Why does God create evil?
In reality, good is the rule in the universe, and evil is the rare exception. We enjoy health most of our lives and only fall ill for short periods. Natural disasters, wars, and pain though difficult are brief interruptions in a world full of stability, healing, and growth.
Even what we call “evil” often brings hidden good:
Illness builds immunity.
Pain teaches strength.
Earthquakes relieve pressure and prevent bigger disasters.
Volcanoes enrich the soil.
Wars, though tragic, have led to global cooperation and major inventions.
Even venom and microbes give us medicine and vaccines.
What we see as “evil” is often a means for growth and a test of character. It reveals who we truly are and helps determine our sincerity, patience, and faith. Life is just one chapter in a larger story. We can’t judge the whole book from a single page. We cannot judge Allah’s wisdom by what we see in a single moment.
If someone demands a world with no pain, no death, no sorrow, they’re asking for absolute perfection, which belongs to God alone.
Paradoxically, the existence of evil is actually evidence for faith, not against it. If we were purely material beings, we wouldn't even recognize good or evil. The fact that we do shows that we come from something higher than matter.
There is no such thing as meaningless evil, only trials wrapped in divine wisdom and mercy.
