Critical Reading of -The Problem of Evil

Share this post :

In this article, we have offered a critical reading of one of the most important books addressing the issue of evil.

 In the first section, we aimed at presenting the main discussions and conclusions of the book. The author begins with a unique problem: the connection between the existence of evil in the world and the denial of the existence of Allah. The existence of evil is inevitable, and acknowledging this leads to the conclusion that belief in Allah is not possible. Throughout the chapters of the book, the author attempts to address and resolve this issue.

In the second section of the article, we raised some critical points regarding the author’s treatment of the topic. One of the main issues is the author's focus solely on moral evil, without addressing natural evil. In Addition to that, we observed that although the author relies on the existence of certain benefits that make the presence of evil in the world an unavoidable necessity, he fails to clearly present these benefits.
