I would say that I have profound "obsession" about hidden miracles of Islamic holy book (which were known only in technocene).
I participated in a project with Japanese scientists about this when i was 19.
In my opinion the real miracle is how it relates to one's mindset n helps recalibrate according to the situation... (Esp if u know or read hadith to accompany it as both complement each other to give a complete context. ) feel similarly about the Bible and any other spiritual messages like Buddha.
For instance with my L and L clerk situation i was frustrated as I was trying to explain how she lied n it made me sound like i was making it up so he didn't believe me
Then i opened it n it opened to Surah Ya-Seen here is what I saw
(This is Muhammad Asads translation ..
he was a Jew who converted author of my fave non fiction book Road to Mecca, and my favourite translator.. Because he is v precise n gets words correctly, as well as being poetic minded ...
so he understands meanings properly eg he knows to say enshrouded rather than covered up to get the meaning more accurately translated)
'around their necks We have put shackles, reaching up to their chins, so that their heads are forced up;
and We have set a barrier before them and a barrier behind them, and We have enshrouded them in veils so that they cannot see:
thus, it is all one to them whether thou warnest them or dost not warn them: they will not believe.'
It was really good for me tp see that as Id been trying to make their manager understand n explain how they were lying as well previously explain to the L how his clerk was still lying..
So it gave me peace of mind to read 'whether u say it or not they won't believe' essentially if someone is so arrogant...
they dont look at things properly (ie necks held up with shackles i.e. cannot look around or below due to pride)...only see what they want to see..
So both those verses helped reset my mindset
