In recent years, the concept of spiritual intelligence has spread globally. It is a sensitive concept due to its connection with creed and the purpose of human existence. For this reason, every nation needs to develop its own definition that aligns with its philosophy and spiritual values, while sharing many universal principles that relate to human nobility and the elevation of the soul and character. What is spiritual intelligence? Stephen Covey mentions in his book The Eighth Habit that spiritual intelligence is the center and foundation of all other forms of intelligence because it becomes the guiding source for the others. Covey defines spiritual intelligence as the search for meaning and connection with the Eternal, meaning connection with something greater and more magnificent than ourselves and our lifespans. Marsha Sinetar, in her book on spiritual intelligence in children, links spiritual intelligence with the development of innate disposition. She defines spiritual intelligence as the intelligence of fitrah. Kristján notes that what distinguishes individuals with high spiritual intelligence is awareness of others, the ability to question and feel reverence, sensitivity to what is spiritual, wisdom, foresight, and a deep sense of the presence of Allah and responsiveness to reminders of Him. Dana Zohar defines spiritual intelligence as the essential foundation for activating the functions of both rational intelligence and emotional intelligence. She describes it as our ultimate human intelligence. What are the dimensions of spiritual intelligence? Emmons defines spiritual intelligence through five dimensions: • The ability to transcend and elevate the self • The ability to build spiritually meaningful relationships free from personal interests • The ability to enter high states of spiritual awareness • The ability to use spiritual resources when facing daily problems • The ability to act with virtue, such as forgiveness, gratitude, humility, compassion, and wisdom Is spiritual intelligence innate or acquired? Spiritual intelligence consists of several abilities. These abilities are both innate and acquired. Spiritual intelligence is the intelligence of fitrah. A human being is born upon fitrah, but his parents either help him rise spiritually and morally or cause him to fall. After that, a person continues his path in life, making decisions that either elevate him or lower him. Do people differ in their spiritual intelligence at birth? Yes, people differ in this. Even within the same household, one child may show strong indicators of high spiritual intelligence from a young age, while it may not appear in the same way in his sibling. Defining spiritual intelligence in the light of Islamic creed Spiritual intelligence is connected to the purpose of human existence. These purposes differ according to belief systems, and thus the definition of spiritual intelligence is influenced by the goals a person believes in. The more sound the creed, the more it offers its followers a real opportunity for complete spiritual elevation. Therefore, believing in a correct creed and following it with sincerity leads to the highest development of spiritual intelligence. What is the relationship between spiritual intelligence and sound creed? A sound creed is the fitrah creed. It is the belief in one God, the Creator and Sustainer of this universe, without any partner. All matters return to Him alone.
