Mas'alah-yi qarīnah-ī shar-i bī'vajh: Persian 1402

The problem of evil is an argument that has been raised mainly by atheists against theism. Atheists argue that the evil in the world is proof that the God that the Abrahamic religions - Judaism, Christianity, and Islam - claim does not exist; Because if the God of these religions, who has the three attributes of absolute power, absolute knowledge, and absolute goodness, existed, he would be aware of the occurrence of evil with his boundless knowledge, and pure benevolence would force him to take action to eliminate them. On the other hand, because the power of such a god is absolute, it would be possible for him to remove evil. So, if the God of Abrahamic religions existed, the world should be free of evil. Among the various formulations of evil's argument, William Rowe's relative argument is one of the most important formulations. The relational problem of evil is contrary to the logical problem of evil, which wants to show that the existence of evil is decisive proof of the existence of God. It has a more modest claim. The existence of evil is a reason that makes atheism more reasonable than belief in God. and the author tries to show that although Ro's argument generally fails and cannot be considered a decisive argument against theism, from another point of view it can be a justification for the atheist's atheism.
