Therefore, there is an urgent need for a thorough understanding<br />of emotional and spiritual intelligence in delivering the divine message of<br />Islam locally and globally, one which is currently neglected by some Muslims.<br />This article aims at exploring elements of emotional and spiritual intelligence<br />in Mohammad Natsir’s (1908-1993) approach of da’wah. Through content<br />analysis, this study found that Mohammad Natsir’s magnum opus “fiqhud<br />da’wah”, exhibits several core elements of emotional and spiritual intelligence,<br />which contribute to the sustainability of his da’wah. This is reflected through<br />his discussion on ethics (akhlÉq) characterized by the concept of emotional<br />bridging, Íikmah and purification of the soul.</p> ER -
