Tribute To and Story of Imam Siraj Wahaj

I love Imam Siraj Wahaj. He’s someone that we need more of, both in the sense that I want more of him as a person, and we need more like him. Seriously, if you’re looking for some sort of Eman boosting in your life, download some Imam Siraj speeches and lectures from either aswatalislam.net or IslamWay Radio, or watch some of his videos on YouTube.
He is, by definition, an Imam for the people. He’s someone who helps guide the people, and someone who you’d want to go to, and not because of some sort of ranking, but because of his character. MashaAllah, may Allah increase him in this world and the next, and give us more like him for years to come.
But enough from me, check out this video. It was a major event at AlMaghrib Institute’s IlmFest 2008 in New York attended by over 900 people. First, AlMaghrib instructors Muhammad Alshareef, Yasir Qadhi, and Mohammed Faqih all give a tribute to our Imam, followed by a speech by himself on his “story”. The tribute video is not due to his death or anything, Imam Siraj is still very well alive, alhumdulillah!

The title of your post made me think Imam Siraj died! Be careful with your words

This is the second person who thought I put up a tribute because he died. I’ll edit the post up a bit to make sure there’s no confusion iA.

This is one of the best lectures I have heard in a long time. I was listening to it in the gym and it got my adrenaline going. It reminds me of when Nouman Ali Khan was telling us in Ohio that Imam Siraj has to water his speeches down for the masses but that in reality the man is real deep; this lecture gives us a taste of it.
