Some of these are forms unique to the Qur'an, such as Uzayr. Others, like Yusuf and Sulayman, are Arabic forms that are also used in Arabic Bibles: http://www.copticchurch.net/cgibin/bible/. Also, if I were you, I wouldn't bother to call it the "Islamic Qur'an." "Qur'an" should suffice.

There are still too many errors here. Neither Eve nor Elizabeth are mentioned by name in the Qur'an (check Wikipedia again, which will tell you this, or another source). You could change this to "Can you give English-language Biblical equivalents of these names from Qur'an and Hadith (Islamic tradition)?"

I've made the changes you've requested simply because you're annoying and I'm tired of your whining. If you have any more complaints, create your own damn game.

That sounds like a poor reason to make the changes. I had no evidence until that last comment that you would find my suggestions for refinement to be more annoying than helpful. Nevertheless, 5 globes and a nomination.

I like this one. Wow Dhul-Kilf is Ezekiel? Interesting. Oh, and f*ck Shaytan. By the way, my granpa's name is Ibrahim.
