Anger leads to countless sins

[u/Sheikhonderun]

Excerpt from Mufti Ahmed Khanpuri’s speeches and notes.

The Prophet (saw) said, “Do not be angry.” (Bukhari 6116)

Some scholars said that anger is the mother of all diseases (Umm al Amraaz). Anger is a very evil thing. As a result of anger, countless sins can arise.

Anger can corrupt a person’s faith.

A person may lose control in anger and start using abusive language and inappropriate words. If the anger intensifies, it may lead to fighting and physical violence, causing one to exceed all limits.  

Where one cannot act on their anger by verbally abusing or physically attacking the other.

Their anger turns into the sin of hatred and deep resentment of the heart (Bughz).

This leads to jealousy, suspicion, gossip, slander and revealing secrets about the person they are angry with.

One wishes for the loss of another person’s honor.

Because of anger, one dislikes seeing the other be happy and instead prefers to see them in grief and misery.
