Control over Anger Laisash-shadeedu bis-sur`ati, inna-mash-shadeedul-lazi yamliku nafsa-hoo ‘indal-ghazabi The strong person is not he who defeats others in wrestling. The strong person is he who has full control over himself during his anger ( Bukhari--Kitabul Adab ) As one’s ego constantly incites one to do evil deeds, one’s real jihad is with one’s own self. Anger leads to extreme behaviour and deprives one of the chance to have a balanced conduct which is a characteristic of a true believer. The Holy Qur'an (3:135) describes the God-fearing people as those who suppress their anger and forgive oth- ers. So, one’s true strength is revealed only when one succeeds in suppressing one’s rage and does not behave in an extreme manner. 23.
