In a community striving for change, how do we navigate differing opinions on the most effective ways to contribute? Activist and speaker Kamal Elmekki delivers a powerful reminder against the divisive nature of belittling the efforts of others, using the simple, potent example of wearing a mask not for oneself, but for the comfort of the person next to you.

Elmekki’s message cuts to the core of communal ethics: the principle of respecting others' efforts. He argues that whether it's political activism, boycotting, or personal choices like mask-wearing, the value of an action often lies in the intention and the comfort it provides to a fellow Muslim. The core of his argument is that respecting others' efforts is a form of spiritual empathy, a practical application of wanting for your brother what you want for yourself. True unity isn't found in universal agreement, but in respecting others' efforts even when their method differs from your own. It’s about building each other up, not tearing each other down over tactical differences.

His reflection poses a critical question to the community: When was the last time you set aside your own conviction about the "right" way to do something, and simply supported a fellow Muslim's sincere effort to contribute, and how did that strengthen your bond? Share your experiences below. 👇
