Do you or perhaps someone you know suffer from their anger? Do you suffer from road rage? Maybe the behaviour of others infuriates you and leaves you seething? We know that such feelings are not good for us and leads to stress. So how to control that temper?

1. Say "I seek protection from the accursed devil (shaytaan)".
2. Drink a glass of water / perform ablution (perform ritual wash before prayers).
