The argument from evil is one of the most overused arguments. I think it's not a particularly convincing argument because it really only applies to modern Christianity. I don't even think that early Christians considered their god to be all good. As frequently as this argument is made it is always directed towards the Christian God. It made me wonder and I genuinely don't know, but does mainstream Muslim thought consider Allah to be Omnibenevolent. I know there are several passages in the Qu'ran which call him all powerful and all just but is he ever considered to be all good? Is the argument from evil applicable to Islam?
