How do I control anger as a Muslim?

"He—may اللّٰه have mercy on him—has a work on this subject, in which he elaborated on it in about twenty different ways, but this is not the place to mention them. The purpose here is to discuss patience, its reality, its levels, and its rank. And اللّٰه is the one who grants success. §§U0007§§ Chapter: Types of Patience Patience by اللّٰه, for اللّٰه, and with اللّٰه Chapter: Types of Patience Patience is of three types: patience by اللّٰه, patience for اللّٰه, and patience with اللّٰه."

"Patience is of three types: patience by اللّٰه, patience for اللّٰه, and patience with اللّٰه. The first type is patience through seeking help from Him, recognizing that He is the one who grants patience. As اللّٰه says in the القُرْآن: "And be patient, and your patience is not but through اللّٰه." This means that if He does not grant you patience, you will not be patient."

"while the previous one pertains to description and quality. عَلِيّ بْن أَبِي طَالِب, may اللّٰه be pleased with him, said: "Patience is a mount that never stumbles." A man approached الشِّبْلِيّ and asked, "Which type of patience is the hardest for those who are patient?" الشِّبْلِيّ replied, "Patience for the sake of اللّٰه." The questioner said, "No." الشِّبْلِيّ then said, "Patience for اللّٰه." Again, the questioner said, "No." الشِّبْلِيّ continued, "Patience with اللّٰه." The questioner still said, "No." الشِّبْلِيّ asked, "Then what is it?" The man replied, "Patience away from اللّٰه." الشِّبْلِيّ let out a cry that nearly caused his soul to depart."

"and nothing can resist it or stand against it. This is the patience of those with spiritual states and influence. Patience for اللّٰه is the patience of the worshippers and ascetics. Therefore, despite their sincerity, asceticism, and patience for اللّٰه, they are weaker than those who are patient through Him. Hence, it is said: The weakest form of patience is patience for اللّٰه."

"The Prophet, peace be upon him, said, "Anger corrupts faith as patience sours honey." He also said, "No one gets angry without being on the brink of Hell." A man asked him, "What is most severe upon God? He said, "The anger of God. The man asked, "What keeps me away from God's anger? He replied, "Do not get angry." Al-Hasan said, "O son of Adam, every time you get angry, you leap, and soon you may leap in a way that lands you in the fire."

"Ali, may Allah be pleased with him, said that the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, would not become angry for worldly matters, but if truth angered him, he would not be recognizable to anyone, and nothing could withstand his anger until he achieved justice. Thus, he would become angry at the truth, and if his anger was for the sake of Allah, it was, in general, a form of turning to intermediaries. In fact, anyone who becomes angry at someone who seizes his necessary food and his indispensable needs for his religion is indeed angry for the sake of Allah, and there can be no separation from this."

"one being lust and the other being anger (lust seeks pleasure while anger seeks to escape pain) — fasting is categorized as patience only concerning the dictates of lust, specifically the lusts of the stomach and the private parts, and not concerning anger. Therefore, fasting is considered half of patience, because complete patience involves resisting both lustful desires and those of anger."

"loss of wealth, illness, blindness, disfigurement, and various forms of tribulation. Patience in these situations is considered one of the highest forms of patience. Ibn Abbas, may Allah be pleased with him, explained that patience in the Qur'an appears in three forms: patience in performing Allah’s obligations, patience in refraining from prohibitions, and patience upon receiving calamity at the first blow."

"Additional interpretations state patience for God brings enrichment, patience with God entails loyalty, and patience from God is ingratitude. And it is said, "Patience away from you yields disreputable outcomes... patience in all other matters is commended." It is also said, "Patience is fitting in all situations... except from you, for it is unseemly.""

"Fear God in abandoning it - meaning do not abandon patience, for goodness and safety lie in patience - and the Prophet, may God's peace and blessings be upon him and his family and companions, said: "Patience is to faith as the head is to the body." And it was said: Everything has a reward in proportion, except the reward of patience, for it is boundless and immeasurable. As He, the Exalted, said: "Indeed, the patient will be given their reward" "Patience is to faith as the head is to the body," because patience is involved in every aspect, indeed in every matter of religion, so it is to faith as the head is to a person."
