Introduction

Emotions are an important tool for expressing one's inner feelings. These are of different kinds such as joy, detestation, anger etc. Fredrickson (1998) and Isen (1999) have highlighted that emotions have a vital possessions on the thinking of a person. Any type of pleasing and gratifying emotions can enhance and activate a person's Imaginative, artistic and creative sense. Persons who have a full control on his/her emotions can be a constructive and productive citizen of a society. This ability in a person is simply called emotional intelligence.

Mayer & Salovey (1993) defined the term emotional intelligence by saying it a "traditional and standard intelligence." Bar-On (1996) has defined this term of emotional intelligence as an ability which helps a person in dealing effectively with his/her own feelings and the feelings of the people around. Geula (2004) wrote that integrated education having sound bases of religious education helps in a person's emotional and spiritual development.
