Description

Islamic Theology and the Problem of Evil by Safaruk Chowdhury explores how Muslims have grappled with the existence of evil in the world. The book delves into four key problems: human disability, animal suffering, evolutionary natural selection, and Hell, each presenting a distinct explanation or justification for the respective evil. Chowdhury examines the mainstream Sunni theological tradition's understanding of evil and its various justifications, including an evolutionary approach previously unexplored in Islamic theology. This systematic study draws on insights from medieval Muslim theologians and contemporary philosophers of religion, making it a valuable resource for scholars and students of theology and philosophy alike. By applying an analytic-theology approach, Chowdhury sheds new light on the concept of evil within Islamic theology, offering a nuanced understanding of this complex issue.
