Scholars including Geiger (1833) and Sidersky (1933) connect Harut and Marut to the Watcher tradition of 1 Enoch 6-11: divine beings who descend, transmit forbidden knowledge (sorcery, weaponry, cosmetics) to humanity, and whose activity constitutes a cosmic sin. The Babylonian setting of Quran 2:102 parallels the Apkallu tradition. Confidence medium: the Quran does not explicitly call them fallen angels, and the connection to the Watchers is scholarly reconstruction.",SRC_HADITH_GENERAL,reviewed,PER_ISL_EARLY
