I suppose I have two questions. What are Islamic views on the soul and the problem of evil?
In regards to the soul, where does it come from? Does Allah (SWT) create a new soul every at every conception? Wikipedia does not say much about it. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soul#Islam
Also, the problem of evil is a philosophical question which asks why there is evil in the world if God is omnipotent and omnibenevolent. Does evil exist to test humanity? Wikipedia does not say much about Islamic views on this either. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Problem_of_evil#Islam
