• curprev 22:3722:37, 5 November 2024‎ CPO675 talk contribs‎ m 70,493 bytes +420‎ →‎The heavens and the Earth: Added a few of the Arabic terms, mostly to clarify that paradise 'jannah' is different to the heavens as the skies 'samaa2' which is a mistake I see made often online.

18 October 2023

• curprev 12:2312:23, 18 October 2023‎ Lightyears talk contribs‎ 42,823 bytes −369‎ 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. Tag: Manual revert [automatically checked]

As well as explicitly stating the scientific errors of it. Tags: Reverted Visual edit
