How to master your Emotional Intelligence | Mikaeel Ahmed Smith (Full Podcast)

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.

It’s videos like this that draw me closer and closer to taking my Shahada. This is beautiful

[@sumayyahali9004]

Take it. You only live once

[@omegatheofficial-7528]

I’m reading your comment a year later; i hope you’re doing good and you’ve made it to the right path…please take your shahada if you still haven’t May Allah guide you I wish you well

[@user-dn3rp5yl1i]

May ALLAAH guide u brother.Indeed HE ( the Almighty God) is One,who has no partners.ALLAAH ,the Sustainer needed by all n the One Who needs no one.He has never had offspring nor was He born(the Uncreated) .And there is no one comparable to Him.

[@Umbro015]

RULER: R = Recognition (recognize your and others' emotions) U = Understanding (understand your and others' emotional state) L = Label (if you can't name it, you can't tame it) E = Expression (emotions have to be articulated in the right way) R = Regulation (yes you express, but you regulate it as well - space out the stimulus and response so you can choose which response to make)

[@abigase135]

I might've missed something, could you tell me why he chose the word ruler?

[@Umbro015]

@@abigase135 I'm not sure of his particular reason, but mnemonics are typically used as a learning/memory tool. So by simply remembering "RULER", you can recall the exact steps (Recognition, Understanding, Label, Expression, Regulate) we need to think of when we're interacting with people in the middle of an emotional exchange to make sure we communicate effectively and positively. Of course, I imagine this will require a lot of active practice to master, but it will be beneficial for all of our relationships, inshaAllah. Personally, I think RULER is a great mnemonic because we must "measure" our behavior in a "measured" way 😀

[@lifeandzindagi]

@@abigase135 may be to rule on our own emotions to guide it to response positively and not insanely. RULER of our own emotions.

35:18 thats so true, when my brother was born my mom tells me that he was crying so much but once the doctor put him on my mother chest , when he felt the warmth of his mother and saw her he stoped crying immediatly! subhanallah

[@jasminasinanbegovic6225]

In my opinion it goes so, practice Ahlak....you don't have to be born as a person with characteristics of patience, easy forgiving one or anything. Even if you are not raised as such from your parents, you can raise yourself on your own. When hardship comes and you can't handle anymore, instead of complaining or cursing, sustain your tongue, practice gratitude for what you have, pray, you will avoid sinning and engage in ibadah...so you come automatically to God a bit closer. Practice it until your state of mind changes after that reality changes as well. When you want to fall in rage sustain, backup until you calm down and you know what to say calmly, it's never too late to speak....it is to late when wrong words come out. Train it the same way you go in gym, this is gym for soul

[@Sammy-yv8sf]

This the best video I’ve ever watched. I’ll forever remember this.. all that time I was going through feelings and hurt was actually valid. I was allowed to feel that way and I feel happy and insha’Allah I’d be able to move on positively R= recognise U= understanding L= label E= express R= regulate Thank you for this beautiful content, may Allah (Swt) bless you all.

[@mylordtakemeaway]

we should say, "this might be the best..." just like any other things we compare as this could unintentionally, nevertheless be a lie because there could be another video that we don't remember and that could have been the best

[@fightingdreamer8681]

Ameen 🧡

[@peacenow6618]

May Allah Accept your works, and make it a means of acceptance and Guidance for the Ummah!

[@zendarkritical]

Ameen ya Raballalameen. Also, it's good to write "SWT" (and say the phrase this abbreviation stands for) after mention the name of God Almighty. Like this: Allah (SWT) Writing it like this is the appropriate way (its not exactly necessary but it's thikr that's beneficial to you and appropriate) talk about Allah (SWT). This phrase stands for "subhanahu wa ta'ala", which means "The Most Glorified, The Most High". Saying SWT after mentioning Allah (SWT) both gives the praise, respect, and glory which is due to Allah (SWT) and also gives you free hasanat (good deeds). By the way SWT is not usually said/written after saying things inshallah or bismillah and similar tathkir but if you want more hasanat then you can feel free to write it down / say it. JazakAllahukhairan for reading this. Also, read this for more info if you would like (its a very easy to read and short article that covers a lot): en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islamic_honorifics

[@seeki3315]

Narrated Abu Raja Al-Utaridi: We used to worship stones, and when we found a better stone than the first one, we would throw the first one and take the latter, but if we could not get a stone then we would collect some earth (i.e. soil) and then bring a sheep and milk that sheep over it, and perform the Tawaf around it. When the month of Rajab came, we used (to stop the military actions), calling this month the iron remover, for we used to remove and throw away the iron parts of every spear and arrow in the month of Rajab.

The Prophet P.b.u.h Said Allah has sent down both the disease and the cure, and He has appointed a cure for every disease.---$unan Abu Dawood 3874 No Misfortune can Happen on earth or in your souls but it is recorded in a decree before we bring it into existence - Quran 57 : 22 ( The Question is why do we trust Doctors more than Allah ) Science does not believe in Allah & we reject science on this matter.
