Asaam al-A-Laiikum.

My brothers and sisters in Ramadan one of the things we are supposed to be achieving is to be able to develop great character and conduct. And one of the things of that is to

control your temper, to watch your mouth, to be careful what you say, to be careful how you vent your frustrations.

Now the Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him was approached by a young lad once

who asked him give me some advice.

He said don't get angry. He said give me more advice. He said don't get angry.

He said give me more advice. He said do not get angry and he kept repeating it. Now obviously on different occasions he gave different

advice but some of us need help because we have a temper. We regret the

temper. We would definitely regret what we say or do when we are angry. So calm down.

Without making a very big effort on your temper, you are not going to be able to control it.

Seek the help of Allah, calm down, think about why you need to be kind and good to other people.

The tables can turn. Tomorrow, others from among those whom you love

will face something similar by other people. So you need to control your temper. A few days ago I was in Massey the Nubawi.

And a young lad passed me and he uttered some really bad things to me.

And I smiled at him and I kept on going.

Allah gave me the opportunity to see the same guy two days down and I happened to engage with him

and tell him my brother why did you have to say that to me I'm only telling it to you because

you don't go around saying such things to people you may disagree you may have for example

not understood something I might have said or I might have done.
