Many reported settlements in Arabia are listed and the academic sources are cited (themselves taken from an academic book). Tag: Visual edit

- 19:5819:58, 21 February 2024 diff hist +3,187 Scientific Miracles in the Quran Added the points that A) classical exegetes/scholars in Islam's 'golden age' of science never claimed any scientific foreknowledge even as discoveries were made many centuries prior to modern times - and added an academic reference (Ahmad Dallal's book) of a book covering this topic of the historical view. And B) In many cases the Quran has been used to fight against established scientific facts, and still is today, which goes strongly against the idea of a book of scientific foreknowledge.

Also something happened with my last update sorry! The page seems to have gone strange and I can't edit it. The 'See Also' section has two equals signs, and the pervious text in this section can't be clicked on or edited (everywhere else on the page is fine for me though). Thank you. Tag: Visual edit

Also got rid off the Arabic on an Earth hadith to save space. With this 'heavens' section expanding it might be worth changing the page title to include 'and the seven heavens' (which I can't edit myself)? Thanks. Tag: Visual edit
