Siraj Wahhaj – The Currency of the Hereafter

About this lecture

In this powerful lecture, Imam Siraj Wahhaj uses the concept of currency as a metaphor to remind believers that the only wealth that truly belongs to us is what we spend in the way of Allah — because at death, all worldly possessions are left behind, and only our deeds remain. Drawing on Quranic ayat, hadith, and real-world examples, he urges Muslims to urgently "exchange" their worldly currency for the currency of the hereafter through good deeds, sadaqah, and worship. The lecture is followed by a wide-ranging Q&A covering topics including zakat, the Nation of Islam, halal food, Islamic schools, hijab, imagery in Islam, and more.
