Do you claim that Islam is the solution
for the problems of the world? If so, then this lecture is a
"must-see" for you. Making such a claim is easy but,
as the speaker suggests, the burden of proof is on the one who
makes the claim. Imam Siraj's approach to this subject may be
surprising to most but, if understood properly, this lecture
can serve as a profound wake-up call for Muslims. One of the
most intelligent and motivating lectures by this well-known imam.
His message is forthright and thought-provoking. Not only does
he identify the issue that is at the root of America's social,
moral and spiritual problems but he takes you to task with your
claim and challenges you to support your words with your actions.
How can Islam be a solution for the world if it's not a solution
for you? Other topics discussed: Farrakhan and the Nation of
Islam, da'wah in America, "dating" in Islam, facilitating
marriage, uniting the ummah, and shaking hands between men and
women. (Duration: 1 hour, 25 min) Siraj Wahhaj, imam of Masjid
at-Taqwa in New York, is a dynamic speaker and tireless supporter
of Islamic causes. He accepted Islam in
1969 and attended Ummul Qura University in Makkah. He is the
former vice president of ISNA and has served on the Majlis Ash-Shura
since 1987. He received high praises from the media and NYPD
for initiating anti-drug patrols in Brooklyn in 1988.
