If God exists, why do bad things happen? If you have ever asked these questions, you are not alone. The same questions have been asked in all its permutations for all of human history. 

The Quran, the final revelation from God to mankind, transforms this problem in a revolutionary way. Pearls in the Deep will take you on an eye-opening journey to find pearls within the difficulties and tragedies of existence. This book offers a comprehensive examination of evil, tragedy, calamities, and difficulties, by taking inspiration from the Quran, film, literature, and the rich Islamic tradition, and particularly the thought of Said Nursi. Using compelling arguments and practical, relatable examples, this book will leave You with a renewed faith and increased conviction that our world is fundamentally good and that evil exists for a greater wisdom related to the purpose of your existence.

Once we understand why difficulties exist, the problem of evil vanishes. We're left instead to re-evaluate our own assumptions about reality and come to terms with the goodness of the world and its Creator.
