If Malcolm’s brother didn’t convert him

This question is really good because almost all of his actions in jail that were to better himself have been meant for belief in The Nation of Islam. So it’s hard to really believe what he could’ve done, in one hand if he decided to not better himself he would’ve became the same person leaving as coming in. But on the other hand with motivation like Bimbi, and all that Bimbi is that Malcolm would like to be.
