Poem: Five Signs You're A Muslim Empath Who, With Allah's Will, Can Sense People's Feelings

💐 In The Name Of Allah The Most Gracious The Most Merciful

💌 Five signs you're a Muslim empath even if you're a 

Thinking MBTI type like an INTJ, 

Who values mercy, loves and hates just for Allah's sake, 

Who's gifted with intuition, peaceful inner state, 

And who knows Allah's Justice ultimately prevails:

~•~

One: You can sense how someone's feeling, despite their face 

And body language say something besides what's portrayed. 

You'll defend if they feel ashamed. If mad, you'll give space. 

If they're sad, you absorb their aches and alleviate 

With comforting words, advice, or warm loving embrace. 

~•~

Two: Secondhand embarrassment is something you hate. 

Seeing others fall or make mistakes can't entertain. 

When some are bullied or treated in an unfair way, 

To help and bravely back them up you don't hesitate. 

At fixing awkward moments you're from those who are trained.

~•~

Three: Fake, rude and toxic people you repudiate. 

By fakery and gossip you get easily drained.

Solitude, away from bad vibes, you appreciate.

Mean critics mocking others' flaws you can't tolerate, 

And to those who lack nice manners you don't gravitate.

~•~

Four: Often you shed tears when you read the Qur'an, pray, 

Supplicate, say Du'a, while mentioning loved ones' names, 

Indicating your soul is pure, free from filthy traits,

Such as envying others' blessings which Allah gave, 

Doubting Muslims' niyyah and foul thoughts one formulates.

~•~

Five: Long-term grudge and hurt pride in your heart don't remain. 

For a Muslim's apologies you don't need to wait. 

Saying the salaam you usually initiate, 

And you're kind not so your favors are returned someday 

But seeking Allah's Love through kindness is from your aims.

~•~

Take note that not all empaths are precisely the same. 

Some are more sensitive than others, others more tamed, 

And others practice empathy in logical ways. 

So Allah loves you more, be merciful with His slaves, 

Aware that good character is heavy on the Scales.

📖 Abu Darda RadhiAllahu 'anhu narrated: Allah's noble Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, "Nothing is heavier upon the scale of a believer on the Day of Resurrection than his good character. Verily, Allah hates the vulgar and obscene person (prone to wicked conduct and vile speech such as knowingly telling lies, backbiting, spreading rumors)."

📖 Anas Ibn Malik RadhiAllahu 'anhu narrated: Allah's noble Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said to me: "Young man, if you are able every morning and evening to remove any rancor (grudges, hatred or jealousy) from your heart towards anyone, do so."

Then, the Prophet SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said to me:

"Young man, that is my Sunnah. Whoever revives my Sunnah has loved me, and whoever loves me will be with me in Paradise."

Note: Taraweeh And Qiyaam Al-Layl Are Highly Recommended Sunnah Prayers

💐 In The Name Of Allah The Most Gracious The Most Merciful

📜 Question: Is the Taraweeh prayer obligatory (Waajib) upon the women? And is praying Qiyaam Al-Layl (Tahajjud) mandatory in Ramadan and in other months?

📝 Answer: The Taraweeh prayer is not obligatory. Similarly, Qiyaam Al-Layl (Tahajjud) is not obligatory, not in Ramadan and not in other times. However, it is a highly recommended Sunnah which the beloved Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam regularly did and encouraged. He SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam frequently prayed Qiyaam Al-Layl and the Witr prayer while traveling and as a resident. Taraweeh and Tahajjud (Qiyaam Al-Layl) are Sunnah good deeds, not obligatory. 

The least that you can do is to pray one Rak'ah (Witr) after the 'Ishaa prayer or in the last third of the night. The more Rak'ahs you pray during Taraweeh or Tahajjud (Qiyaam Al-Layl), the better (and the more rewards). 

The noble Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam generally prayed Taraweeh in eleven Rak'ahs, saying the Tasleem after every two Rak'ahs and ending the night prayer with one Rak'ah of Witr. 

From the Fataawa of sheikh AbdulAziz Ibn Baz (May Allah have mercy on him. Ameen.)

📖 Abu Huraira RadhiAllahu 'anhu narrated: Allah's noble Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, "Allah the Almighty said: 'Whoever shows hostility (enmity) to a righteous friend of Mine, I have declared war upon him. My servant does not grow closer to Me with anything more beloved to Me than the obligatory duties that I have imposed upon him. My servant continues to grow closer to Me with extra good works (nawaafil deeds like praying Tahajjud, Taraweeh in Ramadan, and fasting Sunnah fasts) until I love him. When I love him, I am his hearing with which he hears, his seeing with which he sees, his hand with which he strikes, and his foot with which he walks. Were he to ask something from Me, I would surely give it to him. Were he to ask Me for refuge, I would surely grant it to him. I do not hesitate to do anything as I hesitate to take the soul of the believer, for he hates death and I hate to disappoint him.'"
