Touring in the U.K. with my dad was amazing!!

2014-04-27T23:05:00.000-07:00

Peace and Blessings!

I know it's been quite some time since we've spoke, and boy do I have so much to tell you! But before we get into it, if you haven't already done so go to my FB page and make sure we are connected as I post updates regularly there! I've been meeting so many fascinating people and built some strong business relationships there and I don't want you to miss out so let's connect now by clicking here.

Where do I begin? 2014 is different for me. I made up my mind to become 100% non-negotiable with achieving my goals. I made up my mind that this is the year to take my mission, my purpose, my calling, my ideas, and my path to the next level Bi'ithmillah even if it meant facing my fears head on!

It seems as if this renewed spirit, heart, and mind catapulted me into a new dimension. My determination has went through the roof, Mashallah and opportunities all around unlocked simultaneously. It's unbelievable. I owe it all to Allah. It wasn't until I made the decision to really get deep into the Quran, although I still have a long way to go, that openings are pushing forward which would have otherwise remained closed. Please, I beg you, dedicate at least 20 mins daily to studying your Quran, even if you cannot do it everyday. It is a jewel, a treasure, and the key to everything you're searching for. I don't know who I'm talking to tonight but someone needed to hear this.

My dad: "Hujrah, did a brother from U.K. contact you"? "Yes". "Did he tell you he wants to invite you and I along with Yasmin Mogahed, Nouman Ali Khan, and Suhaib Webb for a 3 city tour to empower the youth"? "Yes, he told me". "Hujrah, I'm proud of you baby, I used to be Imam Siraj Wahhaj, now I'm just Hujrah's dad. Everywhere I go they love you baby". "Lol, dad that's why you're so awesome, I wish more men could be like you, but it's not me, it's Allah doing it and you made the shoes to fill extremely huge, blame yourself." Lol.

What a humbling experience. I am honored to have been requested to join our beloved scholars for the common goal of saving and empowering our youth. I will be sure to keep you posted of the logistics once its solidified.

Three weeks later I get a text from my stepmom asking if I wanted to join her on an all expense paid trip to the U.K. in which we would be able to join my dad partially on his 10 city tour! Man, was I blown away. Allah works fast once you decide to get out of your own way!

My visit to the U.K.was amazing. The people there were so warm and inviting. They smiled, waved and smiled some more. We networked, joined Imam Siraj partially in his 10 city tour with Basheer Jones, Na'eem Raaza and Baraka Blue, had lunch at Shaykh Ibrahim Osi-Efa's Felicity Institute where we were served the drink of The Prophet (swa), attended a traditional Somalian wedding where me and my stepmom, Jamilah Wahhaj were initiated as official Somalians, (Subhanallah they shut the Banquet Hall Down) and I filmed a taping of The Hujrah Wahhaj Show U.K. Edition. What an unforgettable trip it was. I surely am looking forward to my next visit!

Attached are just some of the pictures from my visit, be sure to visit my FB page to view them all. Enjoy!

P.S. I leave you with this:

An Eagle builds her nest in high places such as mountain tops and peaks so that her eaglets come into this world with a high mentality. When the eggs hatch she finds food and protects them for some time. One day the Eagle starts stirring up the nest, destroying the very essence of her eaglets peace. Naturally the eaglets first reaction is to try to sit back in their familiar places only to find the protrusions that once protected them in the nest now burdening them. She then charges the sky flying as high as she can with her eaglet in tow and releases it in mid air. Naturally the eaglet can't fly and just as its about to reach the bottom the Eagle swoops down and catches it. She repeats this over and over until the eaglet realizes it needs to fly. Finally, the Eagle does this one last time but instead of swooping down to catch her eaglet she turns in the opposite direction and flies away. Is God stirring up your "nest"? Are you permanently residing in a state of mind, circumstance or place that was only meant to make you grow into someone bigger and better? Just like gifts are wrapped in wrapping paper, sometimes God's upgrades are wrapped in trials, shock, and discomfort. Fly, it's time to move on. At least flap a wing before God turns the opposite way because you're too afraid to put your trust in Him.

With Love and Light,
Your Sister in Prosperity and Possibility,

Peace and Blessings!

I know it's been some time since we've last talked and I wanted to check in with you and send my salaams!

How are you? How has your spirit been? Have you met any of the goals that you've set out to accomplish? Have you been feeding and nourishing your soul? Have you found healthier coping mechanisms? Have you evolved in any areas of your life, especially the most pressing ones like spirituality, relationships, health, and finances?

If you have, Excellent! I expect only greatness from you. Congratulations, you are doing better than most people. If you answered to no to any of these questions, despair not, you are not alone. Most people are stuck, confused, and frustrated and don't know where to turn and this my dear is why I dedicated my life to helping you move the mountains out of the way so that you can stand ON your story and not IN your story!

So I just wanted to check in with you.

My dad has been extremely busy since getting his passport back and traveling abroad, but don't worry I'll have some funny and interesting stories as soon as I can pin him down.

I was recently invited to give a talk at "The Fiercest Winter Ever" Sister's Gala in New Jersey and I must say it was absolutely beautiful. The sister's truly did an excellent job in executing a fascinating event full of love and unity. What a beautiful theme. I was extremely impressed. Mashallah.

My talk was on unity but I just had to incorporate my sisters story (Basma Wahhaj), as you know it is a very dear one to me. Subhanallah, there was not a dry eye in the audience. Mashallah, Allah has truly blessed this ummah to be able to meet for the first time and cry and bond over Allah and His Magnificent Grace.

As the sisters came up to the stage afterwards to hug me, Subhanallah we cried even more! Unbelievable! Unbelievable! They told me they needed that so badly which prompted me to hug them even tighter, without letting go.

So, since I've let you guys in to my family life, it's only right I share with you.

P.S. Don't ever walk in a room and dim your light in fear of intimidating others, for those are the people who need your light the most. Shine your light, because shrinking went out in 2013!

Watch HERE and Enjoy!

I love you guys!

With Love and Light,

Hujrah Wahhaj

My dad thinks he's 15 years again and it's so cute!

2013-12-08T06:11:00.002-08:00

As Salaamu alaikum! I pray you are at your absolute best this day and the following days to come. Well, it seems as if my dad is 15 years old again. Subhanllah, ever since he's gotten his passport back he won't sit down (as if that's something new). Lol. His world tour is taking off without a hitch! It's so funny because every time I pick him up from the airport, he tells me each time, "I know I said the last trip was the best trip, but this one really was over the top". Lol. Wow, he loooooves you guys. We was blown away in Canada. He said it was unbelievable the hospitality and love from the community. Then he went to U.K. and was left in total awe. He said it was so many people coming to the event, they had to turn people away because it became a fire hazard. He said the entire stage was completely covered with people who had no more sitting or standing room in the audience. Unbelievable!

I'm so very excited to witness this. I watched my dad for many years do what he does and I tell you I respect his tenacity, dedication, and endurance in this work! May Allah forever shower him with unlimited blessings, Mercy, and joy for his efforts. I told my dad that when I become a millionaire I will retire him. "Hujrah", he said, "Thanks but I work for Allah, there is no retiring". Subhanallah, you heard it hear first, Imam Siraj Wahhaj would never consider retiring! (Smile).

It's amazing, before Facebook my dad had no idea what I was up to unless I told him, now he travels across the world and everybody's telling him what I'm up to, LOL. So now when I pick him up from the airport, he tells me before I can tell him what I'm up to. "I saw you on The Omar Regan Show", or what's going on with your this project or that? It's the cutest thing. We compare stories, laugh, laugh, and laugh some more, and then part ways and get back to "saving the world".

I love my dad. People have no idea how cool he is. It's so rare to be able to have the best of both worlds, a cool, down to Earth father who's also a beautiful spiritual advisor. Mashallah! Next on the tour is Africa, I'll be sure to inform you which part. Stay tuned for up-coming pictures and video of my dad's world tour. This is absolutely amazing to witness and I pray we all meet in Jannah and reminisce about the good 'ole Earth days. May this day be better than you ever imagined it to be!

Good Morning Loves,

My dad has always taught us to be the best regardless of your circumstances. My dad has taught us to love Allah more than anyone in this entire world. Growing up with Imam Siraj Wahhaj has given me many blessings and treausres but even with all that I've experienced there was a time I found myself piecing my life back together after it became fragmented.

I found a little treasure that I felt compelled to share with you. Hope you like it!

I left my hometown, NYC with a one way ticket to Atlanta, Ga and $.28 in my pocket. I had no idea what the next day would look like nor did I have a solid plan. All I knew was that I was moving to a new City with nothing but 100% faith in Allah and assurance that my life was about to change drastically because I finally decided with conviction that it was time to truly live in my passion.
I look back at the event that would forever change my life and can't believe how fast life became better for me. The question I keep asking myself as I'm flying up my ladder of success (All praises belong to God) is what if I never made the courageous decision to leave my familiar discomfort and step into unknown possibilities? I would still be at start and not writing this article to you.

It was challenging starting from square one. I had to rebuild myself up in a new City, new rules, new people, but I had new hope. I knew that if I wanted to produce a different outcome I had to move and think differently. I had to learn some new ideologies and unlearn some bad habits including negative inner dialogue. Then when I started to have breakthrough after breakthrough I realized that success is no secret magic potion or single event that just happens, that in fact it is a science to it and it begins with your mindset.

So, how do you get yourself back on track after a low point?

Here are five steps that you must begin implementing today to take back your life and start becoming the dynamic person you were meant to be.

1) The very first thing you must do is completely remove yourself from the people, place, or thing that has obviously contributed to your downfall. I left town because I wanted a completely new life but you don't have to make a move so drastic. If you can't get away permanently then leave for at least a couple of hours or a day and go to your safe place. Everyone has one. The safe place is THE place you can go to find total peace, comfort, and repose. There are no worries, stress, or people who make you feel discomfort. I have several including lakes, beaches, day spas, trees, etc. It can even be a close friend's house or a relative. Find that place and retreat..... Click here for the full article.

I LoveYou... More Than You Hate Yourself.

2013-09-21T12:41:00.001-07:00

Good Day Loves,

It seems like just yesterday I was in a dark place filled with pain and doubt. A space that kept me in fear and suffering from the people pleasing syndrome. I was really tired of being stuck, still, and stagnant. I know somebody out there understands that space. I am so content and happy to be able to say I have moved into a new home where my mental residency is Possibility! My mind and heart have been through the battlefield and because of it I stand before you as the confident, humbled Muslim woman who knows without a shadow of a doubt that nothing and no one is more loved, beloved, and deserving of True love other than Allah. He is my world. He validates me and because of it I am able to live in this world as He tells us to, fearing Him only and carrying out my mission; to inspire and change the very world around me! Wow, what a different life this is! All Praises Belong To God!

I'm inspired to speak to you for a second. I promise to be quick. Please forgive me if I seem a little blunt but as a transformational speaker I must say the things that people don't want to hear in order to get them to change the things they desperately need to change for the sole purpose of transforming US into the vessels of light that we were born to be.

I am learning to develop thick skin. I am learning to LOVE people where they are and not where I want them to be. I am learning to have high expectations in God only for He is the Most Perfect Being, truly competent to handle everything. I have stopped apologizing for my blessings. I have accepted the fact that not everyone wants, cares, or are courageous enough to be helped, changed, or saved but that I can still love people more than they hate themselves.

I was inspired by T.D. Jakes speech about Stagnation. I walked away understanding that if you run around with limited people as limited as you, they will compete with you instead of complete you. I understand that limpers find great comfort in hanging with other limpers because if everyone is limping there is no need to walk, run, or soar, for that matter. When water stands still it becomes attracted to infectious diseases. Healing and growing can only take place when we are moving. You cannot become changed in an area you are comfortable and until you become comfortable with becoming uncomfortable, be prepared to reside in the same mental space that's been producing the same results that's bringing you so much misery in your life. Investing in yourself, your relationships your children, and your future begins with you. If you cannot convince yourself to invest in you, why would other people be bothered? It's time to stop staring further than you can reach. Get up and use what you have to get what you don't have in order to get to where you know you were meant to be!

We have so much work to do.. I surely do! We will be work in progress until we leave this Earth. So let's work.

Imam Siraj Wahhaj's daughter's interview

2013-08-20T00:33:00.002-07:00

As Salaamu alaikum!

There are so many things taking place right now and I vow to keep you guys updated, I jut wish I could divide my time more effectively in order to accomplish way more. Everyone's telling me to slow down but my brain won't rest until I can check off these goals faster than adding on more. Okay enough about me. LOL.

So, Alhamdulillah I am the host for The Halal Businesses TV Show and we did a segment entitled "Author's Spotlight". Boy was I excited! I just love everything about productions, from set, to filming, to editing, to launching. It truly is one of my passions (I know I have so many, right?)

So I wanted to share this show with you because one of the interviewees was my very own sister, Subhanah Wahhaj. Subhanah is the author of her memoir "How I Found Myself In Egypt" and my dad loves it soooo much that he is the official spokesperson/distributor! Yaaaaay!

I personally witnessed some of my sister's struggles growing up but, just as my dad expressed, I didn't know that she was dealing with so much turmoil all alone. ALHAMDULILLAH, now Allah is allowing her to turn her once pain into passion and profits. Subhanah is speaking her truth and Allah is blessing this entire project. Mashallah!

I Have A Treat For You!

2013-07-27T14:54:00.001-07:00

As Salaamu alaikum! I pray you are at your absolute best during this blessed month of Ramadhan. I must say it begins to become bitter/sweet for me. As we're moving towards the last ten days of Ramadhan I look forward to kicking into high gear while searching for Lailah Tul-Qadr but on the other hand I know shaitan is coming back with a vengeance. Mashallah, so please remember me and my family especially during the last ten nights as we begin our quest for the most powerful night known to man! Well let's get right to it. So as you know I have my own T.V. show called The Hujrah Wahhaj Show, Alhamdulillah. I am also the executive producer for the show and the assistant executive director at Taqwa Productions Studios. So, I will be inviting my dad, Imam Siraj Wahhaj, to get an official interview on the Hujrah Wahhaj Show and I need your help! I want to ask him questions that you need answered! Far too often people have contacted me and expressed how hard it is to get in contact with him. Now's your chance to get your questions asked! This interview will be especially for you and I really want to make this special! Thank you for your continued support and encouragement. I truly look forward to meeting you!
Until we meet again...Happy Blogging!

MY DAD TOLD ME I HAD 60 SECONDS! ICNA 2013

2013-05-28T07:56:00.001-07:00

Good Morning, Well, I must say this is the best news I've had in a long time and of course I want to share it with you! So I just returned from ICNA (Islamic Circle of North America) convention 2013 this past Memorial Weekend in Connecticut and it was absolutely the best one I've ever attended. I spent the entire weekend listening to scholars such as Imam Siraj Wahhaj, Imam Omar Suleiman, Ustadh Nouman Ali Khan, Sheikh Yasr Qadhi, Imam Suhaib Webb, Dr Altaf Hussain, Dr Jamal Badawi, Ustadh Wisam Sharieff, Imam Zaid Shakir, Naim Beigg and so much more! I even had the pleasure to attend the entertainment portion which featured artists such as Native Deen's Joshua Salaam, Comedian Omar Regan, Poet G.I. Jaaber, and Hamza Siddiqui. And all I can say is Awesome! Awesome! Awesome! So here's the part that calls for all of the exclamation points and excitement. After the keynote session entitled, "Islam: The Pursuit of Happiness", my dad rushed off the stage to where I was sitting and said "I just talked to Nouman Ali Khan and told him you need 60 seconds of his time. You have 60 seconds, go". Subhanallah, I grabbed my pocketbook and my 3 year old daughter and flew to the stage. I introduced myself to Ustadh Nouman Ali Khan giving him a 30 second spill about my teen program Q.u.e.e.n. Inc and about a young woman who was accepted to his program "Bayyinah Dream" but didn't have the $7750 to attend and this is all he asked. "Is she African American"? I responded, "Yes". "Where does she live"? "Atlanta, Ga". "Can you vouch for her"? "Yes, she's brilliant". "Tell Fatima Lette she has been fully sponsored for Bayyinah Dream Intensive 2013! Subhnallah!!! I couldn't get to my room fasted enough to cry. I poured my heart out to Allah thanking him for allowing me to witness this blessing for 19 year old Fatima who wanted nothing more than to attend this Quran Intensive program! Subhanallah! Fatima Lette is a 19 yr old Psychology student who dedicates her life to help serve humanity. She is the founder of her own Youth organization, regularly feeds the homeless, gets involved in all sorts of causes to benefit humanity, and is one of the most giving, humble, peaceful human beings I have ever met. I am so honored and happy to witness Fatima's Bayyinah Dream come true! She worked so hard for this. We must empower our youth. They are the future and need our assistance! That "60 second elevator speech" changed a young Muslim's life and I am forever grateful to Allah to witness her blessing! Please Keep my Nouman Ali Khan, my dad, and dear Fatima in your dua as she embarks on a journey that will change her life and the lives of those she touches. For all of you participated in Fatima's fundraiser (whether by donating money, sharing her donation website, or simply making dua) may you receive a piece of every reward Fatima attains by helping to make this come true! Amin! Until we meet again... Happy Blogging! I'll attach a link to Nouman Ali Khan's Bayyinah website. http://bayyinah.com/dream/ For more FREE inspiring articles that will add value to your life visit http://hujrahwahhaj.com/ and be sure to like my page here.

May Allah Grant My Sister Jannah Tul-Firdaus (Repost)

2013-05-03T16:15:00.000-07:00

Today I attended my sister's annual ceremony which awards scholarships to students who resembled Basma in character and academic achievement and Mashallah we were able to get a picture of the tree they planted in her name. In honor of my sister Basma T Wahhaj, I wanted to repost this article with The Basma T Wahhaj Tree. I hope you guys like it and Please remember me in your dua. I sure can use it! Asalamu alaikum my Beloved Souls,

For many of you who know me personally, know that I'm pretty cheerful and laugh alot because research shows 1 minute of anger weakens the immune system for 5 hours while 1 minute of laughter boosts the immune system for 24 hours. But today, I was inspired to share with you a personal story that still affects The Wahhaj family to this day. Allow me to open up to you in a way which will probably be a one time only thing, as this blog Insha'Allah will continue to be lighthearted and fun.

My sister Basma Wahhaj, Subhanallah was truly one of a kind. She always, I mean, always smiled. She spoke good words or remained silent. Her heart, Mashallah was pure as it was reflected in her deeds and character and everyone bore witness to this. Everywhere we went people that knew her said only good things about her and to this day it has been 100% consistent, Alhamdulillah.

My sister Basma Wahhaj gave birth to her daughter Maryam Sakinah Hinson, 16 years ago. After delivery, Basma suffered from post partum depression, something that affects most mothers shortly after the birth of their child. She was sleep deprived, had fatigue, and eventually loss touch with reality because of the prolonged lack of sleep. Basma started scaring us when she began saying things like "I'm ready to have the baby" and "I'm ready to go the hospital". My mother's concern peaked when the calls she received from Basma in the middle of the night started increasing. "She didn't sound like herself" my mother maintained, so my mom decided we needed to all chip in to help Basma adjust to her new title of motherhood and thought it would be best if she stayed with us until her postpartum subsided. My mom called everybody to her house and we spent the next couple of days and nights caring for her and her new bright-eyed baby girl. Allah fashioned it, that we all got to spend the last days with our beloved Sr Basma Wahhaj filled with joy and happiness. Although, she laughed and smiled with us we knew she wasn't 100% fully present because she was doing some strange things.

One night Basma woke up out of her sleep saying, La illaha illah lah Muhammad dur rasulullah, Allah give me Sakinah, La illaha illah lah Muhammad dur rasulullah, Allah give me Sakinah. She just kept saying it over and over again. We all woke up and was trying to talk to her but she wouldn't respond. She just kept trying to get to her daughter Maryam who was in the crib in my mother's room. La illaha illah lah Muhammad dur rasulullah, Allah give me Sakinah as she tried to push pass my mother with extra force to get to her daughter. My mother was scared she was going to hurt the baby, but we realized Basma was only trying to say goodbye because she knew she was leaving the Earth that day and she probably just wanted to hold her one last time . Subhanallah, tears are filling my eyes this very moment just thinking about that emotional day. I watched the love of a dying mom try to use her last bit of force and energy just to look at her baby girl one last time, Subhanallah Ya Allah please grant her Jannah tul-Firdaus.

My mom woke up my sister and brother-in-law as they quickly got Basma into the car and headed to the hospital. My brothers and sisters and I waited and waited and waited for hours, but got no word. We prayed and worried and prayed some more. Finally, several hours later, I heard my mom outside crying. My mother had her share of crying in her life, but I never ever saw my mother cry like this before. It was like her soul was crying. I flew down the stairs to find out what happened as I didn't see Basma get out of the car. When I got down stairs my mother could not speak, she just sat down on the couch with tears streaming down her face. My sister told us that Basma didn't make it to the hospital, that she kept repeatng the shahadah until she was quiet and still. When they reached the hospital, she was blue in color and gone. That day, was like no other day we've ever experienced. I can't explain to you what we felt. It's like we were hit with a fast tornado with no preparations or warning, Subhanallah.

The support of the Ummah was unbelievable. The news traveled faster then you could ever imagine. People were in and out of our home offering everything under the Sun in support of our loss. The phone calls didn't stop. It was unbelievable. We gathered the strength to perform her Janazaa which was packed from wall to wall. I could tell my dad was trying to be strong for us but he enlisted another Imam to be present at her Janazaa just in case he couldn't go through with it as he was going to perform it. Subhanallah the next days, weeks, months, would be filled with us trying to adjust, be supportive to our mother, and figure out how we would help to raise this beautiful new born left without her mom.

The school she attended started a scholarships in her name which is given to a student who resembles her in character and academia achievements every year, called The Basma T Wahhaj Scholarship Award. Her school also planted a tree in her name which is on campus and fully blossoming. (I'll upload a picture at another time insha'allah). Her school also cleared her debt on their own because they absolutely loved Basma. They said she impacted students and teachers and left a positive long-lasting affect on their campus, one that they will never forget, Subhanallah. Her daughter Maryam sakinah Hinson, for those of you who know her Alhamdulillah, knows she has a beautiful soul, caring, compassionate, and really really really fears and loves Allah. Subhanallah, when I speak to her I forget sometimes that I'm speaking to a 16 year old. She's sharp, humble, and so concerned with others, but she misses her mom. She always asks about her character. She tries to hide it but she has a sadness in her because she never met her mom. You can tell when people are sad. They don't even have to open their mouth. This is why I make it my business to spend as much time as I can with her to encourage, support, and motivate her. She loves Allah dearly and I stress that Allah loves her too, but I was saddened when she told me years ago, that she thought Allah didn't love her because if He did why did He take away her mom. Alhamdulillah, she was really young then, now she's alot older and understands. Everyone loves her, and I believe Allah has a special plan for her. Please keep her in your dua's because helping a servant like that could only get you good deeds as Allah says He helps those who helps his righteous servants and fight against those who fight against His righteous servants.

I wanted to share with you guys because although my sister died at a young age 21, and one week after her childbirth she left a long lasting impact on this Earth. Look at all the Sadaqah Jariyah (continued good deeds on your account even though you're no longer alive) she's receiving : A righteous child who makes dua for her, A tree and a scholarship which continues to benefit others although she is no longer alive, she passed away in childbirth (which is considered a Shahadah who goes straight to Paradise), and she was able to say the Kalimah Shahadah in her last moment (also a sign that she goes straight to Paradise). SUBHANALLAH, and this is just what Allah revealed to us, who knows what other blessing lies between her and Allah.

You guys, I want to ask you today what will they say about you when you're gone? Seriously ask yourself, what will they say about your character? Remember, when a person passes away, whatever the people say about him, the Angels say Amin for 40 days. For some of us our Islam is in our clothes or speech, we pride ourselves on the outside but the inside sucks. There are some sisters who passed away who I thought were righteous especially because of their outer appearance and after they passed away I couldn't believe the horrible things I've heard about them. May Allah save us. Allah sees what happens behind closed doors. We can fool each other with eloquent speech but we can never fool Allah. Sometimes, Allah exposes us in dreams. Subhanallah, I had very specific dreams about people whom I know personally and respect and others who I don't know personally about things that I later found out were true. May Allah save us.

How many years do you think you will get? What are you spending your time doing? If someone who you respect right now was to sit with you all day and observe your character, what would they say about you. If you have a secret camera hidden in your home that would later be displayed on national television in front of everyone would you honestly be content? Of course we won't. We're human, we're not perfect. But are we trying? Do we have sincere intentions? Are we amongst those whom Allah speaks about who always leave good everywhere they go? What will the Earth say about you when you leave?

My brothers and sisters we don't know when Allah will call us home. If Allah blesses you with a trust such as husbands, wives, children, parents, etc please honor your trusts from Him. We are only loans to each other, we belong to Allah. If you borrowed your car from a friend wouldn't you return it with a full tank, polished, in tiptop shape? So why do we beat each other down, tear each other up and return each other to Allah in worse condition then when He gave them to us? Please brothers and sisters, use my sisters example as an encouraging one. If you haven't up until now, start today to look at your heart in full honesty and ask yourself what is it's condition? If you don't know whats in your heart look at your actions, the answer is there. How much longer do you have? Better yet, if Allah called you home today and said I'll give you Jannah, but in order to get Jannah I'm going to send someone new to Earth who will be your ticket to Jannah. This person will talk, speak, think, and act just like you. They will deal and interact with people in the same manner as you. You will watch this person but can say nothing. How would you feel watching this person everyday, hopeful or hopeless. Guess what, you have the chance today. Watch yourself, check yourself, address your issues so that you will also leave your mark once Allah calls you home.

Thank you for allowing me to share. I hope I inspired you in some way. Please make dua for my family we are continuously making dua for you.

Until we meet again....Happy Blogging! For more FREE inspiring articles that will add value and quality to your life click here and to win FREE advertisement on The Hujrah Wahhaj Show click here.

Effective Commuication

2013-05-03T05:33:00.001-07:00

One thing I admire about my dad is that he is a great communicator! I always take notes of his communication style during his speaking engagements but I pay closest attention when he's not on stage. It's amazing how he is able to hold a conversation with anyone about anything (something I am actively learning to do). It's something about the way Imam Siraj Wahhaj communicates his genuineness to people that make them love him. If only we can become great communicators in our everyday relationships to express love to one another, we would all be a lot happier! I hope you enjoy this article inspired by my effective communicator dad, Imam Siraj Wahhaj. I was researching effective ways to communicate with your spouse when I came across this article, which is one of the most prolific articles I've ever read. A man said after five years of controlling his wife and criticizing everything she did his marriage healed the night he said "I'm sorry". He said he never allowed his wife the right to complain without paying a huge price, and this destroyed their intimacy. Now he has learned that nothing makes his wife feel more secure than being a selfless, sensitive, verbally affectionate husband who is the leader in spirituality, romance, finance, and children. His advice: Create a safe atmosphere for your spouse to be real. The safest place for her to discuss her problems should be with you. Never use anything your spouse tells you in confidentiality against her, ie divulge it or use it against her in an argument because she'll never open up to you again. Never reject your spouse, rejection is the worst emotion a human being can feel and she will make it her life mission to be sure you feel her pain. Men would much rather spend time with their spouse if they're having fun. If you're not meeting your spouse's needs today she won't be optimistic about your future and you won't get the best out of her if she is insecure about her future. Security for a woman is when her man is attached, connected, committed, and sacrifices to meet her needs. Remember to speak each other's language and LOVE is THE best feeling any human being can feel. He also states during his pre-marital counseling sessions many couples decided not to move forward with the wedding after having them fill out an extensive pre-marital questionnaire realizing they were extremely incompatible. He wasn't surprised because nowadays many couples on the verge of marriage focus more on planning the wedding of their dreams instead of asking real questions such as where they will live, how many kids they want, who will be in charge of the finances, who makes the final decisions, etc. According to research from the University of Washington who has a 93% accuracy, the number one predictor of divorce is criticism. Keep in mind sometimes we carry around emotional pre-existing baggage that if not addressed can also be a number one predictor of divorce. This is a pastor who has turned his marriage around, is best friends with his wife and has "the greatest relationship" because he "was beaten up pretty badly" trying to reject the inherited differences between men and women. He is one of the best marriage counselors to date. WOW! Great advice! As I was reading this article I thought to myself wow, after five years of destroying his marriage by never apologizing when he was wrong, criticizing his wife, and making her pay a huge price for complaining, he was holding his relationship hostage. All the love he is now experiencing is because he learned (the hard way), that if he wants the sweetness of marriage it behooved him to learn how to effectively communicate love to his wife. Effectively communicating love to your spouse means you must become humble, very humble. You must be quiet, listen, analyze, and find out who your spouse is and how she communicates love to you. In Lyn Hunt's book Communication in a Relationship: Top tips on how to improve your communication skills to build a long lasting, loving relationship she explains that effective communication is at the heart of all great relationships and gives some of the best top tips on how to build a loving relationship through your mate's communication style. Only if we can get all couples to see how important it is for them to learn this skill to have more love, want to spend more time with each other and have all their friends telling them how much they're glowing because their relationships is just that great! No two people think the same so in a marriage it is important to remember that you are always learning your spouse who is a growing adult and constantly changing. If you do not grow with your spouse and learn her communication style you will be at the bad end of a frustrated wife who feels unappreciated and like her husband doesn't get her. This pastor has "mastered" his wife's language so he knows how to get the best out of her which encouraged her to master his language so she can get the best out of him. Now, because this couple makes it a priority to effectively communicate love to each other in their language, they have reached a joyful place in their marriage where they genuinely love and appreciate one another. Stay tuned for an extensive pre-marital questionnaire to find out if your husband/wife to be is the best fit for you. Good Luck and may your marriage be filled with joy, blessings, peace, happiness, prosperity, and longevity.

The first time I saw my dad cry.

2013-04-21T15:51:00.000-07:00

Good Evening Precious souls,

So many of you know I started this blog as a fun way of showing the world a lighter side of Imam Siraj Wahhaj and his family. Everyone knows and loves the inspirational, profound, eloquent, world renowned speaker and spiritual leader, but many don't know the cool, laid back, hilarious, fun Imam Siraj like I do. So I wanted to reminisce with you about the very first time I saw my dad cry.

One of my older sister's was getting married and of course dad was the Imam of ceremonies, and father of the bride. Well, during the ceremony all the guests began to get choked up. It was so emotional knowing that my sister had found her Soul Mate. My sister was the last to believe in Soul mates, but when she found her (now husband), she knew instantly that they were meant for eachother.

It was such a beautiful wedding. All our loved ones and friends were present to witness my sister enter into her new title as wife. The spirit of the wedding was love, love, and more love. I guess it was so beautiful because this particular sister was never into romance, horse and carriage, or fairytale love stories, so to witness this beautiful day full of all the things she never really believed in was... awesome. :)

Well, not only was the tears flowing down our faces, but my dad got a little teary-eyed as well. Right in the middle of the ceremony my dad had to stop for a quick second to wipe his tears! I couldn't believe it! Not dad. My dad is ALWAYS laughing. Our relationship is full of jokes and light discussions about current affairs. I've never seen my dad cry before this event. Wow! I was amazed and I managed to snap the pic in the midst of my tears and I'm sure someone caught it on video.

Awwwwe, love can do that for you. Love today. Express Love. Don't withhold your Love, for surely it is a beautiful thing to witness. Enjoy your family and capture the moments because you don't know when you'll have to say good bye.

Love Changes Everything.

2013-04-19T06:43:00.001-07:00

Love changes all.

I picked up my dad from the airport and we had one of our usual awesome conversations. We laughed, joked around and began talking about different things that's happening in the community and abroad.

I told my dad that I don't know how he does it. I told him after two years of traveling I'm pretty tired and I respect him so much for doing what he does for years. I told him when I become a Milloinaire I will retire him and mom so that he can just put his feet up. He told me "thank you, but we are employees of Allah we don't retire". WOW! Amazing response! And so true!

Then I thought to myself I don't have time to be tired. I want more people to love themselves, feel loved, and give more love! Love inspired me to write this article and I pray it does just that! I hope you like it!

I’ve traveled to many countries and met incredible people. No matter what language, ethnicity, gender, social class, or religion, the commonality amongst all people is the desire to be loved.

Love changes everything. I’m in no way speaking about the glamorous type of love depicted in Hollywood by high paid actors who all too often don’t have what they display so well on the big screen. I’m speaking about genuine love for humanity. Pure love. Love that says you are property of The Creator so I will honor you because I respect creation.

We don’t respect the creation. We disengage ourselves from the world and only truly get involved when adversities hit home. This is not genuine love. I’m not saying everyone has to become a superhero humanitarian set out to save the world. I am suggesting however that we begin to breed love in our hearts for one another.

We must want for each other what we want for ourselves. This will make the difference between merely existing in a world and living in this life. Genuine love will hold you accountable to make real changes that will change this society. Genuine love will produce real results that will help combat many of our pathologies. Love can and will change lives.

How much love are you withholding? Can you give more love to yourself, your family, your community, humanity? I think you can. I don’t believe you will ever be at a place where you can’t dig deeper to shovel out more love. Love begets love just as good begets good.

Try it today. Spend an entire day professing genuine love and displaying it through acts of kindness. Sweep a neighbors sidewalk, help an elder with groceries, give up your seat for a pregnant woman, volunteer your time at a nursing home or children’s hospital. This will only beget good.

Take notice of the responses you receive. I guarantee each person you affect will turn around and affect others with the genuine love you initiated. And you my dear will be at the receiving and of all the great benefits that will stem from this.

I love you, even if we never meet. I genuinely appreciate and love you.

What your Children may be facing!

2013-04-18T15:34:00.000-07:00

I had the pleasure of delivering my speech in L.A. about some of our young women's trials. Sometimes parents don't know the extent of their children's pain so I decided to read their letters on stage. The audience was left in awe by the letters and I vow to make sure our girls have the support and resources they need to thrive.

Join me in my mission of saving OUR young women!

I was so nervous as this was the very first live speech with my dad. :)

I JUST DON'T CARE.

2013-03-18T08:33:00.000-07:00

I just don’t care. Why do we procrastinate? What it is about that to do list that makes us wait to the very last minute? Why do the majority of people procrastinate? The number one reason is simply because we don’t care. We’re not excited about the task or goal at hand. We’re not excited enough about it to lose sleep over or jump out of our bed. Life is happening to us and we’re just reluctantly going along. Now don’t get me wrong, there are everyday mundane things we must do that won’t excite us like ironing clothes or studying for an upcoming exam. However, if we simply change the meaning we attach to the goal (ie, give your goals a meaning you care about) you will do it more excitingly and live life with more juice. Reasons For Procrastinating: Ironing clothes is boring but if you’re launching a major project that you’ve worked so hard on, or you’re about to catch a flight to a Hawaiian vacation you’ve been looking forward to all year, ironing clothes will be a total different experience. Studying for an exam on a subject that intrigues you so much you won’t want to put the textbook down will deliver a different experience than studying some boring required subject you’ll probably never use again. It’s the experiences we live and work for. The bottom line is most of us are not living a life with juice. We stagnate, drag, and barely make it through the day because we just don’t care about what we’re doing. We find that we must do what needs to get done, reluctantly and our experiences are joyless and for some, full of regret. Two more common reasons we procrastinate are fear and a lack of knowledge of how to get “there.” As for fear, everyone at some point in their lives face fear. Whether it's fear of success or failure the secret is the top successful people has figured out a way, or paid someone, to show them how to move in spite of fear. That’s it. That’s the big mystery solved. The fear you have of failure, success, or the unknown never truly dissipates. You just need to learn how to manage it well enough so that it does not stop you or your visions, and certainly not your mission. As for not knowing how to get “there”, I’d like to propose a question. If I asked you the quickest way to get to Egypt and you’ve never been there could you give me an accurate answer? Of course not. Guessing would be a waste of time so the best thing to do is to equip yourself with a map or compass ie, people with experience such as mentors, life coaches, or guidance counselors, parents, or friends that will hold you accountable for your actions and encourage you to propel forward regardless of what your circumstances look like today. The bottom line is you have to live for yourself. You must decide to walk down your path. Find true meaning and purpose for your life and goals, purify your intentions, equip yourself with a good map and proper guidance, take action today even if it's just a step, and surround yourself with people who will hold you accountable when you need it the most and cheer you on until the end! Life will begin to look different for you as it has for so many people before you struggling through the same test and you will find that you will begin accomplishing goals way before they are almost due!

My visit to L.A. with my dad was incredible. For the first time I was on the same panel as my dad as a speaker. He made me cry when he told everyone how proud he was of me. I cannot express the amount of gratitude I have for Allah to allow me to do the work that I do. Surely this is a trust from Allah and I pray I fulfill my mission in the most humble and favorable way. We must fulfill our mission. Allah has tailor made a specific task that only you can fulfill. What talents and gifts are you holding hostage from the community due to fear? Fear is only a feeling. Please stand up and walk in the path that Gad has chosen for you. There are so many people who need what you offer but they cannot find you because you have yet to step into your light. Step, walk, crawl, but just move! For a chance to win FREE advertisement on The Hujrah Wahhaj Show like my page here and stay tuned for up-coming contest.

Wings sent from up above.

2012-01-17T10:44:00.000-08:00

There are two types of people that will come into your life. One who will help you accomplish your goals or one who will hinder you from accomplishing your goals. I look at them as your wings. The one who hinders you make you bold and strong because of the harsh lessons you'll learn. This wing gives you strength to overcome obstacles & challenges. The one who helps you gives you comfort and repose, you understand they were placed in your life as a gift from Allah. Ever notice a plane using the most force when it takes off but after it reaches its targeted altitude its smoothe sailing? That's how I look at these two wings. They balance you and give you that extra power to take off but eventually Allah will clip that wing that hinders you and replace it with another helper so that you will soar in peace and harmony like you never did before. Embrace every part of your journey, the one who helps and the one who hinders.

I thank my dad Imam Siraj Wahhaj. He is definitely a wing who helps me. When I was a little girl my dad took me and my siblings along with him to do his fiery speeches and powerful lectures. At that age I didn't know the magnitude of Imam Siraj Wahhaj, I just looked forward to the road trips and the free food we ate at the various venues. One thing I will always remember though is my dad used to always pound the podium when he spoke to an audience. I wasn't paying attention to what he saying most of the time during those days but he always seem to catch and hold my attention along with the audiences when he did that.

Now, today my passion for Change, my hopes and aspirations to uplift the banner of Islam is a direct result of this wing Allah sent to me. Thank you dad, mom, my sisters and brothers, Tahirah Talib- Din, and all the wings sent to strengthen and help me reach my fullest potential. May your paths be filled with love, peace, joy, and success.

My dad is so SILLY!!!

2011-11-05T18:04:00.000-07:00

As salaamu alaikum my Beloveds,

Alhamdulillah, my last post about my sister was so well received by you guys. I thank you from the bottom of my heart for allowing me to share a very intimate moment with you. May Allah bless you for your kindness, dua, and support........Now, back to the fun times! As I stated before, this blog will continue to be fun and light-hearted, giving you all the things you don't know about Imam Siraj Wahhaj!

My dad is crazy. He just is. He looooves to laugh. We have this thing where we compete to make eachother laugh the hardest when I take him to and from the airport, which by the way, I USUALLY WIN LOL!

So, a couple days ago my stepmom and I were having a conversation. My dad walks in and starts his stuff. He interrupts our conversation by telling my stepmom to tell me what happened the other day. My stepmom started laughing saying "No Siraj, you so silly, I'm not telling her". Tickled all over he could hardly get the words out. Finally, they told me what happened and I wont repeat it, but it was hilarious!!!! We all fell out laughing. My dad and stepmom was in tears. I had stomache cramps from laughing so hard.

My dad went to warm up the car while he waited for my stepmom. I remembered I had to tell him something so I walked to his car, he rolled down his windows and had tears rolling down his cheeks, still laughing from what just happened in the house. I said "dad, what's going on?" My dad was in the car by himself in tears laughing so hard about what just happened upstairs. I said "Dad, I think it's time for you to retire, poor baby, it finally caught up to you huh? This is what years of community service left you, locked in a car by yourself laughing with yourself? We laughed even more! Another great moment in The Wahhaj Household

MY DAD WAS IN TEARS.

2011-08-31T11:59:00.000-07:00

As Salaamu Alaikum Beloveds,

First, EID MUBARAK!!! Alhamdulillah we made it through another year of Allah's Mercy. That Alone should be celebrated. It was such a pleasure seeing you all at Masjid At-Taqwa in good spirits. May Allah allow us all to meet again next year in better spirits and should we be amongst those who don't make it, May Allah cover us in His Mercy and ONLY meet us in His PLEASURE. AMIN.

I want to share this quick story with you as we say farewell to Ramadhan. I picked my dad up from the airport and we have this little thing where we compare stories to try to make each other laugh the most. I USUALLY WIN LOL, just kidding but this one left us both in tears.

My dad said many years ago when me and my siblings were very young, he called the house and I was speaking to him on the phone. (He forgot what the conversation was about but he remembered it was during Ramadhan). Then he asked me to put my older brother Ibn on the phone. As soon as Ibn came to the phone he said to my dad, "I wasn't going to eat it". My dad replies "eat what?" Ibn says, "I wasn't going to eat the toast I just made, I was going to save it for Iftar" LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL OHHHH MYYYY GOD, ME AND MY DAD BUST OUT IN LAUGHTER AS WE WERE FLYING DOWN THE JACKIE ROBINSON!!I guess he brought himself back to that day because he laughed and laughed and I laughed until we had tears."People always tell on themselves" he said as we enjoyed another moment in The Wahhaj Household.

I asked my dad if Ibn would remember this story. He said he doesn't know. I surely will call him to ask. Just another day in the life of The Wahhaj's.

Until we meet again.....Happy Blogging!

They tried to set my dad up!

2011-07-17T10:00:00.000-07:00

As salaamu alaikum my Beloveds,

You know what gets me? Look at all the evil, hard hearted people out there who hurt and destroy people on a daily basis and are left alone. Now turn your attention to a man who' s priority is serving Allah by inspiring and changing the masses, yet they constantly try to set him up.

For all of you who was absent this Friday, my dad shared his experience during Jumm'ah which left members asking this question 'why don't they just leave Imam Siraj Wahhaj alone?' Well, here' s my answer. You know how they say if you have haters you must be doing something right? Well, if you use your life to serve Allah at your fullest capacity and Allah loves you, naturally satan and his followers will hate you.

A young "brother" and I use the term brother loosely, approached my dad recently with some very radical views. Since my dad knew him and his father, my dad was trying to give him sincere advice to stay away from those views and anyone else who shared those views. The 'brother' then started talking crazy to my stepbrother which my stepbrother found out he was a known FBI agent. He tried to set up my dad in the worst way but when Allah got your back, He'll block all the haters, satans, jinns, and everything else up in there.

Being an employee of Allah is the best job we can ever have! We have top pay, impeccable benefits, and the most compassionate, understanding, and patient boss ever. Don't get tempted to cash in on your stocks, for you hold one of the most rewarding stocks in this industry. Let's pray we pass our final evaluation and get that promotion we've all been working so hard for.

Don't be gullible to think agents are not in our midst. Keep your connection so tight to Allah that you could close your eyes and smell the agents coming before they turn the corner. Allah is everything, everything else is nothing. Until we meet again, happy blogging!
