Masla-e-Shar: Wo Sab Se Purana Sawal Jo Har Dil Se Poocha Jata Hai

Duniya ke tamam falsafiyana sawalon mein se aik sawal aisa hai jise kabhi update ki zaroorat nahi pari. Is ke liye na physics chahiye, na archaeology, na kisi qadeem matan ki taftish. Is ke liye sirf itna chahiye ke aap duniya ko imandari se dekhein — aur phir apne dil se poochein ke jo dekha hai, us ka matlab kya hai.

Epicurus ne yeh sawal chauthi sadi qabl-e-Maseeh mein poocha tha, aur David Hume ke kirdar Philo ne ise Dialogues Concerning Natural Religion (1779) mein dohraya: "Kya woh burai ko rokna chahta hai magar rok nahi sakta? To phir woh qadir nahi. Kya woh rok sakta hai magar rokna nahi chahta? To phir woh meharban kaise? Aur agar woh chahta bhi hai aur rok bhi sakta hai — to phir burai aati kahan se hai?"

Teis sadiyan guzar chuki hain. Falsafa aaj bhi ise "the problem of evil" — masla-e-shar — kehta hai. Aur yeh aaj bhi wahi sawal hai jo sochne wale munkir sab se pehle pesh karte hain, aur jis se sochne wale momin sab se zyada raat ke pichle pehar mein larte hain. Main yahan kisi ka faisla sunane nahi baitha. Main sirf yeh chahta hoon ke hum is sawal ko us ki poori taqat ke saath dekhein — aur phir har jawab ko bhi us ki poori taqat ke saath.
