Imam Siraj Day, May 8th | The Very First Time I Met Imam Siraj – Yasir Qadhi
*MM is requesting all readers to join our initial campaign of $2000 $5000 (see bottom). If you make a donation, pls add a comment to encourage others (you can be anonymous or type in your name). This is peanuts compared to what we, the Muslims, have gained from him.
NOTE: The following is transcribed from the on-line fundraiser that was conducted last week; please excuse the punctuation errors and linguistic style.
When I was only 16 years old, I was really excited because Imam Siraj Wahhaj had come to Houston, TX. “Imam Siraj is coming to Houston!” I said. “This is the first time that I’m going to see him!” This was a time when there was no internet or videos of Imam Siraj, so I had never seen what Imam Siraj looks like.
I came early to the masjid and was waiting around, but he wasn’t there yet. So I walked outside to do wudhu, and there was an elderly African American gentleman there.

He said, “Assalaamu alaykum, akhi, how you doin’?!”
I said, “Alhumdulillah, I’m doing fine,” and we had a nice conversation. But I was wondering, “Who is this guy? I’ve never seen him before.” And he was talking to me, a 16 year old at the time, wa’Allahi as if he was my uncle or something.
“How’s everything? How’s school going?” This and that. And I’m still wondering who this guy was. Then it clicked.
I asked, “Are you Imam Siraj…?!”
He smiled, and I’ll never forget that smile, and said, “That’s what they call me, akhi!”
SubhanAllah, this is why this man is an Imam. An anonymous kid comes up to do wudhu next to him, and he strikes up a friendly, loving conversation. It was such a touching moment for me. And that just touched my heart in a way I cannot express.
My dear brothers and sisters in Islam! Imam Siraj Wahhaj is man who has raised millions upon millions of dollars for the Muslim Ummah. Now he is in a time of need.
I remind myself and you of the Hadith of the Prophet sal Allahu alayhi wa sallam in which he said: “Whoever takes care of one problem of one Muslim, Allah subhanahu wa ta’ala will take care of a problem of his.”
I encourage all of you to give what you can.
– Yasir Qadhi
MuslimMatters.org is joining MSA National today for Imam Siraj Day. The fundraiser from two weeks ago was short by $75,000 of the goal, and today, we’re going to join in the cause to take care of our Imam’s medical expenses.
With that, let’s make it a goal for MuslimMatters.org readers to raise $2,000 $5,000 on Imam Siraj Day. InshaAllah the readers of MuslimMatters can easily meet this, if not more.

By popular demand, the target has been pushed higher, more reward, higher levels.
FIVE THOUSAND. Think about it. We get over 5000 hits a day. If each hit was worth $1, we’d be there. I urge everyone who reads this thread: Do not turn away until you donate the maximum you can. Even if that is $500 or $5. Every dollar counts.
Let’s do a “Sponsor a MM hit”. Each hit worth $1.00. How many hits will you sponsor?? How many visitors will you cover??

I gave the khutbah at Masjid al-Islam today, in New Haven, CT. It is a small African-American community in the heart of town; Imam Zayd Shakir used to be the Imam for many years.
The second half of my khutbah was dedicated to this cause; we raised alhamdulillah 1500 dollars (but this will not be added to MM’s endeavour, as its separate) I mentioned how Imam Siraj had helped build hundreds of masjids across America.
After the khutbah, one of the senior administrators of the masjid announced that Imam Siraj had come down twice for that very masjid, and in fact the masjid owes a lot to him personally, for his fundraisers helped build portions of it!
May Allah cure the Imam and bless him in this life and the next!

may Allah ta`ala cure our beloved shaikh and purify him during these times..ameen.
To me, the amazing thing about Imam Siraj is that as an African American Imam, every single community throughout N.A. loved him dearly and looked up to him…you would even find older uncles and aunties love him…subhanAllah, i pray that it is a sign of his acceptance on earth..
Back in the old college days, I remember being in charge of our MSA’s tape collection and we had purchased the whole set from Imam Siraj..till this day, I remember his “do not get angry” lecture and “la tagthab” was probably one of the first arabic phrases that I learnt..
Also, Imam Siraj had contributed so much to our community in S. Florida, we had hosted him many times…he has been personally been an inspiration to me and my wife and hopefully to our children… may Allah ta`ala grant him and his family a high station and ease his affairs..ameen..

Mash’Allah, what GREAT spirit. A wakeup call for all of us who are not relying on the next paycheck to make the donation, a spirit hard to match!

Assalamualikum wrb
jazakumullah khair for sharing your first meeting with Imam Siraaj
it is touching and i believe shared by many who have met him and spend time with him
i am 13 years younger than imam Siraj. sheik Yasir Qadi probably thought when he was 16 everyone older than him were “elderly”. i can,t wait to see Imam Siraaj and Shaik Yasir Qadi both together again hope fully soon at upcoming ICNA inshallah. may Allah reward you for excellant work you do and give all our spiritual leaders a long and healthy life. May allah accept all our good deeds and save us from hell.

AssalaamuAlaikum,
I just donated $100.
Can some one provide us with an update on how the Imam is doing?
May Allah cure him, and elevate his rank in the sight of Allah (swt).
