arabic source, Louis Farrakhan bought the building again 16 years later, in 1988.

Farrakhan has stated that the former Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi lent Elijah Muhammad 3 million dollars to convert the former church into a mosque. This is reported as Farrakhan's own claim.

Из Википедии

Mosque Maryam, also known as Muhammad Mosque #2 or Temple #2, is the headquarters of the Nation of Islam, located in Chicago, Illinois. It is at 7351 South Stony Island Avenue in the South Shore neighborhood. The building was originally the Saints Constantine and Helen Greek Orthodox Church before it relocated to suburban Palos Hills. Elijah Muhammad, Farrakhan's predecessor as head for NOI, purchased the building in 1972. Muhammad was lent $3 million from Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi to convert the former church.

The main hall in the mosque is for meetings, since it was originally the church nave that contained pews later replaced with seats. Mosque Maryam has an internal open floor area for prayer rugs on which to kneel for prayer. They use that area every Friday for Jumu`ah prayer, which is led by the NOI's Imam.

Adjacent to the mosque is the Muhammad University of Islam, an educational institute for boys and girls from preschool through 12th grade.
