Empathy is one of the components of emotional intelligence and it is defined as the ability to perceive what other is experiencing whether it is emotionally or cognitively. It is said that during the age of social media, the ability of people to empathize with others has dwindled as the consequence of the role played by algorithms in creating what is known as the “filter bubbles” that skew or limit the information an individual user sees on the internet based on the searches. This study aims to lay down theIslamic foundation in the subject matter of empathy and to address its application in the Prophetic tradition. The research adopts inductive and analytical approaches in presenting the discussion regarding the application of empathy and important additionrendered by the Prophetic tradition in the subject. Some of the findings of the research lies in several observations; the empathic capacities which are innate in human being originated from Allah and that He is the source of compassion and mercy; there are abundant of aḥadīth that encourage us to take the perspective of others as perspective-taking is one of the essential components in empathy: and empathy is the mechanism of altruism and helping behaviour while also instigating other good characters and traits in human being.

This study seeks to highlight the methodology and approach of al-Imām al-Nasāʾī in dealing with tafsīr of the Qurān through his book al-Sunan al-Kubrā. His efforts and attention regarding the tafsīr of the Qurān and Qurānic sciences are evident throughout the allotment of two specific chapters in his book which he named as “Kitāb al-Tafsīr” and “Kitab Faḍāʾil al-Qurān”, as he collects and narrates the Prophetic aḥādīth which he considers to be the explanation of the Qurānic verses and are related to the Qurān and its sciences. The research adopts inductive approach to specifically explore the Prophetic texts that are related to sūrah al-Baqarah. The exploration is not confined only to kitāb al-Tafsīr and kitab Faḍāʾil al-Qurān, but expands to other places as well through the book which are correlated with sūrah al-Baqarah. The study espouses analytical approach as well to infer his methodology of tafsīr through the Prophetic texts collected regarding the topic. Thestudy will not encompass all issues of tafsīr, but rather it selectively highlights some of the important ones because of the vast nature of this topic. Some of the findings of the research lies in several observations; that al-Imām al-Nasāʾī narrates a lot of aḥādīth that indicate and demonstrate the meaning of Qurānic verses and its sciences, such as the issues of abrogation of the Qurān (al-nāsikh wa al-mansūkh), the contexts and occasions of the revelation of the Qurān (asbāb al-nuzūl), and matters concerning the revelation itself, although in most cases hedid not distinctly manifest the correlation and connections between the aḥādīth and the Qurānic verses
