Anger Management ~ Some Solutions and Remedies
1. Seeking refuge in Allah from the Shaytaan. One should read: A’oozu Billaahi Minashaytaanir Rajeem. Rasulullah Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam has said :
إِنِّي لأَعْلَمُ كَلِمَةً لَوْ قَالَهَا لَذَهَبَ غَضَبُهُ أَعُوذُ بِاللَّهِ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ الرَّجِيمِ
Verily, I know a statement, that if he were to say it,
his anger would leave: “I seek refuge in Allah from Shaitan, the rejected” [Tirmidhi]
2. Remain Silent. Rasulullah Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam has said :
وَإِذَا غَضِبَ أَحَدُكُمْ فَلْيَسْكُتْ.
. … “When one of you is angry, he should be silent.” [Al-Adab Al-Mufrad]
3.Make Whudu.:-
Rasulullah Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam has said :
إِنَّ الْغَضَبَ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ وَإِنَّ الشَّيْطَانَ خُلِقَ مِنَ النَّارِ وَإِنَّمَا تُطْفَأُ النَّارُ بِالْمَاءِ فَإِذَا غَضِبَ أَحَدُكُمْ فَلْيَتَوَضَّأْ …
“Anger comes from the devil, the devil was created of fire, and fire is extinguished only with water; so when one of you becomes angry, he should perform ablution.” [Sunan Abi Dawood]
4. Sit or Lie Down:-
Rasulullah Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam has said :
إِذَا غَضِبَ أَحَدُكُمْ وَهُوَ قَائِمٌ فَلْيَجْلِسْ فَإِنْ ذَهَبَ عَنْهُ الْغَضَبُ وَإِلاَّ فَلْيَضْطَجِعْ …
“When one of you becomes angry while standing, he should sit down. If the anger leaves him, well and good; otherwise he should lie down”. [Sunan Abi Dawood]
