Ma sha Allah an excellent initiative has been launched to help our beloved and dear Imam Siraj Wahhaj (may Allah protect and preserve him). Recently Imam Siraj was diagnosed with prostate cancer in March 2009. Since then he has been receiving medical treatment and is in need of help to pay the medical bills.
I’ve met him personally on many occasions, the two most memorable ones were when we invited him to GMU MSA to give some lectures. I remember picking him up at the airport and driving him around town, and subhanAllah he’s just an amazing person, so down to earth and humble, friendly, helpful, I could go on and on, the man is a jewel in the Muslim community and he has helped countless people in many aspects throughout the years of his service.
He was there when we needed him; now he needs us! Please I ask you to check out the website that has been started to help him out and donate whatever you can for this project. And don’t forget to attend the online fundraiser for him as well, Suhaib Webb, Zaid Shakir and Faraz Rabbani will be speaking in sha Allah - Saturday April 25th, 2009 at 7PM EST.
May Allah (swt) cure Imam Siraj of this illness and give him health, give his family patience and make it easy on him and them in this trying time, bless him and his family in this life and the next life with the best, ameen!
