Unity
and
Leadership
Siraj
Wahhaj Siraj Wahhaj presents
what he believes to be the number one issue challenging the ummah
in modern times: the need for centralized leadership. Although
many people are entering the fold of Islam through conversion,
many life-long Muslims are succumbing to the temptations of secular
life and leaving the deen altogether. And so the imam asks the
question, "How do we maximize the fertile ground of America,
and minimize that back door by which people leave the deen?"
The imam's answer is a fiery speech that captivates the audience
and brings attention to a matter which is so often neglected.
By citing two examples, the initial disunity upon the death of
Prophet Muhammad (P) and the benefit of America uniting its states,
the imam shows how unity and leadership are at the core of true
success for the ummah. Other topics discussed: the importance
of full-time Islamic workers, and racism among some Muslims.
