Think like a man of action, and act like a man of thought.
Jewish Orthopraxy and Christian orthodoxy complement each other to arrive at resonance of house of Ishmael peace be upon him.
Greek modernity is biased against Jewish Orthopraxy, so they were skeptical of Bergson’s rigour. Paul and Greek modernity are great allies, except in case of rare Genuine saints who do not hate commandments.
If quantum fluctuations are a process then it accords with Quran that God is a dynamic entity engaged in processes. And, are scientific descriptions conclusive, which I think are not, because we do not have a theory of everything.
The uniqueness of Quranic description rather than explanation is in contrast to a resting biblical God. The verse I referred is one of many. By conclusive I mean, is nothing already fully described, or is it an evolving idea of nothingness. And, since I am a professional student of quantum mechanics, how is rigorous study of quantum fluctuations going to affect my monotheistic belief. And, believers should be encouraged to deal with scientific concepts in a safe zone in order to be able to build bridges with modern world. If a fish leaves comfort zone and explores open air for some moments it should be welcomed rather than discussing it’s flying credentials in a patronizing way. I have seen Hitchens and Dawkins leaving comfort zone and trying to deal with Quran in patronizing ways, but still it was better than Greco-Roman indifference.

In the traditional world, the reconciliation of text and reason was often approached through the study and interpretation of religious texts. For example, in Christianity, the Bible was seen as the authoritative source of truth, and scholars worked to understand and interpret its teachings through the use of reason and critical thinking.
One approach was to use a method called exegesis, which involved analyzing the text to understand its original context, the intended meaning of the author, and how it might be relevant to contemporary issues. This involved a careful study of language, history, culture, and philosophy.
Another approach was to use a method called hermeneutics, which focused on interpreting the text in light of broader philosophical and theological principles. This involved a more abstract and conceptual analysis of the text, drawing on concepts such as metaphysics, epistemology, and ethics.
Overall, the reconciliation of text and reason in the traditional world was a complex and multifaceted process, requiring a deep understanding of both the text and the broader intellectual and cultural context in which it was situated. It was a process that involved careful scholarship, critical thinking, and a commitment to truth and understanding.
I think Shafiis are better than Hanafis and Salafis because they seek compromise and reconciliation between text and intellect.

Pro intellectual Hanafi legalists do not allow combining two prayers during illness while pro textual Hanbali legalists do. This shows that being pro textual does not always go against modern comfort zone.
