Abla Hasan is Professor of Practice of Arabic Language and Culture at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, USA. She is the author of Decoding the Egalitarianism of the Qur'an: Retrieving Lost Voices on Gender (2019), On Pain and Suffering: A Qur’anic Perspective (2022), and The Qur’anic Dilemma: A Hermeneutical Investigation of al-Khidr (Routledge, 2022).

'Never one to shy from difficult subjects, Abla Hasan takes on one of the most weaponized episodes in the Prophet's biography: his marriage to Zaynab bt. Jaḥsh. Moving deftly between Anglophone and Arabophone scholarship and deploying rigorous intra-Qur'anic hermeneutics, Hasan recovers a narrative of communal obligation and care where others have seen only scandal. Nuanced and well-researched, A Qur’anic Reading of Muhammad's Secret is a provocative contribution to scholarship on the Qur'an, gender, and the early Islamic period.' - Celene Ibrahim, author of Women and Gender in the Qur'an'Starting from the well-known Qur’anic episode concerning Muhammad’s marriage to Zaynab, the former wife of his freed slave and adopted son Zayd, A Qur’anic Reading of Muhammad’s Secret does far more than revisit a controversial moment in the Prophet’s life. Challenging both the classical narrative that identifies the Prophet’s “secret” with a hidden love for Zaynab while she was still married to Zayd and the more common modern interpretation that associates it with foreknowledge of his future marriage, Dr. Abla Hasan advances a new reading grounded exclusively in the Qur’an. In her bold and innovative interpretation, Muhammad’s later marriage to Zaynab is connected not to romantic desire or privileged access to the future, but to his responsibility as leader and guardian of the vulnerable members of his nascent community. Using this case study, Dr. Hasan develops a broader methodological argument that makes this book a must-read for scholars of Islam and Muslim societies alike: the study of Muhammad’s life should privilege the Qur’an itself and its minimalist portrait of the Prophet over later biographical and exegetical traditions, which, she argues, reflect the theological, legal, and political concerns of later Muslim communities.' - Mauro Nobili, University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, USA'Abla Hasan has found her voice in this provocative yet respectful invitation to believers for a new kind of Qur'anic exegesis. A systematic thought experiment that rethinks everything.' - Mahan Mirza, Executive Director of the Ansari Institute at the University of Notre Dame, USA
