Tafakkur (Reflection) Tafakkur literally means to think on a subject deeply, systematically, and in great detail.

Tafakkur (Reflection)

In this context, it signifies reflection, which is the heart’s lamp, the spirit’s food, the spirit of knowl-edge, and the essence and light of the Islamic way of life. Reflection is the light in the heart that allows the believer to discern what is good and evil, beneficial and harmful, beautiful and ugly. Again, it is through reflection that the universe becomes a book to study, and the verses of the Qur’an disclose their deeper meanings and secrets more clearly.

Without reflection, the heart is darkened, the spirit is exasperated, and Islam is lived at such a superficial level that it is devoid of meaning and profundity. Reflection is a vital step in becoming aware of what is going on around us and of drawing conclusions from it.

Empaths can perceive physical sensitivities and spiritual urges, as well as just knowing the motivations and intentions of other people.

Empaths are often quiet achievers. However, they can be the exact opposite: reclusive and apparently unresponsive at the best of times. Empaths have a tendency to openly feel what is outside of them more so than what is inside of them. Empaths are more inclined to pick up another’s feelings and project it back without realizing its origin in the first place. Empaths are sensitive to TV, videos, movies, news and broadcasts.
