This paper briefly tries to deal with the analyses and evaluations of al-Ghazali and Richard Swinburne about natural and moral evils. According to al-Ghazali, everything which God apportions to man is pure right, with no wrong in it. They are the most perfect and the best possible [decisions] and there is no way to act better and more adequately. al-Ghazali does not argue that our world is the best world God was able to create, but simply that the omnipotence of God has established for this universe the most perfect possible rules of functioning, even if He would have been able to produce infinitely different worlds. Richard Swinburne attempts to explain how evil can exist in a world created by an omniscient, omnipotent, omnibenevolent Being, namely God. Swinburne uses the free-will defense and argues that God provides us with a choice of doing good and of evil UR - https://dergipark.org.tr/tr/pub/harranilahiyatdergisi/issue//276415 L1 - https://dergipark.org.tr/tr/download/article-file/257609 ER -
