Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, I am fifty years old and I have a lack of control over my nerves and I snap at my children. What are the causes of this? And what are the means that help in the expansion of my heart? May Allah reward you.
Answer:
The causes of this are from Shaytan and from the self when it sees evil. So you must control yourself when angry. Allah the Exalted said:[Ash-Shuraa 42:37] He the Exalted said: So [Al-A'raf 7:201] Exalted [Al-A'raf 7:200] He is the All-Hearing, the All-Knowing. One deals with it by seeking refuge; if you find anger, you seek refuge from Shaytan, because anger is from Shaytan.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you with good.
