			Today's brief hotter up just want to go over four or five practical points about how we can
eliminate or control that anger how we can eliminate or control that anger and of the great rula
will have discussed this is a mammal kazari in his haroldo Medina, on the books you will find
discussions of anger, as well talks about the issue of anger and how to deal with it. Three or four
basic points number one
		
00:00:48 --> 00:01:43
			of the primary causes of anger is an over inflation of our own ego. Think about it. When we value
ourselves more than it is worthy to be valued. Then we became we become angry at something that we
should not be angry about. If we are humble, if we are meek, if we don't have kibber, automatically,
this will eliminate our anger. And that's why Allah says in the Quran, worry about the Rahman Allah
Dena Yamuna and an early hona way the heart of omega hiranyakashipu Salah Hama, rebadow Rahman, the
true servants of Allah are those who walk with humility in this earth. And then when the riffraff
the recipient, the fools when the hooligans tried to provoke them, they say Salaam, notice, how does
		
00:01:43 --> 00:02:28
			the ayah begin? They have humility, how does the eye end when they are provoked? They say Salaam we
don't need that there is a causal linkage between humility and controlling your anger, one of the
main causes of anger, to be brutally honest, we need to think about that. We inflate our own pride,
we have a sense of worth that is not correct. When we humble ourselves for the sake of Allah. If
somebody says something, no big deal. What am I anyway, who cares? If somebody says something about
us, we don't have ego in the first place. So eliminating our ego helps control our anger. That's why
I showed the loved one who said the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam never got angry, never
		
00:02:29 --> 00:02:43
			extracted vengeance because of a personal thing between him and somebody else. Only for the sake of
Allah only for the sake of religion, that's when the anger would come not for his own self. So
number one, to eliminate anger. eliminate your
		
00:02:44 --> 00:02:50
			ego, your Kibler your pride, be humble. Number two, to eliminate anger.
		
00:02:51 --> 00:02:55
			Eliminate vulgar vocabularies from your tongue.
		
00:02:56 --> 00:03:44
			Eliminate vulgar vocabularies, it is not of the etiquettes of the Muslim of the movement to use bad
language, when you use bad language, the other person will increase the bad language, then you will
then he then you then he and then what will happen will happen. Our Prophet sallallahu Sallam said
four are the characteristics of the hypocrite and the second of them when he argues he uses foul
language. Dear Muslim, and especially dear young Muslim, and especially dear teenage male, it is not
cool. To utter vulgarities will lie it is not cool. It's not something that will gain you any
respect. If you know curse words we all know you know curse words, what's the big deal control it?
		
00:03:44 --> 00:04:29
			Don't choose vulgarities to get your point across the moment has a clean tongue. When you use
vulgarities in your state of anger, the other person will then increase it even more. And then the
the whole issue of evil consequences of anger is going to come and our Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam never uttered a vulgarity in his whole life. He did not utter anything of an indecent nature
we eliminated from our tongues. Number three, to eliminate anger to eliminate the dangers of anger
is the more precise Thing number three, we eliminate even argumentation. we eliminate argumentation
don't argue. Just let it go. Don't argue. If you don't argue the anger is going to just dissipate
		
00:04:29 --> 00:05:00
			the fact that you have to argue the point. Now we're talking about personal issues obviously
sometimes you have to be a little forceful. We're talking about any minor somebody says something
about you about your appearance about your money and your ego boosts up. Just be quiet. Don't argue
back lead believe it be our Prophet sallallahu I said him said I promised a house in the middle of
Jenna. I promise a house dead center in gender. Listen to this for the one who avoids our
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:14
			arguement even when he's upon the house, you have the house. But he just gives it up. Just don't
argue you have the house. But you just give it up. You don't argue. Our profitsystem said, I
promised that person
		
00:05:15 --> 00:05:59
			a house in the middle of Jana was not an agenda, which means simple example somebody comes and makes
fun of you, the hackers with you, nobody should make fun of you. You have the right to say something
to defend, you have the right to defend. But you say you know what, this person is a hot Obama guy
who needs a job in my job salam, let it be, you eliminate your ego, you shut your your your your you
control your anger, you don't say anything vulgar, and you stop arguing Let it be. Which leads us to
the other point directly related to all of this, of the easy ways to dissipate anger, to not have
the consequences of anger is you don't open your mouth. You see, here's the beauty. If anger remains
		
00:05:59 --> 00:06:00
			inside of you.
		
00:06:01 --> 00:06:53
			Even if I know it's there, it won't irritate me. I can see it, it might even amuse me. The minute
you open your mouth, and you express that anger verbally, call us all hope is gone. Correct. If you
notice anger in somebody, what are you going to do? Okay, you're angry. But as long as that anger is
controlled within. And that's why our president said had it is authentic. When one of you gets
angry, be quiet. But a simple one, if one of you gets angry, be quiet, do not speak in a state of
anger. And you will automatically eliminate 99% of the arm of the anger. So Pamela, it's amazing.
anger inside of you is forgiven by Allah and forgiven by mankind. Allah never says in the Quran,
		
00:06:53 --> 00:07:38
			don't get angry. Rather, Allah says praising the believers, while cow we mean alive. Those who
control who conceal their anger, the benefit, or the blessing, or the high status is not in the one
who never gets angry. Frankly, it's beyond my control your control to get angry. The high status is
the one who conceals the anger. Well, Calvin in a lie is the one who covers up the anger. How do you
cover up the anger, you don't express it simple as that. This means the other person might know that
you have the anger, but you simply don't express it. In the famous Hadith of the book, The incident
of the book, when the three companions stayed behind when they stayed behind, and they didn't have
		
00:07:38 --> 00:07:57
			an excuse, you know, the story, the famous one, and they came to the Prophet sallallahu. It said,
finally, to make an excuse, and the first one, the one who narrates the whole story, he comes back
and he said I was embarrassed that I presented myself to the process than him. And he smiled, listen
to this phrase, the way that he would smile when he is angry.
		
00:07:59 --> 00:08:44
			means he knew the profitsystem was angry means they could recognize when he was angry. But it also
means when he was angry, he would cover his own anger with a smile. Look at that. And they recognize
the smile that he had when he is angry. He smiled at me the way that he would smile when he is
angry. In other words, when we get angry, we frown, our pig. When the process of got angry. He had a
special smile trying to cover that up the Sahaba they knew him so well. They knew this is the smile
of when he's angry. That's his club. sallallahu alayhi wasallam. Even in his anger, he would smile
while Khalili, me in Ohio, the one who conceals the anger does not bring it out. So this is of the
		
00:08:44 --> 00:09:34
			best ways to control the anger and to not show the evil effects and that is to not speak to calm
down. And by the way, typing on a computer. responding to an email is exactly the same as speaking.
Do not write an email when you are angry brothers and sisters. Do not respond to a Facebook post
when you are angry and speak from experience. Never ever compose an email or write something or a
text message or a WhatsApp message when you are angry. Calm down, relax, follow the advice of our
Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam and that is to say our rubella administrate on the regime to do
will do if your anger is immense. If you're standing sit down if you're sitting lie down, do not
		
00:09:34 --> 00:09:59
			speak or write or type or answer a message in a state of anger. No one will blame you when you are
angry. When you control the anger. Even if they can sense you're angry. You are not blameworthy, but
the minute the anger comes out in action in argumentation in speech and text messages. That is when
the effects take place. We have to be very careful of that bottom line. Dear brothers and sisters.
Let's follow this video.
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:44
			hadith of our Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam controlling our anger will protect us from the
anger of Allah subhana wa Tada. Because when we are angry, we act foolishly. And we do things that
bring pain and suffering and hurt to other people unjustly. If somebody hurt us one out of 10 in our
anger, we will respond 10 out of 10. And we all know that we've all been there done that. And final
point, brothers and sisters, especially spouses, especially husbands and wives, control your anger
between each other, not just for the sake of your own marriage for the sake of your children. Make
sure you show love and mercy and compassion. Dear brothers, dear husbands, winning an argument at
		
00:10:44 --> 00:11:28
			the loss of a marriage is not winning an argument, winning a debate with your wife at the loss of
her love is a loss overall, for the both of you, especially you husbands realize your words in anger
will hurt much more than the other way around. That's the way Allah created us and them that we have
our issues and our weaknesses. But by and large by and large, we can bear with a little bit of anger
we can overcome it if we hear it from the other side. But our better halves our women as our Profit
System said they are fragile vessels are worried he called them crystal vessels careful careful what
we say because that might harm them as if no palladium says In fact, it is reported from some of the
		
00:11:28 --> 00:12:05
			earliest setup as well that possibly a word will cause more harm and physical pain to somebody than
a physical beating possibly a word is going to be more painful than if somebody punched you or hit
you what that person said about you might cause more pain, how much more so if it's the husband to
the wife, control your anger, don't say bad or vulgar or harsh things to the one who is your life
partner and the mother of your children and vice versa sisters as well control your anger don't
speak in the state of anger to your husbands this will be beneficial for yourself and your families
and your deen and your dunya May Allah subhanho wa Taala guide is to the best of luck and make us
		
00:12:05 --> 00:12:09
			follow the Sunnah of the Prophet salallahu idea he was setting him well for that when it comes to
the law he
		
00:12:15 --> 00:12:16
			is
		
00:12:17 --> 00:12:19
			in a feed dounia Solomon.
