Suffering is an undeniable fact in human life, but some spiritual schools do not adopt positive approaches in explaining it and do not have a correct view of its educational role. The present study aims to explain the position of educational suffering by focusing on the intellectual system of Allama Misbah Yazdi. The study method is descriptive-analytical and focuses on works in which the Allama has distinguished the theoretical and practical dimensions of suffering. The findings of the study show that the Allama first explains the theoretical challenges regarding the philosophy of evil and then places special emphasis on the practical and educational aspects of suffering, introducing disasters as opportunities for purification, growth of spiritual capacities, and increasing degrees of intimacy. The central conclusion is that in his school of thought, correct confrontation with suffering (including heartfelt satisfaction, patience, and righteous action) is a positive and vital step in the spiritual journey and conduct, not a passive reaction. This analysis provides a distinct practical and epistemological framework for transforming hardships into evolutionary blessings in the realm of ethics and religious education.
