Through these modern times in the 21st century, emotional intelligence (often referred to as EQ) is often regarded as a superpower that can supercharge our Relationship building, stronger personal resilience, effective leadership, fostering collaboration, personal development, adaptability, empathy, and even in influencing others, and is often viewed as one of the crucial ingredients for long-term success, both personally and professionally.

But really, what IS emotional intelligence? How do we view Emotional Intelligence from the perspective of Islam? Is it compatible with the teachings of the Qur'an and Sunnah? Is it really that important?

Furthermore, with thousands of books, articles, courses, seminars on this subject matter, there are no shortage of "experts" weighing in on the subject, sometimes providing conflicting advice, or those suspiciously contradicting our Islamic values.

To enlighten us on this inspiring subject, we go for a deep dive conversation with brother Muhammad Javed, author of the book, "Nurturing Emotional Intelligence", published recently in 2023 by Dakwah Corner Bookstore.
