The last blog was discussing a Hadith found in Sahih Bukhari, number 6116, and the importance of controlling one’s anger.
As discussed in an earlier blog anger within limits can be useful. It should be used for repelling harm to one’s self, faith, and possessions which if done correctly, according to the teachings of Islam, is counted as anger for the sake of Allah, the Exalted. This was the state of the Holy Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, who was never angered for his own sake. He only became angry for the sake of Allah, the Exalted, which is confirmed in a Hadith found in Sahih Muslim, number 6050. The character of the Holy Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, was the Holy Quran, which has been advised in a Hadith found in Sahih Muslim, number 1739. This means he would be pleased with what the Holy Quran was pleased with and angered with what it was angered with.
It is important to note, that becoming angry only for the sake of Allah, the Exalted, is praiseworthy but if this anger leads one to exceed the limits of Islam then it becomes blameworthy. It is absolutely vital for one to control their anger according to the teachings of Islam even when they are angered for the sake of Allah, the Exalted. A Hadith found in Sunan Abu Dawud, number 4901, warns of a worshipper who angrily claimed Allah, the Exalted, would not forgive a particular sinful person. As a result this worshipper will be sent to Hell while the sinner will be forgiven on Judgment Day.
The origins of evil consist of four things: failing to control one’s desire, fear, evil appetites and anger. Therefore, the one who accepts the advice of this Hadith will remove a quarter of evil from their character and life.
To conclude, it is vital for muslims to control their anger so it does not cause them to act or speak in a way which will lead to a great regret in both this world and the next.
