The Problem of Evil: Dualism, Justice, and Divine Wisdom

In Episode 12 of the BeQuran Podcast, hosts Ali and Fatima confront one of the most difficult theological questions: If God is all-powerful and all-good, why is there evil in the world?

This episode dives deep into:

• The concept of dualism and why Islam rejects the idea of two competing divine forces
• How the Qur’an frames suffering as part of divine wisdom, not chaos
• Analogies that help us understand pain: bitter medicine, testing in school, and the full story beyond one page
• Why trusting in Allah’s justice goes beyond what we can see in this life
• How trials and tests are opportunities for growth, not signs of divine absence

Join us as we unpack the emotional and intellectual dimensions of this question and explore how belief in Tawhid offers clarity in times of hardship.
