Quote:By the way, I understand that Allah "permits" evil, however, what I was getting at is... DOES ALLAH "CAUSE" EVIL? I think this is an area where Islam & Catholicism clash... & many Muslims it seems
Yes, maybe Catholics will disagree on this point, but the Bible will always say sometihng else!!
<b>Isaiah 45:7 </b>
I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, <b>and create evil</b>: I the LORD do all these things."
Before you jump to interpret the verse the way that suite your Church’s beliefs, I would like to explain my understanding regarding this topic and I hope my brothers and sisters correct me if I was wrong…
In Islam God did create Satan as good until <b>“he choose with his free will” pride/evil</b>, and I guess this is exactly the interpretation of the verse above, which means God did created Satan, but He was not responsible for his evil deeds.
