Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books The Ahlul-Bayt; Ethical Role-Models Anger Anger is a mental condition that provokes the excitement of man in words and deeds.

Because of the dangers and sins --such like mocking, gibe, obscenity, beating, killing, and the like evildoings that are resulted from anger, it has been considered as the door to every evil: Imam as-Sadiq narrated on the authority of his father that a Bedouin came to the Prophet (S) and said: “I live in the desert; hence, I want you to instruct me the comprehensive of speech.” The Prophet said: “I instruct you not to be angry.” As the Bedouin repeated the same request three times, the Prophet (S) repeated the answer three times.

The Bedouin commented: “I will not ask you for anything anymore. Certainly, the Messenger of God has instructed me the best[^1].” Amirul-Mu'minin (a) said: “Keep off anger because it is one large army from the Shaitan’s armies.” “Anger is a stroke of madness, for the angry, later on, feels sorry.

If he does not, his madness then is inclusive[^2].” Imam al-Baqir (a) said: “A man often becomes so angry that he is never pleased until this causes him to be in Hell[^3].” Imam as-Sadiq (a) said: “Anger is the key to every evil[^4].” Incentives of Anger • The incentive of anger could be a physical disorder, such as illness or neuropathy that cause hypersensitiveness.

●It could be a psychological defect that is arisen from mental stress, excessive selfishness, or feeling of insult or inferiority. • It could be ethical, such as habituation of quarrelsomeness and quick anxiety. Damages of Anger Anger causes gross damages that harm individuals and communities, physically and mentally, materially and morally. A single state of anger often injured the emotions, charged the spirits with hatred, and split the handles of mutual amicability.

Moreover, it often threw people in jails, exposed them to perditions, aroused wars, and shed blood of thousands of innocent people. What is more is the mental crises and tragedies most of which end with sudden death. After all, anger changes man into a furious volcano whose flames are rage and evils. Thus, you see the tongue of the angry speak vulgar language and words of disgracing, and see his hands set for beating or even killing. This is in case the angry controls his rival completely.
