 *A Message 4 You*

[[--- Part 33 ---]]
------------------

بسم الله الرحمان الرجيم

The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) was asked for advice. One simple, powerful rule. He didn’t talk about prayer first. He didn’t talk about fasting first. He said: “Do not get angry.” The man asked again and again, hoping for another answer. Each time, the Prophet (pbuh) gave the same command: “Do not get angry.” 📚Related by Bukhari & Muslim

Why?

Because the Prophet knew something terrifying.

Anger is a monster that lives inside you and I. Yes. And when you let it out, it does not hurt the other person first. It destroys YOU from the inside. It burns your good deeds to ashes.

My People ,

That argument in your home? That moment your spouse says something that makes your blood boil? That is a TRAP. It is a test from Allah (swt).

If you shout, if you curse, if you say cruel words to break your partner, you have LOST. Yes. You have failed the test. You have just thrown away mountains of rewards and opened a door to punishment.

The Prophet (pbuh) told us who the truly strong person is. It is NOT the one who shouts the loudest or who can win a fight. “The strong person is the one who controls himself at the time of anger.” 📚Source: S‌ah‌i‌h‌ al-Bukha‌ri‌ 6114, S‌ah‌i‌h‌ Muslim 2609

Think about that.

On the Day of Judgment, Allah (swt) will not ask how many arguments you won. HE will ask how many arguments you stopped. How many times you swallowed what makes you angry for His sake.

A wise man said:

"Anger is the key to all evil." One moment of rage can:

(1) Make you say words that shatter your marriage like glass. Words you can never take back.

(2) Make you hurt the people you love most.

(3) Make you lose the respect of your children.

(4) Erase years of good deeds in a single second.

Slaves of Allah!

When someone makes you angry, and you feel that fire rising in your chest—that is your moment of GREAT OPPORTUNITY. Yes. That is the moment Allah (swt) is watching you. If you remember HIM and control yourself, you are not weak. You are a SPIRITUAL WARRIOR.

Allah (swt) has promised something huge for those who control their anger. He calls them “the doers of good” in the same verse with people who who frequently give sadaqah in the times they have much and in the times they don't have much.

ٱلَّذِينَ يُنفِقُونَ فِي ٱلسَّرَّآءِ وَٱلضَّرَّآءِ وَٱلۡكَٰظِمِينَ ٱلۡغَيۡظَ وَٱلۡعَافِينَ عَنِ ٱلنَّاسِۗ وَٱللَّهُ يُحِبُّ ٱلۡمُحۡسِنِينَ

"Who spend [in the cause of Allāh] during ease and hardship and who restrain anger and who pardon the people - and Allāh loves the doers of good" 📚(Qur'an, 3:134)

Now,

Every time you control your anger for Allah’s sake, an angel records for you a reward so great it cannot be measured. You store up treasures in Paradise that no one can see. You build a palace in the Hereafter with your patience.

So from today, make this promise to Allah:

“Oh Allah, the next time my spouse, my child, or anyone tries to make me angry, I will see it as a gift from You. It is my chance to earn Your pleasure. I will be silent. I will walk away. I will make wudu. I will not let the devil win. I will not let anger steal my rewards.”
