Spring of the cow
Month, Day: 177, Names, Beauty (Independence)
By a circuitous route, got to reading about Akka's references in the Writings, mostly the Quran and related material.
Find this little bit of wisdom: Khidr.
How does it relate to us? Think technology. And, AI. One point of interest is ethics and using the example of dilemmas about whom to allow to die. The approaches ignore some old lessons. How do we recover these?
Anthropological view on ethics.

Surah of Hud
Month, Day: 177, Perfection, Might (Beauty)
Over the years, have read this Surah and wanted to learn of Those (PBUH) named Who were not familiar to the usual viewpoint of western Christianity. So, it's time.

The motive (my emphasis):
In like manner, those words that have streamed forth from the source of power and descended from the heaven of glory are innumerable and beyond the ordinary comprehension of man. To them that are possessed of true understanding and insight the Súrah of Húd surely sufficeth. Ponder a while those holy words in your heart, and, with utter detachment, strive to grasp their meaning…. (“Kitáb-i-Íqán”, p. 5)

Reduced to five
Month, Day: 177, Perfection, Glory (Glory)
At times over the years, we have mentioned reading the Koran, several translations. Then, we ran into scholarly works related to Islam, some of them out of Oxford. That was an eye opener (say, Bahira) in many ways.
Today, we will just put out an image, from a book. The URL is embedded in the image. Basically, the context deals with the Night Journey. Have seen many references to this; finally, I have paid more attention. Which gets me to thinking about the 7V and 4V.
The author is a cuz of sorts, so worth quoting.
