Humanity has been exposed to various troubles and calamities throughout history. The most recent example of this is the COVID-19 epidemic that emerged in China in December 2019. In the face of this epidemic, which caused humanity to fear and panic with its deadly character, people faced the objective reality of death. Millions of people who were caught in the epidemic, lost their relatives due to the epidemic, and became unemployed were exposed to psychological traumas such as helplessness, anxiety and fear. Undoubtedly, this period of depression is not unique to our day. It is known that humanity has been exposed to various epidemic diseases throughout history. In the Qurʾān, attention is drawn to this situation, and it is stated that in every period of history, people have been tried with various calamities. Sunni scholars have also made explanations about how people should interpret calamities based on these data of the Qurʾān. In this context, the Ash’arites did not consider it necessary to have a certain wisdom or purpose in calamities in order not to limit or deficiencies in Allah’s absolute will and power, and they accepted everything that exists in the world, whether good or bad, as good because Allah preferred and created it. Maturidis, on the other hand, took a more balanced way than the Ash’aris and considered it necessary to find wisdom and purpose in divine actions. In this article, the views of Sunni scholars on the subject will be determined. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
