CPO675
→‎The locations of Heaven and Hell: Added a small point how the rivers of paradise are always described as running 'below/underneath' the gardens, which links in with antiquity imagery of paradise being connected to Earth via rivers as discussed in the paragraph.

CPO675
→‎The stars, planets, and meteors: I have added a section on the interpretation of Q15:16 referring to towers, which may well have been part of traditional Islamic cosmology - and provided academic references.

CPO675
→‎Solid firmaments held without visible pillars: Added a short sentence explaining the meaning of the word below, to clarify the meaning of the quote that the sky is held up by Gods power alone rather than a physical thing like columns which might not be obvious from the text.

CPO675
→‎Solid firmaments held without visible pillars: Have added a small piece more evidence on the rivers of paradise being connected to Earth with 'sahih' hadith, and scholar Tommo Tesei's article explaining their link with Quran 18:61.

CPO675
→‎The Earth and its waters: I have added in a Bukhari verse on the seven earths here, as I believe this is more relevant to the seven Earths being one upon the other in Islamic cosmology than the hadith currently there.

Rejected the last text change (by CPO675) and restored revision 137492 by Lightyears: That site is a very mixed bag with some good content but lots of mistakes. In this case Q.55.22 and 35.12 show these are both meant to be earthly seas. The author is also not clear enough when he adds his own comments to translations. The hadiths may be useful if we ever have a page on hadith cosmology but are of limited evidential value for the Quran itself.

CPO675
→‎External links: I have added a link to an external article that does a great job of breaking down the sweet and salty oceans 'primeval waters' in the Islamic universe (which expands upon this page), breaking down the Arabic and comparing to the biblical passages/cosmology. As well as explicitly stating the scientific errors of it.

→‎The stars, planets, and meteors: I have added in a few more verses covering stars as a protective function for more context. And linked the 'Science and the seven Earths' page which has more hadith on this topic.
