Okay, could you please explain the problem of evil? All right, the
problem of evil is another popular one, like natural disasters
hitting poor countries and babies getting cancer, etc. Like what
they have done to receive such calamities. Right.
All right.
The first answer to this question is there's a big difference when
tragedy and evil. tragedy is something bad that happens where
nobody's guilty. Evil is something bad that happens which was
intended.
Evil only exists in the realm of human beings. Evil is tied to
freewill. There is no evil amongst birds. There's tragedies. A bird
maybe ate another bird, right? Or an egg fell off of a tree. That's
a tragedy is no one's fault. Right? The if someone thinks that
animals eating other animals is evil, right, no. Nor is it even a
tragedy because animals left on their own without any cycle of
animals eating other animals, right? Without any food chain, or
food web would be a far worse evil. There'll be no room for
humans, okay? There will be no room the population of the Earth
would be there'll be no room, okay? It would lead to a worse
evil. So let's set that aside tragedies versus evil.
In all the creation of Allah let's say you're asking as a Muslim Now,
given all the beliefs that we have about the universe, we'll take
that as a given in all the creation of Allah Where is evil,
evil is relegated in the slowest abode, the smallest abode amongst
only two
species, I guess you could call them are creations in that a boat
and into Elgin.
And those two creation are also the two creation that have
freewill that have been tested with the MN
in autumnal Amanda data similar to a lot of the LGBT for Albania,
Mindanao was rocking them in our Hamad Al in Zen.
What can encircle the lumen Jolla, which means that Allah azza wa jal
offered this trust this amount of what is the trust, the trust is to
obey Allah willingly?
To have the choice to do evil or good. And we accepted it.
And the gin accepted it. Okay.
Let's leave leave aside the gin right now because we don't exist
with them on a daily basis. Theoretically, they're amongst us
in terms in terms of having free will. Malaria can have often but
no free will to do evil. They have free will, within the good. So
they can ask questions. They can go and look at what's happening.
They can move around, they're not robots, okay? They have free will.
But there is no option for them to do evil. They have no show of no
visa no desire. Okay, no greed, no lust, none of these problems, no
arrogance. So they have intellect but no free will human beings have
intellect and freewill. How can you have free will? How can you
truly judge whether or not someone chose to obey Allah and to love
Him from himself? Okay? If he did not have options, so we must have
options in order to fulfill the greatest level of creation, which
is to obey Allah, O Allah,
by our own free will, to come to him by our own free will. What is
the greatest thing in the creation of Allah azza wa jal is willful
belief and obedience and love of Allah subhanaw taala. This is the
greatest thing in creation, how are you going to manifest it? How
are you going to activate that? actualize that when you only have
one choice to begin with? So no, you have to be given two choices.
You have to be what they now nudge Dane, you have to be given two
possible choices,
the good and the evil, you have to be given the good and evil.
Furthermore,
if the good and the evil is so clear, like would you rather eat
this beautiful chicken right here that's cooked and roasted? Or
would you rather eat this pile of mud? Well, obviously, at that
point, there's no real just choice either. So the choices have to be
made closer. And in fact, the more closer and the more almost
opposite. The choices appear, the greater you are as a human being
and making the right choices. So the more difficult and hard. The
choice of Amen is, the greater the reward, and the more tempting and
beautiful and easy disobedience becomes.
Right and you avoid it, the greater the reward, so much so
that the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam came back with his
Sahaba on one of the battles. And once a hobby, they were just sort
of tending to their wounds, and then food was brought, and they
all ate it
Good, while they're injured and tired, and someone made the
comment and said, Is there any goal ever going to be a people
greater than us? We fought with the Messenger of Allah and died
for him and got injured for him. Okay, and struggled with him. And
the province I sent them became upset. And he said, and why
wouldn't you fight and die when you have a prophet walking amongst
you? Rather, there will come a people who see nothing but my name
between the bonds of a book. And yet they believe
when the prophets I said them then says, Well, I am a Luffy hinda.
And then he talks about those those times of trials and
tribulations that will come up on people. And he says, and I am in
Luffy him piano in those days, the one who's taking action amongst
them, right. Now, he will come seen
the Sahaba said, 50, he has the reward of 5050 Of who 50 of us or
50 of them. He says Barry Minkow, he has the reward of 50 Sahaba,
the one who's acting in a day in which the evil looks so good, it
looks like it makes so much sense. It looks like it has so much
scientific evidence behind it. All right, the falsehood, the shadow
watch, temptations are so easy, no one's going to bother you, no
one's going to stop you. In fact, you'll be encouraged. In fact, if
you don't do engage in the show, if people think you're odd, you're
abusive, right? Today, if you don't allow your teenage daughter
to go have * with a man, you're like an abusive father, there
might be a day someday where they could take your kid away from you
if you don't let her go and have * with who she wants to write or
who he wants to. Okay, there might take her get away. That's what
we're headed to. So in those eras in those times, that is right when
the tests and the reward is at its climax, its height, its apex,
right? It can't get you cannot express your love and your true
belief any more than this. As the prophesy centum said when some
Sahaba complaints, they said, Mata Nasir Allah and when is the
look what is happening? When is the sub? When is the alleviation
going to come from all this difficulty we're facing from
Kadesh Prophet peace be upon him said and what about the people
before you, one of them was two of them would be brought, one of them
would be thrown into a vat of oil. Okay. And still his companion
would be told you're going in that vat of hot boiling oil, right. And
he just disappears into that VAT and his companion sold, you're
going next. And he says, I still won't trade in my religion.
Another one prophesy Center said they would take combs like a rake,
like one of those thick rakes, put it in oil, in boiling oil or in
fire until it was read, like a comb, right, like something with
teeth. And then it would be dug into the back of a believer and
pulled down all his flesh would come out until you could see his
bones and his muscles and his nerves and everything and he would
die of exposure and pain.
They would say to the man who's watching it, you see that you're
next. And he said still I won't give up my religion.
So when how much more you can't express your love anymore than
when the temptation and the falsehood looks so good. And the
truth. Okay, looks so difficult and hard. Right? So the question
of evil is the answer in some is that evil is not rampant in the
universe. It only exists with the Hulk that has an MN freewill so
that their test and their achievement could have any
meaning. I mean, just take another example. There was a time in
Germany, Kaiser Wilhelm, where they used to have tests the army
so they used to test the army in these fake battles, right now, one
of these guys the Kaiser Wilhelm he's for World War World War One.
His approach he was so silly that he ordered okay, this is these are
tests right like test driving, test driving your army make sure
you armies any good. So you have a fake army doing ambushes and
everything. Now, Kaiser Wilhelm was so superficial in his mind, he
was like a fool, that he ordered that the royal army, which is the
real army has to be declared victorious and has to win all of
these games, war games and war experiments and war tests. Right?
I mean, how petty can you get? Well, how do we know that your
army is any good? If there's no real competition in front of it?
Imagine what happens when you realize that games are fixed.
boxing matches are fixed, where there wasn't a real opponent in
front of you. Right?
Then you get stripped of your belt, you get stripped of your
championship, you didn't earn it. So likewise, if we want to
earn anything, there has to be a real enemy and a real evil in
front of us. Right? So if you actually pondered evil properly,
you would realize that without evil human beings could never
attain ranks. Right? Without tragedy, we could not attain
ranks. If there was nobody hungry. Where's the generosity gonna come
from? If there was no evil? Where was courage come from? Okay, if
there was no sickness, where would mercy and pity come from? If there
was no weakness? Where did where would compassion come from? Okay,
if there was no difference between people, where would humility come
from? Right? Humility is when you are if you're up here, the next
person is down here. You have every opportunity to put him down,
but you actually bring yourself down and talk as equals. That's
humility. Okay, how are you going to have humility if you don't have
rich and poor? How are you going to have patience if you don't have
poverty, right? So we don't justify and hope for these bad
things, but we know the wisdom behind them. Okay. As for us, we
try to eliminate poverty, but if we can't, then we understand the
divine wisdom. Okay.
All
right.
