It can be - if you're angry at the right things: injustice, ignorance, greed, poverty, sickness, etc.

Anger at poverty can do the same and can inspire someone to do things to help the poor.

Answer 2

Letting out anger, or any kind of emotion is very healthy. It's how you do it that defines if it's healthy or not. And that is the big trick there. Most people forget to think before they react to anger. I do sometimes. And we all make that mistake at least once in our lifetime. It's the energy behind the anger that we must learn to control because that's what gets our adrenaline up and we burst into screaming, or wanting to hit something. A boxers punching bag, or a lot of exercise helps a great deal with this. You end up using that energy that forms behind the anger doing exercise to the point to where you are completely exhausted. And you'll find yourself thinking about what you got angery at and you can deal with it in a more constructive way because you got rid of that energy behind it. But we're human and often don't think before we react.

Answer 3

Oh yes! Anger can be a very good thing!
A prime mover, a learning tool, a motivator to change which is always, always a good thing. I am angry right now at a man who has used me and made a fool of me. So this will help me to avoid such entanglements in the future as he was sending all the signals and I just refused to read them. (Denial in not just a river in Egypt! It is alive and well right here for me!)

I think anger is just another tool we use for survival. Just like fear. ♥

Answer 4

Initial reactions to cases of heinous crimes ( like child abuse ) or injustice ,
Would normally be one of anger .
I personally do not trust people who are not troubled by these events . . .
However , anger involves lots of bio-chemistry , which can interfere with clear thinking .
Even in the case of a child abuser , the best solutions come when a person has thought through the solutions pragmatically .

Anger may be the initial driving energy that motivates one to action ,
But should not be the controlling force .

As long as it's vented in the right way and not taken out on a person it can be.Take it out on a punch bag or go running etc. Built up aggression can make a person seriously unstable.

Anger is lawful in cases of religious affair's when its honours are at stake. It is an effective preventive measure to safeguard the dignity of man. A person who has no anger is called a coward because he has got no true faith in Allah. The person fears the creation and not the creator. This doesn't give the right for youngsters to become angry with parents when they don't get what they want.
If a person doesn't practice Islam, a person disobeys the command of Allah or a person doesn't listen to his parents then to become angry with such a person can be lawful. But the person shouldn't become too angry because in Islam extreme anger is unlawful because it creates opposition and bitterness.
It is undesirable for a pious man to lose his temper, due to jokes, frivolous talks, quarrels, criticism and greed for wealth.
The real strength of a man lies in controlling his wrath. i.e. Anger.
It is reported in a Hadith on the authority of Abu Huraira (Allah be pleased with him) that the messenger of Allah (Mohammed ( ) Peace and blessing of Allah be upon him said :

"The man is not a good wrestler; the strong man is in fact the person who controls himself at the time of anger."
the above Hadith is stated in Bukhari.
Anger is unlawful because it destroys the faith of a man. Bah bin hakim (Allah be please with him) Reported that the messenger of Allah (peace and blessing of Allah be upon him) . Said: Verily anger spoil's faith just as aloes spoils honey .
It is stated in Bukhari.:
" A person should be cautious from being angry."
Back
It has been narrated by Abu Huraira (May Allah be pleased with him) That Allah's Messenger Muhammad ( ) Said:

“ The strong is not the one who over comes the people by his strength”
"But the strong is the one who controls him while in anger."
In another narration by Abu Huraira (May Allah be pleased with him man said to the Prophet Muhammad ( ) Advise me.
The Prophet Muhammad (). Said :

" Do not become angry “
The man asked the same question again and again and the Prophet Muhammad () Replied by in case by saying:

“ Do not become angry and furious”
Back

By looking from the advise given by our beloved Prophet Muhammad () we shouldn't become anger and furious. If we remember the advise and saying of our beloved Prophet Muhammad ( )then the person becoming angry will control his anger.
But the youngster today have forgotten the teaching of our Prophet Muhammad () there become angry and furious for small reason like if their parent tell them to do something which their donut like there say to the parent in anger that I donut what to do it like cleaning the house or the toilet. So the best person is one who controls him self in anger.

Hadrat Anas: (Allah be pleased with him) reported that the messenger of Allah ( Muhammad( ) said:
Who so takes up his tongue as treasure Allah will keep his secrets concealed and who so restrains his anger Allah will with hold his punishment on the resurrection day and who so ascribes excuse to Allah will accept his excuse.
So by reading this we should refrain from becoming anger. Because anger destroys one faith. The person in anger forgets where he is and says anything which he regrets after.
Back
Today people are becoming angry because of the lifestyle and the society we live in. When a person is under stress he or she tends to become angry because the jobs not done or their children donut listen to them. There become angry and the anger is taken out on the child.
When a person becomes angry to their parent then that mean he's angry with Allah Paradise lies between your parent . If you treat them and help them then Allah will reward you in this world and the hereafter. But if you displeased your parent
this means you are displeasing Allah then the person will be deprived from Allah's mercy. and the person will get punish in the hereafter.
The aim and objective of reading this is to practice what has been written and refine from becoming angry. To become angry for Islamic reason is permissible but it shouldn't cause anyone harm.
Women should control their anger. because anger effects everyone. So anger is lawful for islamic reason and if ones hourner is at risk's.Other then this Anger is not permissible.
