Driven by a detailed hermeneutical investigation of the Qur'anic story of creation, this book questions the hybrid Biblical/Qur'anic narrative that gradually erased the lines that define the authentic Qur'anic account. Abla Hasan argues that humanity's divine status is the bedrock from which to investigate the meaning of human religiosity and address the problem of pain and suffering. The detailed analysis in this book answers many linguistic and logical pending questions in the Qur'an and is a serious departure from popular Muslim narratives that seek to alleviate our pain and suffering.

On Pain and Suffering: A Qur'anic Perspective presents a new departure in the literature of Islamic exegesis, Islamic theology, and Islamic thought at large, especially regarding the moment of creation of Adam, and the questions of natural (divine) and human (moral) evil. Abla Hasan, the theologian-scholar, interprets the Qur'an-by-the-Qur'an and leaves aside classical mainstream interpretations regarding these questions: Why is there evil on Earth? How to theologically respond to it? How is that explanation faithful to the overall Qur'anic message of human vicegerency, and responsibility, on Earth? This book reflects the quest of the modern Muslim intellect to make a more rational connection between human moral responsibilities and the Qur'anic formative stories. For its high relevance, it will certainly be read and discussed widely, beyond exegeses' circles!
