This article analyzes the criticisms of the duality of Sanawi and Majusi theological and ethical components comprised by Qadi Abd al-Jabbar, a prominent figure in Mutazila Theology in an integrated methodology. The subject is based on the question which has created hot discussions: “Can we talk about evil and good, neither of which could be degraded to one another in the universe?” In theological context, Qadi Abd al-Jabbar, strove to put forward that duality cannot be defended depending on universe; from ethical point of view, however, he based his ideas on the fact that both we may not talk about a good and evil relationship which cannot be degraded to one another. Thus, it must be comprehended in such a way that, considering the historical context from which it arose, this, seemingly, has developed as a comparison between the consequence of rational theology and mythological theology deprived of internal consistency
