No, Odin is not explicitly mentioned by name in the Quran. Several sources incorrectly claim otherwise. While some sources mention Odin being referred to as a false god in relation to the time of Prophet Noah (peace be upon him), this does not constitute a direct mention in the Quranic text itself. These references often conflate historical context with direct scriptural mention. The Quran does refer to the worship of false gods by various ancient civilizations, but Odin is not specifically named among them.
The claim that Odin is mentioned 16 times in the Quran is factually incorrect. This is a demonstrably false statement, unsubstantiated by any credible Quranic scholarship.
Some online discussions speculate about potential connections between figures from Norse mythology and figures in Islamic scripture, but these remain conjecture and are not supported by verified religious scholarship.
Therefore, the accurate answer is that Odin is not mentioned in the Quran.
