Essays also explore the symbolism of physical elements such as water, trees, seas, ships, food, the male sexual organ, eyebrows, and camels; and the significance of more socially-centered subjects such as the center, , governance, otherness, , and Arabic. Drawing from the and , the essays address these topics with tact and respect from a position that appreciates exegetical diversity while remaining within the realm of unity.
