🗒️ Question: As a Muslim whose MBTI personality type is INTJ what are some things which you usually do to make sure that you remain in a good mood?
📝 Answer: 1] Increase in saying Dhikr (e.g. "SubhanAllah wa Bihamdih. SubhanAllah Al-'Atheem") and Istighfaar (say "AstaghfurAllah Al-'Atheem" as often as I can).
2] Frequently send salutations upon the noble Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam, specially more so on Fridays.
"Allahumma salli 'alaa Muhammad wa 'alaa aali Muhammad,
kamaa sallayta 'alaa Ibrahim wa 'alaa aali Ibrahim,
Innaka Hameedun Majeed.
Allahumma baarik 'alaa Muhammad wa 'alaa aali Muhammad,
kamaa baarakta 'alaa Ibrahim wa 'alaa aali Ibrahim,
Innaka Hameedun Majeed."
3] Read at least two pages or any Surah from the Noble Qur'an every day and/or night.
4] Contemplate, meditate and reflect upon Allah's beautiful creations while listening to some calming recitations from the Noble Qur'an.
5] Listen to at least one recorded Khutbah / Jumuah Friday sermon in Arabic or English on YouTube.
6] Listen to some Islamic lectures in Arabic or English language on YouTube, SoundCloud or Spreaker.
7] Read carefully selected articles, writings and blog posts online related to Islam, psychology and personality development.
8] Occasionally visit some family members and relatives when I'm not busy. Spending quality time conversing or being playful with children, nephews and nieces.
9] Feeding cats and petting them once in a while.
10] Deliberately avoiding online and offline content which are toxic and negative, including meaningless vlogs of noisy YouTubers who aren't inspiring. Feeling a sense of accomplishment Alhamdulillah whenever I'm able to avoid gossipers, futile group conversations and untrustworthy individuals who emit bad vibes.
11] Taking naps in the daytime when necessary and trying to analyze the meanings behind a lot of my lucid dreams.

📖 Abu Huraira RadhiAllahu 'anhu narrated that the Messenger of Allah SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, "The Mufarridun (the isolated or those who like to isolate themselves) have gone ahead (in gaining rewards)." He was asked, "Who are the Mufarridun?" He SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam replied, "Those men and women who remember Allah much."
[Sahih Muslim]
Arabic/English book reference: Book 16, Hadith 1436
📖 Abu Huraira RadhiAllahu 'anhu narrated: Allah's noble Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, "The strong believer is more beloved to Allah than the weak believer, but there is goodness in both of them. Be eager for what benefits you, seek help from Allah, and do not be frustrated. If something befalls you, then do not say: 'If only I had done something else.’ Rather say: "Allah has decreed what He wills." Verily, the phrase ‘if only’ opens the way for the work of shaytan."
