We just see "good" as "pure" because God chose it. If God chose evil; evil would've been the attractive concept for us.
After all; we can see this in nature. Some animals live on causing misery to humans; to us it is misery; to them it is joy and life.
God made our scope prefer what is known as "good". If he wanted; he would've made us enjoy "evil" at birth; and become evil by birth.
The above is my personal theory and personal belief based on the Quran alone.
This is a very interesting view to me. Largely because it's so different from the ones I've studied before.
First, I admit to knowing nothing at all about the Quran, so if you have the time to show us some of the writing that leads you to your view, I'd enjoy seeing it.
Second, if God creates evil, I wonder about the long-term view of things. For example, some people might say that the evil is in the world to lead, in the end, to greater good. This is a view you sometime see among Christians (e.g. Milton) that the Fall from Eden was a necessary evil for bringing about the eventual fulfillment of human's potential.
If that's true, then when we perceive God as doing evil, it is his way of indirectly doing good, or something like that. Is this a formula that's available in Islam?
