Examination of the General Approach to the Problem of Evil according to the View of Famous Muslim Philosophers

Farabi was the first person to consider this issue based on an explanation of the approach of Muslim philosophers to the issue of evil.  He distinguishes between natural and voluntary evils. Ibn Sina had a nonexistence approach to the issue of evil, which dealt with this issue in detail in various aspects after Farabi. This approach has often been considered for later philosophers such as Suhrawardi, Sadr al-Muta'allehin, and Allameh Tabatabai, Shahid Motahari, Ayatollah Javadi Amoli, and Ayatollah Mesbah after Ibn Sina.  We get results, by using a descriptive and sometimes analytical method, that Islamic philosophers express a combined solution to the problem of evil in this study. They consider evil to be a non-existent and relative thing that is necessary for the material world. They believe that according to the wisdom of God Almighty in creating a good system of existence, evils are few compared to the many good things in this world, and these evils have many benefits in the world.
