Episode Synopsis
We learned from our readings last week that all the good that occurs in the world is attributable wholly to Allah. This week, we ask whether any of the evil that occurs in the world is also attributable to Allah. We learn that nothing that Allah creates - none of the physical events He causes - are actually evil. Certain physical events may appear evil, but are in fact merely 'apparently' evil. They are evil only from our mistaken and self-centred perspective - a perspective that fails to take into account the various instances of good that Allah achieves through them. We learn that the only time 'real' evil occurs in the world is when we limited, free-willed beings misuse our free will.
Based on the Second Point of Bediuzzaman Said Nursi's Eighteenth Word.
