Question:
What is the sign of Allah’s (Glorified and Exalted is He) pleasure as distinct from His anger while we are on earth?
Answer:
[Al-Fatihah 1:1-2], and may Allah send blessings and peace upon our Prophet Muhammad, and upon his family and all his Companions. To proceed: Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, is pleased with obedience and becomes angry with disobedience. He is pleased with His believing servants and becomes angry with His enemies, namely the disbelievers, the hypocrites, the transgressors, and the sinners. Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, said: [Az-Zumar 39:7] And many verses of the Qur'an indicate that Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, loves those who turn to Him in repentance, loves those who purify themselves, and loves those who do good. He hates the disbelievers and the hypocrites. This indicates that Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, is pleased with His servants for their faith, the oneness of Allah, and their obedience, for in this lies their well-being and happiness. He becomes angry with the transgressors, the disbelievers, and the hypocrites, and He hates disbelief and hypocrisy, for in this lies harm for the servants. And He, Glorified and Exalted is He, is Merciful to His servants; He loves for them what benefits them and dislikes for them what harms them. Among the signs of Allah's pleasure with a servant is His granting him success in doing righteous deeds. This is one of the signs of Allah's pleasure with His servant: that He grants him success in righteous deeds and expands his chest for Islam. Among the signs of Allah's anger with His servant is his turning away from the obedience of Allah, Mighty and Majestic, his being deprived of worship, and his falling into sins. This is among the greatest signs of Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, being pleased with His servant or angry with Him. Yes. May Allah reward you with good.

Answer:
(1) In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful. (2) [All] praise is [due] to Allah, Lord of the worlds -
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَIf you disbelieve - indeed, Allah is Free from need of you. And He does not approve for His servants disbelief. And if you are grateful, He approves it for you; and no bearer of burdens will bear the burden of another.
إِن تَكْفُرُوا فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ غَنِيٌّ عَنكُمْ وَلَا يَرْضَىٰ لِعِبَادِهِ الْكُفْرَ وَإِن تَشْكُرُوا يَرْضَهُ لَكُمْ وَلَا تَزِرُ وَازِرَةٌ وِزْرَ أُخْرَىٰ
