So in it, there is a response to those who interpreted displeasure and anger as revenge; because the people of negation, from the Ash'arites and others, say: that what is meant by displeasure and anger is revenge, or the will of revenge, and they do not interpret displeasure and anger as an attribute from the attributes of God by which He characterizes Himself, so they say His anger; that is: His revenge or the will of His revenge; they either interpret the anger as the object separated from God, which is revenge, or the will because they concede it, and they do not interpret it as a fixed attribute of God in a way that befits Him.

And we say to them: Rather, displeasure and anger are different from revenge; and revenge is the result of anger and displeasure; as we say: that reward is the result of satisfaction; so Allah, the Exalted and Most High, is displeased with these people and is angry upon them, then He takes revenge from them.

And be cautious.

And if they say that the intellect prevents the establishment of displeasure and anger for God, the Almighty, then we respond to them with what has preceded in the attribute of satisfaction; because the door is one.
