Question

How should we practice patience and control our anger?

Answer 1

Do the opposite of what your anger and frustration tell you to do.  You have to realize that some types people are simply incompatible with each other.  If you recognize when a person is incompatible to you then you can treat them with an indifference that will avoid conflict.  If however you allow an incompatible person to catch you off guard then of course you're going to get upset.  You also have to realize that nobody is worth it.  There are causes for which you should let your rage rain upon the world, but they are few.  What you need is a healthy outlet, something that will keep you from bottling things up until you kill a cashier for giving you the wrong change.  I personally take it out on a 100 lb. punching bag.  I don't know how it works, but it does.

Answer 3

Well good question, when your angry its really the jinn whispering in your ear, making the situation sound much worse then it really is,

so if you find yourself in getting anry about something, you should right away say, "A'aoudo bilahi min ishaytaun ir rajeem" sry for my spelling, and also start thinking about Allah, recite the fatiha,

and move from the place you are in, for instance if you are sitting while you are angry, you should get up and walk away from that spot, and if you are lieing down you should sit up, and recite what i said above, and if you are standing either just walk away from the position you are in at the time.

If you are finding yourself getting very unpatient you should start saying Allahu Akbar, and think of Allah, and ask Allah to give you the strength to not give in to the jinn.

And just remember its really the shayatan whispering in your ear trying to make things look bad and make you feel right about being upset, or unpatient!

Good luck and i hope this helps :)
