Summary
Anger is a natural human emotion, and restraining and controlling it is a praiseworthy trait that Islam encourages. The fatwa cites several prophetic guidelines for moments of anger: sit or lie down, perform ablution, avoid making major decisions, and stay silent. Anger is permitted in certain cases, such as when Islam is insulted or oppression occurs, but it must be controlled and channelled properly within the limits of Islamic law.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Menahan amarah dan mengawalnya merupakan satu sikap yang amat terpuji dan dituntut.
