Ikram Sanaullah – Do this and you won’t be angry

Many a times, I meet people who tell

me that, Sheikh, I have anger issues.

I do not know what I'm doing when

I get angry.

And then they ask for the solution. Well,

I have 6 solutions for you. Solution number

1, whenever you enter into a place, enter

by making salaam. Say, assalamu alaikum

and read the dua of entering into that

place. Because

in that way, you will be under the

guidance of Allah

Solution number 2, whenever you are angry, read.

Ask for the protection of Almighty Allah from

the tool of shaitan,

which is anger. Solution number 3,

when you are angry, drink water or make

wudu. It will calm down your anger. Solution

number 4,

leave the place where you are angry. If

you have an argument with your wife or

with your children,

leave the house, go to the Masjid.

If the argument is between the women folk,

let's say between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law,

then they should separate themselves and go into

another room. Because when you are angry, you

might end up saying things which will make

this scenario

worse. Solution number 5,

Whenever you are angry,

have patience.

Practice patience. Because Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala

has promised rewards for a person who has

to practice patience.

And solution number 6,

have it written on a paper and stick

it on the wall. Maybe in your house,

maybe at your workplace.

That

the power that you have

over the people that you are about to

get angry on, Allah

has a greater power on you. Allah

has a greater grip on you. It shouldn't

happen

that

the the crime is small,

and the punishment

is bigger,

for that a person will be held accountable

on the day of payama. So it should

scare us before

getting angry.

Prophet Muhammad Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam said that a

person who has to control his anger

tomorrow on the day of the yama, Allah

is

going to hide his faults in front of

everyone.
