| Praiseworthy anger: Allah's anger to the enemies of Islam, the Jews and their likes. It is also praiseworthy when it is for the sake of Allah, i.e. when someone transgresses the limits of Allah. Allah, the Exalted, says:
And in his absence the people of Musa took to worshipping the effigy of a calf [made] of their ornaments, which gave forth a lowing sound. Did they not see that it could neither speak unto them nor guide them in any way? [And yet] they took to worshipping it, for they were evildoers: although [later,] when they would smite their hands in remorse, having perceived that they had gone astray, they would say, "Indeed, unless our Sustainer have mercy on us and grant us forgiveness, we shall most certainly be among the lost!" And when Musa returned to his people, full of wrath and sorrow, he exclaimed: "Vile is the course which you have followed in my absence! Have you forsaken your Sustainer’s commandment?" And he threw down the tablets [of the Law], and seized his brother’s head, dragging him towards himself. Cried Harun: "O my mother’s son! Behold, the people brought me low and almost slew me: so let not mine enemies rejoice at my affliction, and count me not among the evildoing folk!" Said [Musa]: "O my Sustainer! Grant Your forgiveness unto me and my brother, and admit us unto Your grace: for You are the most merciful of the merciful!" [And to Harun he said:] "Verily, as for those who have taken to worshipping the [golden] calf – their Sustainer’s condemnation will overtake them, and ignominy [will be their lot] in the life of this world!" For thus do We requite all who invent [such] falsehood. But as for those who do bad deeds and afterwards repent and [truly] believe – verily, after such repentance Your Sustainer is indeed much-forgiving, a dispenser of grace! And when Musa’ wrath was stilled, he took up the tablets, in the writing whereof there was guidance and grace for all who stood in awe of their Sustainer. (7:148-154)
Praiseworthy anger is that which can be controlled by an individual.
