You might watch this Islamic video on anger, it tries to explain the differences between the things people find important in this life and the important things for an after life. I found the video very helpful, even though I am Christian

Thats actually an indirect reminder to all those people who hurt people or offend them by doing or saying some thing idiot.When they will read it,they will definately correct them selves,Inshallah
Re: Honestly, what are the things that make you really angry?
1. prejudice
2. Time wasting
3. Not motivating myself
But I don't really get angry anyone, maybe a tad upset by then it passes, anger for me is energy which is misspent, and maybe that energy should be put into rectifying or reducing what made you angry in the first place. : )

Greetings and peace be with you Endymion; thanks for your kind reply.
I posted those links because they have been a great help to me in the last few days. Last Monday I was sacked from my work, I believe the reason was unfair and unjust. At the tender age of 61, my future job prospects might not be great, and I do need the money, hence I am just a teency weency bit miffed.
I did some voluntary work over and above what was expected from me, in connection with my last employment. My first concern after being sacked was to try and find ways to keep this voluntary work going, and I have found ways to carry on voluntarily.
My daughter is a midwife and she was on the Channel 4 programme “One born every minute” it was a great joy to celebrate with her on the evening of being sacked. I am just so proud of her and her enthusiam, she just seems to look for the good in all the troubled youngsters, who come to her when they are pregnant.
The following day was an opportunity to go to chuirch, and give thanks to God for all the good things I have. A lady at church asked if I would like to go on the rota to do some voluntary ironing, and I find ironing strangly soothing. Later in the day there was a phone call to say, the local churches were working together to try and open a food bank, they are looking for volunteers.
The next day was a wonderful opportunity for me, i called into a group meeting of the Asain Welfare society. An opportunity presented itself to talk about Christians, Muslims, Hindu etc working together voluntarily.
A couple of great days spent with the grandchildren during half term this week, and now I can spend a couple of days with my wife instead of working weekends.
Monday I shall have to start doing all the mundane bits of life like getting a job, asking about benefits, appealing against being sacked.
The reasons for me to be angry still exist, but I have had a briilient time which has given me the opportunity to deal with my anger in positive ways.
Every blessing
Eric
You will never look into the eyes of anyone who does not matter to God.

Re: Honestly, what are the things that make you really angry?
I get angry over the tiniest things sometimes subhanAllah, the one thing that really really gets me angry..when someone wakes me up from my sleep...which is either by switching the light on, opening my window, throwing water on me, pulling the duvet or..or bringing little children in the room..making them believe it's hide and seek game and come and say 'i found you'..and at that point knowing you can't hit them as much as you would love to...

Nope we are not. There are stories from the time of the Prophet Sallahu alaayhi wa salam where people would mock him, swear, throw rubbish at him subhaan'Allaah and the prophet had control in his anger and still displayed a smile on his blessed face.
Its a lesson we must learn from , as its only a test for us, to control our anger as anger is haraam.
Ofcourse you are allowed to defend yourself at the time of someone attacking you but out of deffendance not anger or revenge.
peace

Re: Honestly, what are the things that make you really angry?
When I see people fighting each other. I just try to stop them and ask them why are you shouting and fighting. Everything can be setteled without fighting. People who think that honest and good people are foolish and stupid.
Prophet Muhammad (SAW) said: “The similitude of believers in regard to mutual love, affection, fellow-feeling is that of one body; when any limb of it aches, the whole body aches, because of sleeplessness and fever.” [Muslim]

Yeah I think that I am stupid that I could not remember what mistake I have done before and I am repeating it again.

Really sorry to hear about that
Nosey question, but is this to do with ageism by any chance?
On a lighter note - Limmys on rent a ranter mode. . . . . . . . .
