MISUSE OF بغض
فی الّٰلہ (ANGER FOR ALLAH)
While it is correct that our
anger should only be for Allah Ta’alah, some people misunderstand the meaning
of this completely. For example, when some people start following religion,
they start believing that they are superior and virtuous, while everyone else
is inferior and is a sinner. They start thinking that their parents, their
siblings, their friends are all sinners, and will go to Hell (Jahannum), while
they are the only ones who will go to paradise (Jannah). They start believing
that Allah Ta’alah has created them to bring everyone else to the right path. They
start being angry with their family and friends, start insulting and ridiculing
them, start using harsh words with them, ad start violating their rights. The
Satan makes them believe that whatever they are doing is for the sake of Allah,
while in reality it is their Takabbur (arrogance, believing that we are
superior to others and others are inferior to us) and egotism leading them to
such behaviour.
That is why people who have just
started following the path of Allah sometimes cause more harm than good, by
being angry with other people excessively, criticizing other harshly, and
getting into fights over religion. Such behaviour often puts other people off
religion, rather than attract them towards it.
