دور البلايا في درء الغفلة و تعلم العبرة و التأديب و إحياء الدين

Abstract EN

In the face of pervasive disasters, a variety of approaches are taken to discover the cause.

in this research, we have dealt with this issue taking an approach from the inside of religion.

one of the issues that has always occupied the human mind is the existence of things that are not pleasing to man, but on the other hand, cannot be separated from his life.

in analyzing the existential philosophy of this evil, it is necessary to see that what is the criteria of religion itself towards them ? taking a look at the religious texts, we come to the conclusion that : first : in some cases, we misunderstand them in a wrong way which is we consider some events evil while they are not.

in fact, they are the result of human ignorance, man poor performance, partiality, the necessity of the natural world.

second : is this evil primary or disciplinary evil ? if this evil is primary and without purpose, it is incompatible with god's wisdom and justice.

in the primary evils, there are benefits such as : erasing negligence, flourishing of talents, the revival of the remembrance of god, etc., and if it is to discipline, the awakening from the sleep of negligence, the reduction of the punishment of the hereafter, the removal of the rust of cruelty from the heart, and so on.

therefore, in the definition of evil, one should not have a view of delivery and rationality.

this article also suggests a way to analyze religion-related issues with the teachings of religion itself ; misunderstanding religious issues will have many negative consequences and it even may lead man to the abyss of disbelief (atheism) or determinism.
