Good and Evil in Religious Philosophy and in the Holy Qur’an

Abstract

We must understand very well about the difference between engaging in religion and thinking about it. The former is like enjoyment; the latter is like contemplation. A young man, for example, loves a girl; feeling of love is called enjoyment, whereas thinking about loving is called contemplation. So religion is dedication or contentment, while philosophy is a thinking or contemplation.Consider these two alternatives: (1) God is not powerful; (2) God is not all-good. I need some additional premises connecting the terms ‘good’, ‘evil’ and ‘omnipotent’. These additional principles are that good is opposed to evil, in such as way that a good thing always eliminates evil as far as it can, and there are not limited to what an omnipotent thing can do. From these it follows that a good omnipotent thing eliminates evil completely and then the propositions that a good omnipotent thing exists, and that evil exists, are incomparable.
