I’m Saba Malik, and this is a Mini Mental. “The powerful man is not the one who can wrestle but the powerful man is the one who can control himself at the time of anger.” Using that definition, which is a hadith by the Prophet sallAllahu alayhi wa alayhi wasalaam, how many of us can honestly say that, “Yes, I am powerful.” I don’t know about you but I can’t say that all the time. There are so many instances anger gets, the better of me. There’s so many instances where I have such a tough time with anger. Now I’ve learned to see anger as a teachable moment, not as a friend, and not even as an enemy. It’s just another emotion, like depression or sadness or happiness or joy. It’s just there as part of the my human experience. So the du’a that I use for anger is, “Audhu billahi minashaitanir rajeem,” which means, “I seek refuge with Allah from the accursed devil.” I realized that even though I know the meaning of “audhu billahi minashaitanir rajeem,” I didn’t connect with it. And I didn’t really internalize it when I would say it. And I had a teacher who told me what audhu billahreally means. Imagine it’s raining, and you don’t have an umbrella, and it just starts pouring all of a sudden. And then from the corner of your eye, you see a bus shelter. So you just run towards it. And then you go inside it and you take shelter. That is what audhu billah is. When you say that you are running to Allah for help. Now saying that when you’re angry, is so powerful. Why? Because I know that even though I’m in charge, sometimes when I’m angry, I feel like I’m not in charge. I feel like all of a sudden this wave of emotion, this rain the storm pours in, and I have no clue what’s going on everything that was around me. I can’t see it anymore. There’s a huge storm, it’s pouring everywhere. And when I say audhu billah, I know Allah has got me. I’m gonna seek shelter with Him, and then everything’s gonna be fine. Now, what does that mean? “Everything’s gonna be fine.” That’s where my work that’s where your work comes in. That means when you’re saying out the Billahi min, Ash shaytani r rajim. It is not a passive act, it is active. That means that discovering what is anger? How does anger show or manifest itself in my body? What happens when I feel angry? How do my fists feel? Do I clench my teeth? Do I grind my teeth? Do I clench? Do I clench my fist? Do I grind my teeth? How’s my heart read? What do I feel in my stomach? How do
