Paper Title
Understanding Emotional Intelligence in The Light of Quranic Wisdom And Prophetic Traditions

Abstract
A consensual exegesis of the various exponents of researchers in the field of EI agreed of its capacity to use emotional information to guide an individual�s thought process and also to contour behavioral intercourse with others. Islam not being just a religion, rather a complete way of life lays emphasis on acquisition of Emotional Intelligence. The Holy Quran, which is ardently believed by the Muslims as the verbatim words of Almighty Allah (S.W.T), has given reference of Emotional Intelligence in its various verses eons before organized methods of research had evolved. Much before composite models have developed, the Quran has given forthright yet lucid reference about Emotional Intelligence. The Religious emphasis laid down in the Holy Text is much more internally imposed experience than appreciating a heuristic model. This research work makes an attempt to find out the emotional wisdom which Islam teaches us in the Surahs(verses) of Holy Quran as well as from the authentic sources of the few selected Hadiths which the Messenger of Allah Prophet Muhammad ( S.A.W )taught to mankind.
