News headlines both locally and worldwide - are constantly headlines of corruption, money laundering, bribes.

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.

1:42:43 How to get in touch with Muhammad Javed

Since October 2023, the world has witnessed the horrors of the gen0cide and mass murders taking place in Pale$tine, specifically in G@za. As we speak, isr@el has killed more than 37,000 civilians - mostly women and children - in addition to over 80,000 severely injured. In an unprecedented act of violence, isr@el has dropped over 70,000 tons of bombs on the strip, exceeding World War 2 bombings in Dresden, Hamburg and London combined. Despite gaining notorious attention from all over the world, with international communities negatively labelling isr@el’s actions as ethnic cleansing & gen0cide, and multiple peaceful attempts at a ceasefire, there seems to be no end in sight for the atrocities being committed against the people of Pale$tine, including civilians in the West B@nk, which is particularly painful for us Muslims, as we witness the crimes perpetrated on the holy ground of Al-Aqsa.

With these horrific acts, many around the world are forced to watch in horror. Some questioning God, wondering “where is the Help of Allah”? Why is He allowing these to take place? Why aren’t the nations stepping up to stop this violence?

And after 8 months of non-stop horror, some have lost hope, or even start to feel jaded as if they can no longer be bothered.

In this episode of the Barakah Effect, join us as we discuss:

What should we do, as Muslims? What is our attitude in facing this situation, as we helplessly watch our brothers and sisters being massacred in these holy lands? What role do we have to play, and how do we understand this in the right perspective to see it from the Wisdom of Allah?

Pernahkah anda terfikir: Bagaimana caranya menjadi sahabat sejati Al-Quran? Apa yang bezakan seseorang yang hanya membaca Al-Quran dengan yang benar-benar menghidupkannya dan hidup bersamanya setiap hari?

How has your Iman and Ibadah been post-Ramadan?

For our final episode in our series on Treasures from Quran this Ramadan, join us as we hear brother Syahmi share his reflections from Surah Ad-Duha: How Allah comforts the Prophet ﷺ in his times of sadness, reassuring him that He has not neglected him.

An old man once asked the Prophet ﷺ to teach him to recite the Quran. Encountering initial difficulty in reciting, the old man requested the Prophet ﷺ to teach him a comprehensive surah, to which the Prophet ﷺ then taught him surah Al-Zalzalah.

Surah Kawthar, a short surah in the Quran, yet it is considered one of the greatest gifts to our Prophet ﷺ.
