Call for America’s Imam Day this Friday to Raise Funds for Imam Siraj’s Cancer Fund

26.000 K. for Imam Siraj al-Humdulillah, a Call for an “America’s Imam Day” by Shaykh Suhaib Webb

My dear friend, Shaykh Suhaib Webb had the following Call for an America’s Imam Day, to designate this upcoming Friday (and/or the next one) across different communities (and, I’d add, campuses) to raise funds for Imam Siraj Wahhaj, who has been diagnosed with prostrate cancer and has very high medical bills not covered by insurance…

Asalamu alaykum,

Last week the Muslim youth in America pulled off an amazing fundraiser for Imam Siraj Wahaj. While 26 K. was donated we are still well short of our goal of $125.000.

The Idea:

Muslim organizations could call for “America’s Imam Day” designating a Friday where funds could be raised for the Imam across the country! It would be awesome if others such as our brothers in the U.K got on board as well. Let us all write, call and encourage our organizations like ISNA, ICNA, MAS, MSA,MAP, RIC, MYNA, al-Maghrib, Seekers Guidance and Zaytuna to make this call together.

I fully second this, and would urge those involved in their mosques or MSA’s to take the steps to make this Friday’s fundraising drive directed towards raising funds for Imam Siraj Wahhaj. See: http://www.helpimamsiraj.com/
