Removal of bias in ‘history’

I am supposing the removal of

The final verse of the Quran was revealed on the 18th of the Islamic month of Dhu al-Hijjah in the year 10 A.H., a date that roughly corresponds to February or March 632. The verse was revealed after the Prophet finished delivering his sermon at Ghadir Khumm.’

It is unreferenced and is not written from an unbiased and historical perspective; assuming the supernatural. It should be rewritten removing the factual presentation of ‘revealed’. MightyPoof (talk) 10:29, 1 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

MightyPoof,
The Companions of Muhammad, along with his wife, all witnessed the revelation, making it a referenced event. I believe that we should write this article from the perspective of Islamic tradition. Instead of completely removing the word "revealed", we could change the sentence to "The final verse of the Quran **is believed** to be revealed..." to make the article more unbiased.

I've made a slight error. My apologies. I meant to say that we could change the aforementioned sentence to, "In Islamic tradition, the final verse of the Quran..."

In Islam, God is referred to as Allah (ﷲ). Instead of using the word "God", I believe we should change the name to Allah.

I think you should make a case at Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style/Islam-related articles#Allah v God: just wondering.... This does not seem to be an article issue, but since it concerns MOS, it should be discussed there. StephenMacky1 (talk) 20:19, 24 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Allah/illah is just a Arabic Language for English translations for "The God", it's just a same English is a International Language so it doesn't matter, While you're saying it is a name NO. The God doesn't have a name nor unknown it should be a Title Just like us a Human we categorize as BEING like animals too, If I am lived in Arab states and I speak the literally Arabic Language I can formerly use that as what you're referred to... The God. I hope this answer your question! 182.255.43.48 (talk) 17:52, 29 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
In truth, the situation is a bit more complicated. Various Islamic scholars have different opinions on if Allah should be translated into God in English. For more information, see Alturki (2021).[1]Howard🌽33 20:52, 24 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned references in Quran

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Quran's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "Robinson":

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. Feel free to remove this comment after fixing the refs. AnomieBOT 08:46, 7 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
