The
Pursuit
of Excellence
Siraj
Wahhaj Do we really want
to achieve excellence or are we merely satisfied with being ordinary?
At a Texas summer youth retreat, Siraj Wahhaj shares his observations
that can help the believer progress on the road to excellence
by improving one's overall understanding, appreciation and practice
of Islam. In this talk, he makes a brief synopsis of the well-known
hadith of Gabriel with an emphasis on the critical aspect of
ihsan (striving for perfection). He also implores the audience
to remember that the Islamic teachings are for one's benefit
and that we must strive to learn and practice the deen. But this
striving comes at a price! What is that price and are we willing
to pay it? A great lecture for any Muslim, especially teenagers,
who want to move from one level of faith and practice to the
next. Other topics discussed: good and bad leadership, seeking
leadership, fear and humility before Allah, demonstrating gratitude,
and praying correctly with calmness. (Duration: 56 min + DVD
bonus lecture)

Qura University. He is the former vice president of ISNA and

praises for initiating anti-drug patrols in Brooklyn in 1988.
