SPECTACLE. When cruelty becomes something we watch, there’s a difference between being a witness and becoming a spectator. Social media can expose us to suffering and injustice from around the world. But seeing it raises a question that goes beyond what we’ve witnessed: What does what we’ve witnessed require of us? Full Word & Lesson available on YouTube. Link in bio. Imam Dr. Tariq I.

DUTY | Word & Lesson of the Day We’re taught to ask, “What kind of life do I want?” But there’s another question worth asking: “What does the life I already have ask of me?” ▶️ Watch the full Word & Lesson of the Day on YouTube at @TariqIElAmin. Because pursuing a dream and honoring a responsibility don’t always lead us in the same direction. #WordAndLessonOfTheDay #Duty #TariqIElAmin #ImamDrTariqIElAmin

Can engaging with someone else’s faith actually strengthen your own? In this conversation, Imam Michael “Mikal” Saahir reflects on what genuine interfaith engagement can offer when we come to the table grounded in what we believe, but also willing to listen and learn. Encounter doesn’t have to weaken conviction. Sometimes it can deepen it. What has engaging with people who believe differently taught you about your own faith?

Two denim tops. Two completely different vibes. Both designed by me. One bold and dramatic. One grounded and strong. And somehow, they look even better standing next to each other. I think I might be onto something with this His & Hers collection. 👀 Would you wear either one? #WearableArt #DenimStyle #CreativeStyle #WomenOver50Style #hisandhers With beautiful red dress by @kssdesignsllc ❤️❤️

DUTY | Word & Lesson of the Day What happens when the life you want and the responsibilities you already have don’t point in the same direction? ▶️ Watch the full Word & Lesson of the Day on YouTube at @TariqIElAmin. Link in bio. We talk a lot about pursuing our dreams, protecting our peace, and choosing what’s best for us. But responsibility can complicate that conversation. Because sometimes the question isn’t only, “What do I want?” It’s also, “What am I responsible for?” What does duty look like in your life? #WordAndLessonOfTheDay #Duty #TariqIElAmin #ImamDrTariqIElAmin

MISDIRECTION | Word & Lesson of the Day What happens when real frustration gets pointed in the wrong direction? We can be right that something isn’t working and still be wrong about who or what is responsible. Misdirection can turn people with shared struggles into opponents, while attention moves away from the people, decisions, and systems actually shaping their circumstances. So here’s the question: Who benefits when we’re looking in the wrong direction? Imam Dr. Tariq I. El-Amin #WordAndLessonOfTheDay #Misdirection #CriticalThinking #TariqIElAmin
