Anger, revenge, jealousy! Those forces of destruction, relentlessly waging war against peace, corroding the soul, erasing virtue and leaving love in ashes.
Beware, brother, of the anger which erupts from jealousy. For if there is a disease which has no cure, it is the anger which is rooted in jealousy.
Satan, when God made Adam, felt incredibly jealous, yet managed to control his feelings, until God ordered the Angels, and alongside them the greatly knowledgeable and revered Satan, to prostrate to the First Man, Satan refused. He wanted to be not among those who prostrated. So, God expelled him from Paradise, and cursed be he till the Last Day. He is a clear enemy to the Race of Man, and although the gates of forgiveness are open to everyone, Satan has never and will have never begged pardon from the Most Forgiving Lord of the Worlds: because once jealousy explodes as rage, no path back there is.
That is one side of anger which absolutely in no good. Nonetheless, there is a sort of anger which brews in the heart, in cases, for years or even decades. A fellow you might encounter, calm and jolly, humorous, yet a day comes when that same bloke turns crazy, his anger bursts uncontrolled and dumbfounded all around him are left; a good guy, they say, went mad. But hold on, you knew not what was brewing in his heart at the least for weeks, or most terribly for decades! That is another destructive anger.
The most prominent point on anger lies in the undeniable fact that it has to be removed. A constructive disposal, wherein one puts out this fire with the extinguisher of forgiveness, and peace. Or there exists the normal expression of anger which is at times justified.
And we come pass the notion of revenge, in the face of which stands forgiveness. And though forgiveness is preferable and more honorable, anyone seeking rightful revenge may get it in the exact amount. Still, the best revenge is when you give prayers for insults, gifts for attacks, good for bad…
And this this the spirit of the Holy Month of Ramadan…
