• 23:4323:43, 20 May 2025 diff hist −3,881‎ Scientific Errors in the Quran ‎ Added better image (hope that's ok). Removed location of stars as Encyclopedia of the Quran says mawaqi means setting places on the horizon & Lane's lexicon defines as "places of falling". Also the consensus meaning on the academic quran reddit. See edit to the Geocentrism page. Removed moonlight additions;Need to keep to important/compelling points; already a lengthy section. Not enough that there was a missed opportunity to introduce some science when verse is answering question about purpose.

• 23:0123:01, 20 May 2025 diff hist −242‎ Muhammad and illiteracy ‎ Removed Tafsir al-Jalalayn for 2:78 as translation is bad. It actually just quotes the verse and defines the ummeeoona as commoners. Simplest to just remove.
• 22:4222:42, 20 May 2025 diff hist −1,504‎ Convenient Revelations ‎ Removed "offering" for private meeting. The word in the verses is sadaqah, which just means voluntary charity as is clear in many other verses. Maybe was corruption in reality, but far to weak on available evidence for this page.

• 21:0021:00, 20 May 2025 diff hist +3,089‎ Stoning in Islamic Law ‎ Added some details to intro which Muslims sometimes complain are missing, and added a section on recent ICMA analysis of relevent hadiths

• 18:5818:58, 20 May 2025 diff hist −364‎ Qur'an, Hadith and Scholars:Offensive Jihad ‎ Strange mixture of translations in 9:29 replaced with single one. Removed sentence from very long intro text (much of which was misleading given revised treaties section). Added early source on Muhammad starting the war. Replaced citations to untitled book and bad link. current

• 14:1714:17, 19 May 2025 diff hist +418‎ Qur'an, Hadith and Scholars:Slavery ‎ Seen quite a few people point out the Zad al Ma'ad quotes were a mistranslation mixed with fabrication from another site (doesn't say safina was black) and bought more than sold had bits added about Jacob etc. Now using a sourced translation.
• 14:0614:06, 19 May 2025 diff hist −230‎ Evolution and Islam ‎ The source is wrong regarding Thales. Other sources make clear that he believed everything, not just life originates from water (Muslims rightly criticise the more specific claim an inaccurate/misleading). current
• 14:0214:02, 19 May 2025 diff hist +8,454‎ Scientific Miracles in the Quran ‎ Various improvements and added section for "Heavens and Earth wept for them", a persistently popular new miracle claim.
• 02:0702:07, 19 May 2025 diff hist −2,677‎ Scientific Errors in the Quran ‎ Olivier Mongellaz recently explained the oven story. Syriac source (attributed in Syriac Targum to Hippolytus, though undateable) has Ham's wife warned by water gushing up through bread oven. Makes sense. Tafsirs similar. The word translated boiled can just mean welled up in the context of water according to Lane. Gabriel Said-Reynolds was persuaded and seems likely correct. Added details to the cosmology, historical errors, and (in more detail) parallels pages.
• 01:5001:50, 19 May 2025 diff hist −1,192‎ Historical Errors in the Quran ‎ Added image. Removed/merged oven section. Olivier Mongellaz recently explained the oven story. Syriac source (attributed in Syriac Targum to Hippolytus, though undateable) has Ham's wife warned by water gushing up through bread oven. Makes sense. Tafsirs similar. The word translated boiled can just mean welled up in the context of water according to Lane. Gabriel Said-Reynolds is persuaded and likely correct. Grammar fixes inc. many "it's" to "its" as no apostrophe for possessive its in English.
• 00:3500:35, 19 May 2025 diff hist +1,599‎ Cosmology of the Quran ‎ Better structure for mobile view. Replaced generic (and inaccurate) main image with one specific to the Quran. Updated with Mongellaz's insights re the flood waters rising through an oven (see edit to Parallels article).
