Abstract
The logical inconsistency between the good, powerful, knowledgeable God and the existence of evil in the world constitutes the starting point of the problem of evil. Based on this problem, there are those who try to prove the non-existence of God, and there are also those who try to prove his wickedness or weakness, not his absence. Some theists try to answer them. These answers are attempts to solve the problem of evil in favor of theism, the term of which is theodicy. Muhammad Iqbal, as a Muslim thinker, also dealt with the problem of evil and proposed a solution in this regard that puts the freedom of beings in the foreground. In doing so, he made an original change to the theistic design of god. With this change, the god of theism can no longer be described as de facto but as potentially omnipotent.
