How are these Judaic?
(I have only reached the end of 3 so far. I may bring up more
queries as I proceed down the document.)

In my view, whenever the Qur'an praises Allah as the 'Lord of
All Worlds' or 'the sole inheritor of the heavens and the
earth', that implies that He created the heavens and the earth,
which is a Judaic belief.

The 'Scripture' mentioned includes the Torah.

With the 'male and female' aside, the Qur'an is acknowledging
gender differences, which was done in the book of Genesis.

"In my view, whenever the Qur'an praises Allah as the 'Lord of
All Worlds' or 'the sole inheritor of the heavens and the
earth', that implies that He created the heavens and the earth,
which is a Judaic belief."
It does not imply what you claim. On the contrary, "inheritor"
implies a time (prior to inheritance) when the world was not yet
ruled by Allah, which would make no sense if Allah was the
creator. Thus it actually implies that someone else (the one
from whom Allah will inherit the world) is the creator.
"The 'Scripture' mentioned includes the Torah."
Where is this explicitly stated? If it is in another verse, then
that verse could have been added, which does not invalidate this
one.
"With the 'male and female' aside, the Qur'an is acknowledging
gender differences, which was done in the book of Genesis."
I also acknowledge gender differences. You cannot cure a disease
without first acknowledging it! That verse is merely saying that
being victims of this disease will not prevent us from being
treated fairly during judgement.
Before I continue checking, would you mind removing all verses
lower down the document which you have included based on the
same reasoning under which you included the verses above, and
then posting an updated version of the document? Thanks.

Done. You can use the same link I used previously; Google

Also, you still haven't removed the following verses which I
explicitly pointed out previously:

Most Compassionate, Most Merciful,’

I will continue checking after these have been removed.

Done, but I just want you to know that you're allowing Judaic
passages in the Qur'an. Qur'an 3:48 says so:
--- Quote ---
> Ayat 48-50: ‘48. “And God will teach him writing and wisdom,
the Torah and the Gospel, 49. and make him a messenger to the
Children of Israel to proclaim, ‘I have come to you with a sign
from your Lord: I will make for you a bird from clay, breathe
into it, and it will become a real bird—by God’s Will. I will
heal the blind and the leper and raise the dead to life—by God’s
Will. And I will prophesize what you eat and store in your
houses. Surely in this is a sign for you if you truly believe.
50. And I will confirm the Torah revealed before me and legalize
some of what had been forbidden to you. I have come to you with
a sign from your Lord, so be mindful of God and obey me.’

So I am not asking you to keep this verse:
--- Quote ---
> Ayat 48-50: ‘48. “And God will teach him writing and wisdom,
the Torah
--- End Quote ---
but having removed this verse, a verse such as:
--- Quote ---
> Ayah 79: ‘It is not appropriate for someone who God has
blessed with the Scripture
--- End Quote ---
is fine because there is now no verse that implies "Scripture"
refers to the Torah. Get it?
Moving on:
--- Quote ---
> Ayah 44: ‘Have you O Prophet not seen those who were given a
portion of the Scriptures yet trade it for misguidance and wish
to see you deviate from the Right Path?’
--- End Quote ---
Same thing. Please remove this and all others lower down in the
document that you previously included on account of the term
"Scripture" alone.
