Friday Night Reflections: Lighting the Spark - Shaping Minds of Tomorrow

We are pleased to be joined this week by President Ameerally Kassim-Lakha providing an update on recent developments and our collective response to the pandemic.

We also commemorate World Teachers’ Day by celebrating the educators in our Jamat at the heart of efforts to reimagine the future. Dr. Nadia Eboo Jamal, a historian at the Institute of Ismaili Studies, provides a glimpse into Mawlana Hazar Imam's vision for world-class, rigorous education about our faith, its values, and the vast civilizations it has inspired.

Host Asif-Aly Penwala, along with fellow STEP teachers Mezhgan Hakimy, Fatima Kaba and Fayyaz Ali, describe the calling to help shape future minds, the sources of their inspiration, and the opportunities they have been granted to work with Jamats around the world.
