Gereksiz ve Anlamsız Kötülüklere Bir Açıklama Olarak İvaz Teorisi

Abstract

The evidential arguments from evil present some of the most compelling challenges to theism. Among these arguments, the ones centered around gratuitous and pointless evils are particularly significant. Edward H. Madden and Peter Hare formulated an argument on gratuitous evil, while William Rowe advanced arguments on pointless evil. Although Madden and Hare proposed their argument in the sixties and Rowe in the seventies, there is a theory within Islamic thought that can shed light on the concept of gratuitous and pointless evil. The theory I propose to elucidate these types of evil is the theory of ivaz (compensation). In this article, I will delve into how the theory of ivaz can explain gratuitous and pointless evils.
