A summary of the concepts held by the Ahl al-Sunnah.

2
00:00:08,929 --> 00:00:12,269
Anger.

3
00:00:12,269 --> 00:00:15,269
Anger is a live coal ignited in the heart of the son of Adam.

4
00:00:15,269 --> 00:00:18,269
It drives him toward recklessness and committing evil.

5
00:00:18,269 --> 00:00:22,269
For this reason, the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said:

6
00:00:22,269 --> 00:00:25,269
"The strong person is not the one who can wrestle others down;

7
00:00:25,269 --> 00:00:29,269
rather, the strong person is the one who controls himself when angry."

8
00:00:29,269 --> 00:00:31,269
Agreed upon.

9
00:00:31,269 --> 00:00:34,369
And he said to the man who asked him for advice:

10
00:00:34,369 --> 00:00:36,369
"Do not become angry."

11
00:00:36,369 --> 00:00:38,369
He repeated this several times.

12
00:00:38,369 --> 00:00:40,369
He said, "Do not become angry."

13
00:00:40,369 --> 00:00:43,560
However, this prohibited anger

14
00:00:43,560 --> 00:00:48,560
is that which is for one's own sake, seeking vengeance when one is harmed.

15
00:00:48,560 --> 00:00:52,560
As for anger out of zeal for the sacred boundaries of Allah when they are violated,

16
00:00:52,560 --> 00:00:55,560
that is not vengeance for one's own sake.

17
00:00:55,560 --> 00:01:00,560
Rather, it is what drives a person to defend and protect the sacred boundaries of Allah.

18
00:01:00,560 --> 00:01:06,560
As ‘A’ishah, may Allah be pleased with her, said regarding the Prophet, peace be upon him:

19
00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:09,560
"The Messenger of Allah never took revenge for his own sake,

20
00:01:09,560 --> 00:01:12,560
unless a sacred boundary of Allah was violated,

21
00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:15,560
in which case he would take revenge for the sake of Allah."

22
00:01:15,560 --> 00:01:17,560
Agreed upon.
