→All organisms created in pairs: Added 'intersex' people into the section and some line spacing to make it easier to read
+210
Possession point is too incidental so replaced with brief pointer to main article. Character count of this long but important page has increased by 10 percent recently, some of which were minor or dubious supplementary points or excessive detail which will need trimming back at some point.

→The existence of Jinn: 1) I have added in jinn possession as it's own section, as I believe it too be deemed extra contradictory to science than simply jinn existing - going against modern understanding of psychosis responding to medication and therapy. 2) I've also added the words 'and sorcerers' to the magic section to clarify this is magic produced by humans (rather than generic magic caused by God for miracles), and 3) linked onto the scientific miracles section at the end of the page

→The sky/heaven as a guarded ceiling: Corrected spelling and moved out two paragraphs for easier reading :)

→Miracles and myths: I have added the existence of magic into the 'Miracles and myths' section, with a link to the main article on this topic in Wiikislam which elaborates.
+2,079
→Flat Earth: I've added in a brief summary/intro to the brilliant 'Islamic Views on the Shape of the Earth' page - largely to bring attention to the article that might otherwise be missed by people casually scrolling.

→Moon split in two: Added in two short verses showing moon miracle also contradicts other claims in the quran that no miracle would be brought

→The people of Lot as the first homosexuals: Have added in some context on how long humans would have been around without committing any homosexual actions at a minimum for this story to be true (approx. 290,00 years), and cited an easy to read but credible source.
m+126
→Seven Earths: I have added a link to the already created (not by me but other users) 'Science and the Seven Earths' page under the Seven Earths section of this main page, as I believe it's just as relevant as the 'Cosmology of the Qur'an' page, and the most appropriate place to guide users there.

→The people of Sodom as the first homosexuals: Added another verse to confirm what might otherwise seem a doubtful traditional interpretation since fāḥishata can mean immorality in general and the next verse 28:29 lists other stuff too including cutting highways and evil in meetings, so might seem to claim only an unprecedented scale of wrongdoing.
+494
I have added a section to 'Sociology' on the people of Lut being the first homosexuals, linking the main article which dives much deeper into this (and lists the evidence that homosexuality occurs naturally in all populations) - hopefully giving that page more traffic too!

→Meteors as stars fired at devils: I have added in a further relevant quran verse to the 'stars as meteors to throw at devils' section, as well as a relevant hadith
+1,221
→The existence of Jinn: My bad, it's 'sub-heading 1' needed to make it its own section not 3 or 4 - making the change to make it its own sub-section now
m−4
→The existence of Jinn: Have changed the Sub-heading from 4 to 3 to make the new jinn linked section its own section rather than a sub-section of the previous one (done by accident not understanding how the headings worked)
m−2
→Other: I have added a link to the page on Jinn in this section as I certainly believe it is relevant, and will hopefully increase traffic to it :)

→Meteors as stars fired at devils
mNeed to keep these focused on the verses where it is most clearly literally that the heart is a locus of thought. Saw in his heart is too easily dismissed as metaphorical. There are countless verses of that nature (hearts full of doubt etc.).
−121
→Meteors as stars fired at devils: Removed lengthy digression about asteroid belt. 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.
−2,465
→Functions of the heart: Have added another 'Heart/cardio-centric' verse in this paragraph

→Noah's ark holding every species: Just added in the word 'etc.' for clearer context
m+5
→Noah's ark holding every species: I have added a line in adding some more context to Noah's Ark, two of every species section
m+269
→Meteors as stars fired at devils: Added the word 'main' source as technically some are comets - I will update this section further explaining the issues with comets as well :)
m+5
→Meteors as stars fired at devils: Changed spelling mistake, repeated words 'in space' and added some more context around how far asteroids are from each other.
m+260
→Stars:: Removed the 'title' 'Stars' to be a 'paragraph'/normal text as was supposed to be in my previous edit. Apologies! And added a few words about meteors burning up in the atmosphere as there is oxygen there, to clarify a point being made in my previous update. Thank you.
+15
→Meteors as stars fired at devils: I have added more sections explaining the problematic issues of both meteors and stars as a protection against jinn listening into angels meetings, with easy-to-access references applied for scientific knowledge. 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

When adding external links (especially long urls - this time it could be shortened) we usually use the two-part [url title] format rather than bare links. 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.

→Implied similar size and distance of the sun and moon: I have improved the grammar of a previously updated paragraph for this section.
m+116
→Meteors as stars fired at devils: Added a sentence about the challenge of stars being made as a adornment/beauty, when so few are actually visible to us.

→Meteors as stars fired at devils: I have added the relevant quran quotes for stars/shooting stars thrown at devils/jinns
m+631
→Geocentricism: Added one word to make sentence read more effectively.
m+6
→Noah's ark holding every species: rewording sentence slightly to make more sense and not repeat the word 'species' so much
m−2
→Noah's ark holding every species: Have updated the previous 'few hundred thousand' species to the more accurate few 'million' and listed the number of land animals appearing that make Noahs ark story 'difficult' to believe has happened. Sources are now provided for these claims too which weren't previously.
m+834
→Implied similar size and distance of the sun and moon: I have changed a previous 'moon would need to travel 98 million miles' mention to 'tens of millions' as the figure they provided does not have a source, and the figure seemed to contradict NASA (and other sources) that the sun and both Earth and moon are 93 million miles away (so would lie c.41m miles apart). And added sections explaining what would happen should the sun move toward the Earth (on judgement day).
+1,301
→Geocentricism: Added some more context on geocentricism and the sun's final resting place stating this happens after it's joined to the moon with a link to the quran verse
m+79
→Geocentricism: Previously a line simply stated some exegetes had a different interpretation of the sun's resting place verse - however I had added some context of the later tasfirs working with the now accepted astronomers geocentric view of planets orbiting the Earth. References are given where appropriate :)
m+1,464
→The sky/heaven as a guarded ceiling: I have added another more recent example of the skies 'non-protection' in 2013 Russia of meteors going through the atmosphere that is known to have injured humans. The first link is National Geographic confirming the size of the earths atmosphere for context, showing the meteor penetrated it. The second link is to the NASA article about the meteor/event listing the damage caused, which you can see is largely copied from the final paragraph of that page.
