This work revisits the preceding editions of the essays, published in 2025 and 2015, respectively. As with the first two editions, a decade also passed between the 2026 edition and the 2015 edition. Knowledge requires being updated regularly to remain relevant. Tragedy takes different forms: personal, as well as communal. Tragedy is the experience of evil. Tragedy entails the experience of loss of what or who is dear to us. This could be life, reputation, or property. From the perspective of revelation, tragedy emerges when we drift from the Creator, fail to remember Him regularly, and stray into the wilderness. The Book of Allah provides examples of persons and nations that experienced tragedy because they rejected the signs of Allah and perpetrated injustice. The example of Pharaoh is emphasized. But further examples are also provided. In their stories are lessons for the wise on how to prevent tragedy: by following the guidance of Allah. To live well requires guidance. This is predicated on the perception that there is a difference between right and wrong, between what is good and what is evil. The Book of Allah teaches these differences. Nietzsche's rejection of God was a tragedy; it paved the way for tragedy on an epic scale. The rejection of the difference between good and evil paved the way for World War II. The first example of tragedy was Adam's disobedience and resultant banishment. But there is redemption. Allah guided Adam, which redeemed him.
