Siraj Wahaj - The Losers on the Day of Judgement

About this lecture

In this powerful khutbah, Sheikh Siraj Wahhaj draws on a profound hadith from Sahih Muslim to warn Muslims about the concept of the spiritual "bankrupt" — the person who arrives on the Day of Judgment with prayers, fasting, and zakat, yet loses all their good deeds because of how they wronged others through slander, theft, violence, and injustice. The lecture emphasizes that worship alone is not enough; Muslims must also guard their deeds by protecting others from their tongue and hands. Sheikh Wahhaj concludes with a moving personal story about giving his 89-year-old mother her Shahada, and a call to protect one's family and invite neighbors to Islam.
