Einstein and Shia Islam

Some of it. It has a lyrical quality to it, but no scientific intent.
It is puzzling that some people think otherwise.

You know enough about people to not be puzzled by this.
You are not the only one to tell me that. I guess it is not a matter of having enough knowledge.

I have, and I really can't say I saw it as a science book. But again, why do we need Islam? I think Richard Dawkins, albeit a brilliant scientist, is a living tragedy the way he drives people away from science and has them building up barriers that keep them from learning about it. But it doesn't address why we need Islam.

If Dawkins did that he was rather silly (I dont know, I have not read it). But trying to tie Einstein to a religious group would be just as silly. Einstein was not an atheist, and he didnt have conventional religious beliefs either.
Thank you for posing this question...
If I don't have the answer, then this means that I have been cheating and betraying myself for all of these years by following a religion that claims to have all the answer for humanity problems...
But Again, what image of Islam do non-Muslim hold about Islam...
Even for many Muslims, the image of Islam is distorted...
But there is a jewel under the dust... That is why people are increasingly talking about Islam...
Does it? Isn't it at least possible that you are simply mistaken?
If so, the consequences do not have to be particularly serious.
Understanding Islam does seem to be quite the challenge for pretty much everyone.
Maybe it is. But why don't you tell us why you think we need Islam (in the sense of the religious doctrine, not necessarily the high ideal)?
Prove your above statement please.

From what I've read, Einstein considered Buddhism the great cosmic religion of the future. However, some doubt that he spoke what is often quoted in favor of that:
Some of Einstein's Writings on Science and Religion
that reveals that Einstein would have rejected many things in Islam. So was there some secret meeting where Einstein professed faith in the Quran and Islam? I highly doubt it. When speaking of god, Einstein said that he believed in "the god of Spinoza", who himself was a pantheist. So no, Einstein didn't believe in any veracity of Islam.
Did he say this? No one really knows for sure. However, there are many articles at this site:

You are asking me to prove that I have a certain perception, which amounts to asking whether I am lying. I am not.
In any case, I don't mind. I don't know why you would disagree that understanding Islam is a challenge when you have just stated pretty much the same thing, in any case.
As for why I think so, it is mainly because I have had some contact with the endless, often passionated disagreements about how best to practice Islam.
It is not even all that hard to actually see Shias accusing Sunnis of not being Muslims or vice versa due to disagreements about Hadiths or the validity of Mut'ah.
But if you think that it is a misperception or exageration of mine, fine. I have no horse in that race, and for all I know and even hope you may be right.
So According to you there is "Islam" and and there is "Shia Islam", which is something other than Islam.
We used the talk of your kind of creatures.
Wait and you will see.

Gzdhay Einstein's last paper: (DIE ERKLA "RUNG Persian month Dey Arklrvng = STATEMENT): The doctor Jesus Mahdavi, R & Foreword and Notes: Alexander Jahangiri
Introduction
In early 1382, SSI (= 2003 AD), Prof. Ibrahim Mahdavi (born 1310 Proj) - based in London after a trip to America and Germany and France and meet some capitalists car company "Ford" in America and "Benz" in German and "Concord" in France and satisfy some of their members for financial support to buy the monograph can be expensive to buy it from an antiques finally got to sign Jewish branded. The price for this thesis is that all your line Einstein was over three million dollars was paid to such Prorated:
1/000/000 $ BENZ honor that Einstein was German.
1/000/000 $ FORD honor and to honor the lives of those who lived in America. FBI. Kennedy. President of America (deceased 1963 CE) in his paper, Einstein repeatedly named her as America's next president, but in 1954 AD (the year of this writing) still remained seven years since he was elected! This is one of Einstein's predictions. Perhaps clues to the mystery of the serial assassinations of the Kennedy family, in this paper, there is marvelous that we can understand why Kennedy was killed? Where is the secret to this mystery? Because his family were victims? And why ... ?
500/000 $: CONCORDE Lavazyh his honor - the victim of the 1794 Revolution / or riot / France - and the law of conservation of matter in which he is mentioned several times in this paper.

The main characters in this book: Albert Einstein (suspicious death 1955 AD) / Alexander Fleming (died 1955 CE) Grand Ayatollah Hossein Boroujerdi (died 1961 AD) / Niels Bohr (Bohr) chemist and the Danish physicist who also Einstein in writing of his collaboration (died 1962 AD) / John.

The question that arises here is why death dates (1954 - 1955 and again 1955 AD) and three dates of death (1961 - 1962 to 1963 AD), exactly Located behind? And why the author (Einstein), with her ​​main partner in this version (Alexander Fleming) both in one year (1955 AD) dead? And because one of Translators and connectors (as ... c ...) in the same year John has written Raslh caused the crash? And because a few years ago, two children and other interface interpreter (C ...

And finally, why should the resale of such person (Einstein) for about half a century (!) Kept secret and why "Safe British series" excuse to avoid creation of "a Rvlvshn (= the religious dangerous" to allow the proliferation of scientific work - religious We will not under any circumstances?

Bellow is part of the biography of Ayatollah Seyyed Hossein Borujerdi from wikipedia:
Education and academic specialties
Borujerdi was born in March 1875 in the city of Borujerd in Lorestan Province in Iran, hence the surname. His family traced its lineage 30 generations to Hassan ibn Ali the grand son of the Prophet Muhammad. At the age of 11 he began his education at the theological schools of his city, under his father Sayed Ali. Then in 1310 (1892–93) he went to the theological school of Isfahan to continue his education. In the ten years that he studied in Isfahan he completed his sutuh studies and was also granted the level of Ijtihad from his teachers, and began teaching Usul. Around the age of 30 Burujerdi moved from Isfahan to the theological seminary of Najaf, Iraq to continue his education.[2]
In his youth, Borujerdi studied under a number of Shia masters of fiqh such as Mohammad-Kazem Khorasani and Aqa Zia Iraqi, and specialized in fiqh. He studied the fiqahat of all the Islamic schools of thought, not just his own, along with the science of rijal. [...] He has had a strong influence on Islamic scholars like Morteza Motahhari and Hussein-Ali Montazeri.
Tenure as Ayatollah and Marja
Borujerdi revived the hawza of Qom in 1945 (1364 AH), which had waned after the death in 1937 of its founder, Abdul-Karim Ha'eri Yazdi. When Sayyid Abul Hassan Isfahani died the following year, the majority of Shi'a accepted Ayatullah Borujerdi as Marja'. Scholar Roy Mottahedeh reports that Borujerdi was the sole marja "in the Shia world" from 1945-6 until his death in 1961.[3]
Efforts toward Islamic unity
Borujerdi was the first Marja to look beyond Iraq and Iran. He sent Sayyid Muhaqqiqi to Hamburg, Germany, Aqa-e-Shari'at to Karachi, Pakistan, Al-Faqihi to Medina and Musa al-Sadr to Lebanon.
He established cordial relations with Mahmud Shaltut, the grand Shaykh of al-Azhar Mosque. Together, the two scholars established the "House for Bringing Muslim Sects Nearer" in Cairo. Shaltut issued a famous fatwa accepting the Shi'a faith as one of the recognised sects of Islam.
Political leanings
[...]
Ayatollah Borujerdi passively opposed the Pahlavi regime's agrarian reforms, which he called "agrarian destruction."[6] In his view, the confiscations of large concentrations of landholdings of aristocrats and clergy by the Pahlavi shahs disrupted the fabric of rural life and eroded religious institutions.
Ruhollah Khomeini, who would lead the Iranian people's revolution in 1979, was a pupil of Borujerdi and Borujerdi forbade him to take part in political activities, a ban which only ended with Borujerdi's death.
Death
Borujerdi died in Qom on March 30, 1961.[7] The Shah proclaimed three days of mourning and attended a memorial service in his honor.[8]
