The Wisdom in the Creation of Evil

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
What is the wisdom in the creation of evil?

Answer:
The wisdom in the creation of evil is like the wisdom in the creation of bitter medicine. Why was this bitter medicine created, given that it is bitter? Because Allah decreed that this bitter substance would be a medicine used to treat certain diseases. It is said that a king, one of the arrogant kings, saw a beetle walking and said, "Why did You create this?" Allah then intended to afflict him with an illness that the doctors of the world were unable to cure. A doctor came to him and said, "This will not be cured unless you bring a beetle, burn it, and sprinkle its ash on this affected area." He was compelled to bring the beetle, burn it, and sprinkle it on his body, and Allah healed him. Yes.
