Restrain your anger before it restrains you The Prophet ﷺ said: ((لَيْسَ الشَّدِيدُ بِالصُّرَعَةِ، إِنَّمَا الشَّدِيدُ الَّذِي يَمْلِكُ نَفْسَهُ عِنْدَ الغَضَبِ)) “The strong is not the one who overcomes others in wrestling; rather, the strong is the one who controls himself when angry.” [Al-Bukhārī and Muslim] So, when you feel anger rising, seek refuge in Allāh, remain silent, and reflect upon the consequences of your words and actions. Indeed, a wise person is one who holds the reins of his own self. No one whose nature is dominated by anger will ever attain true greatness. As ʿAntarah said: لَا يَحْمِلُ الحِقْدَ مَنْ تَعْلُو بِهِ الرُّتَبُ... وَلَا يَنَالُ العُلَا مَنْ طَبْعُهُ الغَضَبُ “He who rises in rank harbours no malice...And he who is quick to anger will never attain nobility.” Benefitted from Sheikh Faisal Al-Hashidi [https://t.me/nnnnaan/4880] #tarbiyah@masjidsahabah
