Controlling Anger - Khutbah by Nouman Ali Khan

This khutbah was recorded at the Bayyinah Foundation Musalla on Oct. 27, 2017.

In the Quran, Allah uses two words to refer to anger: ghaydh and ghadab. While ghaydh describes rage that is brewing inside the heart, ghadab means anger that lashes out, unrestrained. Allah teaches us that in some cases anger can be overwhelming and justified. In Surah Al-Fath, revealed after Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) signed the Treaty of Hudaybiyah, his companions refused to obey him at first. However, they did so calmly at a moment of extreme frustration. Yet Allah does not reprimand them; on the contrary He praises them for their restraint. In one hadith, Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) compares anger to a lump of burning coal that scorches all the goodness we have in our hearts. It is a disease that, if uncontained, will take away our peace of mind. We must never let anger overtake us because it is the work of shaytan.

I am literally tearing up while watching this
I have a strong relationship with my mum, she is literally like my best friend
Which I sometimes see as a disadvantage because we tend to fight
And sometimes I can’t control my anger and I say things that I don’t actually mean and I always feel a huge amount of guilt afterwards
This helped me
May God forgive all our sins and make us closer to the people we love

When my dad used to get angry, he used to take it all on me. Verbally and physically. I am 16 now and yet this continues. I feel as if nothing will make him happy. I hope that allah makes life easy for me and make me understand why this is happenings

You know what I just came to realised (by the Qadr of Allâh) while watching this. Anger can ruin one's ability to properly make good decisions.

I wish Ustad Nouman Ali Khan were my uncle. I'm having anger problem since the age of 13. Now I'm 17 and trying a lot to control my anger. Nouman Ali is a very good guide for the youngsters. Let's try to follow the footsteps of our beloved Prophet Muhammad (sm) like this and surely we r gonna shine.

I can convert my emotional tides into creativity. In pain and suffering there are hidden treasures very few knows 😊 We have to be conciouse about our subconscious that's what the Quran teaches . The deeper study of the Quran makes a man or a woman an alchemist Alhamdolilah 💫 🪽 blessings

I am so glad that i found this vdeo in my suggestion
Today only i got angry at some situation though m not short tempered at all but sometime i just cannot listen to all the allegations.
But i was very guilty of my anger i apologise to God n cried too.
N the next minute i found this vdeo without searching
Allah is great He guides He helps He forgives
I can feel his presence everywhere every second of my life.
