Animals Suffering In This World
The notion God is only good or only mercy creates such kind of issues. You need to first learn how God has described itself. Please see responses of Irfan sb and Umer sb for similar question Discussion 48538
Secondly, what does it mean that God is not “only good”… Is he “somewhat bad” too? if his every action is not good then some of his actions are bad? Is he somewhat evil then?
We have been only told the humans are here for a test. To say something like it is avoidable or not powerful without knowing the whole plan is not meaningful. From my perspective, why create the universe in the first place would have been a more meaningful question. However, because of our limits , we can just think but perhaps may not reach the right conclusion without God telling us.
