Evil In The Absence Of Good
Or – this problem could basically be explained in layers. Like evil not being anything in Real. The layers of ghayb (unseen) create this ‘illusion’ of evil which in reality is also Khayr?
Is He showing us that He ‘could’ but He ‘wouldn’t’? But that also doesn’t suffice as I cannot simply accept a God who has these potential evils in Him otherwise. But, if me, being His creation, cant accept this notion of God having the ‘potential’ only of evil (with fully knowing He wouldn’t exercise it from how much I know Him). Then, how could He who created me have the potential? Like, i can’t accept the idea so how could He host the potential?
Therefore, you win a water cooler!! (im pretty sure you wouldn’t get the joke since you’re not a desi kid). 😉 On a serious note, what you say about him lying regarding His just dealings. Could you elaborate a bit? (Considering our above conversation)
