The Rules of Praiseworthy Anger in Defending the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and Is There a Blameworthy Anger?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Your Excellency the Shaykh, a questioner says: What are the rules of the praiseworthy anger in defending the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)? And is there a blameworthy anger?
Answer:
It is necessary for Muslims to be angry at those who overstep against the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), but it must be anger within limits. It must be accompanied by strong arguments and proofs from the Book and the Sunnah, and from reality, from the recurring reality of history. This is what silences them.
As for violence, destruction, and demonstrations, these are not part of defending the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him). Rather, the enemies rejoice in that and say, “We have stirred up the Muslims and stirred them up.” This is what makes them happy. But strong proofs and arguments are what deter them and silence them. Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) responded to the polytheists in many places in the Qur'an, and these responses exist in the Qur'an. It is upon us to bring them forth and explain them, and they are what silence the enemies. Yes.
