The
Mission of
the Muslim Ummah
Siraj
Wahhaj This opening session
of the United Muslim Conference in Orlando, Florida deals with
the mission statement of the Muslim ummah. Imam Siraj, drawing
this statement from the Holy Qur'an, sets the tone for the conference
by challenging the audience to understand and appreciate this
mission while striving wholeheartedly to fulfill it. As bearers
of the true message, do we really understand what Allah expects
of us? Do we understand our role in society as a "balanced
and just nation"? And are we ready and willing to follow
the explicit commands laid out for us in the Qur'an? In one of
the imam's most compelling lectures, he answers these pressing
questions and urges the audience to fulfill their roles of being
witnesses for all of humanity. Other topics discussed: the change
of the kiblah, Farrakhan and the Nation of Islam, how to combat
misrepresentations of Islam, the selling of alcohol by Muslims,
calling ourselves "sunni" Muslims, being a confident
Muslim, leadership, unity, hijab, and having the right spirit
of Islam in da'wah. (Duration: 1 hour, 18 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's the former vice president
of the Islamic Society of North America and has served on the
Majlis Ash-Shura since 1987.
