In her monumental work on the problem of evil, Eleonore Stump distinguishes between two types of knowledge: 'Dominican knowledge,' which emphasizes precision and propositional truths, and 'Franciscan knowledge,' which is not reducible to the former (E. Stump, Wandering in Darkness, Oxford, 2010). This paper argues that Christian theology could benefit from approaching the Qurʾān through the lens of 'Franciscan knowledge' to better understand its significance. It will demonstrate how this approach aligns with the tradition of the Qurʾān's recitation as beautiful (N. Kermani, God is Beautiful, Malden, 2015) and with the Qurʾān's structure as a second-person address. Following Stump's line of thought, the paper will explore the question of human suffering, showing how a 'Franciscan' reading, reshapes our understanding of it. This interpretation highlights how experiences of suffering are addressed in the Qurʾān, always framed by the presence of God in God's speech. Thus, the Qurʾānic event itself is understood as a potential 'second-person experience,' inviting an encounter between God and the listeners of the recitation.
