What does Qadr of Allah mean?
A lot of the popular concepts and narratives online do not align with our faith as they promote others having power over how we show up.
Qadr of Allah means that it is up to you to make the choices that will lead you to creating your legacy.
Allah gave us free will and choice and the key to making the right choices comes down to understanding your own internal state and learning how to regulate this through developing Emotional Intelligence so you become more purposeful and intentional about the choices you make.
This is why I am very selective with the information I follow.
Recently I saw a new label of ‘Non emotionals’ where people pick up on and magnify others emotions and energy and the anger, frustration and negative emotion you feel isn’t yours.
This doesn’t sit right with me because it paints an incomplete picture.
Energy and emotions can be contagious BUT at the end of the day YOU still have the freedom of choice on how you respond and are accountable for your actions.
Emotions are electrochemical signals that are released in our brains in response to our perceptions about the world.
HOWEVER, EMOTIONS ARE ABSORBED IN THE BODY IN ABOUT 6 SECONDS FROM THE TIME THEY ARE PRODUCED IN THE HYPOTHALAMUS .
Therefore what happens after those 6seconds is your choice.
The real issue is that how we respond and react is a result of early experiences, lack of awareness, inability to regulate and past traumas and often you lack the emotional intelligence skills to identify what is really happening internally.
So instead you just lash out and react or you suppress your emotions and busy yourself with modern daily life, until those stuck emotions lead to burnout, stress, physical illness etc
