The Problem of Evil and the Anticipation of Divine Justice

Share this post :

The problem of evil in religious philosophy is perhaps the most unsettling and existentially profound issue for human reflection.

 While it may initially seem like a metaphysical question concerning the relationship between Allah, Almighty, and the world, it quickly unveils its deeper ethical, psychological, and spiritual aspects. It touches upon the very essence of human suffering in the world and challenges the mind to reconcile the belief in divine mercy with the pervasive reality of daily, relentless pain. It would not be an exaggeration to say that the problem of evil has served as a key catalyst for the modern Western rebellion against metaphysics, contributing to skepticism regarding traditional views of divine justice, and even playing a significant role in the rise of nihilistic, absurdist, and meaninglessness philosophies.
