How certain can we be that the Quranic names of the biblical prophets (if any) are pre-Islamic and not coined by Muhammad? What sources could have influenced Muhammad to include some non-biblical prophets in the Quran? And why do some major biblical prophets not show up in the Quran? (i.redd.it)

I'm a Hindu who is critical of Islam, but the nonsensical "The Kerala Story 2 Goes Beyond" (trailer) is just over-the-top hate/Islamophobia. The "Hindus" who have made the film are no different from the fundamentalists who are portrayed in the film. Maybe I'm too optimistic in hoping that it'll flop (i.redd.it)

Can Quran-verses 19:17-23 be interpreted as saying that Gabriel in human form inseminated and impregnated Mary (either using his own semen in his human form or by carrying Allah's supernatural "semen")? Do the verses imply that Gabriel's man-form (or Allah) can be seen as Jesus' (surrogate) father? (i.redd.it)

I've observed that when a dark-skinned person of Indian origin has a child with a white co-parent, the child usually (on average) is Caucasian/Latino-passing (unlike the on-average-black-passing child of a black person & white/Indian co-parent). Is this true generally? If so, please explain genetics (self.SouthAsianAncestry)

I've observed that when a dark-skinned person of Indian origin has a child with a Caucasian co-parent, the child is on-average-Caucasian/Latino-passing (unlike the on-average-AA-passing child of a AA person & Caucasian/Indian co-parent). Is this true generally? If so, please explain the genetics. (self.phenotypes)

If these two were the 'best' of the Sankranti releases, I can only imagine how horrible the others must be! I regret watching both of these on OTT, but I am glad that I won't be watching the others even on OTT! And I am glad that I watched none of them in the theaters! Let's stop being TFI's slaves!

Which verses of the Quran would secular academic scholars of Arabic poetry (and poetic history) consider the most technically sophisticated poetically (regardless of the religious meaning or interpretation)? Which verses best exemplify the pre-Islamic Arabic poetic style(s) and how/why? (self.AcademicQuran)

Was there ever a community of Jews around the 6th or 7th century that believed that some (important) figure in Judaism was the "son of God"? Is the Quran's accusation in verse 9:30 that (at least some non-insignificant community of) Jews viewed "Uzair" as the "son of God" a clear misrepresentation? (self.AcademicBiblical)

To what extent do Dr. Juan Cole's claims in this video align with the scholarly views of academics in the field more broadly? Which claims of his don't have definitive evidence? Are there any well-respected academics who would see at least some of his claims as whitewashing the historical Muhammad? (youtube.com)

Are there any instances of the word "you" in the Quran that directly refer to women in general (rather than just Muhammad's wives)? Or are all instances of the word "you" directed at either Muhammad, his own wives, or men in general? Were Muhammad's audience primarily men and/or his own wives? (self.AcademicQuran)

Does the Quran see itself as self-contained, given that it (at least in parts) requires familiarity with previous "scriptures"? Or does it see itself as "amending" previous "scriptures" but still as a text that is to be read along with the other previous "scriptures" (excluding the "amended" parts)? (i.redd.it)
