Today, according to psychology, one of the indicators of a healthy person with developed emotional intelligence is having social commitment and responsibility. The question is: to what extent have the two religions of Islam and Christianity addressed this part of human intelligence? Have the religious leaders of these religions considered this characteristic as a model for their community of believers? Is this component of emotional intelligence recommended to religious people in the Quran and the New Testament? The present study is a documentary-library research that first deals with the concept of emotional intelligence in terms of Bar-On and then selects the component of social responsibility from among the fifteen components to examine it comparatively in the text of the Quran and the New Testament. The results show that both books have paid attention to this component. Divine advice is given by the Quran and the Prophet. In the New Testament also social responsibility can be observed in the speech and conduct of Jesus and Paul.
