Hence, there is a need to understand these contexts in which Muslims have read the Quran. The extratextual context relates to the social, state and legal practices. The reliance on the secondary texts often lead to confusing Quran with these texts, thereby, marginalizing Quran in the Muslim religious discourse. Shariah, that is, classical Muslim law is based on this understanding. These texts are referred in developing tafsir, that is, exegesis or interpretation of the Quran. To understand Quranic exegesis, we need to know the intertextualities or interrelation between the secondary texts, such as, hadith, that is, narratives of the prophet and Sunnah, that is, prophet’s biography. Patriarchal exegesis is often due to application of these secondary texts. Secondary texts were highly regarded among religious scholars and state elites. Many pre-Islamic arab, byzantine, jewish and persian elements were included in the secondary texts. The secondary texts were influenced by social and cultural practices. In order to understand how Muslims produce religious meanings from the Quran one needs to identify the methodology used in reading the Quran and the secondary texts. For Muslims, Quran is the source of Truth and has practical applications in this world. The Quran was revealed through divine inspiration to prophet Muhammed over a period of years. They change the words from their right places and forget a good part of the message that was sent them.

At least, science in its current state.” Some fashionable beliefs are “more appealing the less you understand physics,” but Hossenfelder avoids low-hanging fruit (Deepak Chopra and Elon Musk make fleeting appearances), preferring to interview and often argue with fellow physicists, including Nobel laureates. Natural laws contradict others, and still others are “ascientific”-i.e., neither true nor false but unprovable: “Science has nothing to say about it. Unlike many other science writers, Hossenfelder is less interested in denouncing pseudoscience than revealing that many spiritual ideas are compatible with modern physics. Religious leaders ask the same questions, as do philosophers, gurus, mystics, alternative healers, and outright quacks. More than other scientific fields, notes the author, physics asks profound questions about the meaning of everything, including life and death, the origin of the universe, and the nature of reality. In her second book, she turns her gimlet eye on popular beliefs. In her 2018 book, Lost in Math: How Beauty Leads Physics Astray, Hossenfelder, research fellow at the Frankfurt Institute for Advanced Studies, excoriated her colleagues for falling in love with theories that bear little relation to reality. A German physicist digs into a host of existential quandaries. Smith envisions a sci-fi future sucked clean of any real dangers, contemplates the dark matter that keeps people both close and distant, and revisits the kitschy concepts like "love" and "illness" now relegated to the Museum of Obsolescence. With allusions to David Bowie and interplanetary travel, Life on Mars imagines a soundtrack for the universe to accompany the discoveries, failures, and oddities of human existence.

But at the end of the chapter, the restless spirit of reflection will cause us to look at that view as well." Look at the nice long words he uses. They can take some comfort from the tradition in theology that the more unlikely a belief is to be true, the more meritorious is the act of faith required to believe it. Some readers may feel threatened by this. To quote page 151: "To jump the gun a little, I am going to present a fair number of reasons against supposing that anything recognizable as religious belief is true. It's hard to know for sure when you find yourself unable to read so much of it. At least, I think that's what he was doing. I started with the God chapter and it soon became apparent that the author is trying to prevent the reader from 'thinking' for themselves, by subtly peddling his mildly atheistic viewpoint. Therefore, the only way to find employment as a modern philosopher is to construct confusing answers for the unanswerable questions in order to hide the fact that, essentially, they have nothing new to say. It seems to me that modern philosophers have all reached the conclusion that the big questions have already all been answered as well as they are ever going to be. Time and again I found myself re-reading sentences several times until I concluded that I couldn't get what the author was trying to say, before moving on to the next sentence, with some amount of hope that the previous sentence wasn't important anyway. Pitched as an introduction to philosophy, this book is actually very heavy going. (Iodine also is available in foods.)Īn interesting book, as far as it goes. How could there be a need for something that is indigestible? A salt-free diet is ideal because bio-available sodium and chloride are available in natural foods. We do not need salt at all, in any amount. Of course we need sodium to maintain normal endocrine balances, but it must be bio-available sodium, from organic sources-natural foods-not from inorganic matter. As Michael Pollan said, "Never eat anything incapable of rotting." It does not work because nutrients must be in bio-available form. Trying to get nutrients from salt is like trying to get calcium by eating sand or plaster. Which plant or animal gives us salt? We are plant eaters, not rock crystal eaters. “Organic" means derived from a living source, a plant or an animal. The human body cannot digest, assimilate, or utilize inorganic matter, and salt is inorganic matter. It warns against excessive salt, but salt is toxic in any amount because of its inorganic nature.
