In 1991 Imam Siraj offered an invocation (opening prayer) to the United States House of Representatives. He was the first Muslim to do so. In 1988 he led his community in an anti-drug patrol in which they staked out drug houses in Bedford-Stuyvesant in the cold of winter for 40 days and nights, forcing the closure of 15 drug houses.
