Thank you Jabberwockymp for sharing your thoughts! You highlight a profound dilemma regarding the existence of evil and suffering in the world and addressing these injustices. This question—why a benevolent God would allow evil—has been debated by scholars and believers alike throughout history.

From an Islamic perspective, one could argue that the existence of challenges and suffering serves a greater purpose, such as testing our character, fostering empathy, and encouraging compassion among individuals. It raises deep questions about free will, accountability, and the ultimate purpose of our lives.

While I understand your call for a world free from what you perceive as superstition, it's important to acknowledge that many people find profound meaning, purpose, and moral guidance through their faith, which can lead to positive actions and societal advancement.

I invite you to explore these themes further in my article, "Why Did God Create Evil?" In it, I delve into the philosophical and theological discussions surrounding the existence of evil and suffering from an Islamic perspective. I believe it will provide valuable insights that can enrich our conversation.
