If you want to make random claims I can't really stop you, idk what you want me to tell you
>There is no apparent interpretation of every verse.
There not being an apparent interpretation of 'alif lam meem' doesn't necessitate an esoteric interpretation, which is what I'm arguing.
>And verses you can't take literally: 18:85-86.
Linguistically it's very clear what the Arabic means here.
>So apparent just means a regurgitation of the Sunni interpretation.
No, it means the most obvious meaning of a statement according to the Arabic.
My room is going to end up looking like Lain's at this rate
Friction fires aren't necessarily always the easiest way to start a fire, if you have any common metal, lens or reflective surface to hand there are way easier techniques
You shouldn't take a 'part' at face value you should take the whole at face value (that is to say, including any other texts that outwardly state what kind of striking people are permitted to engage in), but yes there is a kind of striking of the wife that Allah permitted and anyone who denies this is illiterate or coping.
I don't know why people think this is a 'gotcha', the answer is literally just 'yes'.
No one really has an argument against it other than that they don't personally like it, and the expectation that for some reason everyone should agree with the morality your culture happened to impose on you.
I'm guessing you think this because as you've stated elsewhere you were taught in Iran, where they often opt for 'tafsir batiniyya' (esoteric interpretation) as opposed to just taking the texts at their dhahir (apparent) meaning. You might find the works of someone like Ibn Hazm refreshing, since he talks about this sort of thing alot.
The practice of people divorcing texts from their linguistic meaning isn't something unique to the Qur'an, by that logic anything can mean anything and it's very useful for certain people, but since you're obviously able to understand what I'm saying there has to be some underlying structure.
so how are they going to deal with a transaction that's 1000 euros one day, and less than that another day. Plus they have no idea what's going on on Monero, which is what most people are using to actually trade goods, so this basically only applies to legacy crypto & shitcoins
this will be an interesting case study of current theories of evolution in a couple thousand years
I think alot of people before 1960 were aware that one thing somewhere would lead to other things elsewhere
it was not enough to have man made horrors beyond our comprehension, we also had to go and cause man made horrors without even being aware of our lack of comprehension
>Kids never want to go to school
It's literally a glorified prison, this shouldn't surprise anyone. I won't be sending my children to school, it only exists so that parents can neglect their children in favor of feeding the machine.
