Comparative Study on Anger Rumination from the Viewpoint of Islam and Psychology

Anger Rumination is one of the main factors in the persistence of anger and aggression. The aim of this study was a comparative study on anger rumination from the Viewpoint of Islam and psychology. The method of the present study was comparative and descriptive and was performed by collecting information from the Holy Quran and psychological narrations and sources. For this purpose, verses and narrations related to anger, aggression, and temptation from Islamic sources were compiled and explained psychologically based on them. The research findings show that the Qur’anic equivalent of the rumble variable of anger rumination in psychology is the same as the temptations of the devil in times of anger. Also, anger rumination as a repetitive and often inevitable process of thinking about past experiences or the same temptation of the devil as interpreted by the Qur’an properly prevents anger management and consequently increases the consequences Such as revenge, resentment, jealousy, and even murder. Also, Islamic and psychological approaches have differences in explaining the cause, consequences, and types of anger as the underlying cause of anger rumination. Therefore, to reduce the incidence of anger and aggression, it is important to pay attention to the anger rumination or the temptations of the devil, as a mediating variable in psychological and religious therapies.
