Empathy

The Power of Empathy

A and B had been talking for a while. At first, they were just exchanging words, but soon, something deeper happened—they started understanding each other. Their conversation shifted from casual chatter to sharing what was truly going on in their lives. A opened up about their struggles, and after some time, B did the same.

What is it that brings two people closer in mere minutes? They don’t have common backgrounds or shared experiences. Yet, they listen to each other, acknowledge their differences with respect, and truly pay attention.

What is that?

It’s called care.

But how do you show that you care? How do you know if someone else cares?

Here’s how it works:

When someone is speaking, you listen—not just with your ears, but with your heart. You don’t just hear their words; you feel their emotions as if they were your own. You put yourself in their shoes and, with sincerity, offer the best support you can. That is how you show you care.

And when you share your own struggles and receive the same level of understanding in return, that’s how you know you are cared for.

This is the essence of being an empath. Either you are one, or you are lucky enough to have one in your life.

Empaths don’t dismiss pain or ignore struggles. They don’t let others face their hardships alone. They are highly sensitive, natural healers—never judging, never misleading. They seek to understand both sides of a story, offering comfort without the need for immediate solutions.

As John Medina beautifully puts it:

“Empathy works so well because it does not require a solution. It requires only understanding.”

So let’s start by understanding each other. Do you know how it begins?

Feel the emotions.

The Historical Significance of Palestine: From First Temple to Hazrat Musa (A)

Palestine in the Time of Hazrat Musa (AS): A Divine Test and a Cosmic Shift The story of Palestine begins with Hazrat Musa (AS) and Bani Israel. After their escape from Pharaoh's oppression in Egypt, the Israelites wandered in the wilderness for forty years due to their disobedience. According to Islamic tradition and Jewish scripture, Allah had promised them a blessed land—Palestine—if they remained steadfast in faith and obedience. However, when ordered to enter the land, they refused out of fear of its inhabitants, leading to their prolonged wandering in the desert (Al-Ma'idah: 21-26). Only after the passing of that generation did their successors, under the leadership of Prophet Yusha (AS) (Joshua), enter the promised land. One unique aspect often overlooked is how this period of wandering reshaped not only the faith but also the identity of Bani Israel. The delay in entering Palestine was not merely a punishment—it was a divine transition where a new generation, unshackled...

Freedom vs Free Will

Look at the image above. What do you see? At first glance, it’s obvious—two birds flying away from a cage they were once locked in. But I see it in two ways: The First Perspective The birds were trapped in the cage until someone—perhaps their owner—opened the door, setting them free. Now, they can go wherever they wish, carried by the wind. The sky is vast and open, but even it has limits. Birds, like all creatures, have their own range; their flight is not infinite. Even freedom comes with boundaries. The Second Perspective Perhaps the cage was never locked—its door left open all along. The birds had a choice: to stay, to leave, or to return after exploring. The decision was entirely theirs. What’s Common in Both? Freedom and Free Will. The First Perspective: Freedom Misunderstood Society creates cages—rules, expectations, restrictions. When someone is confined for too long, sudden freedom can feel overwhelming. Like the birds carried by the wind, we may mistake absolute freedom as h...
