As a Muslim do you have to be an empath

[Sarah]

Peace

Or is it more a balance between being empathic and non-empathic depending on the situation?

The Qur'an says be kind but I think it also teaches you to not let others take advantage of you for example, people who are oppressive or try to drive you out of your home because of your beliefs are not people you should befriend.


Which of the Myers-Briggs personality types seem to fit with a submitter/ believer?:

Peace Sarah.
Even though I tried to be as honest as I could (Some choices wrere restrictive) this is the result of my go at it:
Your test results
"The Consul"
Type   "The Consul" (ESFJ-A)
Traits   
Extraverted   -   53%
Observant   -   54%
Feeling   -   78%
Judging   -   81%
Assertive   -   85%
Role   Sentinel
Strategy   People Mastery

However,knowing me better,I disagree with their result.
i.e it is a probability findings rather than accurate .
However ,it might be interseting to some.
GOD bless you.
Peace.

i got INFJ. Myer Briggs isn't a proven method, but i agree with some of what they said about me.

An empath, is a capability to see and feel from other's point of view.

You don't need to be one, you just need to be authentic, to be yourselves.

But... as time progresses, you will find that your ego slowly erodes..
And as your ego eroded, your capability to be empathetic increases.

That is the natural way of things...

And since you're a female, some special events in your life, such as giving birth to a new life or a new ego shall significantly eroded your ego too.
A child is another ego that actually doesn't gives any direct benefit to you, he/she causes you pain and much headache throughout your life, but somehow you are willing to do that and more you are happy to do that without expecting anything in return from him/her.
