The phenomenon of pain and suffering is present in human life from the time the person is born to the time of his death, for one is born with the pain and dies with it as well. That is why pain and suffering are, in some sense, polysemous phenomena, inevitable companions in every human biography, it is a challenging topic and a secret indeed.  In the first part of the article, the author presents sociological, anthropological, philosophical, and theological definitions of pain and suffering. Then he moves to point out the attitude of the sources of Islam towards pain and suffering, where he first explains the phenomenon of health and sickness respectively, and then also pain and suffering to which all human beings are always exposed.
