Note: INTJ Personality Types As Neighbors

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

📜 Question: As an INTJ who is generally selective when it comes to socializing, what are some things you would do to let a neighbor of the same gender know that you care about them for Allah's sake and you're interested in becoming actual friends instead of just strangers or acquaintances?

📝 Answer: 1] I'd make effort to visit them for Allah's sake, not necessarily every single day but once in a while, to check how they're doing. You can tell that an INTJ is uninterested in connecting with you if they haven't visited you at least once within the first two or so weeks of discovering that you reside nearby. 

2] If I have surplus items which I don't really require or if there are lots of leftovers from a simple dish I've prepared, I'd occasionally share them with the neighbor unless I know that they wouldn't like it. 

3] If they have kids and their children are playing outside, I'd be playful or talk to them for a few minutes. Otherwise, I would quickly walk by them and focus on where I'm going. 

4] If I notice that a delivered package of theirs is left around, I'd go out of my way to place it in front of their door or contact them directly to inform them about the delivery. I'd leave the package untouched if I wasn't willing to be more acquainted with the neighbor. 

5] Now and then I'd invite them to join me for outings and dining outdoors if I had the chance to do so. If I felt uncomfortable with their vibes, I would purposely avoid or try to minimize going to the places where they're likely to be. 

6] I'd maintain connection with them on social media and at least once a month take the initiative to chat with them or react to one of their online posts. Most of our conversations would involve deeper topics like what lessons we've learned from different books or articles, analyzing the meanings of certain dreams and personal thoughts related to current news etc. instead of mere "how are you?" and "nice weather today". 

7] I'd offer to teach them whatever I know about Islam and Arabic language for free, with guidance from Allah Subhaanahu wa Ta'aala, instead of indicating that I've got other more worthwhile tasks to do than to partake in lengthy talks with absolute strangers whose interests obviously clash with my values.

Tips: Stages Of Bereavement And Some Tips On Coping With Grief

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

📑 Stages of bereavement and grieving, personal advice from someone who has had several loved ones pass away including my dear parents, some aunties and relatives (Allah yarhamhum. Ameen.): 

1] Denial of the news received about the passing of the loved one. Finding it difficult to accept that they've died. Feeling shocked to know they're no longer alive (in this fleeting dunya). 

2] Feeling sad or depressed knowing that the deceased is not around anymore. Occasionally going through unpleasant feelings of regret or wondering what your circumstances would have been like if you spent more time with them before they died. 

3] Finding it challenging to move on from their demise if you were closely connected and struggling to cope with the aches of looking back on the moments you've enjoyed with them whenever somebody reminds you of them directly or indirectly. 

4] Finally accepting Allah's Qadr / Destiny with rewarding patience and contentment (for those who weren't strong enough yet to accept Allah's Decree from the very first instant of discovering the loved one's demise) and attaining comfort upon looking forward to being reunited with them 

Inn-sha-Allah in Jannah Paradise while regularly mentioning them in your wholehearted Du'as / supplications, praying that Allah Subhaanahu wa Ta'aala continuously has mercy on them, forgives them and protects them from the grave's torment.

5] Anticipating rewards from Allah Subhaanahu wa Ta'aala for striving to stay patient for His sake and having the ability, as well as willingness, to kindly inspire other bereaved Muslims to maintain Sabr for Allah's sake, reminding one another that this world is only temporary and our actual destination is Jannah Paradise where we can 

Inn-sha-Allah reconcile with our Muslim loved ones if Allah Subhaanahu wa Ta'aala decrees. 

✅ A few tips on how to ease and alleviate grief and bereavement: 

1] As a Muslim Alhamdulillah it is part of being a true believer to train oneself to have patience with what Allah the Most Wise decrees. Striving to have Sabr doesn't mean you're not allowed to feel saddened by certain trials but you refrain from loudly saying anything which could displease Allah Subhaanahu wa Ta'aala. 

2] Understand that your deceased loved one would dislike it if they found you consistently suffering from depression due to their departure. Learn to patiently accept the reality that Allah Subhaanahu wa Ta'aala took them back to Him at the precise timing which He already destined and planned even before you were born. Try to achieve joy in lawful ways, particularly by frequently reading from the Noble Qur'an and researching about how the noble Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam and the other Prophets 'alaihim as-salaam dealt with the difficulties in this world appropriately. 

3] If you feel it can be helpful for your overall well-being, once in a while talk to Muslims who have gone through your loss and who know what it's like to be in your current situation, or browse around informative articles or forums where Muslims share their experiences and provide useful tips on coping with grief, while always recalling that in Jannah Paradise 

Inn-sha-Allah our worries and sorrow can be replaced with everlasting bliss.

Allah the Almighty knows best.

📖 Ibn 'Umar RadhiAllahu 'anhuma from his father that the noble Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, "The deceased is punished in his grave for the wailing done over him." (Refrain from wailing or excessively crying over those who've returned to Allah Subhaanahu wa Ta'aala.)
