💐 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)."

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."
