Mad with rage

People say that they became mad with rage. Thus, they do not know what they did in anger. However, all these are false. It is an oppressive mind and the arrogance of a person that makes him claim that he became mad with rage. If, at that moment, a big dog or a strong person came in front of him, all his anger would disappear. But how did his madness dissipate? It seems that his anger was not mad. It was very intelligent and cunning. He knows with whom he must humble himself. His "fouka" / madness rises only in front of the weak or in front of his wife who has no one to support her. That is why we say that those who are ‘mad with rage’ are liars and are those who have an oppressive mind.

The outcome of oppressive people is very bad. Allah Ta’ala does not like those who oppress. Those, who have this in their person, must realise that they will not remain same forever. Sooner or later, they will face someone who is worse than them. People will pity them without knowing that they were oppressive in their era. Now they are reaping what they sowed. That is why we should know that there is no success in oppressing others.
