Islam on the Issue of Suffering
One of the arguments put forth to cast doubt on the existence of God is what can be called the Problem of Evil or Suffering. This objection results from a misunderstanding that evil and suffering are created by God, while the truth is that they result from man’s actions. The perception of evil and suffering in human life results from the wrong attribution. The suffering in a person’s life is sometimes due to the person’s actions and sometimes due to the actions of the parents, relatives, or society in general. Quite often, the collective system, in its broadest sense, is responsible. Suffering may be caused due to an immediate reason, and sometimes its causes go back many generations. Whatever may be the cause, there is no basis for attributing it to God.
