CONTROL YOUR ANGER: 26

HATE THE ACT, NOT THE PERSON


One important point to remember is that when one becomes angry with someone for Allah’s sake, the anger is not directed towards that person, it is towards his beliefs and actions. The hatred should be towards the kufr (disbelief), not the disbeliever, it should be with the sin, not the sinner. If a person is involved in sins or kufr, he is like a person who has been afflicted by an illness, the illness of sin or kufr. We never resent a sick person, we resent his illness. If people started hating sick people who will look after them? That is why if the sinner gives up his sins, there should be no remaining resentment, no anger, because the anger wasn’t inter-personal.
