1. Seek refuge in Allah. This is the simplest way to control your anger. Whenever you feel angry, sit down, and seek refuge in Allah from Shaytaan. In Arabic, say A'oodhu billahi minash shaytaannir rajeem. Have a drink of water, and relax; don't get tense or stressed out.
2. Keep silent. If someone says something offensive to you, don't retaliate and say something mean back. If you're having an argument, be the better person, realize that nothing good comes out of petty arguments, and keep silent.
3. Relax yourself. If you get angry, move away from the source of anger, and sit down. If you still feel angry, lie down. Breathe in through your nose and out through your mouth, and try to get peace of mind. If you're standing, you may, again out of anger do something you regret
4. Try to think of positive thoughts, instead of dwelling on thoughts that make you angry.
5. Understand what makes you angry. It may be someone at work or at school that you find annoying or rude; instead of getting angry, kindly speak to them. Nothing good comes out of shouting at each other.
It's been narrated that, "Whoever controls his anger at the time when he has the means to act upon it, Allah will fill his heart with contentment on the Day of Resurrection."
6.Know that those who control their anger are praised. They are given a high status and are praised in many Haadith. The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: "The strongest man is the one who, when he gets angry and his face reddens and his hackles rise, is able to defeat his anger.
7. Realize the bad consequences of getting angry. In extreme situations, anger can lead to family breakups or someone getting seriously injured. It can be linked to mental issues or lead to health problems such as a high blood pressure or tachycardia.
8. Make du'a. Supplication humbles us and can help us control our anger. There are many du'as for people who find themselves getting worked up easily as a result of waswas (Bad Thoughts told by shaytaan)
Allahu A’alam may Almighty Allah ease all our affairs.
Ameen.
Ameen.
