With the Heart in Mind — The Moral & Emotional Intelligence of the Prophet
by Mikaeel Ahmed Smith
2019 · Qasim Publications · 190 pages
The author suggests that by studying the Emotional Intelligence of the Prophet Muhammad, we improve the quality of our relationships with the people around us and we, like the Prophet, can become catalysts for change around us. Emotional Intelligence within the author's model of intelligence is a tool by which the message of God is transferred to humanity. With the Heart in Mind reminds us that "To be loved by people is half of intelligence."
We all desire to connect to those around us in a meaningful way. It is our connections with others that shape who we are. A Muslim has a unique advantage, because he/she has a connection with the best of Allah’s creation.
Smith’s first book asks Muslims to redefine what it means to be more like the Prophet. Being more like him means learning how he was able to leave such a profound impact on those he interacted with. Being like him means having the courage to explore the pain within us so that we can reach our full potential. [Text Source: Qasim Publications]
