Question:
Honorable Shaykh, some sects deny some of the attributes of the Lord, Glorious is His status, such as anger and pleasure. They argue that every new occurrence has a creator. Please inform us, may Allah reward you?
Answer:
Yes, in every case, there is no doubt regarding the indication of this text concerning the prohibition of describing Allah with pleasure and anger. Allah describes Himself as being pleased and as being angry. How can you deny what Allah has affirmed about Himself, disobey Allah, Mighty and Majestic, and contradict the words of Allah, Mighty and Majestic? Yes, and Allah the Exalted knows best, and may Allah send prayers and peace upon our Prophet Muhammad, and upon his family and all his Companions.
