Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. Your Excellency the Shaykh, he also has a final question in this message. He says: Anger is a path to mocking people, ridiculing them, depriving them of their rights, harming them, and so on. How does a Muslim control himself from anger in this blessed, honorable month while he is fasting?

Answer:
He controls himself from anger by remembering Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He). And those who
and when they are angry, they forgive,وَإِذَا مَا غَضِبُوا هُمْ يَغْفِرُونَ
[Ash-Shuraa 42:37]
do not react to anger. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) guided that if a Muslim becomes angry while standing, he should sit, and if he becomes angry while sitting, he should lie down. This is so that the anger subsides from him and departs from him, and he does not react to the anger. Yes.
