If God is Merciful, Why does evil Exist? A comprehensive response from Islāmic scholarship.
A child suffers. An innocent person is wronged. A natural disaster strikes. And the question arises: If Allāh is All-Powerful and Merciful, why does evil exist?
This question – known as the Problem of Evil – is the single most common argument used by militant atheists and skeptics to challenge faith. It circles through social media, bewildering believers and convincing many that belief in God is unreasonable.
This book provides the clear, rational, and comprehensive answer you have been looking for.
Eight clear answers to Atheist arguments
In this concise yet profound work, Shaykh Dr. Ṣāliḥ as-Sindī addresses the problem of suffering from eight powerful angles. Drawing on the vast tradition of Islāmic theology and scholarship.
He does not ask you to abandon logic or accept mystery. Instead, he demonstrates how sound reasoning itself – when examined carefully – reveals that the existence of evil does not contradict the existence of a Wise Creator. In fact, it points directly toward His Wisdom, Justice, and Mercy.
What you will discover inside:
- Rational proofs: Why the atheist argument collapses under logical scrutiny.
- Divine wisdom: How to see the hidden good behind apparent evil.
- The reality of life: Understanding the purpose of trial (bala’) and the nature of this world vs. the afterlife.
- Intellectual confidence: Tools to defend your faith against doubts and misconceptions.
- Clear examples: Complex theological ideas explained through simple, powerful analogies that anyone can understand.
A Muslim facing doubts, a student of theology, or a skeptic seeking a genuine answer – this book invites you to examine the matter with clarity and reason.
By the grace of Allāh, confusion will depart, and understanding will arrive.
