Problem of evil solved

I must say that I find those people who try to confine God into one defintion as irrational because how can God be confined to one word or description? It's like getting the Television to define a man. The TV cannot describe what it cannot understand.

So those people who say God is one thing are lowering the majesty of God according to their minds.

In Islam, we describe God as he describes himself and we do not describe God according to the limits of our imagination. God is not love according to the Islamic belief and this in itself solves the problem of evil question. Al-Wadud means the one has given believers permanet friendship. If God had described himself as love then he would've said Al-Hubb which he did not.

There are people who have commited grave wrongs against other people and have not punished for them and the day of judgement is the day that they will get their due. That is the day that the judge of all judges will manifest his justice. That day is the day of judgement and that day when God/Allah will judge.

New International Version (©1984)
But I tell you that men will have to give account on the day of judgment for every careless word they have spoken.
Mathew 12:36
