Pearls in the Deep: How the Quran Transforms the Problem of Evil - Hardcover

How can I worship God when He has seemingly created a world with suffering?
If you have ever asked these questions, you are not alone. The same questions have been asked in all its permutations for all of human history.

The Qur’an, the final revelation from God to mankind, transforms this problem in a revolutionary way.

"Pearls in the Deep," will take you on an eye-opening journey to find the pearls behind the apparent tragedies of existence. This book offers a comprehensive examination of evil, tragedy, calamities, and difficulties, by taking inspiration from the Qur’an, film, literature, and the rich Islamic tradition, and particularly the thought of Said Nursi.

Through captivating character studies from works like "Avatar: The Last Airbender", Shakespeare, and the films of Akira Kurosawa, Naz explores profound concepts in Islamic theology. With its compelling arguments and practical examples, this book will deepen your conviction that our world is fundamentally good and that evil serves a greater purpose.

By the end of "Pearls in the Deep," you will not only understand why difficulties exist but also gain an intermediate understanding of key Islamic theological concepts. The problem of evil will vanish, replaced by a renewed perspective on the goodness of the world and its Creator.
