+2
→Bees Eat Fruit: Better translation
+25
Removed Under Review flag. I've gone through the whole page, making lots of corrections, removals and improvements (see also the discussion tab). Always room for improvement, but I think it's a good enough standard currently to be without the review flag.
−17
→Linguistics
m−9
→Space Flight is Impossible: Deleted as 55:33 doesn't say it's impossible, rather, at most, that it can't happen without Allah's authority
−469
→People use the Forehead to Lie: Correct altered translation + note that this is just a dawah miracle claim
+157
→Animals Speak to Humans: Removed. This is referring to a future event, a specially created creature.
−340
→Humans Created in Paradise and then Brought to Earth: Removed as too weak. It only refers to the garden (2:25) and it's only tafsirs that say this was in heaven.
−1,167
→Human Creation from Clay
m+1
→Human Creation from Clay: Added the Arabic words and related verse
+137
→Classification of Creatures: Deleted as this is very weak. It's obviously not meant to be an exhaustive list, doesn't include 6 legged insects either.
−525
→Corn has Seven Ears, Each with a Hundred Grains: Deleted section (see discussion tab). This is obviously a parable, doesn't mean anyone thought grain had 7 ears.
−320
→Coat of Mail was Invented during the Reign of David: The word in 21:80 literally means garment, so now better translation used (34:11 does indeed mean chainmail)

+235

−333
→Earth is Like a Carpet: Merging Earth is a wide plain section into here as it's the same Arabic word

→History: Removed Humans can Sleep for Three Hundred Years because one of the points of the story is that it is a miracle
−620
→Sociology: Animals live in communities has been moved to the zoology section
−519
→Zoology: Removed birds fight elephants as it is merely a ridiculous miracle story and doesn't belong on this page. Removed sinful animals as the verse doesn't say that and moved Animals live in communities to here.
−528
→Thunder is an Angel: Renamed to be more accurate as the Qur'an does not say as such. Not a very good error example in my opinion as no targeting criteria is given other than that Allah pleases to smite them..

→Mountains Cast into the Earth: some info on the word 'cast'
