Introduction

What does it mean to be intelligent? Immediately we may think of figures like Albert Einstein and those who possess a genius-level IQ. People who have committed much to memory and have brains like computers.

Yet today, this traditional understanding of intelligence has taken a major shift - whereby those who have excelled in their IQ are being overshadowed by those who have mastered the EQ. Emotional Intelligence.

Today we are joined with Shaykh Mikaeel Ahmed Smith, a teacher at Qalam Seminary in Texas, and author of the book “With the heart in mind - the moral and emotional intelligence of the Prophet ﷺ”.

Join us, as we unravel the profound concept of emotional intelligence to not only better our lives and relationships, but to better our identity as Muslims and embodiments of the Prophetic Sunnah.
