Comparative Studding the Goodness Attribute of God in Almizan and Augustine’s City of God

Allameh Tabataba’i and Saint Augustine are greatest philosophers of Islam and Christianity who have studied and researched the problem of evil and its correlation with good attribute of God and their profound and precise viewpoints were same at so many aspects and also opposed at some of them. We will study the sights of these two thinkers about the good attribute of God in this research. The good attribute of god is searchable in three ways:

1-The good attribute of God in response to problem of evil. 2- The goodness of God in point of God’s attribute. 3- Meaning of goodness of God in religious language. As both thinkers’ visions the existence of evil in universe is true matter. In fact and naturally both of them analysed and studied this as non-existent matter. Allameh believes the evil is opposite of the goodness and describe the goodness as choice, so he presents evil, Makrouh. Augustine presents the meaning of evil in most ways as sin. In explaining of correlation of goodness and evil, Allameh believes, the goodness is existent matter and evil is non-existent, and naturally placed goodness as favourable one and evil as unfavourable one. Whereas. Augustine says God is pure perfection and the evil is non-existent matter, thus he divide the way of conflict of existence of evils and existence of God and his super attribute depending to type of evils, to formalities and developmental.Augustine believes that God owns all attributes of perfection in the relations of God’ attribute with existence of evil. In his opinion there no evil in universe and evil naturally are non-existent.
