Abstract :

The existence of evil has been a problem for worshipers for centuries. It seems difficult to believe that the world, with its large number of evil creatures and under the absolute control of the supreme good, the omnipotent, the omniscient. The importance of the worldview regarding evil is such that it is seen as one of the most important and prominent themes, not only in theological, philosophical and theological texts, but also in literary texts. In this article, after brief references to the answers given to the problem of evil, the authors deal with the examples of the problem of evil in Sanae'i Hadiqat Al- Haqiqa by descriptive-analytical method. Hakim Sanaei is a follower of Ash'ari-Maturidi in terms of doctrinal and theological principles and has thought about it in this field of thought. The conclusion obtained from this research indicates that Sanaei agrees with the divine sages on the issue of evil and rejects evil in general. According to his system of thought, the divine will is pure good, and this principle is one of the most basic foundations of his worldview, and he has spoken about it in different interpretations.
