The Cure for Quick Anger

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This person says, “I love you for the sake of Allah. I am quick to anger, and I speak harshly to whoever angers me, then I regret it quickly. How can I overcome this completely?”

Answer:
Allah, Mighty and Majestic, said:
and when they are angry, they forgive,وَإِذَا مَا غَضِبُوا هُمْ يَغْفِرُونَ
[Ash-Shuraa 42:37]
And the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
The strong-man is not one who wrestles well but the strong man is one who controls himself when he is in a fit of rage.ليس الشديد بالصرعة، إنما الشديد الذي يملك نفسه عند الغضب
Sahih Muslim 2609a
So the truly strong one is the one who controls himself and prevents himself from anger; that is the strong one. Allah, Mighty and Majestic, said, “And if a whisper from Satan comes to you,” and He said:
(199) Take what is given freely, enjoin what is good, and turn away from the ignorant. (200) And if an evil suggestion comes to you from Satan, then seek refuge in Allah. Indeed, He is Hearing and Knowing.خُذِ الْعَفْوَ وَأْمُرْ بِالْعُرْفِ وَأَعْرِضْ عَنِ الْجَاهِلِينَ وَإِمَّا يَنزَغَنَّكَ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ نَزْغٌ فَاسْتَعِذْ بِاللَّهِ إِنَّهُ سَمِيعٌ عَلِيمٌ
[Al-A'raf 7:199-200]
So when you feel anger, seek refuge in Allah from the accursed Shaytan. By doing so, the anger will be removed from you, by the permission of Allah. Yes.

May Allah reward you,
