Shaykh Mehmet Adil Al-Haqqani, Sohbet of the 8th of July, 2016.<\/strong><\/p>\n

As-sal\u0101mu alaykum wa ra\u1e25matu Ll\u0101hi wa barak\u0101tuh.<\/p>\n

A\u2018\u016bdhu biLl\u0101hi mina sh-shay\u1e6d\u0101ni rraj\u012bm. Bismi Ll\u0101hi r-Ra\u1e25m\u0101ni r-Ra\u1e25\u012bm. A\u1e63-\u1e63al\u0101tu wa s-sal\u0101mu \u2018al\u00e1 Ras\u016blina Mu\u1e25ammadin Sayyidi l-awwal\u012bna wa l-\u0101khir\u012bn. Madad y\u0101 Ras\u016bl All\u0101h, madad y\u0101 S\u0101d\u0101ti A\u1e63\u1e25\u0101bi Ras\u016bli Ll\u0101h, madad y\u0101 Mash\u0101yikhin\u0101, dast\u016br y\u0101 Shaykh \u2018Abdu Ll\u0101h ad-D\u0101ghist\u0101ni, Shaykh Mu\u1e25ammad N\u0101\u1e93im al-\u1e24aqq\u0101ni madad. \u1e6car\u012bqatun\u0101 \u1e63-\u1e63u\u1e25bah wa l-khayru fi l-jam\u2018iyyah. <\/p>\n

There are some things they look small but are difficult to to do. They asked the Prophet (sas) to give an advice. “L\u0101 tagh\u1e0dab” he said “Don’t be angry”. Just one word. Then he (sas) said again “l\u0101 tagh\u1e0dab”. “Give us another advice. This is easy.” Our Prophet (saw) again – “l\u0101 tagh\u1e0dab” said “don’t be angry”. They asked him many times, each time he said the same. It is difficult not to get angry. That’s why, what the Prophet (saw) tells isn’t easy. It isn’t easy not to be angry. That advice is for the whole nation. <\/p>\n

Our Prophet (sas) says: “brave or bully who is the hero?” He (sas) says: “manu sh-shuj\u0101?\u2018” (Who is the hero?) Shuj\u0101\u2018 means a hero. “The hero is someone, who controls his anger.” It is easy to be a hero against other people. but to control the anger of your ego it is a difficult thing. That’s why, our Prophet’s (sas) advice to people, to the nation is “don’t be angry”. <\/p>\n

Getting angry is harmful most of the time. There are moments to be angry but they are very rare. Most people don’t do that. They get angry when it isn’t necessary. There are moments when it is necessary to get angry – to keep All\u0101h’s order, to help someone oppressed. Nobody gets angry then – they say “who cares?” or “let’s not get ourselves in trouble” and they don’t get angry. But other times, they fight. <\/p>\n

Hz. Ab\u016b Bakr was very soft and gentle. He was with the Prophet (sas) all the time, never separated. He was a\u1e63-\u1e62iddiq. People, who knew him, said he was gentle. Hz. \u2018Umar on the contrary was a very angry companion. The caliphs of our Prophet (saw). After our Prophet (sas) 90% of the Arabs apostatized, left the religion. Hz. Ab\u016b Bakr drew his sword. He said “until they come back to the religion, I won’t sheathe my sword.” He was angry for All\u0101h. Soft, quiet, gentle person but Hz. Ab\u016b Bakr showed them that he was the caliph of the Prophet (saw). Hz. \u2018Umar told Hz. Ab\u016b Bakr that “there are a lot of men, let’s be political, let’s talk to them, etc.” Hz. Ab\u016b Bakr gave him a beautiful answer: “You were a lion in the days of ignorance, did you turn into a rabbit in the days of Isl\u0101m?” Hz. \u2018Umar was the angry one, against everything. Hz. Ab\u016b Bakr was the opposite but for Isl\u0101m and All\u0101h, he showed his anger. This is a lesson for everyone. <\/p>\n

It is a great attribute to control anger. It isn’t easy. Like we said, it isn’t an easy matter. Controlling the ego, not getting angry, is difficult. Especially what comes against your ego – this is the definition of \u1e6dar\u012bqah. What comes on my ego, instead of being angry, I should be
\nhappy.<\/p>\n

I should say: “that’s nothing, my ego deserves more”. Many mash\u0101yikh suffered. They were insulted, kicked out – most of the mash\u0101yikh, \u1e63\u0101li\u1e25un (righteous), prophets. But of course, because the prophets are innocent, it doesn’t affect them. They were patient with their egos, they overcame their ego’s anger. Like we said, this is the way they became the lions of All\u0101h, heros of All\u0101h. <\/p>\n

This gentleness, innam\u0101 l-\u2018ilmu bit-ta\u2018allumi wa innam\u0101 l-\u1e25ilmu bit-ta\u1e25allum. Knowledge comes by learning. Not getting angry, being soft, bit-ta\u1e25allum – happens slowly, not suddenly. Like we said it is a very difficult issue. Anger is of course one of the biggest weapons of the devil. He has bigger weapons than that but anger is one of them. He lifts people up with anger, and throws them down with harm. They can’t control their anger and they regret it later on. The ego can destroy the world in that moment, but will regret it later on. To prevent it, our Prophet’s (sas) advice, all the mash\u0101yikh’s advice and guidance, is to control the anger of the ego. <\/p>\n

May All\u0101h help us all, because we all have it, everyone has it. It should be only for All\u0101h, for All\u0101h’s way. All\u0101h created two sides – one side goes to goodness, one side goes to badness. In sh\u0101\u2019a Ll\u0101h, may our anger be for All\u0101h’s sake, in sh\u0101\u2019a Ll\u0101h. <\/p>\n

Many things you feel it is small things. You not care about the one most important thing. They were asking Prophet (sas), one \u1e63a\u1e25\u0101b\u012by (companion). “Beloved Prophet (sas), tell me advice good for me” Prophet (sas) said “l\u0101 tagh\u1e0dab – Don’t be angry.” He said “Ok, next. What is, again give me one more advice, good thing to do.” Prophet (sas) he said “l\u0101 tagh\u1e0dab – Don’t be angry.” He said maybe Prophet, astaghfiru Ll\u0101h, can give another na\u1e63\u012b\u1e25ah (advice). He asked him again. How many times he asked, every time same answer. Because to not be angry, it is not easy. Anger, it is difficult, difficult to control it. To be under your control, it is very difficult thing. For this, Prophet (sas) was telling this \u1e63a\u1e25\u0101b\u012by “Be… Don’t be angry.” <\/p>\n

Other \u1e25ad\u012bth also saying “Who is hero? Who fighting with people, who making that and that or doing this strong thing?” Said “The hero – who is controlling his anger”. Really it is not easy thing to do. Anger it is terrible thing. When man become angry, become like crazy. Nothing can stop him. Many people in jail from one second of anger they do something they regret for whole life. They do one time, after five minutes they regret. “I wish I didn’t do this. Why I did this?” they say. <\/p>\n

And it is – everything All\u0101h created for benefit of people and for not benefit. Anger also same. Don’t be angry. Few things only you can be angry. Because people they are angry for everything but for few things you must be angry. You must be – if you can change, you can do. What is this? The order of All\u0101h or to helping oppressed one if you can. But people, they are leaving this. They are not doing angry for this. Only doing angry for everything else. <\/p>\n

Example for this: when Sayyudin\u0101 Ab\u016b Bakr, khal\u012bfah of Prophet, first khal\u012bfah (ra) he was very peaceful, very calm, very quiet person. Sayyudin\u0101 Ab\u016b Bakr he was friend all life with Prophet (sas). And Prophet (sas) saying for him “He’s my friend here and hereafter”. <\/p>\n

And if anything bad happens, he was making, can fix between people and not be angry. And there was other khal\u012bfah Sayyudin\u0101 \u02bfUmar, second one. When Prophet (sas) changed his world (passed away), Arab 90%, they go out of Isl\u0101m. Why? To not pay money, zak\u0101h. The most important this and other things also. But they were quickly changing. Sayyidun\u0101 Ab\u016b Bakr, he take his sword from not putting inside. “Just I will fight these people” he said, “until last one to come to Isl\u0101m.” And people were surprised. “How this man? He’s very quiet, very calm, very soft man become like this, wanted to fight whole these Arabs?” He said “This is order of All\u0101h, order of Prophet. I cannot… one millimeter cannot be… I cannot tolerate even one millimeter.” And he was fighting. <\/p>\n

But Sayyidun\u0101 \u02bfUmar, he was really angry for everything. In many times when in front of Prophet (sas) “O Prophet, let me take this man’s head from his body.” Many times he said this. But that time coming to Sayyidun\u0101 Ab\u016b Bakr and tell him “Don’t be very hurry to do this. We can speak. We can negotiate with these people to not…” There was one word, it is real good Sayyidun\u0101 Ab\u016b Bakr said to Sayyidun\u0101 \u02bfUmar – “You are lion in j\u0101hil\u012byah time before Isl\u0101m and you are now like rabbit in Isl\u0101m. How you can say this for me?” he said. Look for Isl\u0101m, for All\u0101h how they give us example. You must be angry for very few things. But people, they are angry for everything but forgetting real thing what to be angry. And al\u1e25amdu liLl\u0101h he finish all these people for his .. All\u0101h help him with his anger to make all these people Muslim. It was benefit anger – not to destroy people, no, to give them life. Not to take their life by anger. <\/p>\n

So it is small word to say but to do it is very difficult. Many times were coming people for \u1e25ajj asking Mawl\u0101n\u0101 “Give me advice.” He said to them same advice. “Don’t be angry.” Because in Hajj also people getting 10 times angry, 100 times angry. So to be… We must train ourself to be not angry. Because Prophet (sas) said: innam\u0101 l-\u2018ilmu bit-ta\u2018allumi wa innam\u0101 l-\u1e25ilmu bit-ta\u1e25allum. \u2018Ilm knowledge by learning it is. And to be not angry also slowly slowly you can – you cannot do it [all at] once. So slowly slowly we, in sh\u0101\u2019a Ll\u0101h, All\u0101h help us to take this anger from ourself, bad anger. And it is, in sh\u0101\u2019a Ll\u0101h, from mash\u0101yikh also. They were giving us very good example. They weren’t angry for themselves at all. If something, some people doing wrong for them or speaking wrong by action or by word, they were saying “It is for our ego, it is not too much. It is very few. We, our ego need more than this.” So they were not angry for their ego, even they are happy to hear something like this for their ego. <\/p>\n

Teaching from \u1e6dar\u012bqah it’s good teaching, in sh\u0101\u2019a Ll\u0101h to be not angry.<\/p>\n

Wa min All\u0101hi ttawf\u012bq al-F\u0101ti\u1e25ah. <\/p>\n
