that someone else has played on an electronic device. It is normal to feel frustrated
when we are trying to focus and there is some distraction even if it is a good one.
This is how our brain functions, it struggles to switch focus and as a result we feel
frustrated. All of us love our families and young children, but we feel frustrated
when they are cause of distraction. It just need us to train our mind on how to
handle distractions.

2. It is possible that you feel guilty for not paying attention to it.

3. It is possible that satanic insinuations make you feel angry towards the person who
is reciting or playing the recitation so that you cannot benefit from it or sin by being
disrespectful towards the person or Quran. Whenever we feel angry or depressed,
this is caused by our own weakness to be patient as well as from satan. We need to
develop patience. It is the one of the most important virtues recommended in
Quran. At the same time we need to be cautious of satanic insinuations as well.
That doesn’t mean one is possessed. Every person is susceptible to it. There is no
place where we are safe from satan, which is why before reciting Quran we seek
protection of Allah from satan. Even the doubt of being possessed for oneself or
someone is from satan so that a person begins with a judgemental view and cannot
analyze the situation objectively. Ayatul Kursi and the last three chapters of Quran
are good dhikr for protection against satan. Whenever you feel angry, say
audhubillahi minashaitanirajeem. I have tested it again and again that when
someone says it, his anger goes away. The Prophet, peace be upon him, taught this
way. Quran also reminds us about it. (Quran 7:200, 16:988, 41:36) The last two
chapters are solely about seeking protection from all forms of evil.

Sulayman ibn Surad reported: Two people insulted each other in the presence of the
Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, and the eyes of one of them
became red like embers and the veins of his neck were swelling. The Prophet said, “Verily,
I know a word he could say to calm himself: I seek refuge in Allah from the cursed Satan.”

Source: Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī 5764, Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim 2610

Grade: Muttafaqun Alayhi (authenticity agreed upon) according to Al-Bukhari and Muslim

In addition, often the effect of some sin causes anxiety, sadness and frustration. We need to
seek forgiveness of Allah. This is also repeatedly testted formuula based on a saheeh hadith
that if you recite astaghfar 100 times you will feel light heart and positive. The problems
remain the same, but we become less anxious, we learn how to handle them and we feel
positive about everything. Actually, what troubles is not the problem itself, but its effect on
our heart and mood. When we have right attitude, we can face any problem and find a way
through it.

Al-Aghar al-Muzani reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him,
said, “Verily, at times there is fog over my heart, so I seek the forgiveness of Allah one
hundred times in a day.”

you will be less irritated and more able to focus on what you do. Patience requires practice,
and also positive belief. As a Muslim you believe that Allah tests your patience and rewards
you when you are patient. You can develop your focus through meditation, which is focusing
on your breath for 10–12 minutes at a stretch, preferable everyday morning. Also, you can
try not to engage in the activities which are stressful or distracting for the first hour when
you wake up. Whatever we do, whether useful or useless, is all habits. Every action we do
from the time we wake-up and we go to sleep becomes part of a habit, an old habit or we
are creating a new habit. Focus, patience, worrying, frustration, anger etc. are also part of
habits. You may get cues from what makes you frustrated and you can try to change the cue

How do you believe that the consciousness and subconsciousness

of our minds affect the structure and ways of our everyday life?
It's very fascinating to learn to about the power of our subconscious mind,
perhaps the most important learning about human beings. I can elaborate it

Post-script:

To elaborate further on the point of satanic insinuation, it may be because one has some
subconscious negative memories related with the recitation of Quran. For example, you see
a movie in which a terrorist is shown reciting Quran and than he blows up innocent people.
This will stay in your subconscious mind even if you are not consciously aware of it. It is an
extreme example, while there can be many negative experiences of similar nature. One
might have been cheated, harmed or insulted by a person who was actively seen reciting the
Quran. We human beings are complex and recital of the Quran doesn’t guarantee good
character, although it increases the chances provided the reciter also reflects upon the
meaning of it, not just reciting the text for blessing, and he gives more importance to the
command of Allah than to his ego. One might have been exposed to propaganda where
Quran and religious Muslims, I mean stereotypically religious, are shown doing hateful
things. All these have an impact in our mind and create biases in our thinking. It is hard to
get rid of these biases unless one works on them. Once I saw a group of people in certain
religious dress and I experienced some bitterness in my heart. I introspected and concluded
that it was because the same group is associated with persecution of Muslim in a certain
place. Obviously only a minority of a community are actually responsible for horrible crimes
against humanity, but our mind cannot comprehend that, or process that in a short time
while stereotypical conclusion is handy for it. Our mind is a lazy organ, because it is also the
most hard working organ, and it saves energy by blaming the entire group rather than
handling the dual possibility that some people of a community are criminals not the entire
community. It works on the data that is easily accessible to it. We have to work hard to
overcome biases so that we can make good judgement. We are taught of sabr repeatedly in
the Quran and sunnah because it gives us the gap to overcome emotions and look at facts
more objectively.

All praise is for Allah, the Lord of the worlds.

3. Did you hear Arabic recitation as a child? Does the recitation remind you of

6. What can you identify about the anger? Usually anger is anger with someone. Who?

7. What do you want?

My first impression is based on most of us being, as it were, possessed by the past. This
creates a kind of programming that we may not recognise, instead we may identify with the
thoughts that come up. The ancient advice is to know yourself, but also that the self is a
transient illusion.

I see that the OP has given a little more information.

… I do not understand the Arabic language but whenever I hear the Quran playing, I just
start getting very uncomfortable and angry. It's like an itch I cannot satisfy unless I turn off
the Quran.

Again, are you Muslim? Do you recite any of the Qur’an yourself?

Related Can I, as a Muslim, know if Allah is annoyed or angry with me?

Let me answer you this, in very simple words:

If you are worried, Allah wants to guide you. If you are worried, and think about every loss of
your prayer, every sin you did, it means Allah is knocking your heart.

If you are relax and tension free and do not care about your duties, if it is becoming easier to
do sins, it might mean that Allah is getting angrier with you, and does not care what you do
anymore and there are really low chances of getting back on track.

In that case one should immediately find company of Very good and Religious people.

And don’t be fooled by satanic whispers, like you are gonna lose, you are gonna go away
from your deen. NO. Quickly shush this idea and repent to Allaah and find good company of
a good religious guy. IT IS GETTING VERY IMPORTANT AND TIME IS RUNNING OUT…

BTW, see how Allah is close to us, people who say where is Allah, i say to them, where is he
not?? It’s like he has control over everything :)

The control, even on human thoughts is a clear evidence of Allah’s existence and in touch
with mankind. The control of universe defines that someone is in-charge, only invisible to
our eyes, because we are being tested on earth, to see who comes out more and purely
pious and follower of Allah without ever seeing him.

Assalamu alykum wa rahmatu Allahi wa barakatuh

Yes

When you see everything related to Dunia Is going very well with you while things related to
Akhirah is shielded from you.

When you see money and joy coming to you while prayers and zikr is forgotten.

When you see your face darker than before.

When you see good creatures escaping from you while bad creatures like adulterers,
alcoholic are friends with you.

When you see miskiens and poors are running from you and rich and vip persons are getting
closer to you.

When you lol a lot and feel khushoua' rarely.

When Allah subhanahu wa taa'ala is angry with someone he provides him with all Dunia and
prohibt him from Akhirah.

Not as some people thinks

Some ignorant people think that when everything is going not well that Allah is not satisfied
with them while former companions of the prophet and the followers were feeling fear when
they see money and Dunia are coming to them.

You can see big criminals around the world are living in a very good conditions of life and
they get whatever they want and they have more than what they actually need so do you
think that Allah subhanahu wa taa'ala is satisfied with big politicians for example?

Read Qur'an 43:33

When you find Allah pulling you to worshipping and good deeds then he loved and loves
you.

When you see yourself forgetting worshipping and good deeds and you don't mention
Allah's names and don't remember to say “ salla Allah alyhi wa sallam” when you hear the
names of prophets then he is not pleased with you.

When you feel darkness in your heart and narrowness in chest.

So check on your deeds and repair your family relationships and specially your parents and
womb relatives.

May Allah bless you with his mercy and guidance Ameen

Related Why does it feel like Allah is angry or upset with me?
Bismillah. First allow me to apologise for some of the rude, inconsiderate remarks of some of
the unbelievers out there; they will have their day in court. Second, regarding your feeling
that Allah, Subhanahu wa ta3allah may be upset with you, it seems that you are likely
suffering from a guilty conscience. As long as that feeling is not too overwhelming, it is not
really such a bad state. According to some if the scholars the ideal state for a Muslim is to
be between hope and fear. As long as your fear is balanced by some hope you are actually
doing well. A person who has no fear of Allah has no “Taqwa” - fear, respect for Allah - a
necessary ingredient for success in Islam. If you feel guilty about something maybe you
could follow it up with some good deeds. Could be small like doing some dhikr_Allah,
reading Quran, making Salawaat on Prophet. Perhaps a small charity (sadaqa) to someone in
need. And pray! I hear that Allah loves those that turn to him in prayer.

Lastly, be careful about seeking help about Islam on Quora. There are wolves out there who
would tear you to shreds.

Allah does not sound angry in the Quran. I have no idea why you state this. Yes there are
verses that speak about God’s wrath, but there are also many many verses that speak about
God’s mercy. The Quran is balanced between God’s mercy and His wrath. In fact there are
explicit verses that show the greatness of God’s mercy such as:

Say, "O My servants who have transgressed against themselves [by sinning], do not
despair of the mercy of Allah . Indeed, Allah forgives all sins. Indeed, it is He who is the
Forgiving, the Merciful." (Quran, 39:53)

There are very personal reasons why people cry while reading the Quran. The most common
reasons I think are;

1. The Quran is a Revelation from Allah, it’s His words. Reading the Quran obviously
makes someone feel close to Allah, the Almighty. This makes someone emotional.

2. Fear. Fear for dissapointing Allah, fear for punishments of your sins, fear of death
because sometimes people get reminded of it by reading Quran.

3. Shame. Shame because they feel that they neglected their religion or were
unthankful for the things Allah gave them.
