CONTROL YOUR ANGER: 14

READ "اعوذ باللہ"

Whenever you start feeling angry and you feel you will be overcome by your anger, first do what the Holy Quran has advised us to do. Allah Ta’alah says;

وَاِمَّا يَنۡزَغَـنَّكَ مِنَ الشَّيۡطٰنِ نَزۡغٌ فَاسۡتَعِذۡ بِاللّٰهِ (۷: ۲۰۰)‌ؕ

“Should a stroke from the Satan strike you, seek refuge with Allah. Surely, He is All-Hearing, All-Knowing.” [7:200] This means that whenever we feel that the Satan is trying to incite us to commit a sin, we should seek Allah’s refuge and recite "اعوذ باللہ من الشیطان الرجیم". If we do so, Insha'Allah (God willing) Allah Ta’alah will then protect us from the bad consequences of our anger. Therefore, we should try to practice and develop this habit that whenever we start becoming angry, we read … اعوذ باللہ.
