In the article reveals some confessional narratives about the place of man as a divine viceroy and the main purpose of the entire act of creation. The introduction reveals the relevance of understanding the dialectics of good and evil for theory and practice and effective intercultural and interfaith dialogue. Historical-philosophical, specific-historical, cultural and dialectical methodology are used as the main analytical tools. The focus is on the issues of good and evil, and the various ways in which they are dialectically related in different religious and philosophical concept. It is shown that Islam does not subscribe to the extremes of theodicy, anti-theodicy, nihilism and privaсionism, as it recognizes the divine attribution of both good and evil. Without this, the divine omnipotence proclaimed by all the religions of revelation will remain somewhat unconvincing. This is perhaps the essential difference between Islam and Christianity, where, as is an known, evil has an anthropological and existential dimension. In conclusion, the analysis is summarized, showing that, on the one hand, the universal content of morality and notions of good and evil is important, on the other hand, in objective approach requires finding a subject “beyond good and evil”, as Nietzsche suggested.
