How Can I Control My Anger with a Dua?
Anger is a powerful emotion and in Islam, we are taught to manage it with patience, humility, and remembrance of Allah. The Prophet ﷺ advised that when anger rises, we should seek refuge in Allah, change our posture, and remember Him through dhikr and dua.
This short but powerful dua was taught by the Prophet ﷺ as a way to protect ourselves from the whispers of Shaytaan when feeling overwhelmed:
Dua for Controlling Anger
أَعُوْذُ بِاللَّهِ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ الرَّجِيْمِ
‘I take refuge with Allah from the accursed devil.’
Don’t forget this ayah if you’re feeling angry
يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا اسْتَعِينُوا بِالصَّبْرِ وَالصَّلَاةِ ۚ إِنَّ اللَّهَ مَعَ الصَّابِرِينَ
O you who believe! Seek help in patience and As-Salat (the prayer). Truly! Allah is with As-Sabirin (the patient ones).
