Empathy a Forgotten Sunnah

Author: Sheikh Muiz Bukhary January 22, 2019 Duration: 18:01

Empathy is the ability to recognise, understand and share the feelings of others, almost like walking in someone else’s shoes.

There are different types of empathy that have been defined by psychologists.
They are cognitive, emotional and compassionate empathy.

Some of the main narrations shared in the episode:

Anas ibn Malik (may Allah be pleased with him reported: The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “None of you will have faith until he loves for his brother/sister what he loves for himself.”

(Source: Sahih Al-Bukhaari and Sahih Al-Muslim)

Al-Nu’man ibn Bashir (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “The parable of the believers in their affection, mercy, and compassion for each other is that of a body. When any limb aches, the whole body reacts with sleeplessness and fever.”

(Source: Sahih Al-Bukhaari and Sahih Al-Muslim)
