#22 The Link Between Personality Types and Religious Adherence – is it easier for conscientious people?

When it concerns dealings with people, actions of worship, ensuring justice, and more – the small things matter in Islam. I discuss how different cultures often exhibit different attitudes and societal norms that impact upon how the population will practice the religion. If it is a cultural norm for 5 minutes to be 55 minutes, inevitably it will be difficult to shed this norm when it comes to the incredibly specific conditions of worship. I further discuss the idea of how psychological personality profiles impact religious practice, suggesting that a conscientious personality type may find obedience easier. Irrespectively, the obligations remain the mandated same for all which should allow us to be more empathetic and humble. The end of the podcast includes the original Urdu/punjabi version which is also on the Optimized Muslim Project Youtube Channel. I would love to hear your views.

Secondly, please share a screenshot on your social media or better yet send it to that one friend that you know thinks in a similar manner and would benefit. if you guide towards a good action you get the reward for that action and in doing so we can benefit from one of the few positives of this hyper-connected social media World in what I call the good deed multiplier effect.
