CHAPTER 7 : HOLD ANGER

People who are easily angered can cause disasters that lead to regrets later on. Therefore we should learn how to control anger.

When you feel angry, back off, shut up and try to calm down. Think, if other people are angry what he does. We have to get out of the problem box (put yourself as an observer, not an emotional person). If you can't, turn your attention to other things, leave arguments, drink water first and so on. Because decisions or actions made in a state of anger are often out of sanity.

DALIL HOLDS ANGER

·        Resisting anger is a good deed.

And hasten to (do good deeds to get) forgiveness from your Lord, and (get) Paradise whose area is as wide as all the heavens and the earth, which is prepared for the pious; (133) They are those who donate their wealth in good times and bad times, and those who restrain their anger, and those who forgive people's mistakes. And (remember), God loves those who do good things; 

(A-li'Imran 3:134)

·        Resisting anger, a way to purify yourself

And (mention the event of) Zun-Nun, when he went away (leaving his people) in a state of anger, which caused him to think that We would not afflict him with hardship or trial; (after what happened to him) then he called out in the darkness saying: "Verily there is no God (who can help) but You (O Allah)! Glory be to You (instead of doing wrong, help me)! Verily I am one of those who persecute themselves".

(Al-Anbiya' 21:87)

·        Anger often ends in regret. Resisting anger is better.

And (remember) about the day when the wrongdoers bit both his hands (angry at himself) saying: "Would it be better if I (in the previous world) took the right path with the Messenger?

(Al-Furqaan 25:27)
