It is not the Quran 🤷‍♀️

So the Arabic language has many religious expressions or idioms that are built in .. Maybe more than other languages. It is probably as a result of the culture being religious and conservative in nature. I will admit that I use some of these religiousexpressions sometimes, as I speak in Arabic. To me, they don't have any religious meaning, they are just part of the language. 🤷‍♀️ And maybe I just don't care enough to filter them out.. Even if you look at Christian Arabs, they speak exactly like Muslims! I could only recognise someone is Christian through their name, but other than that, they use many expressions that are pretty much Islamic.. As I said, it is just the language..

Some expressions are more religious than other. I think these that are very religious, I don't use them as much, not on purpose, I think I just never learned to use them, not even when I was a believer. And of course I wouldn't expect a Christian to use them.

So one expression is; ('Something' is not the Quran") - Just for the record, this is not an expression that I would find myself naturally saying. When you say this, you are trying to imply that, hey, this 'something' can be discussed, changed, improved, judged.. in other words it is not divine.

Funny how rigid thinking is even showing in our expressions. Even our expressions show that some things are NOT up for discussion or improvement, when we should be able to discuss everything and anything.

So today we were in a staff meeting discussing some ideas, and my boss said this expression as he was implying that some concepts may change or be rebutted as we move further.

I am very sure that a sneaky smile showed on my face 🥔🤭, as I was thinking to myself; yea right, like the Quran never changed.🤷‍♀️ One of my biggest problems is that my face is very reflective of what's going on inside me. So if I can't stand someone, it just shows on my face.. and if a funny thought goes through my head, I'd be chuckling with myself, and you'd think I am a crazy potato.
