Living with Purpose Every Day
Yaser El-Waly has been living in Perth, Western Australia for most of his life as an adult, and his faith in Islam forms the core values that drive him in everything he does. Being a West Australian man of about fifty, Yaser looks at life as a journey to be able to worship Allah and do all his responsibilities with integrity. His faith in Islam is not reserved for special occasions but is embedded in daily activities done with dedication.
Interest in Deen during the previous years by Yaser has grown with time. Yaser tends to look at religion as an element which makes people modest and not proud. As one learns about religion, there is the burden of responsibility which comes along with it.
Thoughtful Guidance for Everyday Life
However, the problems that arise regarding Yaser El-Waly are more related to daily problems and not religious problems. The questions are raised to him concerning issues in regards to family responsibilities or hard decisions, which need to be made, or when one is lost and needs some direction. Yaser prefers to listen first before giving guidance from the teachings of the Qur'an and Sunnah.
Yaser El-Waly talks about patience like talking about an issue that he has experienced personally, and not something he just studied theoretically. His lectures are always inclined toward making people think about their motives and being honest in whatever they do since their deeds shall be judged by Allah all the time.
Service That Begins Close to Home
Yaser El-Waly thinks that strong communities are created out of strong families. He often speaks about respect for parents, compassion at home, and keeping good relations with family members, as he sees them as responsibilities that require daily attention.
Other than family matters, Yaser is involved in the Muslim community of Perth through teaching, mentoring and charity work. He sees this involvement as an integral part of Islamic faith and service provided sincerely rather than publicly.
Steadiness Over Recognition
Anyone who knows Yaser El-Waly will be aware that there is no disparity between the man’s values when he is in various environments. He will behave the same whether talking about Deen, backing a worthy cause, or spending time with his family.
In the case of this man from Western Australia, the attributes of being a leader, humility, discipline, philanthropy, and giving back to the community start with being true to one’s faith in Allah.
