So I removed one leaving it in the myths section (as they should still be here rather than historical analysis only). And added some context to explain why the wall should still be here according to the Quran, despite the claims of many modern apologists. Tag: Visual edit [checked by Lightyears]

Saw in his heart is too easily dismissed as metaphorical. There are countless verses of that nature (hearts full of doubt etc.).

Supplimentary points need to be brief and the 98% from asteroid belt figure in the source is for meteorites (meteors which reach the ground), a small subcategory of all meteors; angels only mentioned in the hadith, and Muslims would see it as a mere theological matter that Allah could redirect meteoroids already near earth. Added brief response to some modern apologetics.

As the text is getting chunky I've added a bold title for both 'meteors/asteroids' and stars separately to make it easier to read - especially as I plan on adding a few more points to the 'Stars' section. It is just bold text and not a proper title Tag: Visual edit

The very long link was messing up the format of the references section and on mobile shifted the entire page to the left. Also for verses we use the {{Quran}} or {{Quran-range}} templates. Still think adornment point has a too obvious refutation (20th century onwards anyone can marvel at Hubble images etc.) but will leave for now.

Bit of editing as conciseness and hard choices of points/quotes to include are necessary in such an already very long but important article. Citations for the most uncontroversial, easily verifiable things like death dates can be omitted. Couple of removals (adornment point would be countered due to space telescope images admired by many people; final resting place interpretation is first attributed to Qatadah b. Di'amah b. 680 CE).
