A world full of injustice provokes anger. There is a reason for that: anger is a valuable tool in fighting injustice - one who has no anger whatsoever will be too scared or easily discouraged to stand up for what is right.
But anger has to be controlled, as a hunting dog is controlled by its master:
“As for the force of anger, it’s balance is expressed through courage (and Allah SWT loves courage). If it leans towards the excessive side, it is called recklessness, and if it leans to deficiency it is called cowardice.
“As for the force of anger, it’s balance is achieved when it is restrained and released according to what either the Revealed Law or wisdom dictates.”
Al-Arba’in fi Usul ad-Din (The Forty Principles of the Religion), Imam Al-Ghazali
