Overview

Why Evil Exists Muhammad Taha Alam Why does evil exist? For centuries, this question has haunted humanity, sparking debates among theologians, philosophers, and skeptics. Is evil a flaw in the cosmos, a test from God, or an inevitable force of nature? In this groundbreaking and provocative work, Muhammad Taha Alam offers a radical answer: evil is neither divine nor natural-it is a uniquely human invention. Through a sweeping exploration of history, philosophy, psychology, and modern life, Why Evil Exists argues that evil arises from humanity's extraordinary gift - and curse - of imagination. Unlike animals, bound by instinct, humans create abstractions, systems, and fictions that outstrip the natural order. From slavery to genocide, from ideologies to bureaucracies, evil is born not of necessity but of the human capacity to imagine, abstract, and dominate. Alam takes readers on a journey through the architecture of alienation, the seduction of abstractions, and the machinery of systemic harm, revealing how modern life amplifies our estrangement from nature, empathy, and immediacy. Yet, this is not a book of despair. It is a call to action - a plea to ""reroot"" ourselves in the rhythms of life, to tether imagination to empathy, and to reclaim the moral grounding we have lost. Brilliantly argued and deeply thought-provoking, Why Evil Exists is a bold reimagining of one of humanity's oldest questions. It challenges us to confront the shadow of our own imagination and offers a path toward a more compassionate and grounded existence. For anyone seeking to understand the origins of suffering - and how we might overcome it - this book is essential reading. Prepare to see evil, and humanity, in a whole new light.
