2
00:00:06,110 --> 00:00:08,109
The pivot of character

3
00:00:08,109 --> 00:00:18,219
The pivot, essence, and public face of a person’s character remains the abandonment of anger

4
00:00:18,219 --> 00:00:25,440
And the forsaking of emotional outbursts that erode one’s morals and lead to corrupt conduct

5
00:00:25,440 --> 00:00:32,439
It is recorded in the Sahih that a man said to the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, "Advise me."

6
00:00:32,439 --> 00:00:39,439
He replied, "Do not get angry," and when the man repeated the request, he said again, "Do not get angry."

7
00:00:39,439 --> 00:00:47,079
If you become angry, your appearance becomes unsightly, your character becomes repulsive, and your stances become harsh

8
00:00:47,079 --> 00:00:56,079
You reach a state that people cannot endure or tolerate, and you become known as someone who is contentious and stubborn

9
00:00:56,079 --> 00:01:03,179
Imam Ibn al-Mubarak, may Allah have mercy on him, was once asked to summarize good character in a single word

10
00:01:03,179 --> 00:01:06,180
He replied, "Abandoning anger."

11
00:01:06,180 --> 00:01:15,659
Scholars have said that the Prophet, peace be upon him, encompassed the good of this world and the Hereafter in his words, "Do not get angry."

12
00:01:15,659 --> 00:01:21,659
This is because anger leads to severing ties and the deprivation of gentleness, forbearance, and the absence of affection

13
00:01:21,659 --> 00:01:31,659
It may even lead to harming the one who is the object of anger, which diminishes one’s religion, dissolves one’s composure and tranquility, and poisons the soul

14
00:01:31,659 --> 00:01:42,659
For this reason, in another hadith, the virtuous and complete man is defined by the words: "The strong man is not the one who wrestles," meaning the one who throws others down

15
00:01:42,659 --> 00:01:47,659
Rather, the strong man is the one who controls himself when he is angry

16
00:01:47,659 --> 00:01:49,659
Peace
