Anger and Self-control

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)

New Year

   

As we have reached a new year, it is essential that we reflect profoundly upon the passage of time and our temporary stay in this world. Remember that time is among the most precious gifts granted by Allah, and it is a trust that cannot be reclaimed once it slips away. Allah says in the Holy Qur’an: “In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. By time; indeed, mankind is in loss, except for those who have believed and done righteous deeds and advised each other to truth and advised each other to patience” (Al-Asr 103: 1-4).

 

This verse teaches us that every moment carries weight; if wasted, it leads to loss, but if invested in faith, good deeds, truthfulness and patience, it becomes a source of salvation. The beginning of a new year, therefore, should not be seen merely as a change of dates, but as an opportunity to renew our commitment to living with purpose, discipline and devotion.

The essence of 'Islam'

 

My dear disciples,

Assalamu Alaikum Wa Rahmatullah Wa Barakaatuhu.

I hope and pray that you have maximised your time in spiritual learning and reinforcing your ties of brotherhood and sisterhood during this blessed Jalsa Salana event. May Allah always maintain you on the way of rectitude and grant you relief from all burdens and difficulties of life, and encourage you in His way to promote His will in the world. Ameen. 

You should know that one of the most essential qualities of a true believer is their Submission to the Will of Allah and having a firm belief in His Divine Plan.

Submission to the will of Allah is the very heart of faith and the essence of Islam. The word ‘Islam’ itself means submission and peace, and it refers to the surrender of one’s entire being to the Creator. Allah commands in the Holy Qur’an: “O you who believe! Enter into Islam completely and do not follow the footsteps of Satan; indeed, he is to you a clear enemy.” (Al-Baqara 2: 209)

 

This verse makes clear that submission is not partial or selective; it is complete, unconditional, and sincere. It is not only the outward act of obedience but also the inward surrender of the heart, mind, and soul to the Divine Will. To submit is to recognise that Allah alone is the Sovereign, and His decree governs all creation.
