Question:
salaam Sayyadi,
May Allah bless you for this magnificent website.. ya Shaykh, I have a really bad problem with anger. Can you give me something to read to reduce anger and some heavenly advice? Thank you for all that you have done for me
Answer:
wa `alaykum salam wa Rahmatullahi wa barakatuh,
A`udhu billahi min ash-shaytani ‘r-rajeem
Bismillahi ‘r-Rahmani ‘r-Rahim
Salaams from Mawlana Shaykh Hisham InshaAllah,
Do your best to wake up some time before Fajr and recite Ya Halim 100x a day and pray Salat an-Najat. Imagine that Allah’s Attribute of Forbearance dressing you and keep asking shafa`ah of Prophet (saws) to heal you from anger.
Shaykh Hisham has a section in Sufi Science of Self Realization on Ghadab – Anger for us to read and gain perspective. Study your anger and try to find the roots of anger when it comes up or is ‘sparked’ and use your will power to prevent it from spilling out. Each day keep fighting it to try and make it less with stead fastness and inshaAllah you will improve with the support of our Shuyukh.
W ‘allahu `Alam,
Kamau Ayyubi
