Originally, I was going to cover this book for Independent Reading. But then we didn't have to do the assignment (yay, no thematic/analytic essay!) and I could truly enjoy reading and annotating this book.
The premise, for those who have yet to read it: Innocent Smith is a man who is determined to not, as he put it, "die while still alive." So... he climbs trees, rescues runaway hats, has picnics on roofs, breaks into his own house... shatters societal conventions while still following the commandments. Leaving home for the sole purpose of returning to it... wooing and recapturing his wife all over again... Mr. Smith has an excellent grasp of living life to the fullest.
I loved this book and highly recommend it to people who love a good story with lots of things which will make you scratch your head and smile.

French doctor, head of surgery at the University of Paris, converted to Islam in 1982. Considered his book (the Bible and the Quran and science) of the most important books that studied the Scriptures in the light of modern knowledge. Has a book (the Koran and science modern) awarded by the French Academy in 1988 Prize in history. Says: "The first thing that is surprising in the spirit of facing the texts of the Koran for the first time is the richness of the topics of scientific treatment, and while we find in the Torah - Current - errors scientific huge, do not discover in the Qur'an any error (3). Had Someone Quran man how can in the seventh century to write the facts do not belong to his time .. there is no explanation and my source of the Quran "(4)." I did not find compatibility between religion and science until the day embarked on a study of the Koran science and religion in Islam brothers are twins. because the Qur'an and the Hadith Sharif call on every Muslim to seek knowledge, of course, but also caused great achievements of Islamic civilization on the compliance orders imposed on Muslims since the dawn of Islam "
