A Study of the Components of Spiritual Intelligence in Fārūq Shuwaykh’s Poems Based on Robert Emmons' Theory

Spiritual intelligence is a type of intelligence combining spirituality and intelligence within a new structure and providing humanity with a logical application of spiritual skills to search for meaningful and valuable issues. As the basis of human values, beliefs, and actions SQ enables human to focus on ontological issues and change living conditions, to seek growth and excellence in the face of the realities of life. Robert Emmons (1958), a professor of psychology at the University of California, whose connections to religious and moral issues are prominent in his thoughts, is one of the thinkers of this new theory. Since the poetry of Farouk Shuwaykh (1976), a contemporary Lebanese poet, are all about mysticism and a reflection of Islamic and human truths, the functions and purposes of applying the components of this type of intelligence in the poems of this poet in Emmons' thoughts were the subject of this study. One of the results of the present research, conducted via a descriptive-analytical method, is that although Shuwaykh did not mention spiritual intelligence in his poems. However, because his poems are very flexible in terms of ideological and cognitive dimensions, emotional dimension, and voluntary dimension.
