With a little interest I viewed a video of a somewhat celebrated atheist
discussing his visit to a Muslim school in the UK.
During his trip, he claims to have noticed students quoting verses from the
Qur'an which, he says, were scientifically inaccurate.
The verses which spoke of two bodies of water that don't mix were clearly
misunderstood, and thus misinterpreted.
Therefore they were obviously 'scientifically incorrect' to the atheist since he
didn't understand them properly in the first place.
Be that as the case may be, it is important to understand that the Muslim does
not use science to qualify the Qur'an.
Rather it is the Qur'an that is held as the gold standard and is used to qualify
the world around him: astronomy, biology, chemistry, even finance and economics.
Using science to qualify scripture is by origin a European-American practice
where, as the New World was discovered, great effort was made to separate
religion from state.

The spirit of marriage
|
|
The Prophet 
was once asked, "What is more important than prayer?" He replied,
"The spirit of prayer" - the spirit that animates the prayer. He was
asked what is more important than fasting - he replied, the spirit of fasting.
For each question concerning an Islamic practice the answer was the same -
because the spirit brings the action to life and unfolds its potentials. Without
this animating spirit, the prayer is only movement, and the fasting only hunger.
But when spirit enters, when a pure and concentrated intention enters, the
action is transformed - the prayer gains the potential to become a miraj (an
elevating spiritual journey), and the one fasting approaches towards the
potential to witness laylatul qadr (the night of destiny - a night when
blessings from the spiritual world descend to this world).
So what is more important than marriage? It is the spirit of marriage, the
intention which underlies it, the treasures which it contains hidden within it
but which must be brought out and realized by the married couple themselves.
