What exactly should this article cover up edit
Just like the head, what should this article be about? The Quran has no real narratives and only alludes different stories and legends, implied that the listener knows the Quran talks about. Several legends within the Quran developed different. Further, trying to split the narratives about the Quran, is what Islamic scholars do, and store their thoughts in Qisas Al-Anbiya. Is it even possible that this article could become something else then Original Research? Since the Quran has no legends of its own, the editors would need to decide, there a legend begins, there they end, and how to tell them. I guess this relies to much on interpretations of the readers. A list, should further list several articles about a concept, but this doesn't, since we have not many legends from the Quran, and we do not have article about them, since they do not exist. There are only mentionings of prophets, angels, historical happenings of some battles and so on.--VenusFeuerFalle (talk) 20:37, 8 June 2019 (UTC) Edit: This article fails to meet Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Lists.--VenusFeuerFalle (talk) 20:52, 8 June 2019 (UTC)

Clarification of which legends predate the Quran edit
Particularly in example given of the valley of the ants, a direct comparison is made between the text of the Quran and of Beth ha-Midrasch by Adolf Jellinek (simply referred to as "Jellinek"). The text was written between 1853 and 1878, about 1200 years after the Quran. The article introduction states the Quran contains legends with similar motifs to Christian and Jewish legends which "may pre-date those in the Quran." The language should be made more clear, or the examples should contain more transparent indication of the timelines of the legends, particularly in relation to that of the Quran. 24.243.109.145 (talk) 20:41, 25 May 2020 (UTC)
