Book Synopsis
This volume explores the origins of Iblīs as a tragic figure in the Qur’an. Although it is often said that there is no place for tragedy in Islam, Bodman’s careful examination of the Iblīs story shows that the tragic exists even in the Qur’an and forms part of the vision of medieval Sufi mystics and modern social critics alike.
