Siraj Wahhaj – Anti-Crime

About this lecture

In this lecture, Imam Siraj Wahhaj lays the groundwork for a discussion on Muslims' role in combating crime in America by first establishing the strong and growing presence of Muslims in American society. Drawing on personal anecdotes — including opening a session of the U.S. Congress in 1993 — he encourages Muslims to take ownership of their country and to always ask how their actions benefit society as a whole. The lecture sets the stage for a deeper conversation about community responsibility, leadership, and the Islamic imperative to be a force for good.
