{{Quote|{{Quran|34|9}}|See they not what is before them and behind them, of the sky and the earth? If We wished, We could cause the earth to swallow them up, or cause a piece of the sky to fall upon them. Verily in this is a Sign for every devotee that turns to Allah (in repentance).}}

*EDIT* This verse can be understood to mean an earthquake (earth swallowing up) or meteorite (sky falling) - it does not necessarily allude to a literal understanding of the earth swallowing and the sky falling. Recommend either removing or providing an alternative understanding of the meaning.

{{Quote|{{Quran|50|6}}|What, have they not beheld heaven above them, how We have built it, and decked it out fair, '''and it has no cracks'''? And the earth -- We stretched it forth, and cast on it firm mountains, and We caused to grow therein of every joyous kind }}

*EDIT* There are several translators (Pickthall being one of them) that has a different translation to this verse altogether! Here is the verse: Have they not looked at the heaven above them - how We structured it and adorned it and [how] it has no rifts?. Recommend either changing the title of this or removing it altogether. P.S. not having a rift (or crack) also implies something is smooth, and flat, which we now know the universe is flat.

{{Quote|{{Quran|5|116}}|
And behold! Allah will say: "O Jesus the son of Mary! Didst thou say unto men, worship me and my mother as gods in derogation of Allah'?" He will say: "Glory to Thee! never could I say what I had no right (to say). Had I said such a thing, thou wouldst indeed have known it. Thou knowest what is in my heart, Thou I know not what is in Thine. For Thou knowest in full all that is hidden}}

*EDIT* Do Christians not say "oh Mary mother of God"? There's nothing conflicting about the Trinity concept here. Mary is worshiped. Christians say "hail Marys" all the time to atone and get forgiveness for their sins.

*EDIT* this is because translations into other languages are not accurate - as Arabic word have multiple meanings (we can see this today when looking back at translations from greek and aramaic into latin regarding the bible). Also, even if it was for those who speak Arabic, it's not a scientific inaccuracy - but rather a preference.
