, 28 September 2023→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

{{Quote|{{quran|2|275}}|Those who exact usury will not stand but like <b>one deranged by the Devil’s touch.</b> That is because they say, ‘Trade is just like usury.’ While Allah has allowed trade and forbidden usury. Whoever relinquishes [usury] on receiving advice from his Lord shall keep [the gains of] what is past, and his matter will rest with Allah. As for those who resume, they shall be the inmates of the Fire and they shall remain in it [forever].}} | |||

I found (there) a woman ruling over them and provided with every requisite; and she has a magnificent throne.}} | And he took a muster of the Birds; and he said: "Why is it I see not the Hoopoe?
