eath to accelerate, the face to flare up, the veins to puff, the hands to shrivel, the nerves to
confuse, the hear to pulse, the blood to boil, the mouth to froth, and the eyes to throw evil. When
all these are noticed on the angry, it will be surely adjudged that the insane are sounder and
nearer to bettering than the angry are. If the angry look in the mirror to see that disgusting mien,
they will surely feel shameful and be embarrassed.”
At any rate, rage is one of the vilest the most injurious manners since it causes variable
misfortunes and calamities and inflicts the greatest difficulties and dilemmas.
Warning against rage:
Islam has warned against rage, which is a nefarious quality. It has counted it as a danger and risk.
Many narratives have been reported in this regard. The Prophet (s) said, “Rage corrupts
faithfulness like the vinegar when rots honey.” He also regarded self‐striving and self‐possession
in the states of rage as signs of heroism. He said, “The hero is not that who overcomes in fighting.
The real hero is that who possesses himself in rage.” Imam Ali (a) said, “Fury is a sort of madness.”
Imam as‐Sadiq (a) said, “My father used to say: Which matter is more intense than rage? In the
states of rage, a man may kill the innocent, and slander the honorable matrons.” He also said, “He
whoever lacks control on his rage, will not control his mind.” “Rage eliminates the minds of the
wise.”[1]
Islam has also added the pardon in the states of rage to the believers’ qualifications. God says:
And when they rage, they surely forgive.
Islam has warned Muslims against being submitted to rage that leads to disintegration and failing
in this world and the Hereafter. Precautionary methods
Ethicists refer to several means that protect against the evil of rage:
‐ The recall of vileness and remembering the bad results of rage that brings about problems and
desolation.
‐ Considering the advantages of composure, such as the good reputation.
It is also recommended to remember that the angry disputants may be changed into close friends
by means of self‐possession and pardon. God says:
Repel evil with what is best, when lo! Be between whom and you was enmity would be as if he
were a warm friend.
