With The Heart In Mind

Explore the transformative emotional intelligence of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ and uncover how cultivating a heart-centered approach can elevate your relationships, deepen your connections, and bring healing to our hearts and to society at large. This insightful book by Shaykh Mikaeel Smith guides readers through a journey of family, friendship, and faith, showing how true emotional awareness—rooted in the Way of the Prophet ﷺ—can turn us into compassionate agents of change.

“To be loved by people is half of intelligence.” Through this timeless truth, the book reminds us that to follow the Prophet’s example is to nurture meaningful relationships with those around us—starting with the heart. Muslims are uniquely positioned to embody the best of humanity by connecting with the best of Allah’s creation.

With the Heart in Mind is not just a guidebook—it's a call to reflect inwardly, embrace vulnerability, and unlock the potential of our emotional and spiritual selves, all in pursuit of becoming more like the Prophet ﷺ.
