The Difference Between Displeasure, Anger, and Hatred

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, is *sakhth* (displeasure) the same as *ghadab* (anger), or is there a subtle difference between them? Please clarify this for us.

Answer:
Displeasure, anger, and hatred all carry the same meaning, except that some may be more severe than others. They say that hatred is the most intense form of anger. Hatred is the most intense anger, and displeasure is likewise the most intense anger. Yes, so anger is the broader term, while displeasure and hatred are more specific. Yes, and Allah the Exalted knows best. May Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, and upon his family and his Companions. Yes.
