Justice as the Condition of Jubilation in the Qur’an Narrative Vindication and Qur’anic Ethics of Joy

Justice as the Condition of Jubilation in the Qur'an is the second volume in The Forgotten Lexicons of the Qur'an, a philosophical and ethical investigation into a neglected moral sequence within the Qur'anic worldview. This book advances a central claim: joy in the Qur'an does not function as an emotional state to be cultivated, but as an ethical sign that appears only after justice has been fulfilled. Where injustice persists, joy is premature. Where justice is restored, jubilation becomes morally truthful. Moving beyond psychological and emotional readings, the book reframes fear as moral evidence rather than weakness, judgment as restoration rather than threat, and accountability as the necessary condition for emotional healing. Fear is examined not as pathology, but as the first affective response to moral disorder. Judgment is explored not as condemnation, but as the act that repairs reality itself. Through close conceptual analysis, the work traces how injustice destabilizes moral predictability, produces structural fear, and fractures emotional coherence. Jubilation, by contrast, emerges only when moral order is visibly restored—when accountability is complete and reality becomes trustworthy again. Written at the intersection of Qur'anic ethics, moral philosophy, and existential analysis, this volume is neither devotional nor prescriptive. It does not instruct the reader how to feel. Instead, it diagnoses the ethical sequence through which emotions become truthful. This book is intended for readers interested in Qur'anic thought, philosophy of ethics, moral psychology, and the structural conditions of justice, meaning, and emotional restoration.
