We Muslims, are followers of Prophet Mohammad (PBUH), right? What better example of patience do we have than that of our own blessed Prophet himself?
Prophet Mohammad (PBUH), who was sent to mankind to teach them good moral conduct, learned to control his anger toward the Unbelievers and teach them appropriate expressions. He used to speak against being angry. We think that we have it tough, when one of his days was probably tougher than the whole of our lifetimes! When we look at his life, our own difficulties seem so pathetic in comparison. Imagine spending 13 years completely devoting his life spreading the word of Islam and suffering hardship. This was a man who had the burden of the whole of mankind's future on his shoulder. Yet he had the tolerance and self-discipline to be able to forgive those around him who were themselves so ignorant.
The best example of this was when the Prophet (saw) went to a place called Ta'if. This was at the time when the followers of Islam were at their weakest and the Prophet himself had suffered the loss of both his wife Khadijah (May Allah be pleased with her) and his uncle Abu Talib. He went to this town in the hope that they would listen to what he had to say. Instead he was insulted and chased out of the town by the children who threw stones at him till (it was described) the blood flowed from his body to his feet making his sandals sticky with his own blood. The Prophet was so depressed that he prayed to Allah, who then sent down the Angel of the mountains who asked for the Prophet's permission to fold the mountains together and crush to death all those that lived there. But what was the prophet's reply? "Yes, kill them all as they did not listen to me"? No, off course not! His answer was "No, I hope Allah will bring from them people who will worship Allah alone, associating none with Him."
This was the example of the Prophet, even though he felt bitterness and was very angry with them, he had the discipline and control to not let his emotions control his actions and he forgave them realizing that they were merely misguided.
One companion asked him, Give me some advice by virtue of which I hope for good in the life hereafter, and he said, "Don't be angry." Another person asked, what will save me from the wrath of God, and he said, "Do not express your anger." A third person asked three times, 0 Messenger of Allah, give me an order to do a short good deed, and he said, "Don't be angry." Once he asked a question of his companion, "Who among you do you consider a strong man?" They said, the one who can defeat so-and-so wrestler in a fight, and he said, that is not so. The one who is strong is the one who can control himself at the time of anger. He also said that anger is like fire, which destroys you from within, and it can also lead you to the fire of hell by your own expressions of anger unjustly.
So being angry is similar to being drunk. In both cases, we do not know what we are doing, hurting ourselves or someone else, and afterwards when the intoxication is over, we repent.
Sheikh Hassan Al Basri said that one of the signs of the Believers is that his anger does not prevail over him.
One should distinguish between natural response to wrongdoing and disbelief. A person who has no feelings about oppression, wrongdoing and disbelief is, in fact, an impotent person emotionally. It has been said, "Evil flourishes when a few good people do not do anything to oppose it." Thus response to injustice and operation in a civilized way is the appropriate expression of anger. Being neutral to injustice is equal to contributing to injustice.
Caliph Ali was once fighting in a war imposed on Muslims, and the chief of the Unbelievers confronted him. During the fight, the Ali was able to overcome him, who fell down on the ground and Ali was about to kill him. This person, knowing his fate now, had no choice so he spit on the face of Ali. Ali immediately got up and left him alone. The man came running to him and asked, "You had a chan ce to kill me since I am a Polytheist; how come you didn't use your sword?" Ali said, "I have no personal animosity toward you. I was fighting you because of your disbeliever, on behalf of God. If I had killed you after you spat on my face, then it would have become my personal revenge which I do not wish to take." That Unbeliever chief became a Muslim immediately and testified that 'There is no god but Allah, and that Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) is the Messenger of Allah'.
When Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) became angry at someone else's wrong actions or disbeliefs, he never expressed it with his hand or tongue. His companions knew that he was angry by just looking at his face, which would turn red and with some sweat on his forehead, and he would keep quiet for a moment, trying to control himself.
What happens to us physiologically when we are angry?
Our heart beats rate and blood pressure go up; this is a direct effect of excessive adrenalin in our system. Our physical strength increases although spiritual strength decreases. Our intellect or power to reason disappears, and things we would not justify in a normal state become acceptable.
How can we defeat anger?
To root out anger is impossible and unnatural, and may even be harmful. But what we should do is to control this feeling and do not let it lead us to what's wrong and forbidden in our religion (Islam).
Firstly I advise you to avoid too much sensitivity that makes you "deaf, dumb and mute." For some people getting engaged in something else that diverts their attention away from what's angers them can be useful. For others, engaging in remembrance of God or meditation might work, but for common folk, they need some worldly tools.
Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) had advised us that when angry, one should try to change his body position. Meaning, if you're standing up, sit down, and if you're sitting down stand up. If this didn't work, then go and wash and get prepared for praying.
When you're angry, thin k of Allah. Think of Allah's anger and punishment. Is Allah's wrath less than your wrath? And what happens when He expresses His wrath? We humans who seek forgiveness from Allah must forgive others first. When one forgives someone else, it establishes peace and tranquility in one's heart.
The first attribute of Allah that we Muslims are reminded (of) is Ar Rahman-Ar Rahim that is, Kind and Merciful. God Himself said, my mercy overtakes my wrath, and He told in one of the Hadith Qudusi, 'O son of Adam, when you get angry, remember Me." Thus, remembrance of God and meditation will put us on the right track. One of the meditation words is ya Halim (Patient), which is one of the attributes of God, being the Mild One. One can also pray to God to take control. We must also think that our life that is so dear to us, is a temporary life, and we must not forget our death and destroy the life of eternity at the cost of this life. Washing one's face with cold water or taking a cold shower is also helpful.
That is how the saying, "turn the other cheek" came about. One will become a calm person when he makes peace with himself, Allah and his surroundings. Anger is a costly weed; it costs one his health, life in this world, and the life in the Hereafter. This weed must be rooted out to allow the healthy plant of righteousness, piety and obeying Allah nurture and grow. Also anger is one of the weapons of Satan, we should be careful that we do not fall prey to his weapons, rather we should protect ourselves by being patient.

Islamic anger management (PART 1)
Many people now are unable to control themselves and end up arguing with others, often the ones that they love - their parents, their brothers, their sisters, their husbands or wives. Here we're listing some reasons that stir people's anger and ways given from the Qur'an and Sunnah to overcome this anger and control yourself.
When first God created humanity, He created many emotions and desires within each person, which we call human instincts. These include positive qualities such as recognizing truth and expressing it, love and compassion, pure physiological desires such as being thirsty, hungry and in need of sex.
Then there are some negative qualities such as hate and anger, with resultant violence and dejection.
Allah says in the Qur'an:
"And when your Lord said to the angles, "I am creating successors on the earth." They said, "Will You create on it those who will spread corruption and spill blood, although we celebrate Your praise and extol Your Holiness?" He said," I know what you do not know." (Qur'an 2:30)
Also Allah instilled some protective mechanisms for fighting these negative instincts.
Allah says in the Holy Qur'an:
"Man was created weak."
During the moment of weakness, we succumb to the designs of our enemy, that is, the devil, who "will attack us from front, from behind, from the side," in order to divert us from God consciousness and return to our animistic nature. Thus anger by itself is not unnatural; it is the expression of anger which is done wrongfully, can lead to problems. The difference between the wild beasts and wild humans is the difference of free will.
When a lion or a wolf is angry, he does not think. When a man becomes angry as a result of provocation, he has a choice to control his anger or to respond to it as he has learned from the Qur'an and from Prophet Mohammad's teachings, or forget all that and become a wild animal. Thus anger takes place when we are not in control of ourselves, but the devil is controlling us. Anger in itself is a natural feeling, Allah has put such feeling inside us to react against what's harming us, for instance to protect our lives, our properties, and our families. Yet we shouldn't over do that. Meaning it is ok to feel angry, but it is dangerous and forbidden by Allah to surrender to your anger and follow it to as far as it takes you (for it might drive you to killing somebody).
Anger is a de stabilizing thought. It is the most dividing emotion between friends; it takes away judgment, leads to depression, madness and wrong actions that we would repent later on when we are not angry. But why do we get angry to begin with? It is either an unexpected provocation or unexpected situation which leads to frustration and an angry response.
During anger, one can physically or verbally abuse a person that he or she loves, hurt another living being like an animal, or during the dejection phase of anger, one can even hurt him- or herself and even commit suicide. Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) gave us the medicine for that saying:
"Shake hands and rancor will disappear. Give gifts to each other and love each other and enmity will disappear".
Also Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) said:
"A strong person is not the person who throws his adversaries to the ground. A strong person is the one who contains himself when he is angry".
The point is that the natural fulfillment of normal desires, whether in terms of food or sex, is a prerequisite for prevention of anger. There are many chemicals and hormones which affect our moods and behavior. It is well known that hypoglycemia and hyperthyroidism precipitate irritability when feeling angry. We must keep our hormones in balance in addition to facilitate our spiritual well-being.

RAHSIA 090909
salam, just nak kongsi 1 article dari blog someone...menarik gak...bacalah dibawah....
090909 & Ramadhan 19
Salam Aura 99
HARI INI RABU 09hb SEPTEMBER 2009. Hari ini juga dikenali sebagai 090909. Ramai yang menanti tarikh ini.. ramai yang menanti detiknya tiba. Bukan kerana sesat atau taksub kepada apa-apa kepercayaan karut tentang nombor yang kononnya membawa tuah atau malang terhadap nasib. Tapi lebih kerana keunikkan susunannya yang membariskan angka 9 di setiap lapis atau tingkatnya iaitu HH:BB:YY. Samalah seperti halnya tahun lepas ketika Hari Pembukaan Sukan Olimpik 2008 di Beijing China pada 080808 (08hb Ogos, 2008) dimana tersusunnya angka 888. Senario yang berlaku 100 tahun sekali ini tentunya memberi peluang sekali seumur hidup (andaian manusia mempunyai purata umur hidup bawah 100 tahun) untuk mereka yang berkesempatan menempuh saat berlakunya tarikh itu. Samalah halnyaFENOMENA 1 – 9 pada 07hb Ogos, 2009 lalu yang berlaku sekali seumur hidup!
Fenomena deretan angka 999 pada hari ini mencapai KEMUNCAKnya pada JAM 09h:09m:09s. Maka jika disusun semua hasilnya :09:09:09 pada 09/09/09. Kehadiran 6 angka 9 itu amat unik dimana angka 6 itu sendiri umpama simbol angka 9 yang terbalik. Manakala susunan keduanya iaitu 69 dilihat sebagai sebuah bulatan penuh. Masyarakat china melihatnya sebagai SIMBOL KESEIMBANGAN Yin-Yang yang membawa maksud kesejahteraan dan kestabilan dalam HUKUM PASANGAN.
KEHADIRAN FENOMENA TARIKH 090909 atau 999 ini juga amat UNIK dan MENARIK apabila ianya BUKAN HANYA SEKADAR MENERANGKANFAKTA – HARI KE 9 DI BULAN YANG KE 9 PADA TAHUN 20 09, ianya SEBENARNYA JUGA HADIR PADA :
MINGGU KE 36 BAGI TAHUN 2009. angka 36 membawa nilai akhir 3+6 = 9!!
JUGA.. HARI INI ADALAH HARI KE 252 BAGI TAHUN 2009. angka 252 membawa nilai akhir 2+5+2 = 9!!!
apakah ini KEBETULAN atau ianya SURATAN yang punya RAHSIA TARIKH yang TERSIRAT!! ayuh renung-renungkan…
SUSUNAN 999 tentunya amat sinonim bagi masyarakat kita. Nombor 999 amat dikenali sebagai NOMBOR KECEMASAN. Ia nombor penting untuk menghubungi agensi keselamatan negara melalui telefon tatkala ada kecemasan yang memerlukan pihak keselamatan seperti Polis, Bomba, Rescue 991 ataupun Ambulan. Nombor ringkas dan universal ini dipilih atas faktor keunikan susunannya. Ia adalah TALIAN PANAS.. ia TALIAN HAYAT.. ia TALIAN PENTING.. ia TALIAN ‘RESCUE’… Malah statistik menunjukkan bahawa ia adalah nombor yang paling kerap di panggil setiap hari di Malaysia!!. Ia adalah PERCUMA namun jika panggilan PALSU yang dibuat, pemanggilnya boleh didenda!!
999 juga adalah nama sebuah RANCANGAN POPULAR di TV3 yang memaparkan isu-isu keselamatan, kecemasan dan undang-undang. Rancangan bersifat dokumentari & bersiaran langsung ini mendapat ‘rating’ tinggi saban minggu melibatkan agensi keselamatan negara terutamanya pihak Polis dalam berbagai kes dan peritiwa.
Angka 9
Angka 9 merupakan angka yang berada paling akhir dalam susunan set nombor asas 1 hingga 9. Ia adalah simbol nombor terakhir yang memiliki kuantiti nilai yang paling besar dalam set nombor tersebut. (1 adalah nombor terawal dalam set susunan nombor dan memiliki nilai terkecil) Angka 9 juga amat istimewa dalam ilmu metamatika. Contohnya susunan 999 jika di campur seluruh angkanya lalu dikecilkan jumlah tersebut kepada angka sa terakhir akan membawa kita kembali ke angka 9:
999 = 9+9+9 = 27
27 = 2+7 = 9
Berapun jumlah 9 dalam sesuatu susunan angka 9, jumlah akhirnya adalah 9 :
9999999999999999999 (ada 19 kali nombor 9)
9+9+9+9+9+9+9+9+9+9+9+9+9+9+9+9+9+9+9 = 171
171 = 1+7+1 = 9
Seolah-olah angka yang BERKUASA atau RAJA.. nombor 9 muncul (sebagai nombor akhir yang dicampur) dalam gandaannya sendiri:
1X9 = 9
2X9 = 18 @ 1+8 = 9
3X9 = 27 @ 2+7 = 9
4X9= 36 @ 3+6 = 9 hingga seterusnya… contoh
9999 x 9 = 89991 @ 8+9+9+9+1 = 36 @ 3+6 = 9
Lagaknya umpama RAJA.. Jika bersama angka lain, ia “sembunyi” disebalik angka tersebut (maksud: sewaktu berjalan seseorang pemimpin @ raja akan didahului dengan pengawalnya) :
19 (angka 1 bersama @ bertemu 9) = 1+9 = 10 @ 1+0 = 1 (angka 9 tersembunyi @ hilang)
49 (angka 4 bertemu 9) = 4+9 = 13 @ 1+3 = 4
maka, jika apa-apa susunan nombor bertemu angka 9, jumlah akhir yang dikecilkan (dicampurkan) adalah dengan membuangkan angka 9 dari kiraan tersebut ;
1111999 adalah 1+1+1+1= 4
(1+1+1+1+9+9+9 = 31 @ 3+1 = 4)
HAH!! Kini anda pasti boleh mencampurkan dengan mudah & cepat jumlah akhir terkecil (disebut juga nilai Gemetrikal @ nilai Gt) bagi angka 99,999,999,99
Nilai Gt akhirnya adalah = 9 (!!!)
HEBATNYA ANGKA 9 INI dalam ARENANYA (ILMU NOMBOR)!! UMPAMA SEBUAH “WAJAH” ATAU “KOD RAHSIA” YANG ALLAH PAPARKAN PADA ALAM UNTUK KITA FIKIR & RENUNGKAN..
TIDAK HAIRANLAH MENGAPA ALLAH MEMILIKI ASMA YANG 99 JUMLAHNYA!!
“Dialah Allah, tidak ada Tuhan (yang berhak disembah) melainkan Dia, Dia mempunyai Asmaaul Husna (nama-nama yang baik).” – Al-Quran, Surah Thaa-Haa :8
Katakanlah: “Serulah Allah atau serulah Ar-Rahman. Dengan nama yang mana saja kamu seru, Dia mempunyai al asmaaulhusna (nama-nama yang terbaik) dan janganlah kamu mengeraskan suaramu dalam salatmu dan janganlah pula merendahkannya dan carilah jalan tengah di antara kedua itu” – Al-Quran.Surah Al Israa’: 110
Dari Abu Huraira R.A.: Nabi saw. bersabda: “Allah itu memiliki sembilan puluh sembilannama yang bagus. Barang siapa yang mampu menghafalnya, maka dia akan masuk syurga. Sesungguhnya Allah itu ganjil [esa] dan Dia menyukai [bilangan] yang ganjil.” – Sahih Bukhari
HARI 090909 DI BULAN RAMADHAN (bulan ke 9)
Maha suci Allah yang maha menghitung (Al-Muhsi -Yang Maha Penghitung) telah mengaturkan PERISTIWA ini JATUH BERTEPATAN DI BULAN RAMADHAN iaitu bulan ke 9 pada KALENDAR HIJRAH (ISLAM). Ramadhan DIKENALI sebagai bulan AL MUBARAK (penuh kemuliaan, kebaikan & keberkatan). Dalam maksud lain: BULAN 9 dalam kalendar hijrah ini adalah bulan yang diangkat mulia seolah-olah menetakkan angka 9 pada satu darjat yang mulia.
Teringat akan kisah sejarah peristiwa ISRA’ MIKRAJyang berlaku di bulan SYAABAN. Rasul naik ke ‘Arasy (sesetengah berpendapat bahawa ianya berada pada tingkat langit ke 9) tanpa diteman Jibril untuk bertemu AL-KHALIQ (Al-Khaliq -Yang Maha Pencipta) secara ‘live’ & interpersonal.
RAMADHAN bulan ke 9. Hari ini hari ke 19 dalam bulan Ramadhan. Fenomena 090909 jatuh pada RAMADHAN 19!! Umpama RAHSIA NOMBOR 19yang memiliki berbagai TANDA-TANDA-NYA untuk difikir dan direnungi.
MAMPUKAH KITA MENAFIKAN ATURAN YANG MAHA CANTIK INI!!
TIDAKKAH KITA MAHU MEMIKIRKAN KEBETULAN-KEBETULAN YANG BANYAK INI ADALAH SEBENARNYA ADALAH PERTUNJUK JELAS DARI-NYA!!
HARI INI 19 RAMADHAN (bulan ke 9) di tahun 1430 hijrah. Ditulis sebagai 19 RAMADHAN 1430 atau 19 09 1430 >>>
19 09 1430 = 1+9+0+9+1+4+3+0 = 27 @ 2+7 = 9 (!!!!)
Adakah sekali lagi kebetulan, nilai Gt bagi tarikh hijrah hari ini adalah 9!!
Maha suci ALLAH yang memiliki 99 nama, yang memberi pertunjuk dan TANDA-TANDA yang terang melalui al-Quran sebagai AN-NUR untuk kita. Pandangan peribadi saya, al-Quran penuh denganRAHSIA yang tersirat melalui susunan-susunan angkanya. Lalu, ayuh kita renungi mesej ALLAH dalam kontek perbincangan kita ini:
Surah At-Taubah ( at-Tawbah, “Pengampunan”) adalah surah ke-9 dalam al-Quran. Surah ini tergolong surah Madaniyah yang terdiri atas 129 ayat. Dinamakan At-Taubah yang berarti “Pengampunan” karena kata At-Taubah berulang kali disebut dalam surah ini. Dinamakan juga dengan Baraah yang berarti berlepas diri. Berlepas diri disini maksudnya adalah pernyataan pemutusan perhubungan, disebabkan kebanyakan pokok pembicaraannya tentang pernyataan pemutusan perjanjian damai dengan kaum musyrikin.
Berbeza dengan surah-surah yang lain maka pada permulaan surat ini tidak terdapat ucapan BISMILLAH (kata bismillah terbina dari susunan 19 huruf-huruf arab) di awal surah kerana surah ini adalah pernyataan perang dengan erti bahawa segenap kaum muslimin dikerahkan untuk memerangi seluruh kaum musyrikin, sedangkan kata bismillah bernafaskan perdamaian dan cinta kasih Allah.
Surah ini diturunkan sesudah Rasulluah s.a.w. kembali dari peperangan Tabuk yang terjadi pada tahun 9 H. Pengumuman ini disampaikan oleh Ali bin Abi Talib pada musim haji tahun itu juga (info tambahan: Saidina Ali r.a. meninggal di usia 63 [6+3 = 9] tahun kerana pembunuhan oleh Abdrrahman bin Muljam, seseorang yang berasal dari golongan Khawarij (pembangkang) saat mengimami shalat subuh di masjid Kufah, pada tanggal 19 RAMADHAN!! – iaitu hari ini – Al-Fatihah untuk Saidina Ali)
Antara pokok-pokok isi di dalam surah ini adalah:
- Keimanan
- Allah selalu menyertai hamba-hamba-Nya yang beriman
- Pembalasan atas amalan-amalan manusia hanya dari Allah
- Segala sesuatu menurut sunnatullah
- Perlindungan Allah bagi orang-orang yang beriman
- Kedudukan Nabi Muhammad s.a.w. di sisi Allah.
- Hukum-hukum
- Kewajiban menafkahkan harta
- Macam-macam harta dalam agama serta penggunaannya
- Jizyah
- Perjanjian dan perdamaian
- Kewajiban umat Islam terhadap Nabinya
- Sebab-sebab orang Islam melakukan perang total
- Beberapa dasar politik kenegaraan dan peperangan dalam Islam.
- Kisah-kisah
- Nabi Muhammad s.a.w. dengan Abu Bakar r.a. di suatu gua di bukit Tsur ketika hijrah
- Perang Hunain (perang Authas atau perang Hawazin)
- Perang Tabuk.
- Lain-lain
- Sifat-sifat orang yang beriman dan tingkatan-tingkatan mereka.
- Pernyataan pembatalan perjanjian damai pleh Nabi Muhammad s.a.w. dengan kaum musyrikin, kerana mereka tidak memenuhi syarat-syarat perjanjian damai pada perjanjian Hudaibiyyah.
Semoga ada kebaikan untuk kita walau setitik dari titik-titik yang banyak lalu membina “ayat-ayat CINTA” kepada-Nya melalui artikel ini. Adapun ku sembahkan SYUKUR padamu Ya Allah.. atas setiap kesempatan dan kekuatan.. untuk aku lebih kenal akan harga diri. Tiada yang lebih beerti dari ‘mampu memahami’ wajah-wajah yang ENGKAU pertontonkan ini.
Selawat dan SALAM BUAT BAGINDA RASULULLAH S.A.W dan para keluarga serta sahabat baginda.
Salam Ramadhan 19 & Salam 090909
