Anger Management in Islam
Anger is a natural
feeling that exists in every person; but Islam has taught that one must control
one’s anger and not express it in a brutal manner. Allah has given clear
guidance in the Holy Qur’an and the Holy Prophet Hazrat Muhammad Mustapha
(pbuh) has shown by his own example how a Muslim must live with patience, gentleness
and discipline. Anger is a poison that destroys family relations, marital
relations and social relations; and whoever allows anger to dominate loses the
blessings of Allah. Whoever succeeds in suppressing his anger gains immense
reward in the Hereafter.
In the Holy Qur’an, Allah says: “The pious are those who spend in prosperity and in difficulty; those who control their anger and forgive people; and Allah loves those who do good.” (Al-Imran 3: 135)
