Building Communities, the NBA and Everything in Between – Interview with Imam Siraj Wahhaj

Building Communities, the NBA and Everything in Between – Interview with Imam Siraj Wahhaj

In this interview, we sit down with visiting scholar Imam Siraj Wahhaj. We ask him about his community work, his comments on the last NBA season and everything in between.

Imam Siraj Wahhaj is the Imam of Al-Taqwa mosque in Brooklyn, New York. He is one of the most senior, respected and much loved religious leaders in America. There isn’t a major Muslim community that he doesn’t know or have friends in so he is uniquely placed to give us a sense of where American Muslim communities are at.

Imam Siraj talked to us about his experience founding and leading Masjid Al Taqwa, what it means to work in the inner cities and the lessons he’s learned over the years. Through this community work, Imam Siraj also councils us on how he continues to have the have the hope and courage that he has to face the problems of our community today. He comments on how he views the severe racial divide in the US and whether he sees that playing out both from within the Muslims community in the North America at large. Lastly, Imam Siraj explains why he finds it vital for more Muslims to pursue reliable sacred knowledge and how that can make a difference in our daily lives as well as within the community and Ummah at large.

This interview was conducted in June of 2017 at the Sayeda Khadija Centre in Mississauga (http://www.skcentre.com/).
