Five Phrases...We Should Practice
The best manner to avoid having negative attitudes and emotions control our bodies is simply to practice the wisdoms that we have been given throughout the Qur'an and Hadith. We should say,
1 "Alhamdullilah" It produces calm and health to practice saying, "Alhamdulillah" for what we have
2 "Insha'Allah" for what we intend
3 "Subhana' Allah" when we see something exciting or amazing
4 Astaghfir'Allah" when we lose our tempers or become weak.
and most importantly
5 "Allahu Akbar" when we are faced with the challenges of life.
These five phrases, said regularly, are like taking a multi-vitamin for holistic health.
There is much wisdom in the Prophet's (SAW) statement (narrated by
Abu Huraira), "The strong [person] is not the one who overcomes the
people by his strength, but the strong [person] is the one who
controls himself while in anger." In fact, staying patient and calm
is key to physical strength.

{Invite (mankind, O Muhammad ) to the Way of your Lord (i.e. Islam) with wisdom (i.e. with the Divine Inspiration and the Qur'an) and fair preaching, and argue with them in a way that is better. Truly, your Lord knows best who has gone astray from His Path, and He is the Best Aware of those who are guided.}
(Holy Quran-16:125)
{And who is better in speech than he who [says: "My Lord is Allah (believes in His Oneness)," and then stands straight (acts upon His Order), and] invites (men) to Allah's (Islamic Monotheism), and does righteous deeds, and says: "I am one of the Muslims."} (Holy Quran-41:33)
The prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "By Allah, if Allah guides one person by you, it is better for you than the best types of camels." [al-Bukhaaree, Muslim]
The prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) also said, "Whoever calls to guidance will have a reward similar to the reward of the one who follows him, without the reward of either of them being lessened at all."
[Muslim, Ahmad, Aboo Daawood, an-Nasaa'ee, at-Tirmidhee, Ibn Maajah]
