Note: Thirteen Quirks Which Some INTJs May Relate To

💐 In The Name Of Allah The Most Gracious The Most Merciful
🗒️ Checklist to determine if your MBTI personality type is INTJ: 
( ) 1] You seldom get surprised or disappointed, as you're capable of imagining, with Allah's Will, how people would behave in various scenarios. For instance, more than three times, with intuition from Allah Subhaanahu wa Ta'aala, you've guessed correctly that a certain person would be absent, break a promise, or act in a way that would upset more sensitive personality types. 
( ) 2] Due to your confidence or fearlessness in approaching and confronting people, some individuals wrongly guess that you're an extrovert, when you're actually introverted. 
( ) 3] You are incapable of getting hurt or offended instantly, so much so that you've wondered if you're a sociopath or there's something wrong with you. Alhamdulillah you're able to keep doing what you believe is right, without being affected by people's insults, disapproval, and efforts to discourage you. 
( ) 4] There were many instances in your younger years up to this day when you chose to stay at home working on some tasks while your family, relatives, or roommates would go out for shopping or to attend a wedding. You'd rather browse the web, research random information for self-development, complete assignments, quietly meditate, and read indoors than socialize unnecessarily with strangers. 
( ) 5] You're usually more talkative and verbose online than offline. When interacting with people face-to-face, you prefer to be concise, not necessarily because of shyness but there are other activities you'd rather be doing than aimlessly socializing. 
( ) 6] You dislike intentional and unintentional grammatical errors, as well as typos, in yourself and others. 
( ) 7] At least one person you've met has described you as a "nerd", tried to use the term "intellectual" or "know-it-all" against you, or unjustly thought of you as "arrogant" for frequently correcting their mistakes. 
( ) 8] While some people like to stare at the details of their food and admire their edibles, you have a tendency to plan your next moves, reflect on the future, or analyze different circumstances while having your meals. 
( ) 9] You're closer and more accommodating to your spouse, kid/children, and family than with your friends, colleagues, and neighbors. 
( ) 10] Since you're very selective regarding your choice of close friends, outsiders who aren't familiar with you may assume you don't have a single friend when in reality there are at least five individuals whom you deeply care about for Allah's sake. 
( ) 11] You typically don't get along with those who have a preference for instant gratification and finalizing decisions according to their feelings over logic, rationality, and long-term benefits. 
( ) 12] Despite being wrongfully accused of "arrogance" by some critics, you're aware of the fact that every individual you meet is more knowledgeable, experienced, or competent than you at something and, if you have healthy self-esteem, you can't feel jealous for what they have and can do. 
( ) 13] You have the ability, Alhamdulillah, to resist most temptations, as you can visualize the possible consequences of each action, and willfully ignore whatever you think distracts you from your goals.

📖 Anas Ibn Malik RadhiAllahu 'anhu narrated: Allah's noble Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, "The believer is one who is trusted by the people. The Muslim is one from whose tongue and hand the Muslims are safe (not guilty of backbiting, telling lies, and knowingly committing injustice). The emigrant (muhaajir) is one who emigrates away from evil. 
By the One (Allah the Almighty) in Whose Hand is my soul, a servant will not enter Paradise if his neighbor is not secure from his harm."

Note: Reminder To Perform One's Wudhoo / Ablution Well

💐 In The Name Of Allah The Most Gracious The Most Merciful
💌 A sister some time ago asked me to advise some of the sisters out there to ensure they perform wudhu/ablution as perfectly as possible even with a mountain load of make-up on. When washing their faces, some would rub with such sparingly tiny amount of water very lightly as though they're walking on eggshells, afraid their facial work of art may be erased. One's ablution may not be valid if the water didn't properly touch the skin. This is also why nail polish is discouraged when praying as the coating prevents water from reaching the nails. 
For Allah's sake perform your wudhu/ablution well in the manner which the noble Prophet Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam used to do. You can put on your cosmetics again after you completed the Salah or try to join the minority of women who prefer to go natural without worrying if their make-up is on fleek or not.
📖 Abu Huraira RadhiAllahu 'anhu narrated that Allah's noble Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, "Verily, my nation will be summoned on the Day of Resurrection as brightly radiant from the traces of ablution. Whoever among you is able to extend his radiance, then let him do so."
(Sahih Muslim 136, Sahih Muslim 246)
