DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDER. Yawmul ahad, 16th day of Swafar 1447AH, Sunday, 10th August 2025.

WHAT MAKES YOU ANGRY? Bismillah.

If you find yourself angry, heated, short-tempered, easily lashing out at people and easily inclined to make a big scene out of a small issue, then it’s time to think about what’s making you an angry and unforgiving person.

There are interesting pointers that ALLAH Almighty gave us in Suurat AsShuraa when HE, Azzawajal says:

“And those who avoid the major sins and immoralities, and when they are angry, they forgive” (Qur’an 42: 37).

Recite and ponder on this verse again and again carefully.

Who are the people who not only control their anger but also elevate above it and have peace and serenity to forgive those who angered them? It is those who avoid major sins and immoralities.

But how is this related to you if you are avoiding major sins?

Well, watch what you are consuming and exposing yourself to on a daily basis. Do you by any chance happen to watch certain types of movies, songs, websites or social media pages that contain immoral content? Are you exposing yourself to scenes, images, language or even jokes that are impure and indecent?

The truth is, these materials are all around us. So we are either actively engaged in avoiding them, or we are mindlessly consuming them.

If this is the case and you are consuming them, chances are, this type of content without you even knowing is taking away the peace and light of your heart.

Instead of being in a state of peace, light, calmness, poise and maturity that come with the remembrance of ALLAH Azzawajal and engaging in good and pure deeds, watching immoral content would make you irritated, easily angered and incapable of controlling your emotions. You can monitor your own behaviour to notice that for yourself.

But why exactly is this taking away your light and troubling your heart? Don't miss tomorrow's reminder. May ALLAH Azzawajal keep guiding and protecting us from any satanic influences. Aameen.
