Best ways to be silent are what?

Your staying silent because you don't want your tongue to utter words that can cause pain or discomfort to someone else.

I try to use the following for both calming my anger and taming my temper in order to hold my tongue:
أَعُوذُ بِاللَّهِ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ الرَّجِيمِ

“Aaoozu Billahe Minashshaitan Nirrajeem”

English Translation:
“I seek refuge in Allah from the accursed Satan”. (Mishkat and Hisnul Hasin)

Dominating your anger is a sign of a good strength of one’s personality. If you dare to control your anger you are really a winner.

“A man said to the Prophet SallALLAHU Alayhe Wasallam, ‘Give me advice.’ The Prophet, peace be upon him, said, ‘Do not get angry.’ The man asked repeatedly and the Prophet answered each time, ‘Do not get angry.’”


The Prophet SallALLAHU Alayhe Wasallam always says that the powerful man is not the one who can wrestle but he is one who can control himself at the time of anger.

Allah swt is with the patient.
