Is anger haraam?

You —

I always assumed it was... and I am certain that I have been told so in the distant past.


But a bunch of angry muslims were challenging that assertion, pretending that they are angry for the sake of Allah(swt)


So, is it haraam?

the same as happiness or sadness


it can never be right or wrong as it isnt an action

Anger is not forbbidden.


Pretending to please God is not allowed.


Pretending to please a woman is fine.

Was just skim reading the forty hadith compilation by Imam Nawawi anc came accross this:


On the authority of Abu Hurairah, who said : a man said to the prophet : "Counsel me". He said : " Do not become angry". The man repeated [his request] several times, and he said: "Do not become angry ". Narrated by Bukhari
