In this volume, Sahli Sayilgan explores the problem of evil and
suffering in Islamic theology along with the questions that both
religious and non-religious people alike perennially ask: Why is
there evil and suffering? What is God's role in both natural and
moral evil? If God is loving, just, powerful, why is there innocent
suffering? Do humans have free will or are they predestined to act
in a certain way? Examining both theoretical and practical theodicy
in Islam, he provides Muslim perspectives on natural and moral evil
in light of Islamic theological concepts. Sayilgan interrogates
several specifics topics related to evil and suffering, including
death, sickness, aging, disability, climate change, and pandemics.
These topics are explored through case studies from the lives of
Muslims, with particular attention given to the American context. A
comparative and dialogical study, Sayilgan's volume also engages
with Zoroastrian, Hindu, Buddhist, Jewish, and Christian
approaches, as well as non-religious perspectives. This title is
part of the Flip it Open Programme and may also be available Open
Access. Check our website Cambridge Core for details.
