I've been teaching about emotional intelligence for several years now going on five years. And just I think it was this year or last year. My teacher, Sheikh Hamza, he actually is the one who told me that the prophesy said, I'm actually already in a hadith relayed the value of emotional intelligence that it is the higher form of intelligence.

But even his words, teach us that emotional intelligence is actually the the higher form of intelligence. So Subhanallah just something that I was really amazed by it. I wanted to share
