Anger is forbidden…

You have as many brothers (and sisters) as there are believers.  Brothers should love and protect each other.  Therefore it is forbidden to offend or hurt any person.  You must be good to everyone – even to unbelievers – but you must do your very best for your brothers (and sisters).  Also, since you are a believer and a human being, not a wild animal, do your best with everyone in this world.

This is real belief – in all religions.  Every believer, especially in Islam, must do his or her best for the whole world.  Every believer must love his Lord;   but our love for our Lord does not become visible except through our love toward our fellow human beings – because the love of Allah is hidden within the hearts of men.  This is the proof of our truly loving our Lord; to love everyone in the world without distinction. 

This is the attribute of our Lord in relation to all the creatures of the earth – He loves every one of His servants and bestows His blessings on all of them.  No one remains without His mercy and blessings;  and He is pleased when His servants acquire and wear His attributes.

“In Islam” said Grandsheikh, “To carry enmity for anyone in your heart is forbidden.  Enmity follows on the heels of anger.  If you are angry at someone enmity arises.  If a man carries anger in his heart for another for one hour Satan will assault his heart and dominate him for three days.  If he has anger for three days then Satan will control him for forty days.  If this person should die during these forty days, he won’t meet a good end; he’ll die in the grasp of Satan and he will be like a slave in his hands.”  We must pay heed to this point with utmost care.

Nowadays the devils come rushing, especially on the believers to make them each other’s enemies.  You can find Satan and his soldiers chasing the families of believers; brothers, parents and neighbours.  You must be very careful.

 It may be a bad thought between husband and wife to make them enemies, or to make children enemies of their parents – this is in evidence everywhere. 

Do not leave Satan any chance to sow enmity among your brothers.  Allah wants all His servants to love one another.  This is true faith and true Islam.  Islam opposes all devils and their enmity. It came to promote peace in general.  Therefore Islam places highest importance on man’s living together in friendship and harmony.
