She says, “My problem is that when I see what angers Allah, I shout and become agitated and angry with intense anger, and I clarify that this is forbidden, but with my shouting, especially if the one in front of me is not convinced and does not want to be convinced, and when I present the evidence, they interpret it other than its interpretation, I become angrier, and I read that the noble Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) informed a person who asked him, saying: ‘Do not get angry three times,’ and I read another hadith to the effect that the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) did not get angry for himself, but he would get angry when the prohibitions of Allah were violated. I ask for clarification on how the anger of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was when the prohibitions of Allah were violated? What is our role, and how should our anger be? And what is the anger prohibited in the first hadith? We ask for your guidance, may Allah reward you with good.”

The questioner : Also, from her questions is this question: She says, “My problem is that when I see what angers Allah, I shout and become agitated and angry with intense anger, and I clarify that this is forbidden, but with my shouting, especially if the one in front of me is not convinced and does not want to be convinced, and when I present the evidence, they interpret it other than its interpretation, I become angrier, and I read that the noble Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him).”
The Shaykh : O Allah, send blessings and peace upon him.
The questioner : informed a person who asked him, saying: three times, and I read another hadith to the effect that the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him).
The Shaykh : O Allah, send blessings and peace upon him.
The questioner : did not get angry for himself, but he would get angry when the prohibitions of Allah were violated. I ask for clarification on how the anger of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was when the prohibitions of Allah were violated, and what is our role, and how should our anger be, and what is the anger prohibited in the first hadith? We ask for your guidance, may Allah reward you with good?
The Shaykh : There is no doubt that if a person has zeal for the prohibitions of Allah, there is no doubt that he will become angry and agitated. However, a person should reassure himself and know that guidance is in the hand of Allah (Mighty and Majestic), as Allah the Exalted said to His Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him):[Al-Qasas 28:56] And he should handle matters with wisdom, as the Exalted said: [An-Nahl 16:125].
And the anger that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) advised leaving is the anger that a person can control. As for what arises from zeal for Allah, His religion, and His Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), without a person being able to suppress it, a person is not held accountable for it. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would sometimes become angry in his sermons when admonishing the people for violating something of the prohibitions of Allah (Mighty and Majestic), such as when he stood up angry when it was mentioned to him that a man had divorced his wife three times. And as Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) mentioned in describing his sermons, he said: “The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), when he would preach, his eyes would redden, his voice would rise, and his anger would intensify until he was like a warner of an army, saying: ‘Woe to you in the morning and in the evening’”.
But a person must, when he becomes angry, strive with utmost effort to maintain balance and not let offensive, repulsive words come out of him, as is the case with some preachers; you find him speaking with offensive language, which may be repulsive to people regarding the acceptance of his admonition. So a person should be a ruler over himself, in control of himself, so that he acts with balance. Yes.
The questioner : May Allah bless you.
The Shaykh : O Allah, send blessings and peace upon him.
The questioner : informed a person who asked him, saying:
Do not get angry
لا تغضبThe Shaykh : O Allah, send blessings and peace upon him.

Indeed, [O Muhammad], you do not guide whom you like, but Allah guides whom He wills
إنك لا تهدي من أحببت ولكن الله يهدي من يشاءInvite to the way of your Lord with wisdom and good instruction, and argue with them in a way that is best
ادع إلى سبيل ربك بالحكمة والموعظة الحسنة وجادلهم بالتي هي أحسنAnd the anger that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) advised leaving is the anger that a person can control.
