Anger Management - 'An Islamic Approach'


Anger Management

An Islamic Psycho - Spiritual Approach
Anger is a powerful emotion. It can be used either in productive or counter-productive ways. It can lengthen or shorten our lives. Anger is a natural human emotion that everyone experiences at one time or another.

Examples of common factors that can make people angry are:

• Losing someone you love (grief)
• Sexual frustration
• Being tired, hungry or in pain
• Physical withdrawal from certain medicines or drugs
• Conditions, like pre-menstrual syndrome (PMS)

Anger management is a form of counselling to help you cope with any angry feelings you may have that affect your health, work, social behaviour or personal relationships. This course on 'Anger Management' shall focus on psycho – spiritual approaches to anger with the Islamic theoretical aspect using Imam al-Ghazali's ‘Diagnosis of Anger’ and others, and practical steps in dealing with anger.

The Prophet [s] said, "The strong is not the one who overcomes the people by his strength, but the strong is the one who controls himself while in anger." [Al-Bukhari]
