The Medinan Period Part 2 by Imam Anwar Al-Awlaki Finally Released
After over three years of waiting, fans will be pleased to hear that Imam Anwar is back on the Islamic audio CD scene with part 2 of the Medina Period of the Life of Muhammad sal Allahu ‘alayhi wa sallam.
I remember when part 1 came out at back at ISNA 2005. It was an awesome CD set, and since then people were waiting for a rumored release of Part 2 at ISNA 2006. But as Imam Anwar had been unfairly jailed around that time, we had to wait for the release of part 2.

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!
