I was hesitant to write about a religious subject, but after a while, I understood that this time it is not related to Islam only and not even to religion only, so I guess no problem to write in it
The classical dilemma between the religious people and scientific persons is the way the orders of god should be handled and the meaning of the religion
The religious persons came up with the rule: “if there is no text, no more searches should be made”!! This statement, while I partially agree with it, participated to delay our research actions for decades and pulled us back for hundreds of years
When I tell you “go to the bank” how many meanings could you have for this statement?
Here comes the rule of the context, if I tell you that and you want to deposit money, so it is actually an order to deposit the money, even if you don’t go yourself and send someone
If it comes in a Saturday then it doesn’t make any sense, and more likely to be like kidding with you.
Now, the orders of god are fixed, they don’t change all over the years and decades, it is not negociatable to say it changes, the question is, how do you understand it?
We are humans, which mean our understanding for something is always incomplete, by time things and events add up to our understating for each line.
I don’t want to talk for long, but in brief, what I do think is, all the time we should consider the religion orders and try to understand why What should we do And what is the best based on the current context not the previous context. Nothing is over consideration, as long as we consider it carefully studying the previous causes and taking into consideration the current situation, we can come with the best solutions and answers to the current time and move on in life.
No need to state that church and Islamic religious hard minded persons have held humanity from proceeding in life for long time with the name of god
In the last few days a big fight came about “al hegaab” or the hair cover for women, based on the previous context some came up with the idea that it is not required anymore, that is because they based it on the environment conditions (I strongly don’t agree with that) but I do agree with their way in research, they just need to understand more in the cause of it, the religious one and start thinking of it again

welcome in my little world :)
about the first point, I want to clarify something:
i was talking about knowing the meaning of the order, not the "use" of it, and that is different, for example, if you take hijab as a hair cover, a girl can cover her hair and still wear clothes that are tight and that stuff, she didn't add up anything then, only when you know "what is the meaning" you know how to apply the order the right way
I agree with you, if we know what is the meaning of the order we should do it and let the answer of its use later
What I am talking about is to try to reach the soul of the order to know "how to apply it" that is so important or we will be acting and pryer will be just physical acts, hijab will be a custom and so on
I remember I asked my little cousine once, why do we pray 5 times not 2 times only but long prayers for example, she didn't answer, that is because no one ever made her think why we are praying at all!!!
Welcome again :)
jenny, orders of god has reasons, most of the time it carries more than what you can see on the surface, what I mean is by looking to its deep inside meanings, lots of aspects will show up and we will be able to do the orders in a better way by understaing it
the second point is about the orders that has no meaning until it is in a specific context, I am not so much in religious stuff but let me say, for example in our religion, alcohol is forbidden, but in the beginning of our religion it wasn't forbidden, if we get stuck to the words we will get confused by the two orders as in the first it states that it is not favorable, in the second it states directly it is forbidden, the point is, it is important to understand why the order came this way, right?
jews were ordered by god to enter egypt, if we remove this order from its context, should they leave all the world now to go to egypt?
I believe orders of god are fixed and should never change, they are ethical basis and upon them we build the rules that control our life based on the current context of our modern life condition
