๐ In The Name Of Allah The Most Gracious The Most Merciful
๐ Three instances when being angry is justified:
When some devalue Allah's Laws and Rights due to pride,
When liars spread lies despite warning them countless times,
And when your scolding is intended to make things right,
While anger signifies care and concern from inside.
~•~
When would holding your temper be a choice that is wise,
And instead of reacting, you keep fury inside?
When a culprit did something wrongly for the first time,
When faults are accidental and one apologized,
And the scoundrel was coerced or they're still a young child.
~•~
What you can do when furious feelings begin to rise:
Seek Allah's Refuge from shaytan who gets satisfied
When you lose control and act in ways undignified.
Perform ablution. Flee situations you dislike.
Avoid toxic people and to Allah calmly cry.
~•~
Imagine trolls and troublemakers as nosy spies
Rehearsing their acts so you're triggered, antagonized,
Or compelled to misbehave to spoil your blissful life.
Minimize dealing with them. Don't do what they desire.
Pray that Allah keeps you firm against their wrongs and lies.
~•~
See foes as pesky flies that like to approach bright light.
Perhaps they're sent by Allah to test your faith inside.
Aim to please Allah by striving to fight ego, pride,
And shaytan when he wants you to unjustly revile.
Silence may be safer than always proving you're right.

Whoever restrains his anger, Allah will restrain his punishment on the Day of Resurrection. Whoever apologizes to Allah, Allah the Almighty will accept his apology."
