Ep. 8: Why Does Evil Exist? | Islam and Evidence

If God is good, all-powerful, and all-knowing — why is there suffering? This is the most common objection to belief in God. The Quran doesn't avoid it. Chapter 2, verse 155 states directly: "We will surely test you." Not maybe. Not if things go wrong. Certainly. This episode examines the Quranic framework for understanding suffering: that this life is not the destination but the journey, that hardship and ease are both tests, and that the patient will receive their reward without measure — from the One who created both the test and the person taking it.
