In the tradition of Islamic philosophy, Mulla Sadra, as one of the mystical philosophers, and in Western philosophical thought, Alvin Plantinga, as a theistic philosopher, have both explored the problem of evil with distinct foundations and solutions. Mulla Sadra’s primary basis lies in the existence of essence, and his solutions adhere to the model of the non-existence of evil and its being contingently willed. Plantinga, on the other hand, seeks to demonstrate the non-contradiction of the logical problem of evil in light of God’s absolute power by using possible worlds and the relationship between human free will and divine omnipotence. These two thinkers share common ground in their belief in God as knowledgeable, powerful, and benevolent, but they differ in their approach to inherent sinfulness, defense of theodicy, and overcoming logical challenges. The objective of this article is not merely to explain and compare the intellectual foundations and solutions of Mulla Sadra and Plantinga regarding the problem of evil; rather, it aims to critically examine their premises and proposed solutions, ultimately presenting a comparative approach to resolving the problem of evil. The research methodology employed in this study is fundamentally theoretical and rational, analyzing the arguments of both philosophers and providing a comparative assessment.
