Summary/Abstract: With the analysis of the topic Basics of Islamic view on the concept of Emotional Intelligence, we tried to give a conceptual definition of the Emotional Intelligence as a relatively new scientific concept and its relationship with the Islamic teachings. We attempted to identify and analyze the concept of Emotional Intelligence in the light of Islamic teaching and its place in the sources of Islam. Islam as a universal concept of life offers the solutions to all issues and problems of mankind until the Day of Judgement, and contains integrated elements of Emotional Intelligence. Emotional Intelligence as an essential component of a successful life and functioning includes: emotional sensitivity, interpersonal and intrapersonal skills, social sensitivity, communication skills, high levels of tolerance, high levels of adaptability, sociability, cooperation, and daily in collaboration in various everyday life situations and circumstances. Harmonious interpersonal relationships in all the structures are the basic prerequisites for successful work and life, and require a high Emotional Intelligence. So rightfully D.
