Abstract

Thinkers justified the problem of evil in two kinds: 1- As logical problem of evil 2- As evidential problem of evil. In former type , the chief question is the controversy between evil and religious propositions and based on incompatiblist view , while in the latter, the existence of evil in the world is considered as contravention against the belief of God or loose and flaw in religious claimes. In the second type there is not any disclaiming on consistency or incompatible, whereas none-acceptable of religious beliefs is the main question. Mawlavi in masnavi illumines the best world and ultimate harmony theories. He displays not only the insignificant or excessive of evil but also the moral and natural evil and accepts them. Nevertheless his construing is on the basis of assesment of incompatibilist theory by "the higher good" view and "the prefect or aesthetics" view in natural evils.Mawlavi displays that there is not incompatible between God and evil.
