↓ 4 – Be Kind and Promote Justice: 

There are two options whenever someone hurts you. Either take revenge, do whatever the did and gossip or stay positive and show civility and kindness.

According to Qur’an Muslims are told to choose kindness and be kind to everyone not a specific group of people. The Qu’ran says;

“Worship Allah and associate nothing with Him, and to parents DO GOOD, and to relatives, orphans, the needy, the near neighbor, the neighbor farther away, the companion at your side, the traveler, AND THOSE WHOM YOUR RIGHT HANDS POSSESS. Indeed, Allah does not like those who are self-deluding and boastful.” [4:36]

↓ 3 – Avoid Anger and Exasperation:

Ayah 134 of Surah Ali’Imran reads: “Those who spend [in Allah’s Cause—deeds of charity, alms, etc.] in prosperity and in adversity, who repress anger, and who pardon men; verily, Allah loves the good-doers.” [3:134]

This verse clarifies that you can use your anger for constructiveness as well as destructiveness. We can convert our anger into something productive by using it to help someone or comfort others in need.

Allah has given us numerous examples in the Qur’an regarding the Prophets who chose kindness over anger.

Prophet Ibrahim’s (PBUH) father said to him: “I will surely stone you, so avoid me a prolonged time.” [Surat Maryam: 46) He (PBUH) responded: “Peace be upon you.” [Surat Maryam: 47].

This clarifies that responding to anger with kindness should be one’s priority.
