Best Answer

Muslims believe that God is TRANSCENDENT (beyond human understanding) but whatever he does he has a reason for it which only He knows.

Not all Evil and Suffering is caused by Him, this world was created in such a way that natural disasters do occur, but that doesn't necessarily mean that He is punishing those affected by the disaster.

Muslims also believe that this life is a test and there will be difficulties along this journey but the Ultimate Goal (Heaven) is most definitely worth it and any undeserved suffering will be put right (basically, you will be rewarded for being patient and having faith in Him)

Please feel free to correct me if i am wrong.

one reason Muslims would respond is that god sends evil and suffering

Why do evil and suffering cause some people to reject belief in God?

Some people struggle to reconcile the existence of evil and suffering with the idea of a benevolent and all-powerful God. This can lead them to question or reject their belief in God's existence, as they see these things as incompatible. The presence of evil and suffering in the world can challenge their faith and raise existential doubts about the nature of God.


Why is there evil and suffering?

A lot of people ask themselves...If God is all powerful and loving, then why is there evil and suffering in the world. Evil as in crime and murder and suffering as in earthquakes, hurricanes or even an illness. What I have learned in my R.E lesson is that if there is no evil and suffering, there is no generosity in the world and the best thing I like about Islam is that most of it is to do about thinking less about yourself and thinking more about others. Most important is to give to charity. If there is no suffering, there is no charity, and if there is no charity, less people will think about others.

Where did evil come from and why is there suffering in the world?

A:In philosophy, this is called the problem of evil and suffering. Evil must come from somewhere, but if God is all-powerful, all-knowing, all good, and the sole creator of the world, then why is there evil and suffering? The problem can only be resolved if at least one of these propositions is false. Therefore if God is all-powerful, he is either not all-knowing and is therefore unaware of all the evil in the world, or he is not all-good and is unconcerned about all. Evil and suffering exist because at least one proposition of religion is false.


A Buddhist response to evil and suffering?

Suffering is a disturbance or irritation of the mindstream. It is an obscuration of the mind, or essence of a person, or, if you will, the soul. The opposite of suffering in Buddhist epistemology is not really happiness or even the cessation of suffering, but freedom from the polarizing concept that causes us to be attracted to some things and averse to others. Suffering is thought to be the result of confused thinking. People think that to be happy, they need to grasp at those things that they think will bring them pleasure. We are very attached to this idea; that having what we want will bring us happiness. It is actually that grasping, that attachment that causes suffering. The Buddhist response to evil is to understand that it emerges from the same root as suffering, and is a result of confusion about what will bring lasting happiness. Buddhists also recognize that all sentient beings have an essential Buddha Nature, and that harmful actions are a result of obscurations of that Buddha Nature.
