📜 Question: As a Muslimah whose MBTI personality type is INTJ-A, what are some things which if a person does can increase your respect for them? In your opinion, what makes someone respectable?
📝 Answer: If... 1] They sincerely try their best for Allah's sake to remain honest, trustworthy and dependable. For instance, if they're a colleague, they avoid slacking and frequent absences as much as possible.
2] It's obvious that they don't have any selfish agenda while they genuinely want what is best not just for their faith Imaan but also for others' spiritual well-being in both worlds. They're authentically generous, helpful and kind without expecting specific rewards from you in return.
3] They're morally strong and confident enough to refrain from acting passive-aggressive whenever they deal with temporary negative emotions. Even if they may slightly dislike several individuals, they won't gossip about them, since cowardly backbiting is commonly an indication of the gossipers' intense envy.
4] Flattery, compliments, rhetorical questions, criticism and people's opinions of them do not affect their feelings and goals at all. They strive to be persistent for Allah's sake in doing what they firmly believe can please Allah Subhaanahu wa Ta'aala regardless of what people say and perceive.
5] They are always eager to learn more about Islam (without being "religiously arrogant"), apply the good lessons they've learned and generously share their knowledge with others online and offline for Allah's sake whenever they can.

📖 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 Subhaanahu wa Ta'aala) in Whose Hand is my soul, a servant will not enter Paradise if his neighbor is not secure from his harm."
