You hear of people in the west being inspired by Siraj Wahaj who in turn was inspired by Malcolm X. Amazing that their reach went all the way to this kid in the middle east. What a sadaqah jariyah
Imam Siraj was my wakil, my imam, & an inspiration. He's a sincere, kind, caring brother who truly loves Allah & is dedicated to the ummah. To say I love him deeply is an understatement.
JazakAllah Khair Sh. Yaser for such a motivational speech. Mind blown! And also can relate to a few things (was never a class topper though)! I am sure we can all learn from your life’s story. JazakAllah Khair for sharing!
Ali (ra) reported Allah’s messenger as saying, “Give the sadaqa without delay, for it stands in the way of calamity.” (Mishkat al-Masabih 1887) My dear brothers and sisters there is no bigger calamity than the hellfire dont delay in the good deeds and giving sadaqah in this blessed month.
Amazing story! SubhanAllah Allah SWT has the best plan and the most impeccable timing! We have to be patient and trust in Him. My two favorite Shaykh's of all time! Yaser Birjas and Omar Suleiman in the background. May you all be rewarded immensely in this life and the Hereafter for your incredible work. I've learned so many amazing Du'aa's from you!
JazakAllah elkhair for sharing this amazing and inspiring experience. Indeed Allah has best plans for us. May Allah forgive us and gather us all in Jannah. Aameen
Aameen. What a beautiful talk! Thank you and Aameen to your du'a. And I wholeheartedly appreciate and felt everything you said and co-sign the honor you gave. Aameen TaqabbAllaahu minna wa minkum. Aameen. Interesting. Before I read the bylines, I knew you had to be speaking of our beloved Imam Siraj Wahhaj, may Allaah preserve him upon goodness and afiyah. Aameen Sincerely.
Interesting motivational story, gave me hope, that things can be for you when you think it’s against you… ❤ Sheikh Omer Suleiman sitting so humbly.. Mashaa Allah

Allahu Akbar! What a beautiful story, subhanAllah it shows how important influence is. Alhamdulillah you met your role model from teenages years and Alhamdulillah Allah guided you to look up to someone who He guided. Allahumma baarikum.
MAY ALLAH forgive all of us and guide us to the straight path and answer our prayers ameen الله يغفر لنا جميعا ويهدينا إلى الصراط المستقيم ويستجيب دعواتنا آمين. اللہ تعالیٰ ہم سب کو معاف فرمائے اور ہمیں سیدھے راستے پر چلنے کی توفیق عطا فرمائے اور ہماری دعاؤں کو قبول فرمائے
But Br. Yasir Birjas spent most of the time discussing himself. Is that the Sunna? I have great grades. Let me take notes. It really matters to me that he did well in school. We are all very very impressed.
It is part of his narrative. Even though he did well at it, it still fell through (did not happen). We normally hear people giving up because they fail at something. By discussing his grades, his goal is not to show off, but to demonstrate even though you think you're headed down the way because of clear signs, things can still take a turn. If you're bad at something and it doesn't work out, it doesn't really effect you. If you're good at something and it doesn't work out, it upsets you and stresses you (you were so sure). He is saying that even when the latter happens, it is part of Allah's plan.
