@Suleiman _38 since u said there is no sections in Islam. All religions have sections, But Islam is unique since they kill each other saying we are right. After few years of Mohammed' s death, his all relatives were extinguished from earth because of the rule of kill the one who speak against me. Killing Muslims in many parts of the world!!!!! Explain me about what is happening in Nigeria, Syria, Pakistan, Egypt, Iran etc. Where is the Christian population there. When Islam in power they kill innocent Christian, Hindu, other religions including Ahmadeeyas by just claiming religious blasphemy. Even some one say Mohammed's sunna from hadees, it become blasphemy if they are not Muslim. Why you speak against China? It's favorite of Imran Khan. China and Pakistan are good brothers.
don't judge a book by the cover. i judged this man before I hear him speak. now, that I've heard him speak in a couple of videos, I'm pretty amazed at how well-spoken he is. and pretty satisfied with all his answers.
Why dont you watch a video of a cheetah eating a buck and the buck screams in pain. Im sure you would enjoy it. People who defend all the sufferings in the world are either delusional, ignorant of how complex suffering is or plain out psychopathic
@@Yameen200 It seems from your answer that you're at least an agnostic, if not an atheist. Well in your world view, the example that you have given about the cheetah and the buck, there seems to be no evil there, because for the cheetah, it is good that he'll be having his dinner. How do we know that the buck thinks that the cheetah is evil if they both don't work within the basis of morality?
@@Yameen200 I don't agree with that and here's why, yes I am a Christian man however to answer your question I don't want animals to be hurt, but at the same time when I go hunting I'm shooting that duck for a meal to provide for my family and have them eat, I'm not out there just to shoot it to just go out and torture it, I'm out there for meat and to provide food for my family. Or like if I go shoot a deer I'm not there to torture the deer I'm there to go get meat and possibly even a blanket, food warmth meat. Have you ever been to a fish market? If you've been to a fish market you see fish all in a row on ice on shelves, was it wrong for the fisherman to go and fish for that food that people want? No. I'll tell you a quick story, at my Mom and Dad's house we had raccoons eating insulation out of the barn, and there was a raccoon standing out by a tree the one day ready to die, I bring the BB gun out, the creature looks at me I look at it and I shot him. It took me several hits just to have him killed, he didn't die by me shooting him, he died on his own because of the insulation, however I did pick him up and toss him into the field and yes I used a shovel to scoop him up and throw him into the field. So when you say that animals can feel pain yes they can you're right, but animals can also get scared of you, animals are very territorial, and some will kill you. So naturally it's not wrong for an animal to eat another animal nor is it sinful for an animal to do that because animals don't know what sin is they have no concept or knowledge of what that is, so if a duck is getting bitten by a cheetah yes the duck is going to die but also the cheetah knows it's getting food for it's Young. So you got to think on the outside of the box a little bit, Brian May who's a strong animal rights activist said I don't know why people go and kill animals but we kill them not for sport but we kill them for the meat and food, I don't believe the dinosaurs were destroyed by an asteroid I believe that the dinosaurs were killed off by man to eat them and use their skin as pelts and use their meat for food that's why we killed them.
This world is for test.we are undergoing this test and we can realize that where there is test there must be hardship.if everything will be fine then where is the test?
It becomes fine after being so hard the point that it gets hard and how you react to it is the part which is the test, do you choose God's way(keeping good morals, giving charity, turning in him for forgiveness when you think you've wronged others ) or you go ahead against all good
a very simplistic answer to the most complex problem in religion. I would advise you to look into philosophy and at profound nuances in the problem of evil instead of reciting the easiest answer you were told by your local mullah.
@@Yameen200 don't refer to mullah it's logical fact where there is reward there must be struggles.the world is home of problems(Darul kabad) some have less and some have more.
The question is, why should we be tested to begin with? I’ll always be Muslim & believe in Allah but I’m genuinely curious about why we should ever be tested considering we didn’t ask to be created if that makes sense.
@@viiplayer1 assalamualaikum sister , We as humans have been believed to think that our minds are super i mean that we can think everything throught it , but if you observe everything around you you'll see it's abilities have a limit , even the universe has a begining and an end Eg you can lift up 5kgs maybe 50 kgs but can you lift 5000 kgs , No same for machines it might hold 500000 kgs but not in millions,ok almost everything is limited Theferefore the human mind must have a limit and this is also backed by many empirical evidence ie scientific evidence This question arises when we tend to think about this test through our knowledge and experience of this world which is highly limited already and is highly faulty as we make so many errors big and small in our relationships, worklife even daily chores everyday But then we forget that it is us humans who have the highest intellect , we think that if i were God why would i do it , or why would someone do that Secondly humans have a very limited life lets say someone lives for 150 years and has tons of knowledge but even then he can't be an expert on every issue and can't be knowledgeable in all fields of knowledge , So without knowing a lot of things how can someone think that he has reached an intelligence which is higher than his creator It's like cats and cows think that why does this human hushes me away from his house or maybe they might think they are superior than us, but in reality are they? Similarly their are billions of things that we as humans still don't know the answer to even on this planet so what about the infinite universe, Yet man dares to challenge God The answer is there are some things we'll be told in the hereafter If everything was told here then there'd be no test Also we can't do anything about this Believe me I've studied hundreds of philosophies and religions and none of them practically comes near to Islam
I am a big fan of Shabir. However, I always reason with this question by concluding that we are limited in our ability to differentiate net positives and negatives as well as understanding the process of creation. The Qur'an reminds us of two things relevant to this. First is that we inherently lack knowledge and understanding. Second is that we may incorrectly perceive what is good for us vs what is bad for us.
@@kanizfatima3447 then siste answer my single question . What about the children died at an early age say before 10 years . Then how will God grant those children on Jannah or hell and on what basis. Also let me clear you that according to Islam there is no re-birth for any soul in this world.
@@mohammedshamshtamimi5239 all children will go heaven , and children r actually a test for father and mother , once u know and understand that itisnot 1 life and there is judgement day thatis 50000 years then a heaven or hell forever , u will be able to understand the test and so be patient and thankful . But i know and u know that u know the answer , only in need for one extra agnositic beside u .
@@amrasfour1718 brother you didn't understand my question...... Why children will go to jannah......I mean those children will get Jannah in what basis.....those who will go to jahannum will ask na on what basis Allah is providing jannah to those children......why Allah is not testing them.... why Allah is doing partiality among its own creation.... They can say Allah we didn't wanted long life nor those children wanted short life ....Why some are going to heaven without testing.....
@@mohammedshamshtamimi5239 cause they r not full grown human beings mentally and physically ; how come u wanna them be judged on the message or the test that even adults cannot hold or pass ?? Islam is logic .
Qur'an Surah-30, verse 41 - Corruption (evil, suffering) has spread throughout the land and sea as a result of (the evil) which the hands of people have done/earned, and that He(Allah) may let them taste a little part of [the consequence of] what they have done, so that perhaps they may return back [to the right path/God/righteousness]
It's funny and painful at the same time to watch theologists try to answer that question. Since there is no logical answer to it, except that adults shouldn't believe in imaginary friends. God is sitting up there and watching sick children being born and dying, without knowing any happiness, only suffering. To try and justify that is like trying to argue that water is dry.
I found it funny when they tried to justify Covid-19. 2 years later everyone is still partying, not washing our hands, and have gone right back to contributing to climate change in an even worse economy. That’s a net negative. Thanks, God 🤙🏾
Human mind & logic has it’s limitations to comprehend everything that happens in this world. Some questions are best answered by admitting our inability to find answers to every godly intervention & happening in this finite world.
God created us and gave us free will. We are here to live and learn. The experiences we have here help us progress on our journey here and in the after life.
If God is “all knowing” we can’t have free will. We are only living the life God has set for us. An all knowing God also has no need to “test” or to “judge” us, as God being “all knowing” already knows what we will do or how we will perform.
@@jssingha2152 we have free will, an analogy of a teacher and student, the teacher gives the student exam papers, the teacher knows the answer to the questions and also knows the capability of the student, it is up to the student to revise and work hard before the exam and it is the student who answers the question. Likewise this life is a test, God knows our past, present and future he does not dictate our free will, otherwise there will be no responsibility or accountability on our behalf.
@@joyridesham unlike God, the teacher is not “all knowing”. The teacher is making a prediction, based on the students current performance. It’s a best guess. Students have also been known to surprise their teachers with passing their exams even though the teacher thought otherwise. Plus the teacher only knows his performance from when the student attends his class. the teacher will not know from 100 years before the student was born all that the student will do in his class. God knew. Including when the student will be born, how many liters of air, blood etc will be circulating each second, minute, hour, week, month etc in the student all his life. When he will exercise. How many steps he will walk or run in his life. Where, what and how the student will eat all his next meals. Etc etc
@@jssingha2152 yes we cannot compare Gods knowledge and power with a teacher but the principle of this life as a test and Allah knows all are actions and deeds but has given us free will and does but doesnot dictate our free will is similar.
For example as you said excersise and food, God knows how many steps we will take where we will go but he did not dictate we take 100 steps or walk to the park it was our decision, God knows we will eat Macdonalds for lunch at one o,clock but it was our decision to eat a burger and fries at 1 o'clock God did not dictate to us what we will eat at what time, it was totally our decision.
Mam there is lots of difference between suffering and hardships there is nothing called suffering it is more to do with human psychology,when a person feels he is deprived of some thing that he desired he calls it suffering but mind u hardships are part and parcel of every act that we venture into. Hardships enhance the importance of ur achievement.May God bless you all.
Salam Aleykum There is not an ultimate and universal answer to this question that will satisfy everyone because people are different. People do not relate to every „because“. The „because“ must be one that he or she finds compelling rationally, intellectually, and spiritually. I mean to ask why suffer is like asking why are we here? What’s the purpose of creation? By the way, even the angels asked Allah in the second chapter of the Quran the same question regarding the creation of humans. So if the Never sinning, perfect angels can ask this question then certainly we should ask it, too. I thought about it and I think that if you create humans with free will, by definition they must make choices. Otherwise it would be contradictory to the definition of free will when decisions were already made for them. However, free will has certainly consequences. When choices are made they might affect other people in a negative way and cause harm. Because if you have to make a moral decision you might decide in a way that benefits you the most. However, in order to feel for your fellow human beings and to show compassion, it also requires some suffering on your side to at least get and intuition of what pain this Person might is going through. Because the good things and the bad things in life help our personal moral, mental and Spiritual growth. No matter how much you love your pet fish, no matter how often you feed it, the Fish will never be able to relate to you and to develop a real empathic, loving and caring relationship. It might not even realise that you care for it as the fish is such a primitive creature. Now, you might have a dog, and the dogs capacity to give back your love is of course much more developed but still limited to a certain extend. But let’s say u have a child that grows up in front of you, that you support through good times and bad times, that you care for in sickness and that you laugh with in times of joy. The relationship, the love, the compassion, the friendship, the laughs but also the pain, the suffering, the tears, the sadness, the worries and the struggles u both have gone trough is what eventually helps you to develop and grow a bond that is almost impossible to destroy. This life is our personal stage of growth and to grow you must leave your comfort zone which only can happen if things are challenging physically, mentally or spiritually.
First at all, the same question was also once questioned by angel before God want to create adam on earth. He simply replied that He know what angels don't. Then, adam taught by God, and he demonstrated his ability to gain knowledge to angels. The point is, in this world, we have good and evil, and human have the ability to learn something. For example, even in the time of prophet there were slavery existed in society. Then human learn the slavery is a bad thing and the common sense today will agree that slavery is againts human right. That also apply to covid 19, where human can learn from it and try to fight the desease and improve life standard.
The world with no evil which is already created by God is Paradise. In paradise, no one will ever get sick, no one has to work, everything will be provided whatever a person desires, and no one will ever die in paradise and live forever. This world is only a test from God, that's why we have life span in this world to praise God alone and worship him. If u do good in this test/world, you will be grand Paradise. If not, then Hell. May Allah grand us Paradise through his mercy. Allah hu Akbar.
The Title is « Let the Quran speak » but Dr Shabir here does not cite the Quran enough to my liking can we rename the program to « Let the Sheikh Speak »
No offense but Brother Shabir Ally does like to sit on the fence. May Allah bless , he is very knowledgeable however when asked the questions he doesn't get to the point and choose the correct information from an islamic perspective. Just my opinion. He has more knowledge than me that's for sure. Right at the end of the video he mentions the Qur'an. When he should be using the Qur'an and authentic hadith from the start..
Brother he went to theodicy and made an explanation from there. The channel is called let the Qur'an speak. So it should be based on the Quran and Sunnah in my opinion. It was only the last 1-2 minutes he talked about the Quranic perspective. But you are entitled to your opinion.
@@MX4eva ouch what a troll like move you made. You hurt my feelings . Not ! I must value your opinion before I my feelings get hurt. What I will say is if someone has knowledge but then chooses to share some of it only in the last few minutes and spends majority of the video talking about something which isn't relevant to the Quran. That for me is not a good way to share knowledge.
@@thesilverkro Well what about you? Does the Qu'ran say that if anyone is giving their opinion, then quote the Qu'ran first? Or only quote the Qu'ran? You didn't quote the Qu'ran when giving your opinion; it's just your opinion. Ok please quote the Qu'ran to back up your view... Let the Qu'ran speak doesn't mean only quote the Qu'ran.
Excellent explanation, one of was thinking as well. The problem is that if God created the world that we are in now as purely good then it totally negates the freedom of choice that we have. Because then there is no possibility of a drive to compel us towards evil. The issue with this question too is that, when there is goodness in this world, many would think "God has nothing to do with this", and that it is just cause of nature and goodness decision of humankind, but the moment there is an evil, immediately we say "Where is God? ". We blame God, negating the cause of nature and decision of humankind. It is simply the hatred of the premise of believing in God not arguing the premise of law of creation at all. Let's assume that we are all Gods. So when good things happen, yes we exist, we do good. But the moment evil happens, suddenly we don't exist, and we are all evil too? God created this world (a sandbox), and given us a manual, for us to operate. If he interferes with this, in some ways for example in Quran Allah said that if He wishes he could make them all believers, but this is a test for them. This is what he meant, in Quran (67:2): [He] who created death and life to test you [as to] which of you is best in deed - and He is the Exalted in Might, the Forgiving. If he made us all believers and all good, why there is a need of a choice, or judgement who has conducted the best of actions, or even a manual at all? That's why Dr Shabir said the other world that this exists is the world of angels (they don't have the manual or Holy Book) because there are already designed in such a way the predisposition is only good and no evil at all. Now given this establishment, the question is that those who follows the manual, where are they to bring order to the sandbox? Or where are those other human beings (even those who does not follow the manual)? What do they do in this sandbox to stop evil or propagate good? That is why hereafter exists, heaven and hell exist too; to reward those who choose good, and to punish who choose evil. That is why if we look at Surah Mulk (The Dominion) again, (67:8-10) “....Did a warner not come to you?” They will reply, “Yes, a warner did come to us, but we denied and said, ‘Allah has revealed nothing. You are extremely astray.’” And they will lament, “If only we had listened and reasoned, we would not be among the residents of the Blaze!” In this chapter God clearly explain that he created the world perfect, and then he made the animals and other creation perfect for their one or many functions, then He mentioned human, immediately the premise of choice and consequences were introduced. Along that too, the premise of a warner was introduced to indicate that there is someone or groups of His creation that tells us to do something, to make the right choices etc. I think reading the Quran with an open mind and refresh mindset is important. Allah knows best.
Great answer. I was thinking the same. What if there was only good in this world and no evil? Then we would be good by nature like angels. There would have been no free will to choose since there would have been no choice to make! So we can say that evil comes from our free will.

قَالَ رَسُولُ الله ﷺ: عَجَباً لأمْرِ الْمُؤْمِنِ إِنَّ أَمْرَهُ كُلَّهُ لَهُ خَيْرٌ، وَلَيْسَ ذَلِكَ لأِحَدٍ إِلاَّ للْمُؤْمِن: إِنْ أَصَابَتْهُ سَرَّاءُ شَكَرَ فَكَانَ خَيْراً لَهُ، وَإِنْ أَصَابَتْهُ ضَرَّاءُ صَبَرَ فَكَانَ خيْراً لَهُ. رواه مسلم. Approximate translation: Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) said: Strange are the ways of a believer for there is good in every affair of his and this is not the case with anyone else except in the case of a believer for if he has an occasion to feel delight, he thanks (God), thus there is a good for him in it, and if he gets into trouble and shows resignation (and endures it patiently), there is a good for him in it.
I think it would've been good to explain how Muslim theologians explained this matter, using the concept of kasb. I think this traditional answer better explains theodicy and things like covid.
Salaam to everyone I don't know why Allah let's us suffer only he knows best but one thing I must say is if we never ever hade any pain or any suffering we will most probably not appreciate anything if u don't feel pain how can u appreciate bliss for example wen u fall ill and get well u seem to say 0 thanks to God I feel much better subhaanallah tery quadrat ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
MALAY SUBTITLES Part 1 of 3 00:00 - Selamat Datang Membiarkan Al-Quran Bercakap. 00:02 Saya teruja untuk memperkenalkan anda kepada Alex Elvidge, 00:04 penulis utama pasukan kami. 00:06 Alex mempunyai beberapa soalan mengenai Islam, 00:08 jadi kami mengajaknya ke panggung 00:10 untuk meminta mereka kepada Dr. Shabir. 00:11 Inilah yang pertama, mengapa Tuhan yang baik hati 00:14 yang mengasihi kita dan menjaga kita membiarkan penderitaan yang mengerikan 00:16 dan tragedi yang berlaku? 00:18 Inilah Alex dengan Dr. Shabir. 00:20 (desis grafik) 00:21 - Dr. Shabir, terima kasih kerana bersama kami hari ini. 00:23 - Oh kesenangan saya. 00:24 Dan terima kasih kerana menganjurkan. 00:25 - Jadi saya akan mengemukakan soalan yang saya percayai 00:28 banyak orang yang beriman dan tidak percaya 00:30 untuk agama atau kepercayaan apa pun. 00:32 Mengapa Tuhan yang baik hati yang mengasihi kita dan menjaga kita 00:37 membiarkan tragedi dan kejahatan berlaku? 00:40 - Ya, soalan umum ini sangat sukar bagi orang 00:44 iman untuk menjawab, 00:46 dan kadang-kadang ia sebenarnya mendorong orang ke luar 00:49 iman mereka semasa mereka memikirkan masalah itu, 00:52 mereka tidak dapat memberikan jawapan yang munasabah. 00:55 Soalan ini termasuk dalam topik umum teori, 00:58 masalah kejahatan dan bagaimana kita meletakkan penjelasan teologi 01:04 untuk masalah kejahatan? 01:06 Bagaimana kita memberikan penjelasan seperti itu? 01:08 Kita boleh mengatakan bahawa dari perspektif Islam, 01:12 Tuhan akan mencipta dunia jika dunia itu 01:17 mempunyai banyak perkara baik, 01:20 walaupun mungkin ada kejahatan berbanding dengannya, 01:23 termasuk di dalamnya, kadang-kadang kesan sampingan 01:25 mencipta perkara yang baik. 01:27 Oleh itu, izinkan saya meletakkan ini dalam perspektif. 01:29 Katakan pada satu-satu ekstrem kita mempunyai dunia yang mungkin 01:33 yang benar-benar baik. 01:35 Jadi itu benar-benar baik. 01:36 Pasti, Tuhan akan mencipta sesuatu seperti ini 01:38 kerana dia mempunyai kebajikan 01:40 dan dia mahu merealisasikan perkara yang baik. 01:42 Jadi dia akan mencipta dunia yang baik. 01:44 Katakan sesuatu benar-benar jahat. 01:46 Ya, Tuhan tidak akan mencipta itu 01:47 kerana menurut definisi, Tuhan itu baik hati. 01:50 Dia penyayang dan penyayang dalam tradisi Islam. 01:54 Dia tidak akan mencipta sesuatu yang jahat. 01:57 Tetapi katakan ada sesuatu di antara. 01:59 Ada campuran baik dan jahat, 02:00 dan ia boleh menjadi spektrum yang luas. 02:02 Jadi pada suatu ketika, Tuhan akan menarik garis dan berkata, 02:04 "Ini lebih jahat daripada yang baik. 02:05 Saya tidak akan membuatnya. " 02:07 Tetapi kemudian menjadi sedikit kabur 02:09 dan beberapa perkara seperti dunia yang mungkin jelas 02:16 akan mempunyai banyak kebaikan, 02:17 tetapi juga ada kemungkinan kejahatan bersama dengannya. 02:19 Adakah Tuhan akan mencipta dunia seperti itu? 02:21 Nampaknya dunia kita seperti itu 02:23 di mana terdapat banyak kebaikan, 02:26 tetapi ada beberapa kejahatan. 02:27 Sebilangan kejahatan ini jelas merupakan kesan sampingan 02:30 dari perkara-perkara baik yang diciptakan Tuhan 02:32 dan perkara baik yang kita nikmati. 02:34 Dan kejahatan telah datang sebagai komponen yang diperlukan untuk itu. 02:38 Sekarang kita mungkin kembali dan berfikir, "Baiklah, tunggu sebentar 02:41 kerana Tuhan maha berkuasa, 02:42 tidakkah dia dapat menghapuskan kejahatan. " 02:45 Dan jawapannya adalah ya. 02:46 Tetapi kemudian anda bercakap tentang dunia yang sememangnya baik 02:49 dan tidak mempunyai kejahatan, dan mungkin juga Tuhan menciptakannya. 02:52 Dan itu ada di suatu tempat. 02:54 Dan kita boleh memikirkan dunia malaikat. 02:56 Dalam teologi Muslim, malaikat adalah baik. 03:00 Jadi itulah dunia yang diciptakan Tuhan. 03:02 Bukan dunia duniawi kita, tetapi dunia. 03:06 Jadi dunia ini adalah salah satu yang mempunyai 03:09 campuran kebaikan dan kejahatan, dan Tuhan akan mencipta dunia seperti itu 03:12 jika kebaikan di dalamnya sangat banyak. 03:18 - Begitu juga tujuan mewujudkan spektrum kebaikan ini 03:22 dan kejahatan di dunia sehingga kita sebagai manusia dapat belajar 03:27 dari penderitaan yang kita lalui? 03:30 - Itulah salah satu kelebihan kejahatan. 03:34 Tidak semestinya tujuannya. 03:36 Saya tidak dapat memikirkan pemikiran Tuhan, 03:37 "Baiklah, izinkan saya mencambuk mereka sehingga mereka akan belajar 03:40 dari sebatan. " 03:42 Pasti dalam memikirkan dunia 03:46 yang boleh dia buat, 03:47 Tuhan menyedari bahawa inilah dunia yang mungkin. 03:50 Ia akan mempunyai beberapa kejahatan, 03:51 tetapi kemudian kejahatan yang ada di dunia itu 03:55 akan mempunyai beberapa lapisan perak di belakangnya. 03:58 Dengan kata lain, akan ada beberapa aspek yang bermanfaat, 04:01 bahkan kepada kejahatan itu. 04:03 Bukannya kejahatan itu wajar untuk nilai mereka sendiri, 04:09 atau untuk kebaikan yang boleh keluar dari mereka. 04:11 Tetapi kejahatan itu ditoleransi 04:14 kerana sama ada mereka perlu 04:17 atau kerana dalam keadaan apa pun mereka akan membawa kebaikan. 04:20 Oleh itu, mari kita fikirkan hakikat bahawa 04:25 salah seorang anggota masyarakat kami dibunuh di sebuah masjid 04:31 ketika dia menjaga pintu, berusaha menyekat masuk 04:34 mematuhi peraturan untuk membatasi penyebaran COVID-19. 04:40 Saya tidak dapat memikirkan pemikiran Tuhan, 04:45 "Aku akan membunuh lelaki ini, menyebabkan kematian lelaki ini
I appreciate Shabir's point of view, but him going on about vaccines isn't the point. He's trying to say something the interviewer wants to hear. God may have allowed virus to take over but it wasn't "for the better development of vaccines" .... it was so we would put our trust in God over man-made science in these times. He completely missed the mark on that one.
there is always reason why God put Evil on earth. how can we learn and be a good person if there is no evil. People who put moral responsibility first is always see the truth and follow commandment, it will granted happier life too.
The emergence of evil is a consequence of the free will which Allah has given us. The freedom of choice inevitably allows many people to choose evil. But this evil also serves the plan of God because through it He can test the good people and punish the bad.
Thank you for this video very informative brother keep up the good work and highlight the truth now and always will be up to individual's to research by themselves without being biased towards any ideology or may I say religion like always all the best to Muslim and Atheism love from Pakistan
God created pure good ,God taught people this Good has moral values , people neglected the good as consequence they open evil for room . -in abstractive term
I must say I am disappointed in Shabir’s response to the question on suffering. If I were Shabir, I would be sure to quote Deuteronomy as well the book of Job from the Torah. It explains how God disciplines people through suffering. It also helps to build perseverance. The Quran also talks about this in several verses. Once again, I think Shabir could’ve done a better job with his response.
The Quran says that nothing bad comes from God and all bad comes from the deeds of our own hands. This means that every challenge we face isn't really bad for us , it is our reactions to these challenges that make them bad. We react in fear , we react with arrogance , we react with our ego and therefore the challenge gets worse and worse.
While i as a Christian, love and so greatly respect Dr Ally, i still admit that the arguements for evil always leave me alittle empty, its so hard to accept.
God is omniscient and omnipresent so none of us REALLY have free will or freedom. He knows what all of us will do so this still begs the question - why suffering? What is the point in given a child bone cancer? That child has no free will or freedom. And if god created everything he created all the bad including evil people and psychotic individuals. Is it their fault then if they do evil things? He created them after all.
You do know psychological disorders aren't always biological but also environmental? And not only God gave child cancer, he also gave us all the requirements to discover the cure for it.
@@emenjay0077 A teacher gives you a test which is hard to crack, is frustrating and your future depends on it. But the same teacher provides you with all the books and other material to pass the test. Got it?
Our fight is nothing, but the choice that is Wisdom of Good and Wisdom of Evil ... Allah give a superpower to all human that is our self Conscience... Using this superpower choice is all yours "good or evil" ... And according to our choice we will get the results both in Life and life after life...!! may Allah make us strong to win this tug or war.. 🌼🤲
"'problem of evil'' is ''problem of logical thinking'' ( logical thinking only works in case of human reality not in case of god , we don't know the reality of god as long as he said it to us) ..... So , the question of ''problem of evil'' actually generated by the evil by the scope of stupidity of human .
I would say that God have many creations... among those creations there Angels who are created without choice and they only follow God orders and he created humans who have a choice, When you do not have a choice other than doing good such as angels then there is no test for your faith, love and agreement with God orders, but when you have a choice then you are tested in which choices you make, and with a test and choices comes consequences... So, after being expelled from heaven for a bad choice, we humans are sent to earth that we live in as a test with everything happening in it is a set of questions for us... it is a limited time then according to our choices and answers we are securing our place in after life

I recommend the new book God, Evil and Suffering in Islam by Salih Sayilgan (Cambridge University Press, 2023) - A resource written from a Muslim perspective
It really sounds super circular. Like whaaaaaa Dr Ally? I dont understand what he said. He said God wouldnt create evil but something inbetween but it also includes evil so that means it is present so where and why and how did they come to be? I think he shouldve talked about how he doesnt know. Bc what he's saying was like partly true/sensible and the other part as weird. Very Christian perspective about free will not actually fully aligned with quranic perspective actually.
He said everything but the fact is God gave us free will so He becomes like any other parent. He knows what he DESIRES for us. He knows the gifts He placed within us and what we are CAPABLE of…BUT he gave us freeeee WILL! So as we continue to destroy the earth…the natural outcome are a variety of disasters. Slavery, greedy rich people, drug/alcohol abuse, marrying relatives to control the wealth, domestic violence…all of these create domino effects of mental illness, physical impairment etc…and these things MANIFEST as evil. But there’s nothing that is inherently evil. And there is no devil. Your ego is YOUR devil.
This channel name.. "Let the Quran Speak". But for the period of 14min of this video, i didn't hear any verse of the quran be cited or be referenced to answer to this lady. Qala allah qala rasul.. we would like to know what Allah saw say in the quran and what Rasulullah saw said if any in the hadiths. Not the opinion of man. "God maybe", "God probably".. that is the assumption and the opinion from man. What Allah saw say, what Rasulullah saw said.
Tough the story prophet Salamon..king of human, jin, wind and animal..He ask to Allah to cough all iblis@ setan@ jinn..Allah say it waste your time...because some big think will disappear if He cough & tile them....see Translation of Qiuean
Just some addition, calamity isn't only as a reminder for people who transgressed or test for people who believed but also to exposed tyrants of their misconducts as what had happened to tyrants before.
As far as you know this stuff from him or any from Abrahamic religion you will encounter this. But when you will read about Sanatan Dharma or generally known as Hinduism all your ideas will be fade away. You will be left with sheer truth. No evil or devil game. By the grace of God I have read lots of scriptures. What I have come across so far is almost all the scriptures are full of fantasy and all. Please note that I’m not saying they are wrong, but full of fantasy to persuade the people of that time. People need to understand that each and every scripture or even a text has been written according to that time, people, social and ecological norms, education so and so forth. Hence, when you read any book always make sure this stuff. It will help you a lot. After reading many books and scriptures these factors have always been there. Otherwise, how can you relate with those people??!!! What I personally believe is all the books from Abrahamic religions are bound to time. If you are full of questions and also consider to read others scriptures you will find that Abrahamic religion’s scriptures can’t give you an answer of all the questions. I am not trying to pull it down any religion, but this is the fact. The way Bhagwad Gita, Vachnamrut, Tao Te Ching can relate with people of any era or time Abrahamic scriptures can’t. I know most people are not aware of Vachnamrut but it is available on App store and everywhere. It is also available in English if anyone wants to read.
Then God could create all his worlds as the Angel worlds. Why does He need to create a world like us? He could make everything perfect, He could even change chemistry, physics, mathematical laws to make our world perfect, if He is so powerful and compassionate. Why does not He do so? Also how does big evils, one sided assaults, such as large scale genocides serve any purpose on earth? The only conclusion that can come out of this is- 1. God is not all-powerful, OR 2. God is not that compassionate, OR, 3. God does not exist
@@aminahbergliotrolsdorph7557 Allah knows that human can learn something they don't know. Even the angel don't know anything that human can learn taught by God.
Who's to say that Allah swt didn't bring this virus upon mankind because of humanity overstepping boundaries? Our lord revealed certain events to his prophets which they exposed to mankind about what will happen before the almighty God or Allah pass judgement upon mankind. The book of revelation is a book written down about certain events that will happen before the end of time or the day before we really be judged.
Dr. Ali is one of the many philosophers that speculated an answer to this question that was asked and attempted probably millions of times already. He did not quote any scriptures, so I don't know how this answer connects to Islamic wisdom. To me, as another philosopher, it occurs, that the real answer is: "The real answer can't be understood by the physical brain created by god". In other theologies the answer can only be experienced by actually reaching "Moksha" (Hindism), "Nirvana"(Buddhism) or "Entering God's Kingdom" Christianity or "Returning to Allah" (Islam).
I think sheikh should repent. Only god knows . Subxanallah . The world is a test mankind. Simple and easy answer. And the Quran has all the answers 100% . We are taught not to question Allah . He does what he wills. He creates what he wants. He guides who he wants . It's easy for him and says "be and it is"
Allah swt or God made the earth to be a test for his servants. It wasn't meant for humanity to enjoy any pleasures on this planet. But to know hardship or to make out what you can to help your humanity develop so that you could know difference between striving and fulfillment. That's part of the reason why Allah swt or God sent Adam to earth 🌎.. Allah swt sent Adam to earth to understand the folly he made when he followed the whispering of Iblis when Allah swt had already warned Adam about the tree and Iblis. So instead of ultimately punishing Adam for his disobedience, Allah swt or God turned to Adam in mercy but still showing Adam the difference of blessed and the difference between being disobedience.
I think it would be cool to redo this topic sometime and interview people who have been through, or are going through, significant suffering. I think we have a unique view on this. People often ask me how I can believe in Allah despite everything (abuse as a kid, homelessness in my youth, being sick and disabled all my life), so I feel its definitely something people would be keen to watch, and they would learn something from it. Besides, we really should be included when you're talking about us. It'd be like talking about why racism is allowed to exist without including any POC
And as a brief answer from my perspective: I believe it is to test us (just as someone with a lot of wealth may be tested by what they do with that wealth), but also to test others (eg how they treat you, the support they give etc). In addition, it teaches us things. I have learnt and experienced a lot, as well as met some amazing people, that I never would have if I had of been more fortunate with health etc. I'm honestly grateful for those things.
Ok, so abdullah was the servent of which god before islam ? For those who don't understand arabic abd means servent and allah was just explained in this video. The lengths they go to just try to keep their influence and power is just funny, and i speak about all religions not only this one.
Tough question. In an ideal world, we learn to look to one another when suffering occurs. As a species, we still haven’t grasped the importance of living in communion with one another. We are still too self-absorbed, in fact, pathological self-absorption is often rewarded and encouraged. “Survival of the fittest” does not produce compassion, love, cooperation, or symbiosis. It produces bigger and meaner predators who are concerned and feel entitled to one thing……more and they never stop.
Sorry I don’t think he is answering question well.., I think the answer is god create perfect world but it is human who causes the suffering coz they have free will… and all of us will be judged in hereafter and every one will get their justice reward redemption… I think dr zakir naik answer it better
Too much benefits of doubt for God If thats the way we see, We can never ever find.mistakes in God even if he has one So God arguments will win all the time By saying he has a bigger picture
Think!! There is no logic in what he speaks. It's not God who allows us or causes suffering. It's the people who cause the suffering for themselves. God has given the brain and has given good. If a person applies the brain in the right manner he will do and be Good. For his bad deeds if he is suffering - I wonder why we should think that God is testing? God need not test people. People will reap what they sow. There are no side effects or a mixture of good and bad or love. There is only Good what God has created.
From a Christian perspective, God has created all things beautiful and has given us laws. However He has called man to rule the world. We over the years have not obeyed His laws and created our own flawed laws to run the world...we are just facing the consequences. 2. The consequences faced are our doing. We have the power to fix it by going back to the laws of God. 3.A disease has come from man. Let's not blame God for actions of men. Let's turn back to God and His ways.
Why is a woman who is clearly not Muslim, writing for this Muslim program? It’s odd from my viewpoint to see her working for this channel-When she clearly has a either secular mindset or an alternative religious faith.
I have gone through suffering in my life of 60+ years but mine was nothing compared to the pain and torture suffered by others, man or animal. Suffering allows me to be thankful, to feel relief, that my Creator has been specially merciful to me. The suffering of a true believer is nothing like the pain of a non-believing person. This has a special significance in Islam. Only a true Muslim, one who has an undying faith in Allah, can really comprehend suffering. How can one explain the thoughts and worries of some of the companions of Prophet Mohammed (pbuh) when they felt ease in their lives? They worried that perhaps Allah was not with them, that He had given them the easy life of the disbelievers. Suffering, therefore, increases faith and draws one so close to Allah that one can even feel His presence in their lives.
why would God allow suffering? and why not? if you are an idolater you will receive His punishment.. and if you are a murderer the weight of your sin will be judged and your soul will be punished in hell..
I don’t agree with this guy in complicating things it is very simple Allah “ God “ created Suffering and good for a test so he is testing people in this world by both and it’s in the Quran and Hadith.
Most of all .......this world and this life is a test, the greater the love Allah has for a person the more test and tribulations he has to suffer in this world, but God will recompense them with so much in the afterworld that he will ask for more tribulations ,thats why Prophets are the one who are tested the most ...... HE tests us with good also with evil.....!!!
Sulaiman Gran brother Sulaymaniyah Gran, answer it based on Islamic sources. Dr Shamir mentions free will given to humans but not angels, isn’t that from Islamic source?
@@farishatem8103 unlike God, teachers are not all knowing. Teachers predict. There many teachers who have been wrong in the prediction. God can never be wrong. Plus who are we to limit God’s abilities.
He just said something about Allah swt taking away the covid virus which will lead to side effects that Allah swt may have to deal with also . Allah swt is Onipotent there is nothing in the heavens and earth that Allah swt can't effect or cause Allah swt a dilemma in getting rid of if he wants to. That's all Allah swt has to say to a matter be and it is. Nothing is impossible for Allah swt to effect. For all things are subjected to his will.
The primary question why God created us? For worshipping he needs our obidience?no Then why ? To test us? For his paradise? Ok so he has already the knowledge of future why didn't he already created that souls which he knew would prosper and grant them paradise why making this world and a hell and throwing his so called beloved creation majority of them in fire?how kind of mercifull God is this? If disobedience and disbelieving is the reason for going hell will does that affect his divinity?
Dr. Shabir is one of the best persons to explain things, I have learnt a lot over the years. I'm not sure I got the answer to this question of suffering though. Maybe a more focused answer and elaboration specific to this would help, thanks. What I got was the benefits, but I'm not sure I got the answer to the suffering in specific. Why suffering, and is it really fair for the innocent, especially when the innocent didn't even ask to be a part of this evil world. Innocent babies, children etc. I really don't think we can answer this question, but only god.
Allah already mentioned in the Quran that everybody will be given test on earth whether they are rich or poor. However the test given by Allah is not beyond their capacity. If Allah doesn't want to test us, then Allah should have sent us all to straight to heaven instead of sending us all to earth. Reference from Quran below: Quran Al-Baqarah 2:155 - “And We will surely test you with something of fear and hunger and a loss of wealth and lives and fruits, but give good tidings to the patient” Quran Al-Baqarah 2:286 - “Allah does not charge a soul except [with that within] its capacity”
but how can one say if our world has more good or more evil? I personally don't see a world that has just "some amount of evil but is has a much greater amount of good"
Who ever had a double the existings of God Almighty should be fool and ignorant ones, on the other hand God Almighty all he wants from us is to be compassionate to each other and to taking care his beautiful mother earth.

I'm a christian but I love to listen this man. He's a very cultured, intelligent and open-minded person
@Suleiman _38 Thanks for the information. Then Why there is bomb explosion in mosques of Pakistan, Afghanistan etc?
@Suleiman _38 since u said there is no sections in Islam. All religions have sections, But Islam is unique since they kill each other saying we are right. After few years of Mohammed' s death, his all relatives were extinguished from earth because of the rule of kill the one who speak against me.
Killing Muslims in many parts of the world!!!!! Explain me about what is happening in Nigeria, Syria, Pakistan, Egypt, Iran etc. Where is the Christian population there. When Islam in power they kill innocent Christian, Hindu, other religions including Ahmadeeyas by just claiming religious blasphemy. Even some one say Mohammed's sunna from hadees, it become blasphemy if they are not Muslim. Why you speak against China? It's favorite of Imran Khan. China and Pakistan are good brothers.

don't judge a book by the cover. i judged this man before I hear him speak. now, that I've heard him speak in a couple of videos, I'm pretty amazed at how well-spoken he is. and pretty satisfied with all his answers.
Me too.
We should have more of this. It encourages good dialogue and discussion
God created everything in pairs.
If "evil" did not exist, how would we have concept of "good"?
Why dont you watch a video of a cheetah eating a buck and the buck screams in pain. Im sure you would enjoy it. People who defend all the sufferings in the world are either delusional, ignorant of how complex suffering is or plain out psychopathic
@@Yameen200 It seems from your answer that you're at least an agnostic, if not an atheist. Well in your world view, the example that you have given about the cheetah and the buck, there seems to be no evil there, because for the cheetah, it is good that he'll be having his dinner. How do we know that the buck thinks that the cheetah is evil if they both don't work within the basis of morality?
@@Yameen200 I don't agree with that and here's why, yes I am a Christian man however to answer your question I don't want animals to be hurt, but at the same time when I go hunting I'm shooting that duck for a meal to provide for my family and have them eat, I'm not out there just to shoot it to just go out and torture it, I'm out there for meat and to provide food for my family. Or like if I go shoot a deer I'm not there to torture the deer I'm there to go get meat and possibly even a blanket, food warmth meat. Have you ever been to a fish market? If you've been to a fish market you see fish all in a row on ice on shelves, was it wrong for the fisherman to go and fish for that food that people want? No. I'll tell you a quick story, at my Mom and Dad's house we had raccoons eating insulation out of the barn, and there was a raccoon standing out by a tree the one day ready to die, I bring the BB gun out, the creature looks at me I look at it and I shot him. It took me several hits just to have him killed, he didn't die by me shooting him, he died on his own because of the insulation, however I did pick him up and toss him into the field and yes I used a shovel to scoop him up and throw him into the field. So when you say that animals can feel pain yes they can you're right, but animals can also get scared of you, animals are very territorial, and some will kill you. So naturally it's not wrong for an animal to eat another animal nor is it sinful for an animal to do that because animals don't know what sin is they have no concept or knowledge of what that is, so if a duck is getting bitten by a cheetah yes the duck is going to die but also the cheetah knows it's getting food for it's Young. So you got to think on the outside of the box a little bit, Brian May who's a strong animal rights activist said I don't know why people go and kill animals but we kill them not for sport but we kill them for the meat and food, I don't believe the dinosaurs were destroyed by an asteroid I believe that the dinosaurs were killed off by man to eat them and use their skin as pelts and use their meat for food that's why we killed them.

Great arguments, I like your logical and rational answers, thank you so much :-) greetings from Poland :-)
This world is for test.we are undergoing this test and we can realize that where there is test there must be hardship.if everything will be fine then where is the test?
It becomes fine after being so hard the point that it gets hard and how you react to it is the part which is the test, do you choose God's way(keeping good morals, giving charity, turning in him for forgiveness when you think you've wronged others ) or you go ahead against all good
a very simplistic answer to the most complex problem in religion. I would advise you to look into philosophy and at profound nuances in the problem of evil instead of reciting the easiest answer you were told by your local mullah.
@@Yameen200 don't refer to mullah it's logical fact where there is reward there must be struggles.the world is home of problems(Darul kabad) some have less and some have more.
The question is, why should we be tested to begin with? I’ll always be Muslim & believe in Allah but I’m genuinely curious about why we should ever be tested considering we didn’t ask to be created if that makes sense.
@@viiplayer1 assalamualaikum sister , We as humans have been believed to think that our minds are super i mean that we can think everything throught it , but if you observe everything around you you'll see it's abilities have a limit , even the universe has a begining and an end
Eg you can lift up 5kgs maybe 50 kgs but can you lift 5000 kgs , No same for machines it might hold 500000 kgs but not in millions,ok almost everything is limited
Theferefore the human mind must have a limit and this is also backed by many empirical evidence ie scientific evidence
This question arises when we tend to think about this test through our knowledge and experience of this world which is highly limited already and is highly faulty as we make so many errors big and small in our relationships, worklife even daily chores everyday
But then we forget that it is us humans who have the highest intellect , we think that if i were God why would i do it , or why would someone do that
Secondly humans have a very limited life lets say someone lives for 150 years and has tons of knowledge but even then he can't be an expert on every issue and can't be knowledgeable in all fields of knowledge ,
So without knowing a lot of things how can someone think that he has reached an intelligence which is higher than his creator
It's like cats and cows think that why does this human hushes me away from his house or maybe they might think they are superior than us, but in reality are they?
Similarly their are billions of things that we as humans still don't know the answer to even on this planet so what about the infinite universe,
Yet man dares to challenge God
The answer is there are some things we'll be told in the hereafter
If everything was told here then there'd be no test
Also we can't do anything about this
Believe me I've studied hundreds of philosophies and religions and none of them practically comes near to Islam
I am a big fan of Shabir. However, I always reason with this question by concluding that we are limited in our ability to differentiate net positives and negatives as well as understanding the process of creation. The Qur'an reminds us of two things relevant to this. First is that we inherently lack knowledge and understanding. Second is that we may incorrectly perceive what is good for us vs what is bad for us.

@@kanizfatima3447 then siste answer my single question . What about the children died at an early age say before 10 years . Then how will God grant those children on Jannah or hell and on what basis. Also let me clear you that according to Islam there is no re-birth for any soul in this world.

They can say Allah we didn't wanted long life nor those children wanted short life ....Why some are going to heaven without testing.....
@@mohammedshamshtamimi5239 cause they r not full grown human beings mentally and physically ; how come u wanna them be judged on the message or the test that even adults cannot hold or pass ?? Islam is logic .
Qur'an Surah-30, verse 41 - Corruption (evil, suffering) has spread throughout the land and sea as a result of (the evil) which the hands of people have done/earned, and that He(Allah) may let them taste a little part of [the consequence of] what they have done, so that perhaps they may return back [to the right path/God/righteousness]
It's funny and painful at the same time to watch theologists try to answer that question. Since there is no logical answer to it, except that adults shouldn't believe in imaginary friends. God is sitting up there and watching sick children being born and dying, without knowing any happiness, only suffering. To try and justify that is like trying to argue that water is dry.
I found it funny when they tried to justify Covid-19. 2 years later everyone is still partying, not washing our hands, and have gone right back to contributing to climate change in an even worse economy. That’s a net negative. Thanks, God 🤙🏾

Human mind & logic has it’s limitations to comprehend everything that happens in this world. Some questions are best answered by admitting our inability to find answers to every godly intervention & happening in this finite world.
God created us and gave us free will. We are here to live and learn. The experiences we have here help us progress on our journey here and in the after life.
If God is “all knowing” we can’t have free will. We are only living the life God has set for us.
An all knowing God also has no need to “test” or to “judge” us, as God being “all knowing” already knows what we will do or how we will perform.
@@jssingha2152 we have free will, an analogy of a teacher and student, the teacher gives the student exam papers, the teacher knows the answer to the questions and also knows the capability of the student, it is up to the student to revise and work hard before the exam and it is the student who answers the question. Likewise this life is a test, God knows our past, present and future he does not dictate our free will, otherwise there will be no responsibility or accountability on our behalf.
@@joyridesham unlike God, the teacher is not “all knowing”. The teacher is making a prediction, based on the students current performance. It’s a best guess. Students have also been known to surprise their teachers with passing their exams even though the teacher thought otherwise.
Plus the teacher only knows his performance from when the student attends his class. the teacher will not know from 100 years before the student was born all that the student will do in his class. God knew.
Including when the student will be born, how many liters of air, blood etc will be circulating each second, minute, hour, week, month etc in the student all his life. When he will exercise. How many steps he will walk or run in his life. Where, what and how the student will eat all his next meals. Etc etc
@@jssingha2152 yes we cannot compare Gods knowledge and power with a teacher but the principle of this life as a test and Allah knows all are actions and deeds but has given us free will and does but doesnot dictate our free will is similar.
For example as you said excersise and food, God knows how many steps we will take where we will go but he did not dictate we take 100 steps or walk to the park it was our decision, God knows we will eat Macdonalds for lunch at one o,clock but it was our decision to eat a burger and fries at 1 o'clock God did not dictate to us what we will eat at what time, it was totally our decision.
Monotheist Religions:God exists,what does He want from me.??
Natural Law religions:Suffering Exists,how do I escape it.
Very deep.
You can replace Natural law religion with atheism. I don't see any contradiction between my religion (Islam) and science but the opposite.
Mam there is lots of difference between suffering and hardships there is nothing called suffering it is more to do with human psychology,when a person feels he is deprived of some thing that he desired he calls it suffering but mind u hardships are part and parcel of every act that we venture into. Hardships enhance the importance of ur achievement.May God bless you all.

Salam Aleykum
There is not an ultimate and universal answer to this question that will satisfy everyone because people are different. People do not relate to every „because“.
The „because“ must be one that he or she finds compelling rationally, intellectually, and spiritually.
I mean to ask why suffer is like asking why are we here? What’s the purpose of creation? By the way, even the angels asked Allah in the second chapter of the Quran the same question regarding the creation of humans.
So if the Never sinning, perfect angels can ask this question then certainly we should ask it, too.
I thought about it and I think that if you create humans with free will, by definition they must make choices. Otherwise it would be contradictory to the definition of free will when decisions were already made for them.
However, free will has certainly consequences. When choices are made they might affect other people in a negative way and cause harm. Because if you have to make a moral decision you might decide in a way that benefits you the most. However, in order to feel for your fellow human beings and to show compassion, it also requires some suffering on your side to at least get and intuition of what pain this Person might is going through.
Because the good things and the bad things in life help our personal moral, mental and Spiritual growth.
No matter how much you love your pet fish, no matter how often you feed it, the Fish will never be able to relate to you and to develop a real empathic, loving and caring relationship. It might not even realise that you care for it as the fish is such a primitive creature.
Now, you might have a dog, and the dogs capacity to give back your love is of course much more developed but still limited to a certain extend.
But let’s say u have a child that grows up in front of you, that you support through good times and bad times, that you care for in sickness and that you laugh with in times of joy. The relationship, the love, the compassion, the friendship, the laughs but also the pain, the suffering, the tears, the sadness, the worries and the struggles u both have gone trough is what eventually helps you to develop and grow a bond that is almost impossible to destroy. This life is our personal stage of growth and to grow you must leave your comfort zone which only can happen if things are challenging physically, mentally or spiritually.
ahh the soul growth theodicy. Heres the problem. Not everybody goes through these sufferings that make tgem grow spiritually. Some are so privileged.
First at all, the same question was also once questioned by angel before God want to create adam on earth. He simply replied that He know what angels don't. Then, adam taught by God, and he demonstrated his ability to gain knowledge to angels. The point is, in this world, we have good and evil, and human have the ability to learn something. For example, even in the time of prophet there were slavery existed in society. Then human learn the slavery is a bad thing and the common sense today will agree that slavery is againts human right. That also apply to covid 19, where human can learn from it and try to fight the desease and improve life standard.
Great respect and love for Shabir Ally. May God bless him and keep him in best of health
Aameen

The world with no evil which is already created by God is Paradise. In paradise, no one will ever get sick, no one has to work, everything will be provided whatever a person desires, and no one will ever die in paradise and live forever. This world is only a test from God, that's why we have life span in this world to praise God alone and worship him. If u do good in this test/world, you will be grand Paradise. If not, then Hell. May Allah grand us Paradise through his mercy.
Allah hu Akbar.

The Title is « Let the Quran speak » but Dr Shabir here does not cite the Quran enough to my liking can we rename the program to « Let the Sheikh Speak »
We'd advise you to think beyond the literal/concrete.
DR. Shabir and Mohammad Hijab are the coolest Muslims, tbh
@Suleiman _38 i believe in you
No offense but Brother Shabir Ally does like to sit on the fence. May Allah bless , he is very knowledgeable however when asked the questions he doesn't get to the point and choose the correct information from an islamic perspective. Just my opinion. He has more knowledge than me that's for sure. Right at the end of the video he mentions the Qur'an. When he should be using the Qur'an and authentic hadith from the start..
If someone is intellectually honest they HAVE to admit that the problem of suffering is extemely complex problem. No answer is satisfactory.
Brother he went to theodicy and made an explanation from there. The channel is called let the Qur'an speak. So it should be based on the Quran and Sunnah in my opinion. It was only the last 1-2 minutes he talked about the Quranic perspective. But you are entitled to your opinion.
"He has more knowledge than me for sure ", is the strongest point you made.
@@MX4eva ouch what a troll like move you made. You hurt my feelings . Not ! I must value your opinion before I my feelings get hurt. What I will say is if someone has knowledge but then chooses to share some of it only in the last few minutes and spends majority of the video talking about something which isn't relevant to the Quran. That for me is not a good way to share knowledge.
@@thesilverkro Well what about you? Does the Qu'ran say that if anyone is giving their opinion, then quote the Qu'ran first? Or only quote the Qu'ran? You didn't quote the Qu'ran when giving your opinion; it's just your opinion.
Ok please quote the Qu'ran to back up your view...
Let the Qu'ran speak doesn't mean only quote the Qu'ran.
Excellent explanation, one of was thinking as well. The problem is that if God created the world that we are in now as purely good then it totally negates the freedom of choice that we have. Because then there is no possibility of a drive to compel us towards evil. The issue with this question too is that, when there is goodness in this world, many would think "God has nothing to do with this", and that it is just cause of nature and goodness decision of humankind, but the moment there is an evil, immediately we say "Where is God? ". We blame God, negating the cause of nature and decision of humankind. It is simply the hatred of the premise of believing in God not arguing the premise of law of creation at all.
Let's assume that we are all Gods. So when good things happen, yes we exist, we do good. But the moment evil happens, suddenly we don't exist, and we are all evil too? God created this world (a sandbox), and given us a manual, for us to operate. If he interferes with this, in some ways for example in Quran Allah said that if He wishes he could make them all believers, but this is a test for them. This is what he meant, in Quran (67:2): [He] who created death and life to test you [as to] which of you is best in deed - and He is the Exalted in Might, the Forgiving.
If he made us all believers and all good, why there is a need of a choice, or judgement who has conducted the best of actions, or even a manual at all? That's why Dr Shabir said the other world that this exists is the world of angels (they don't have the manual or Holy Book) because there are already designed in such a way the predisposition is only good and no evil at all. Now given this establishment, the question is that those who follows the manual, where are they to bring order to the sandbox? Or where are those other human beings (even those who does not follow the manual)? What do they do in this sandbox to stop evil or propagate good? That is why hereafter exists, heaven and hell exist too; to reward those who choose good, and to punish who choose evil.
That is why if we look at Surah Mulk (The Dominion) again, (67:8-10) “....Did a warner not come to you?” They will reply, “Yes, a warner did come to us, but we denied and said, ‘Allah has revealed nothing. You are extremely astray.’” And they will lament, “If only we had listened and reasoned, we would not be among the residents of the Blaze!” In this chapter God clearly explain that he created the world perfect, and then he made the animals and other creation perfect for their one or many functions, then He mentioned human, immediately the premise of choice and consequences were introduced. Along that too, the premise of a warner was introduced to indicate that there is someone or groups of His creation that tells us to do something, to make the right choices etc. I think reading the Quran with an open mind and refresh mindset is important. Allah knows best.
Great answer. I was thinking the same. What if there was only good in this world and no evil? Then we would be good by nature like angels. There would have been no free will to choose since there would have been no choice to make! So we can say that evil comes from our free will.
then brother answer my single question . What about the children died at an early age say before 10 years . Then how will God grant those children on Jannah or hell and on what basis. Also let me clear you that according to Islam there is no re-birth for any soul in this world.

Oh. Dr Please stopping making excuses.
قَالَ رَسُولُ الله ﷺ: عَجَباً لأمْرِ الْمُؤْمِنِ إِنَّ أَمْرَهُ كُلَّهُ لَهُ خَيْرٌ، وَلَيْسَ ذَلِكَ لأِحَدٍ إِلاَّ للْمُؤْمِن: إِنْ أَصَابَتْهُ سَرَّاءُ شَكَرَ فَكَانَ خَيْراً لَهُ، وَإِنْ أَصَابَتْهُ ضَرَّاءُ صَبَرَ فَكَانَ خيْراً لَهُ. رواه مسلم.
Approximate translation:
Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) said: Strange are the ways of a believer for there is good in every affair of his and this is not the case with anyone else except in the case of a believer for if he has an occasion to feel delight, he thanks (God), thus there is a good for him in it, and if he gets into trouble and shows resignation (and endures it patiently), there is a good for him in it.
Man this was uploaded just a few minutes ago, crazy, hey guys😁
I think it would've been good to explain how Muslim theologians explained this matter, using the concept of kasb. I think this traditional answer better explains theodicy and things like covid.
In simple terms this life is a test wether you believe it or not and the utopia we want is the results of our deeds being judged in the herafter
Salaam to everyone I don't know why Allah let's us suffer only he knows best but one thing I must say is if we never ever hade any pain or any suffering we will most probably not appreciate anything if u don't feel pain how can u appreciate bliss for example wen u fall ill and get well u seem to say 0 thanks to God I feel much better subhaanallah tery quadrat ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
MALAY SUBTITLES Part 1 of 3
00:00
- Selamat Datang Membiarkan Al-Quran Bercakap.
00:02
Saya teruja untuk memperkenalkan anda kepada Alex Elvidge,
00:04
penulis utama pasukan kami.
00:06
Alex mempunyai beberapa soalan mengenai Islam,
00:08
jadi kami mengajaknya ke panggung
00:10
untuk meminta mereka kepada Dr. Shabir.
00:11
Inilah yang pertama, mengapa Tuhan yang baik hati
00:14
yang mengasihi kita dan menjaga kita membiarkan penderitaan yang mengerikan
00:16
dan tragedi yang berlaku?
00:18
Inilah Alex dengan Dr. Shabir.
00:20
(desis grafik)
00:21
- Dr. Shabir, terima kasih kerana bersama kami hari ini.
00:23
- Oh kesenangan saya.
00:24
Dan terima kasih kerana menganjurkan.
00:25
- Jadi saya akan mengemukakan soalan yang saya percayai
00:28
banyak orang yang beriman dan tidak percaya
00:30
untuk agama atau kepercayaan apa pun.
00:32
Mengapa Tuhan yang baik hati yang mengasihi kita dan menjaga kita
00:37
membiarkan tragedi dan kejahatan berlaku?
00:40
- Ya, soalan umum ini sangat sukar bagi orang
00:44
iman untuk menjawab,
00:46
dan kadang-kadang ia sebenarnya mendorong orang ke luar
00:49
iman mereka semasa mereka memikirkan masalah itu,
00:52
mereka tidak dapat memberikan jawapan yang munasabah.
00:55
Soalan ini termasuk dalam topik umum teori,
00:58
masalah kejahatan dan bagaimana kita meletakkan penjelasan teologi
01:04
untuk masalah kejahatan?
01:06
Bagaimana kita memberikan penjelasan seperti itu?
01:08
Kita boleh mengatakan bahawa dari perspektif Islam,
01:12
Tuhan akan mencipta dunia jika dunia itu
01:17
mempunyai banyak perkara baik,
01:20
walaupun mungkin ada kejahatan berbanding dengannya,
01:23
termasuk di dalamnya, kadang-kadang kesan sampingan
01:25
mencipta perkara yang baik.
01:27
Oleh itu, izinkan saya meletakkan ini dalam perspektif.
01:29
Katakan pada satu-satu ekstrem kita mempunyai dunia yang mungkin
01:33
yang benar-benar baik.
01:35
Jadi itu benar-benar baik.
01:36
Pasti, Tuhan akan mencipta sesuatu seperti ini
01:38
kerana dia mempunyai kebajikan
01:40
dan dia mahu merealisasikan perkara yang baik.
01:42
Jadi dia akan mencipta dunia yang baik.
01:44
Katakan sesuatu benar-benar jahat.
01:46
Ya, Tuhan tidak akan mencipta itu
01:47
kerana menurut definisi, Tuhan itu baik hati.
01:50
Dia penyayang dan penyayang dalam tradisi Islam.
01:54
Dia tidak akan mencipta sesuatu yang jahat.
01:57
Tetapi katakan ada sesuatu di antara.
01:59
Ada campuran baik dan jahat,
02:00
dan ia boleh menjadi spektrum yang luas.
02:02
Jadi pada suatu ketika, Tuhan akan menarik garis dan berkata,
02:04
"Ini lebih jahat daripada yang baik.
02:05
Saya tidak akan membuatnya. "
02:07
Tetapi kemudian menjadi sedikit kabur
02:09
dan beberapa perkara seperti dunia yang mungkin jelas
02:16
akan mempunyai banyak kebaikan,
02:17
tetapi juga ada kemungkinan kejahatan bersama dengannya.
02:19
Adakah Tuhan akan mencipta dunia seperti itu?
02:21
Nampaknya dunia kita seperti itu
02:23
di mana terdapat banyak kebaikan,
02:26
tetapi ada beberapa kejahatan.
02:27
Sebilangan kejahatan ini jelas merupakan kesan sampingan
02:30
dari perkara-perkara baik yang diciptakan Tuhan
02:32
dan perkara baik yang kita nikmati.
02:34
Dan kejahatan telah datang sebagai komponen yang diperlukan untuk itu.
02:38
Sekarang kita mungkin kembali dan berfikir, "Baiklah, tunggu sebentar
02:41
kerana Tuhan maha berkuasa,
02:42
tidakkah dia dapat menghapuskan kejahatan. "
02:45
Dan jawapannya adalah ya.
02:46
Tetapi kemudian anda bercakap tentang dunia yang sememangnya baik
02:49
dan tidak mempunyai kejahatan, dan mungkin juga Tuhan menciptakannya.
02:52
Dan itu ada di suatu tempat.
02:54
Dan kita boleh memikirkan dunia malaikat.
02:56
Dalam teologi Muslim, malaikat adalah baik.
03:00
Jadi itulah dunia yang diciptakan Tuhan.
03:02
Bukan dunia duniawi kita, tetapi dunia.
03:06
Jadi dunia ini adalah salah satu yang mempunyai
03:09
campuran kebaikan dan kejahatan, dan Tuhan akan mencipta dunia seperti itu
03:12
jika kebaikan di dalamnya sangat banyak.
03:18
- Begitu juga tujuan mewujudkan spektrum kebaikan ini
03:22
dan kejahatan di dunia sehingga kita sebagai manusia dapat belajar
03:27
dari penderitaan yang kita lalui?
03:30
- Itulah salah satu kelebihan kejahatan.
03:34
Tidak semestinya tujuannya.
03:36
Saya tidak dapat memikirkan pemikiran Tuhan,
03:37
"Baiklah, izinkan saya mencambuk mereka sehingga mereka akan belajar
03:40
dari sebatan. "
03:42
Pasti dalam memikirkan dunia
03:46
yang boleh dia buat,
03:47
Tuhan menyedari bahawa inilah dunia yang mungkin.
03:50
Ia akan mempunyai beberapa kejahatan,
03:51
tetapi kemudian kejahatan yang ada di dunia itu
03:55
akan mempunyai beberapa lapisan perak di belakangnya.
03:58
Dengan kata lain, akan ada beberapa aspek yang bermanfaat,
04:01
bahkan kepada kejahatan itu.
04:03
Bukannya kejahatan itu wajar untuk nilai mereka sendiri,
04:09
atau untuk kebaikan yang boleh keluar dari mereka.
04:11
Tetapi kejahatan itu ditoleransi
04:14
kerana sama ada mereka perlu
04:17
atau kerana dalam keadaan apa pun mereka akan membawa kebaikan.
04:20
Oleh itu, mari kita fikirkan hakikat bahawa
04:25
salah seorang anggota masyarakat kami dibunuh di sebuah masjid
04:31
ketika dia menjaga pintu, berusaha menyekat masuk
04:34
mematuhi peraturan untuk membatasi penyebaran COVID-19.
04:40
Saya tidak dapat memikirkan pemikiran Tuhan,
04:45
"Aku akan membunuh lelaki ini, menyebabkan kematian lelaki ini
I appreciate Shabir's point of view, but him going on about vaccines isn't the point. He's trying to say something the interviewer wants to hear. God may have allowed virus to take over but it wasn't "for the better development of vaccines" .... it was so we would put our trust in God over man-made science in these times. He completely missed the mark on that one.
there is always reason why God put Evil on earth. how can we learn and be a good person if there is no evil. People who put moral responsibility first is always see the truth and follow commandment, it will granted happier life too.
What is suffering. The suffering of skipping a meal that God tests us or the suffering that humans inflict upon humans
The emergence of evil is a consequence of the free will which Allah has given us. The freedom of choice inevitably allows many people to choose evil. But this evil also serves the plan of God because through it He can test the good people and punish the bad.
Thank you for this video very informative brother keep up the good work and highlight the truth now and always will be up to individual's to research by themselves without being biased towards any ideology or may I say religion like always all the best to Muslim and Atheism love from Pakistan
Your new moons and fixed seasons
Fill me with loathing;
The Prophet Isaiah (1:14)
Tanakh (Hebrew scriptures)
God created pure good ,God taught people this Good has moral values , people neglected the good as consequence they open evil for room .
-in abstractive term
I must say I am disappointed in Shabir’s response to the question on suffering. If I were Shabir, I would be sure to quote Deuteronomy as well the book of Job from the Torah. It explains how God disciplines people through suffering. It also helps to build perseverance. The Quran also talks about this in several verses. Once again, I think Shabir could’ve done a better job with his response.
The Quran says that nothing bad comes from God and all bad comes from the deeds of our own hands. This means that every challenge we face isn't really bad for us , it is our reactions to these challenges that make them bad. We react in fear , we react with arrogance , we react with our ego and therefore the challenge gets worse and worse.
While i as a Christian, love and so greatly respect Dr Ally, i still admit that the arguements for evil always leave me alittle empty, its so hard to accept.
Mashallah brilliant answers ♥️♥️♥️♥️
Bottom line is that we should not distance from our the God almighty and always includes in our remembrance.
Exodus 34:13 (Torah)
No, you must tear down their altars, smash their pillars, and cut down their sacred posts.
Thank you Alex and Dr Shabir.... a great Q&A session. Bless you both
God is omniscient and omnipresent so none of us REALLY have free will or freedom. He knows what all of us will do so this still begs the question - why suffering? What is the point in given a child bone cancer? That child has no free will or freedom. And if god created everything he created all the bad including evil people and psychotic individuals.
Is it their fault then if they do evil things? He created them after all.
You do know psychological disorders aren't always biological but also environmental? And not only God gave child cancer, he also gave us all the requirements to discover the cure for it.
@@AK-mf1bo science gave us the cure for cancer -
So are you saying that god gave us cancer do we could find a cure for cancer???
🤦🏾
@@emenjay0077 A teacher gives you a test which is hard to crack, is frustrating and your future depends on it. But the same teacher provides you with all the books and other material to pass the test. Got it?
Once the Evil transcends, God sends disease as a sign of Warning. Civilizations of Lut AS and others were destroyed on the pretext.
Our fight is nothing, but the choice that is Wisdom of Good and Wisdom of Evil ... Allah give a superpower to all human that is our self Conscience... Using this superpower choice is all yours "good or evil" ... And according to our choice we will get the results both in Life and life after life...!! may Allah make us strong to win this tug or war.. 🌼🤲
Asc Dr Shabir I would really appreciate it if you could answer the questions simplest, coz you are making her confuse.
"'problem of evil'' is ''problem of logical thinking''
( logical thinking only works in case of human reality not in case of god , we don't know the reality of god as long as he said it to us) .....
So , the question of ''problem of evil'' actually generated by the evil by the scope of stupidity of human .
I would say that God have many creations... among those creations there Angels who are created without choice and they only follow God orders and he created humans who have a choice,
When you do not have a choice other than doing good such as angels then there is no test for your faith, love and agreement with God orders, but when you have a choice then you are tested in which choices you make, and with a test and choices comes consequences...
So, after being expelled from heaven for a bad choice, we humans are sent to earth that we live in as a test with everything happening in it is a set of questions for us... it is a limited time then according to our choices and answers we are securing our place in after life
It's wild. The pandemic was awful for everyone. And because of it Doctors are starting to find treatments for MECFS, a disease that I have, for the first time. It's deep stuff
I recommend the new book God, Evil and Suffering in Islam by Salih Sayilgan (Cambridge University Press, 2023) - A resource written from a Muslim perspective
Masha,Allah Sheikh Shabbir Ally is a great Sheikh who is educated and eloquent
It really sounds super circular. Like whaaaaaa Dr Ally? I dont understand what he said. He said God wouldnt create evil but something inbetween but it also includes evil so that means it is present so where and why and how did they come to be? I think he shouldve talked about how he doesnt know. Bc what he's saying was like partly true/sensible and the other part as weird. Very Christian perspective about free will not actually fully aligned with quranic perspective actually.
I think the point is, she didnt ask Dr Shabir just to get answer in christian perspective, but to learn what the quranic perspective.
He said everything but the fact is God gave us free will so He becomes like any other parent. He knows what he DESIRES for us. He knows the gifts He placed within us and what we are CAPABLE of…BUT he gave us freeeee WILL! So as we continue to destroy the earth…the natural outcome are a variety of disasters. Slavery, greedy rich people, drug/alcohol abuse, marrying relatives to control the wealth, domestic violence…all of these create domino effects of mental illness, physical impairment etc…and these things MANIFEST as evil. But there’s nothing that is inherently evil. And there is no devil. Your ego is YOUR devil.
PEOPLE really just want to be please even God they wAnt to question on his wisdom. God gives you free will to differentiate between RIGHT and wrong.
This channel name.. "Let the Quran Speak". But for the period of 14min of this video, i didn't hear any verse of the quran be cited or be referenced to answer to this lady.
Qala allah qala rasul.. we would like to know what Allah saw say in the quran and what Rasulullah saw said if any in the hadiths. Not the opinion of man. "God maybe", "God probably".. that is the assumption and the opinion from man. What Allah saw say, what Rasulullah saw said.
Tough the story prophet Salamon..king of human, jin, wind and animal..He ask to Allah to cough all iblis@ setan@ jinn..Allah say it waste your time...because some big think will disappear if He cough & tile them....see Translation of Qiuean
Just some addition, calamity isn't only as a reminder for people who transgressed or test for people who believed but also to exposed tyrants of their misconducts as what had happened to tyrants before.
As far as you know this stuff from him or any from Abrahamic religion you will encounter this. But when you will read about Sanatan Dharma or generally known as Hinduism all your ideas will be fade away. You will be left with sheer truth. No evil or devil game. By the grace of God I have read lots of scriptures. What I have come across so far is almost all the scriptures are full of fantasy and all. Please note that I’m not saying they are wrong, but full of fantasy to persuade the people of that time. People need to understand that each and every scripture or even a text has been written according to that time, people, social and ecological norms, education so and so forth. Hence, when you read any book always make sure this stuff. It will help you a lot. After reading many books and scriptures these factors have always been there. Otherwise, how can you relate with those people??!!! What I personally believe is all the books from Abrahamic religions are bound to time. If you are full of questions and also consider to read others scriptures you will find that Abrahamic religion’s scriptures can’t give you an answer of all the questions. I am not trying to pull it down any religion, but this is the fact. The way Bhagwad Gita, Vachnamrut, Tao Te Ching can relate with people of any era or time Abrahamic scriptures can’t. I know most people are not aware of Vachnamrut but it is available on App store and everywhere. It is also available in English if anyone wants to read.
Then God could create all his worlds as the Angel worlds. Why does He need to create a world like us? He could make everything perfect, He could even change chemistry, physics, mathematical laws to make our world perfect, if He is so powerful and compassionate. Why does not He do so?
Also how does big evils, one sided assaults, such as large scale genocides serve any purpose on earth?
The only conclusion that can come out of this is-
1. God is not all-powerful, OR
2. God is not that compassionate, OR,
3. God does not exist
سلام عليكم..
The Angels Ask Allah the same Question..
Simplest answer.
And Allah Say :
I Know العليم..
You don't..
Quran!!
@@aminahbergliotrolsdorph7557 Allah knows that human can learn something they don't know. Even the angel don't know anything that human can learn taught by God.
Who's to say that Allah swt didn't bring this virus upon mankind because of humanity overstepping boundaries? Our lord revealed certain events to his prophets which they exposed to mankind about what will happen before the almighty God or Allah pass judgement upon mankind. The book of revelation is a book written down about certain events that will happen before the end of time or the day before we really be judged.
Don't forget Iblis and Syaitan..that always influencing humans to do evils...
Dr. Ali is one of the many philosophers that speculated an answer to this question that was asked and attempted probably millions of times already. He did not quote any scriptures, so I don't know how this answer connects to Islamic wisdom. To me, as another philosopher, it occurs, that the real answer is: "The real answer can't be understood by the physical brain created by god". In other theologies the answer can only be experienced by actually reaching "Moksha" (Hindism), "Nirvana"(Buddhism) or "Entering God's Kingdom" Christianity or "Returning to Allah" (Islam).
I think sheikh should repent. Only god knows . Subxanallah . The world is a test mankind. Simple and easy answer. And the Quran has all the answers 100% . We are taught not to question Allah . He does what he wills. He creates what he wants. He guides who he wants . It's easy for him and says "be and it is"
why won't we ask God this..? He is listening... watching.. close enough to respond.. each one will have a difference.
Allah swt or God made the earth to be a test for his servants. It wasn't meant for humanity to enjoy any pleasures on this planet. But to know hardship or to make out what you can to help your humanity develop so that you could know difference between striving and fulfillment. That's part of the reason why Allah swt or God sent Adam to earth 🌎.. Allah swt sent Adam to earth to understand the folly he made when he followed the whispering of Iblis when Allah swt had already warned Adam about the tree and Iblis. So instead of ultimately punishing Adam for his disobedience, Allah swt or God turned to Adam in mercy but still showing Adam the difference of blessed and the difference between being disobedience.
I think it would be cool to redo this topic sometime and interview people who have been through, or are going through, significant suffering. I think we have a unique view on this. People often ask me how I can believe in Allah despite everything (abuse as a kid, homelessness in my youth, being sick and disabled all my life), so I feel its definitely something people would be keen to watch, and they would learn something from it. Besides, we really should be included when you're talking about us. It'd be like talking about why racism is allowed to exist without including any POC
And as a brief answer from my perspective: I believe it is to test us (just as someone with a lot of wealth may be tested by what they do with that wealth), but also to test others (eg how they treat you, the support they give etc). In addition, it teaches us things. I have learnt and experienced a lot, as well as met some amazing people, that I never would have if I had of been more fortunate with health etc. I'm honestly grateful for those things.
How can you reconcile the existence of hell espeically when unbelievers are sent to it with a merciful God?
Ok, so abdullah was the servent of which god before islam ? For those who don't understand arabic abd means servent and allah was just explained in this video.
The lengths they go to just try to keep their influence and power is just funny, and i speak about all religions not only this one.
Tough question. In an ideal world, we learn to look to one another when suffering occurs. As a species, we still haven’t grasped the importance of living in communion with one another. We are still too self-absorbed, in fact, pathological self-absorption is often rewarded and encouraged. “Survival of the fittest” does not produce compassion, love, cooperation, or symbiosis. It produces bigger and meaner predators who are concerned and feel entitled to one thing……more and they never stop.
Sorry I don’t think he is answering question well.., I think the answer is god create perfect world but it is human who causes the suffering coz they have free will… and all of us will be judged in hereafter and every one will get their justice reward redemption… I think dr zakir naik answer it better
Too much benefits of doubt for God
If thats the way we see,
We can never ever find.mistakes in God even if he has one
So God arguments will win all the time
By saying he has a bigger picture
Think!! There is no logic in what he speaks. It's not God who allows us or causes suffering. It's the people who cause the suffering for themselves. God has given the brain and has given good. If a person applies the brain in the right manner he will do and be Good. For his bad deeds if he is suffering - I wonder why we should think that God is testing?
God need not test people. People will reap what they sow. There are no side effects or a mixture of good and bad or love. There is only Good what God has created.
Thank you doctor Ally.May Allah increase your knowledge.
From a Christian perspective, God has created all things beautiful and has given us laws. However He has called man to rule the world. We over the years have not obeyed His laws and created our own flawed laws to run the world...we are just facing the consequences.
2. The consequences faced are our doing. We have the power to fix it by going back to the laws of God.
3.A disease has come from man. Let's not blame God for actions of men.
Let's turn back to God and His ways.
How would one examine the presence of serial killers and psychopaths??? This question has been gnawing at me for some time.. anyone ?
Why is a woman who is clearly not Muslim, writing for this Muslim program? It’s odd from my viewpoint to see her working for this channel-When she clearly has a either secular mindset or an alternative religious faith.
I have gone through suffering in my life of 60+ years but mine was nothing compared to the pain and torture suffered by others, man or animal.
Suffering allows me to be thankful, to feel relief, that my Creator has been specially merciful to me. The suffering of a true believer is nothing like the pain of a non-believing person. This has a special significance in Islam. Only a true Muslim, one who has an undying faith in Allah, can really comprehend suffering.
How can one explain the thoughts and worries of some of the companions of Prophet Mohammed (pbuh) when they felt ease in their lives? They worried that perhaps Allah was not with them, that He had given them the easy life of the disbelievers. Suffering, therefore, increases faith and draws one so close to Allah that one can even feel His presence in their lives.
Jazakallahu khair... This can be understood and explained clearly if dealt metaphysically .Answer is in that
Sorry , Answer is unsatisfactory
Many children and baby dies
Many painful calamities
why would God allow suffering? and why not? if you are an idolater you will receive His punishment.. and if you are a murderer the weight of your sin will be judged and your soul will be punished in hell..
I don’t agree with this guy in complicating things it is very simple Allah “ God “ created Suffering and good for a test so he is testing people in this world by both and it’s in the Quran and Hadith.
Most of all .......this world and this life is a test, the greater the love Allah has for a person the more test and tribulations he has to suffer in this world, but God will recompense them with so much in the afterworld that he will ask for more tribulations ,thats why Prophets are the one who are tested the most ...... HE tests us with good also with evil.....!!!
One word, wisdom

That's all Allah swt has to say to a matter be and it is. Nothing is impossible for Allah swt to effect. For all things are subjected to his will.

Then why ?
To test us? For his paradise?
Ok so he has already the knowledge of future why didn't he already created that souls which he knew would prosper and grant them paradise why making this world and a hell and throwing his so called beloved creation majority of them in fire?how kind of mercifull God is this?
If disobedience and disbelieving is the reason for going hell will does that affect his divinity?
Dr. Shabir is one of the best persons to explain things, I have learnt a lot over the years. I'm not sure I got the answer to this question of suffering though. Maybe a more focused answer and elaboration specific to this would help, thanks. What I got was the benefits, but I'm not sure I got the answer to the suffering in specific. Why suffering, and is it really fair for the innocent, especially when the innocent didn't even ask to be a part of this evil world. Innocent babies, children etc.
I really don't think we can answer this question, but only god.
Allah already mentioned in the Quran that everybody will be given test on earth whether they are rich or poor. However the test given by Allah is not beyond their capacity. If Allah doesn't want to test us, then Allah should have sent us all to straight to heaven instead of sending us all to earth. Reference from Quran below:
Quran Al-Baqarah 2:155 - “And We will surely test you with something of fear and hunger and a loss of wealth and lives and fruits, but give good tidings to the patient”
Quran Al-Baqarah 2:286 - “Allah does not charge a soul except [with that within] its capacity”
but how can one say if our world has more good or more evil? I personally don't see a world that has just "some amount of evil but is has a much greater amount of good"
Please make more videos like this. Very helpful
because we’re all being tested in a way or another. it’s just as simple as that. period.

Ma sha Allah tabark Allah :)
Who ever had a double the existings of God Almighty should be fool and ignorant ones, on the other hand God Almighty all he wants from us is to be compassionate to each other and to taking care his beautiful mother earth.
Remember, there is a Devil too.. The book has been written and it explains everything.
If you would not obey the laws of God you will punished up whether with wealth/suffering .
What about earth quakes and other natural disasters? Doesn't God control nature???
