Sorry for the late notice, but this article is supposed to be included in [[Wikipedia:Selected anniversaries/August 30|August 30]], but it looks like it will be omitted due to lack of references (the "Practice by country" section looks problematic—also note that it wasn't me who added the refimprove tag). Hopefully y'all can clean this up in two days.

== Article needed? ==

I've recently done some minor copyediting on a couple of Islamic schools, and have come across the term "Nazra" to describe one of the subjects they teach. It appears to be related to the Quran in some way, but I can't find any information on it (besides the fact that courses in it appears to be offered very widely). We don't have a [[Nazra]] article; is it a topic of sufficient note that we need one? I for one would like to know what it is!

If someone here feels inclined to help, there's a minor dispute on whether [[Nasrid]] rulers styled themselves sultans or not (regardless of whether Western sources called them that). Someone with Arabic skills and willing to look in non-Western sources would best suited in this case.

== [[Al-Muzzammil]] ==

I'm of the opinion that this and any similar articles should be taken to AfD if all they are just going to be copies of the verses (even if there is an English translation accompanying them). Can anyone point to policy or guideline reasons they should be kept? [[User:Dougweller|Dougweller]] ([[User talk:Dougweller|talk]]) 17:50, 15 September 2011 (UTC)

: Sounds right. We don't have copies of all verses of the bible, or even (AFAIK) articles about important verses. Do we? I see we have, eg, [[Vayikra (parsha)]] but that is full of commentary [[User:William M. Connolley|William M. Connolley]] ([[User talk:William M. Connolley|talk]]) 19:03, 15 September 2011 (UTC)

== Abdul Muttalib (grandfather of Muhammad) ==

There is a pretty bad spelling error there. The article is misspelled called [[Abdul Mutallib]] (one t two ls). The problem is the correct spelling, [[Abdul Muttalib]], is a disambiguation page. I can see two options:
(1) rename it to '''Abdul Muttalib (grandfather of Muhammad)''' (this is the easiest fix but maybe not the best).
(2) take the namespace at [[Abdul Muttalib]] and rename [[Abdul Muttalib]] to [[Abdul Muttalib (disambiguation)]]. This should be done if this person is far and away the most famous "Abdul Muttalib". The problem is I don't know enough about Islam to make that decision.
So, those who know more about this than me... what should it be renamed to? [[User:Adpete|Adpete]] ([[User talk:Adpete|talk]]) 01:31, 17 October 2011 (UTC)

I intend to rename:
* [[Abdul Muttalib]] to [[Abdul Muttalib (disambiguation)]] (the latter has a single line history so this is safe)
and then
* [[Abdul Mutallib]] to [[Abdul Muttalib]]
[[User:Adpete|Adpete]] ([[User talk:Adpete|talk]]) 10:19, 17 October 2011 (UTC)

: The standard approach, based on looking at other pages, is to use [[Abdul Muttalib (name)]]. See for example, [[Muhammad (name)]], [[Abdullah (name)]].[[User:Wiqi55|<b style="color:#4682B4;">Wiqi</b>]]<sup>([[User talk:Wiqi55|<span style="color:#99BADD;">55</span>]])</sup> 10:27, 17 October 2011 (UTC)

::For full names (as opposed to single names), "disambiguation" is the WP standard, e.g. [[John Howard (disambiguation)]]. But whether we use "(name)" or "(disambiguation)" is a minor issue (and easily fixed by redirects). My main question is whether it's OK to have the grandfather of Muhammad as the main [[Abdul Muttalib]]. He is certainly the main one if I judge by incoming links at the disambiguation page [[Abdul Muttalib]]. [[User:Adpete|Adpete]] ([[User talk:Adpete|talk]]) 11:00, 17 October 2011 (UTC)
::: I think his grandfather qualifies as the most notable "Abdul Muttalib". Also "(name)" should be preferred since "Abdul Muttalib" is a single name.

== Islam and Domestic Violence ==

I believe that WikiProject Islam has several informative subpages and legitimate information. However, I believe that overall it lacks various contrasting viewpoints about disputations in Islam. There are several stereotypes and issues society does not fully comprehend about the religion, such as women's roles and domestic violence. Specifically, I propose to expand on knowledge about Islamic women who are victims of domestic violence in various countries in a subpage of WikiProject Islam. I will be updating and expanding an existing article on Wikipedia called “Islam and domestic violence.” Topics that will be covered in our revised page will be: the definition of domestic violence, a general overview of Islamic and it’s effect on women, honor-related violence, current attitudes towards violence in Islamic countries, individual and community-level violence, and possible solutions to put an end to domestic violence. I plan to also write about interpretations of the Qur'an and how several interpretations dispute each other.

== [[Muhammad]], visual depictions and the sore need for expert commentary ==

At AN/I there is currently a discussion that relates to whether or not it is appropriate or accurate/educational to have depictions of [[Muhammad]] throughout that entry. For the AN/I discussion see - [[Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard/Incidents#User_talk:Ludwigs2_on_Talk:Muhammad.2Fimages|HERE]]. For the discussion at the entry talk page see - [[Talk:Muhammad/images]]. The reason I'm posting here is that I'm surprised by some of the comments being made by various contributors. For instance, just now I was told that [[Muhammad]] is ''not'' a religious article, it is merely a biography. I clearly disagree completely. This discussion is in sore need of knowledgeable commentators. Cheers.[[User:Griswaldo|Griswaldo]] ([[User talk:Griswaldo|talk]]) 18:28, 4 November 2011 (UTC)

== Abd Allah ibn Hijazi al-Sharqawi ==

[[Abd Allah ibn Hijazi al-Sharqawi]] was apparently a Khalwati sufi scholar around 1800.  The article's pretty terrible and stubby, and I'm not sure it actually establishes notability at the moment.  But I'm more concerned about the birth year listed here.  I have pretty serious reservations about the editor who added it (I just sent the two articles he created to AFD as probably hoaxes), and I'm having trouble finding confirmation in anything that's not a Wikipedia mirror.  But I have poor availability of reference material that would cover 19th century Egyptian Islamic scholars to begin with.  Could anyone with better resources take a peek?

:Dear Ossifrage, I am also not sure whether he's enough notable or no. He was a scholar of Al-Azhar. Google search gives almost half a million result for his name (using Arabic script).

::Hrm.  Well, as I suspected, the English article's birth year was a problem.  The Arabic Wikipedia has him born in 1150 AH.  Unless I'm really bad at this, that's more like 1737 than 1759, and I've adjusted our article to match the Arabic one, which I have more faith in.  With that many results from Google, I'm inclined to think there's sourcing possible out there.  I'm sort of out of my element here, so improvements are probably going to have to come from someone else, but I won't try to hit the article up for deletion or anything.  Thanks for the help.

If anyone here is active, I could use some help at [[Talk:Ali]].  Two editors are arguing about...well, I'm not entirely sure.  I think about how to spell or describe Ali and/or his father in English, along with a lot of other details.  Part of the discussion revolves around Arabic sources, which I cannot read and thus have no useful input on.  Additionally, there are concerns about what constitutes a primary source and what constitutes a secondary source, and how to interact with both.

::This sounds like it could be one of the ahadith here [http://www.inter-islam.org/hadeeth/st55.html], in Tirmidhi's Shamaa-il. ([http://www.inter-islam.org/hadeeth/st55arabic.html Arabic]), e.g. 391, 394, 395 etc. But do any of these use the word hilya in the Arabic original? I've been told (over on German Wikipedia) that they do not, and that it's something of a mystery why some recent and older writers have translated such passages (if these are indeed the ahadith concerned) using the word "hilye", if the Arabic word "hilya" does not occur in the Arabic original of the ahadith.
::As far as I can tell at the moment, there seems to be some confusion between Turkish and Arabic language usage. In Turkish, hilya or hilye is used to denote a short, telegrammatic text describing the physical appearance and character of an esteemed person, above all of course the Prophet himself. Turkish calligraphists will say that there are hilyes (verbal descriptions) of Moses, Jesus, Abu Bakr and many other such persons, using this as a technical term to denote the type of short descriptive texts that they use for hilye calligraphy (or even sometimes inscribed on a rose, apparently). However, in Arabic, I'm told by Arabic speakers over on German Wikipedia, hilya does not have that meaning, i.e. it does ''not'' denote a literary genre consisting of short descriptive texts. Of course such descriptions exist in the ahadith and elsewhere, but there is no literary category label in Arabic calling such texts "hilyas". The ''Hilyat al-Awliya’'' by Abu Nu’aym, for example, does not consist of such texts. It is simply a collection of biographies. 
::It's come up because the alleged references by the Prophet to "my hilye" in the ahadith has obviously played a role in the reception of [[hilya]] calligraphy in the Ottoman Empire, leading to the viewing of hilyes being considered as a mystical way of "seeing" the prophet in one's mind's eye (as in a dream), with the attendant benefits for one's soul. The missing link is how the Prophet's statements on a believer seeing him in a dream came to be reassigned to mean a believer reading a (calligraphic) description of his appearance (as in [http://www.faruktaskale.com/hilye-i-serife-the-charactrestics-of-the-prophet-muhammed Taskale's version of the hadith], clearly referring to a written document).

== Quran (belief and consideration) ==

In wikipedia article regarding [[Quran]], there is a sentence that says: "...which Muslims consider the verbatim word of God...". The issue is no Muslim only "considers" the Quran to be the verbatim word of God, rather Muslims "[http://wordnetweb.princeton.edu/perl/webwn?c=0&sub=Change&o2=&o0=1&o8=1&o1=1&o7=&o5=&o9=&o6=&o3=&o4=&i=-1&h=0000000000&s=considered consider] and [[believe]]" (which is the closest interpretation of Arabic word ايمان/عقيده) it to be the verbatim word of God. And this is also supported by the definitions of the two terms, [http://wordnetweb.princeton.edu/perl/webwn?c=0&sub=Change&o2=&o0=1&o8=1&o1=1&o7=&o5=&o9=&o6=&o3=&o4=&i=-1&h=0000000000&s=considered consider] and [[belief]]. so the sentence should be changed to "...which Muslims [http://wordnetweb.princeton.edu/perl/webwn?c=0&sub=Change&o2=&o0=1&o8=1&o1=1&o7=&o5=&o9=&o6=&o3=&o4=&i=-1&h=0000000000&s=considered consider] and [[believe]] to be the verbatim word of God..." please refer to the definitions of the two terms. The word [http://wordnetweb.princeton.edu/perl/webwn?c=0&sub=Change&o2=&o0=1&o8=1&o1=1&o7=&o5=&o9=&o6=&o3=&o4=&i=-1&h=0000000000&s=considered consider] implies that the quran is "thought/regarded/treated as opinion" to be the verbatim word of God, and this thought may or may not represent the firm [[belief]] that is required and is the basic criterion for one to be a Muslim, on the other hand the word "[[belief]]" represents the notion of a strong psychological state in which the proposition or premise is held true, which in this case is the [[belief]] for [[Quran]] being the verbatim word of God. [[User:Moughera|Moughera]] ([[User talk:Moughera|talk]]) 07:49, 31 December 2011 (UTC)
:You should bring this up on [[Talk:Quran]], where other editors of the article can see it.  In my opinion, consider is actually a stronger word than believe, as believe implies a lack of certainty, while consider basically means "think, substantially"...but it's editors at [[Talk:Quran]] who will ultimately make the decision.

== [[Honor killing]] article unbalanced? ==

I was quite annoyed in the past that the [[Gender apartheid]] article was unbalanced to point of being an attack on the Muslim religion, especially since there already was a long article on [[Sex segregation in Islam]].  I got some really nasty harassment from a series of sock puppets over more than a month for removing excessive material and including more balanced material. I see much of the same problem at [[Honor killing]] where excessive material could be cut and more added about other ethnic and religious groups where this has happened. 

I've discussed this at the Feminist Wikiproject since feminists don't like to see these type of articles possibly hijacked for other POV purposes. I've added one thing and will add another when get a chance. But I'm not as likely to try to cut as much excess material in that article. So if people interested in this topic think there is just too much POV pushing in the article - including ala [[http://www.israelnationalnews.com/Articles/Article.aspx/10176#.TwKI8vLhcqM this article] which explicitly does so - they might go to NPOV Noticeboard or otherwise edit and/or comment on the talk page.

== Top-priority articles? ==

The Lindsay Jones ''Encyclopedia of Religion'', and its earlier edition edited by Mircea Eliade, has been counted as the standard reference work in the field of religion. I have gotten together a list of the articles, all of them of some substantial length and most if not all with individual reference sections, at [[User:John Carter/Religion articles]]. I believe that the default idea of a "Top" priority article is an article that any encyclopedia should have. Considering this encyclopedia is allegedly the best in the religion field, I think it makes sense to include the articles they have as "Top" priority. Also, considering most if not all of those articles are directly relevant, in some way, to "religion" as a whole, I believe it would make sense to tag at least those articles with the "WikiProject Religion" banner as well, with top priority assessment.

== Need Qu'ran verse citation for WP Equine ==

Hi, hoping someone here can help me with a verse about horses claimed to be from the Qu'ran.  I've seen multiple English variants, usually claimed as myths, but basically it is about Allah creating the horse from the wind (which direction varies with who is telling the tale, and sometimes all four winds are included) and saying he will give it "flight without wings" or "to fly without wings."  This quote is used and misused across many, many articles about the [[Arabian horse]], and I would be delighted beyond words if anyone can verify 1) whether such a statement even is in the Qu'ran, and if so, where; and 2) if it is, what IS the most accurate English translation? or if not, is it some sort of legitimate Islamic tale or mythical story and is there a verifiable source for this?

== Ahmadiyya ==

I am relatively new to Wikipedia and trying to learn all of the etiquettes etc...I have tried to address the Bias in the [[Ahmadiyya]] page but unfortunately I believe that people motivated by bias are seeking to keep a fringe opinion as the main opinion on the article. For a minor edit that I had tried to make i.e to change the statement to "self identify" I have met with a wall of rejection by two prolific wiki-contributers. One is Ahmadiyya [[Peaceworld111]] himself and whilst a respected wikipedia contributor has a vested interest in not maintaining the balance of the page.
The other simply reverted every change that I had made. I questioning the selective referencing used in the opening line of the page.  One quotation is from the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community which whilst biased I am happy to accept. The other is from an author who spent time with the Ahmadiyya community in England. I raised the issue that throughout his book he had cited that Muslim opinion was that the [[Ahmadiyya]] were not Muslim and therefore to quote his singular statement whilst ignoring his own referencing of the fact mainstream Islam consider the Ahmadiyya to be none Muslim is biased. http://books.google.co.uk/books/about/Islam_and_the_Ahmadiyya_Jama%CA%BBat.html?id=Q78O1mjX2tMC. I sought to resolve this issue by adding the statement that they self identify as an Islamic Reformist movement or alternatively to find an alternative opening quotation. All were met with firm refusals and a denial of any bias.
Either way a fringe theory should not start an article as its prime quotation. If the other quotation is from the community itself then it supports the statement of self identification which I have put across ([[User:Steeringly|Steeringly]] ([[User talk:Steeringly|talk]]) 09:59, 30 June 2012 (UTC))
:I am not sure that we have a fringe issue here, so much as a conflict between two religious opinions. I would have thought that the view that Ahmadiyaa are not Muslim is significant enough to be mentioned. Maybe not in the lead, but in a separate section.

I wasnt particularly pushing an opinion that they are not Muslim the title of the section is misleading. I was simply trying to raise the issue that it was their self identification that categorises them as Muslim as generally Muslims reject their beliefs as heretical. The reason I feel that it is a fringe issue is because the work cited as evidence of the Ahmadiyyah being an Islamic reformist movement is a fringe opinion and therefore should be correctly categorised as self identification by the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community.

But to see this discussion in full see [[WP:Talk:Ahmadiyya#Suggestion for Removal of Islamic from the title.]] Steeringly does not want the article to say that this is an Islamic movement. We've had a number of IP editors removing Islamic from the description, or adding 'non' so it says non-Islamic, even to the extent of changing the title of a book. Now I understand that most of Islam does not consider this group to be Islamic, but that's not the way Wikipedia works when describing religions. Wikipedia cannot decide that people who consider themselves to be Islamic or not Islamic. We represent the relgion's viewpoint and we can then present the opinions of those who disagree.

:: This is not just a self-identity, but a disputed one. Thus calling Ahmadiyya an "Islamic reform movement", with no attribution clause and no second opinion, suggests that we have taken sides in a dispute. For a similar example, we have plenty of historical figures that have self identified as "prophet of God", a religious claim, but we don't usually repeat such claims without qualification.

Thats factually incorrect Dougweller if you follow the discussion we had identified the right to self identify. Initially I felt the opinion you expressed but after discussion it became evident that I needed to examine the issue further. I did and observed bias and thought it appropriate to point it out. I settled on what I thought was an appropriate adjustment which was unfairly rejected. ([[User:Steeringly|Steeringly]] ([[User talk:Steeringly|talk]]) 15:54, 30 June 2012 (UTC))

So what is the outcome of this? Should it be changed to religious reformist movement? I believe it's time to stop the militant protection of a page which should be allowed to be changed legitimately. Of course stopping all those who are trying to make unfair amendments just like any other page.  ([[User:Steeringly|Steeringly]] ([[User talk:Steeringly|talk]]) 16:12, 30 June 2012 (UTC))

I have suggested some amendments on the ((Ahmadiyya))talk page. I would welcome contribution and opinion ([[User:Steeringly|Steeringly]] ([[User talk:Steeringly|talk]]) 18:14, 30 June 2012 (UTC))
== New article: [[List of first mosques by country]] ==

I recently ran across mention of the "first mosque built" for a given location, so thought it would be interesting to have a list of when/where the first mosque was built for various countries: [[List of first mosques by country]]. It's been relatively easy to find citations thus far (although in some cases I have trouble finding an extant Wikipedia article on a given mosque). I'd appreciate any help in adding countries to the list! [[User:MatthewVanitas|MatthewVanitas]] ([[User talk:MatthewVanitas|talk]]) 17:07, 2 July 2012 (UTC)

== Possible goals for 2013 ==

This is probably more than a bit presumptuous on my part, but I have started a discussion at [[Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Religion#Goals for 2013?]] asking what if any sort of goals we might be able to reasonably set for the next year, in wikipedia and other WF sites as well. I figured the wikipedia probably gets more attention, which is why I started the discussion there. But I would be very interested in seeing any input regarding what the editors here think might be the areas here most in need or meriting additional attention. Maybe, and at this point it is just a maybe, maybe we might be able to get some input on such topics if we have some idea what it is we really need to work on.

== Possible "Core" Islam articles, and perhaps some important articles to focus on, maybe of "Top" importance? ==

Over at the Christianity WikiProject, there has been for some time a "Core topics" list within the project of the 100 or so most important articles to that topic. Given the number of variant trends and traditions within Islam, I think it might be useful to develop such a "core list" here as well, if the others here thought that would be helpful. I tend to think that the articles relating to Islam in the recent, highly-regarded "Encyclopedia of Religion" are probably among the most important articles relating to Islam, given that those articles are among those included in what is generally regarded as one of the better, more comprehensive sources on the broader topic of "religion". The listing of the articles to be found in that source which it indicates relate to Islam can be found at [[User:John Carter/Religion articles#Islam]]. Also, I have recently gone through the rather highly regarded reference work "Islam A to Z" and found the following substantial articles in that source:

I will be the first to acknowledge that there are almost certainly significant variant spellings in the titles of the articles in that book, and that some of those articles have titles which are rather broader than would be allowed here. The article "Education" there would probably be [[Education in Islam]] or something similar here. But, if someone wanted to go through the list and check for variant spellings and alternative titles for the above, I think it might be reasonable that many of the articles included in the EoR might be "Core" to Islam, and many of the others in the "Islam A to Z" of the "Top" importance to Islam and the other related WikiProjects and work groups.

== "Islamic Views of XYZ" requested moves ==

A user wanted to do what appeared to me to be not an obviously uncontroversial move/rename.  I directed them to [[WP:RM]].  They have now filed several move requests for renaming "Islamic Views of XYZ" articles.  That's all very good.  But beyond my misgivings about the first one, which focused more on issues of which article is properly the Primary Topic for his desired article name, I know very little about the article naming conventions of Islam articles.  So I figured I would give an alert/heads-up here so that those who *do* have such knowledge can jump into the RM debates, on one side or the other.  Debates that I can find include:
# [[Talk:Islamic views on Abraham]]
# [[Talk:Islamic view of Noah]] - the one that originally brought me into the middle of all this.
# [[Talk:Islamic view of Moses]]
# [[Talk:Islamic view of Jacob]]
# He wants to move [[Islamic view of Lot]] as well.  I'm going to decline the CSD of the target, and ask him to file a RM on that one as well. - [[User:TexasAndroid|TexasAndroid]] ([[User talk:TexasAndroid|talk]]) 17:16, 13 December 2012 (UTC)

Please...the part of of the blue referenced test where Muhammed contemplated and then sought to help with women's rights is maybe under the context of a 12th century Arab...maybe understood..but in the context of reality..then and now...the Quaran is very oppressive of women...unless you like complete veils, the husband can easily divorce you without due process, stoned for an impropriety, etc.

The Prophet had and has done very little to enhance women's rights or to protect from their abuse.

== Proposed New Article: Female Labor Force Participation in Muslim Countries ==

I propose to write an article providing a variety of statistics on female participation in the formal economic system of predominately Muslim countries. Some of the indicators that would be included in the article are: female labor force participation rate, female employment rate subdivided into full and part-time employment, unemployment rate, employment by sector and age, duration of employment, types of jobs women hold, advancement opportunities (how many women hold executive jobs in the nation's biggest companies), and wage disparity with men. These indicators would provide a somewhat comprehensive but accessible look into the economic life of women in Muslim countries. This topic is clearly relevant to Islam as it discusses the aggregate role women in playing in one of the most important social institutions in their respective Muslim nations. This article will flush out more information on the economic contribution women make to and the economic opportunities may have/are taking advantage of in Muslim majority nations. Cross-comparisons across nation and Islamic sect would be a valuable use of this proposed article's information. An article on the presence of women in the labor force of Muslim nations would provide interesting data for users interested in the development of Muslim women within predominately Muslim societies. It has also received little attention, from what I can tell, on Wikipedia. Centralizing this data in one article would enable users to glean an important overview of women's role in the formal economy of several Muslim nations. The nations I propose to present in this article are: Egypt, Syria, Iran, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Nigeria, Tunisia, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Turkey, Bangladesh, and Indonesia. These nations were chosen because they are all majority-Muslim nations (50%+), are prominent and, mostly, populous Muslim nations, and provide at least some regional representation of the Muslim world. Data on these nations, for the most part, is plentiful as compared with other Muslim nations. Some of the sources of information I have found are the World Bank Group, the International Labor Organization, UNESCAP, SESRIC, and a few articles on development from various journals such as the ''International Journal of Sociology of the Family.'' Is this a topic that should be included in the Wikiproject: Economics? What other details should be included in the article? What other sources of information should I cite?

Hi all, the article [[Quran and violence]] has a line that's referenced poorly, but I'm a bit out of my league on this topic.

== Revising the Purdah Article ==

I would like to revise the Wikipedia page on Purdah. Currently, the page needs improvement: the article is flagged for needing “additional citations for verification”. It is very short,  lacking in in detail, credible sources, and citations. Right now the definition of purdah relies on  an Eurocentric Greco-Roman historian’s description. The tone of the article lacks credibility. Its assertions are overly simplistic and makes claims with bare-boned citation. The article does not address the historical, religious, or cultural origins, or the influence of class, nationality, economic shifts, Islamization of the state, or women’s personal choices-- all sub-topics I plan to add to the article. Currently the article is poorly organized.  In addition, the article uses a biased, Western-centric point of view. In all, this page is currently biased, unsystematic, unorganized, and lacks in research.

Purdah is a very important topic that warrants a well-written article. The purdah has wide-ranging ramifications for millions of women around the world. Purdah takes forms in women’s dress, behavior and institutional rights in terms of access to resources and mobility. Given the multitude of perspectives (sociological, human rights, economic, political, historical, religious, gender rights, etc) a neutral and comprehensive exploration of this topic is very much needed to present an unbiased picture for this tradition.  I hope to improve upon it by increasing the thoroughness in research, comprehensiveness in content and analysis, clear organization, neutral tone of voice, number of citations from credible sources (academic articles from journals on Asian history, women's studies, sociology, anthropology, etc), inclusion of appropriate pictures, and the degree to which it is imbedded within the Wikipedia universe by linking to other relevant pages.

I'd love to hear any suggestions and comments you might have!

== Critique on the Article - ISSUES with Facts in the Article : Muqatta'at ==

I am new to this but here it goes. I just read explanation of Muqatta'at on wikipedia. I found following issues:

'''Wordings Used in the Article:'''
Such as the sentence used in the second paragraph: ''"Other names include the broken, dis-joined, initial, or isolated letters of the Qur'an".''
'''Issue:''' 
The above sentence used in the description is very misleading and doesnt make any sense. Please make sure that you are getting it right. If English is not your first language, please use help to explain what you mean by broken.

'''Similar Issues - Wording Used:'''
First Paragraph - Under 'Modern research' Heading: ''"Arabs once used such letters in their poetry, it was only appropriate for the Qur'an to use that same style."''
'''Issue:'''
Quran doesnt take advise from cultures that existed or will exist. Arabic was given to mankind so that Quran will be given in a language that people can understand. We cant make assumptions like these about concepts of Islam unless we can get evidence from Hadith or Quran itself.

'''Information about Muqatta'at in the Article (named 'Muqatta'at) is Using too Many Assumptions:'''
The meaning of these letters (in the beginning of the these Surahs) are not known because Allah kept it from mankind on purpose. Most scholars are divided about the reason/s for why we are not given the meanings of these letters. Beyond that since we know for sure that Allah on purpose kept the meaning from us, therefore, there is no point in getting confused about what they may mean. Article uses a lot of maybe scenarios. Please do not use assumptions when you are describing Islamic concepts which are then read my millions of people.  

It is also said by the author that Companions of Prophet Muhammad (May Allah's blessings be on him and his ayal) didn't ask any questions about these letters. Did the Author go through all the Hadiths to make such conclusion? Explanation about these words is very clear, that is mankind is not given their meaning on purpose and its Allah's decision. 

'''Please state Hadiths or Ayats whenever you make statements about Islam; this way we can be sure that the author/s are stating facts and not fiction.'''

I do think that having such information readily available will possibly not only make it easier to determine some factors like weight and "fringeiness", but also maybe make it easier for newer editors who are interested in a topic but don't know much about it to perhaps be able to find something that they can help develop. Having said that, I don't know the language very well, and I would appreciate it if anyone more familiar with the topic might help review to see if there are any typos, maybe create redirects, and suchlike. I am still going through additional reference works on all religions, and will probably be adding similar lists from those works as I complete them.

== A few pages that need some help ==

FYI...the [[Civilization Jihad]] page is in need of a lot of neutral editing. It's been in need of editing for a while now, but I haven't had the time to delve into it in a real, fair manner. Maybe someone affiliated with this project can help?

I also created the [[Masjid As-Salafi]] mosque (in the UK) page a while back as well, since it was on the "most wanted" Wikipedia page listing ([[Wikipedia:Most wanted articles]]). Maybe someone affiliated with this project knows some more about it and can help improve that page as well?

== Ãrchitect of Baiturrahman Grand Mosque in Banda Aceh ==

The architect of the Baiturrahman Grand Mosque 1879-1881 in Banda Aceh was not Italian, nor French.... he was Dutch, and he was my great-grandfather Gerrit Bruins (first name: Gerrit. Last/family name: Bruins) who worked for the (Dutch colonialist)Department of Water and Public works in Batavia. He was born in 1834 in Zwolle, Netherlands and died in 1920 in Magelang.

== Islam and Freemasonry ==

I suggest editors with a good background in the history of Islam in relation to groups like Freemasonry keep an eye on the [[Freemasonry]] article, particularly the section on "Islam and Freemasonry," which up to now consisted solely of totally unreliable primary sources, original research, and questionable claims being used to forward a blatant anti-Muslim bias, e.g. correlating opposition to Freemasonry in Muslim countries with anti-Semitism and anti-Zionism. I have removed most of the offending material, none of which was sourced properly (mostly either unsourced or using primary self-published sources and one newspaper article having nothing to do with Freemasonry and Islam), but as I was reverted once for attempting to clean up that section, it could end up becoming a contentious issue, particularly if other editors are insisting on anti-Muslim POV pushing. [[User:Laval|Laval]] ([[User talk:Laval|talk]]) 00:09, 25 August 2013 (UTC)
:And you assume the editors are at fault for the nature of the information that was locatable?  That material has been there, with sources, for years.  If someone can find something else, great, but you didn't do that, and you ended up adding a lot of weasel words and totally changed the paragraph's viewpoint, all without citing sources yourself.

== concern about editor removing Islamic content ==

The latest example of [[User:Adjwilley]] removing Islamic content is [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Prophet&diff=576659803&oldid=576480038 this] where he moves it down. Previous examples include [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Eve_%28disambiguation%29&diff=prev&oldid=537159447], [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Adam_and_Eve_%28disambiguation%29&diff=prev&oldid=553817333]. This editor obviously feels strongly about religion as is evident by this being his main topic of editing. The fact that this editor does not edit with the same standards towards christianity tells me that this editor may have a bias against Islam. For example he removes Muhammad from the [[prophet]] page lead, but doesn't remove Jesus from the [[Messiah]] lead - isn't that fishy? He also edits political articles which are somewhat related to Islam. This message was meant as a simple heads up.

== Popular pages tool update ==


As of January, the popular pages tool has moved from the Toolserver to [[Wikipedia:Wikimedia Labs|Wikimedia Tool Labs]]. The code has changed significantly from the Toolserver version, but users should notice few differences. Please take a moment to look over your project's list for any anomalies, such as pages that you expect to see that are missing or pages that seem to have more views than expected. Note that unlike other tools, this tool aggregates all views from redirects, which means it will typically have higher numbers. (For January 2014 specifically, 35 hours of data is missing from the WMF data, which was approximated from other dates. For most articles, this should yield a more accurate number. However, a few articles, like ones featured on the Main Page, may be off).

Web tools, to replace the ones at [[tools:~alexz/pop]], will become available over the next few weeks at [[toollabs:popularpages]]. All of the historical data (back to July 2009 for some projects) has been copied over. The [[toollabs:popularpages/view.php|tool to view historical data]] is currently partially available (assessment data and a few projects may not be available at the moment). The tool to add new projects to the bot's list is also available [[toollabs:popularpages/config.php|now]] (editing the configuration of current projects coming soon). Unlike the previous tool, all changes will be effective immediately. [[mw:Help:OAuth|OAuth]] is used to authenticate users, allowing only regular users to make changes to prevent abuse. A visible history of configuration additions and changes is coming soon. Once tools become fully available, their toolserver versions will redirect to Labs. 

If you have any questions, want to report any bugs, or there are any features you would like to see that aren't currently available on the Toolserver tools, see the [[User:Mr.Z-man/Popular pages FAQ|updated FAQ]] or contact me on my talk page.

== Article in urgent need of attention ==

Hi. I was doing a CSD patrol and came across [[Baba Fakruddin]] which had been tagged for CSD A-7. I removed the tags as the subject of the article is purportedly an Islamic saint, which would normally be pretty notable. I also tagged it for no references. But on closer examination I noticed that it used to be a more substantive article but it was redacted down to a single sentence and had all of its sources deleted by a new editor who claims they were unreliable. I suspect that the article was indeed under-referenced but the mass redaction looks like overkill to me. In any case perhaps one or more editors here might wish to have a look and see if they can fix it. As of right now it is one sentence with no sources. If the editor had more experience I would be inclined to call this disruptive editing but I think it was probably just over enthusiasm.
:'''Update''' This looks like a case of very aggressive editing by an agenda driven account. It's been dealt with on an Admin level, but the article does need some work. -[[User:Ad Orientem|Ad Orientem]] ([[User talk:Ad Orientem|talk]]) 22:23, 2 May 2014 (UTC)

:[[User:Dougweller]], I do. The user is very sincere and well meaning, but this happened a few months ago and it took a looong time to reverse.

===Issues with an article created by this editor- [[Jarir ibn Abdullah Al Bajali]]===

It's Choudhry who added the bit about a biased source. DGG, a very experienced editor, commented about the Arabic[https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:DGG&diff=prev&oldid=604541662] basically saying it is good to include Arabic translations of names to help in searching, but also commented " Unfortunately, some of the Arabic here does not seem to be names but standard religious phrases, and those need to be translated. People familiar with a non-English tradition often use such phrases only in the original even in English writing (o even use only their standard non-english abbreviations) This is not helpful to those outside the tradition. . This I cannot fix; it is up to the contributor to do this or someone else who knows the language."

== Genuine or falsehood? ==

This article here -- [[Sayyad Zahid Ali Shah Qadri]] -- is problematic. The quality of the written English is very poor, but we shouldn't disqualify the article solely on those grounds. On the other hand, the article seems to make some very grandiose claims -- for instance, it claims that Sayyad was a direct descendant of the Prophet, and/or of Ali, and there's something about Ratnagiri and "56 position of saint" , and then a photograph of the Kaaba. But the only proof given is a single page on Facebook, which we all know is not a reliable source for historic data. I tried Google, but was unable to find anything pertinent -- but that could be an issue of transliteration into English.

Any thoughts? Should this be salvaged, or deleted? [[User:DragonflySixtyseven|DS]] ([[User talk:DragonflySixtyseven|talk]]) 13:37, 26 May 2014 (UTC)

== Leaflet For Wikiproject Islam At Wikimania 2014 ==

Hi all,

My name is Adi Khajuria and I am helping out with Wikimania 2014 in London.

One of our initiatives is to create leaflets to increase the discoverability of various wikimedia projects, and showcase the breadth of activity within wikimedia. Any kind of project can have a physical paper leaflet designed - for free - as a tool to help recruit new contributors. These leaflets will be printed at Wikimania 2014, and the designs can be re-used in the future at other events and locations.

This is particularly aimed at highlighting less discoverable but successful projects, e.g:

• Active Wikiprojects: Wikiproject Medicine, WikiProject Video Games, Wikiproject Film

• Tech projects/Tools, which may be looking for either users or developers.

• Less known major projects: Wikinews, Wikidata, Wikivoyage, etc.

• Wiki Loves Parliaments, Wiki Loves Monuments, Wiki Loves ____

• Wikimedia thematic organisations, Wikiwomen’s Collaborative, The Signpost

For more information or to sign up for one for your project, go to:

== Two articles on the Middle East/Islamic world and LGBT attitudes ==

Hi! I found some articles by Georg Klauda on LGBT attitudes and the Islamic world. They talk about how anti-LGBT attitudes were not always the norm (previously Europe was homophobic and Europeans went to the Middle East and had homosexual experiences there), but that the anti-LGBT attitudes came to the Middle East when "gays/homosexuals" were made into an identity group.

== Al-kitaab, etc. ==

Someone just created [[Al-Kitaab series]] about a series of Arabic language instruction books for English speakers (which I have myself seen in stores). I went to see if there were other pages that would require disambiguation from this in some form, and found that
*[[AL-kitab]] redirects to [[Islamic holy books]]
*[[Alkitab]] redirects to [[Bible]]
*There are pages (or redirects) whose titles start with "Al-Kitāb" or "Al-Kitab". I don't know if they would be listed on a disambiguation page, as I don't know whether anyone refers to them as just "al-kita[a]b".
*There are many variations as to how anyone seeking information on any of these subjects might enter this: upper- or lower-case K; "a", "aa", or "ā"; with or without a hyphen.
I am by far not a sufficiently knowledgeable person to follow up on my findings, but I felt that some consistent disambiguation would be ideal, so I decided to post this here in case anyone would be interested in pursuing it.

== Help with Arabic translation needed ==

Hi all. There is a discussion currently ongoing as to the notability of [[Mohammed Ali al-Ahwal]] on the article's talk page. I was wondering if someone with Arabic language skills could translate some linked sites that might be able to resolve the issue. It seems possible, maybe even probable, that the subject meets [[WP:BASIC]]. But verifiable sources in English are lacking. Please post any replies on the talk page of the article. Any help is much appreciated. -[[User:Ad Orientem|Ad Orientem]] ([[User talk:Ad Orientem|talk]]) 21:08, 17 December 2014 (UTC)

== Article needing cleanup: [[Allama_Gohorpuri_Rahimahullah]] ==

I came across this article, [[Allama_Gohorpuri_Rahimahullah]] which is apparently on a Islamic scholar -- it needs quite a bit of cleanup, improving of references, etc. As I'm unfamiliar with the WikiProject, I wasn't sure if just adding the {{tl|WikiProject Islam}} tag would be sufficient, or if not, what else I should do to bring it to your attention.

== Help welcomed at [[Hasan al-Askari]] ==

Hi, I'm involved in a content dispute on this article. There are a small group of editors who seem intent on adding a large amount of text to this article, a large amount of it in Arabic, which to my eyes looks completely out of context. I don't understand why they keep adding this material and I'm trying to get them to explain to both myself and readers why this is content is important. They keep saying things like "reference" and "foreign language source", all of which is fair enough, except for the fact the presence of this text appears completely misplaced and not presented as sources.

As you might have guessed, I also think there's language barrier issues here. Their replies aren't making a lot of sense as far as determining the context and value for myself. I'm sure they think the content they're adding has value, but I'm having trouble determining what that value is and why it need to be presented in the format they're insisting on.

The reports are updated on a daily basis, and provide brief summaries of what happened, with relevant links to discussion or results when possible.

Given the closely linked subjects of the various religion, mythology, and philosophy groups, it seems to me that we might benefit from having some sort of regular topical discussion forum to discuss the relevant content.

== WikiProject X pilot testing ==

Hello WikiProject Islam!

Based on the recommendation of [[User:John Carter|John Carter]], I am happy to announce that [[Wikipedia:WikiProject X|WikiProject X]] has selected this project as part of a round of pilot testing.

The goal of WikiProject X is to improve the WikiProject experience through research, design, and experimentation. On that basis, we've prepared a new WikiProject design template based around modules. These modules include features you are already familiar with, such as article alerts, but also new features such as automated work lists, a feed of discussions taking place on the 6,005 talk pages tagged by WikiProject Islam, and a new member profile system. To see what this new setup looks like, you can browse the first round of pilot tests: [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Cannabis|WikiProject Cannabis]], [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Evolutionary biology|WikiProject Evolutionary biology]], [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Ghana|WikiProject Ghana]], [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Hampshire|WikiProject Hampshire]], [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Women's Health|WikiProject Women's Health]].

If there is consensus among the participants of this WikiProject, I will proceed with implementing this interface based on the current contents of [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Islam]]. Please let me know if you have any questions or requests. [[User:Harej|Harej]] ([[User talk:Harej|talk]]) 23:41, 1 September 2015 (UTC)

== "Islamization of" vs. "Islamism in" ==

I propose standardizing across the English Wikipedia in article titles that "Islamization of" be reserved for the initial conversion of a society to Islam and "Islamism in" be reserved for recent convergences of Islam and politics in various parts of the world. For instance, [[Islamization of Palestine]] would retain its name, but [[Islamization of the Gaza Strip]] would be moved to [[Islamism in the Gaza Strip]]. This distinction is already broadly in place, as can be witnessed by Googling [https://www.google.com/?gws_rd=ssl#safe=off&q=https:%2F%2Fen.wikipedia.org%2Fwiki%2FIslamism_in Islamism in] and [https://www.google.com/?gws_rd=ssl#q=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islamization_of&safe=off&start=10 Islamization of]. [[User:0nlyth3truth|0nlyth3truth]] ([[User talk:0nlyth3truth|talk]]) 03:49, 12 November 2015 (UTC)
:One comment I will make as a follow up to [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Islamization_of_the_Gaza_Strip#Requested_move_11_November_2015 my response to Debresser] is that it violates [[NPOV]] to assume that what Hamas has done to Gaza is in fact an imposition of "more" Islam. For many Muslims, maintaining at least a measure of social pluralism is an important part of their religious outlook. You could easily say that Gaza was already 100%-[[Paul Erdős#Personality|ε]] Muslim before Hamas arrived and Hamas has done nothing to make it "more" Muslim. Using this logic to keep the term "Islamization" affirms a specific narrative, that Hamas has been busy making Gaza more Muslim, rather than maintaining the many perspectives that exist, a very important one which is that Hamas ''hasn't'' made Gaza more Muslim, which casts serious doubts on the use of "Islamization." Perhaps it would be useful to forge the word "Islamismization" and construct an analogy with it: Islam:Islamism::Islamization:Islamismization. Islamization ≠ Islamismization just like Islam ≠ Islamism. [[User:0nlyth3truth|0nlyth3truth]] ([[User talk:0nlyth3truth|talk]]) 18:00, 16 November 2015 (UTC)

== Need help to expand the article on hijab and link it to headscarf and nuns and why some nuns wear it and if for the same reasons ==

I've been trying to create links. But e.g. in the article about nuns, [[scarf]] is only mentioned once. I put it between 2 double square brackets.  But I don't have time to expand or look up studies on why nuns and in general e.g. catholic women living 1910-1980 would wear scarfs - mainly to protect them from the elements and because hot water had to be made on a wood or coal-stove, which was not so convenient, etc. I also tried to make some links in the article on [[headscarf]].  Still a lot of work needs to be done, but I'm sure the research documents are available. Frustrating apparently still so few scolars / professors require their students to document their dissertations' findings in the wikipedia.

:Covering the hair (more or less, but not the face) was normal for married women in most areas of Europe until the Renaissance, at least outdoors and in formal settings, and nuns' traditional costumes just reflect this.

== NPOV issues in [[Hanafi]], [[Maliki]] and [[Shafi'i]] ==

The articles [[Hanafi]], [[Maliki]] and [[Shafi'i]] all have a "Views" section with similar subsections: Apostasy, Blasphemy, Stoning, etc. [[WP:BALASPS]] states: "An article should not give undue weight to any aspects of the subject but should strive to treat each aspect with a weight appropriate to the weight of that aspect in the body of reliable sources on the subject." I have consulted the corresponding articles in Brill's Encyclopedia of Islam 2nd ed and the Hanafi article in Encyclopedia Iranica (which doesn't cover the other two). They're longer than the articles we have here, but none of them devote space to any these topics, with the exception of the EI2 article on Malikism, which mentions Maliki views on ''[[Zindīq|zandaqa]]'' in a paragraph on "Malikism and schismatics". In fact, with this and a couple of other exceptions, none of them discuss views on specific questions. The sources cited for these views here are generally reliable, but, in the few cases I spot-checked and was able to verify (some have failed verification), these views don't appear there as part of a general discussion of the madhhab, but rather are mentioned in passing as part of discussions focused on other topics. The decision to discuss views on specific topics in these articles, and particularly the choice of these topics -- among the thousands of possible topics that one finds in a comprehensive source like the ''Kuwait Encyclopedia of Fiqh'' [https://archive.org/details/mawsoat_fikh_pdfbook_ara] -- is reminiscent of their prominence in current anti-Islam polemics, but it certainly doesn't reflect any RSs on the subject of the articles that I'm aware of. This seems to be a clear violation of [[WP:NPOV]]. 

Here's my proposal for addressing this problem. The only views on specific topics that we should discuss in these articles are the views that are presented as distinctive or significant in RSs ''on the subject'' (i.e., a source containing a general discussion of the madhhab not just a random googled passage that says "Hanafis hold...", etc). The material that we currently have in the "Views" section should be verified and moved to articles devoted to the relevant topic ([[Apostasy in Islam]], [[Blasphemy in Islam]], etc). If there's no appropriate article for some passage, it should be deleted.

== Need a review of unsourced, suspicious material removed from [[Aliyah]] article ==

Hi.  I just removed some material from [[Aliyah]] (an article describing the concept of Jewish immigration to present-day Israel).  See [[Talk:Aliyah#Dubious etymology material removed]].

The material in question offers several theories asserting that Islamic traditions support a link between Aliyah and the prophet Elijah.  No sources were cited, and I am strongly inclined not to believe it — indeed, the overall tone of the material strikes me as the work of a troll — but since I am severely uninformed regarding Islamic tradition, I thought it advisable to ask experts in that field to comment.  If some people could go read the stuff in the above-cited talk page section, indicate whether it has '''any factual basis whatsoever''', and (if it is in fact legitimate) come up with some reliable sources to cite so that the material can be returned to the text, I would be most grateful.

I recognize the possibility that some Muslim readers might find the material in question to be irreverent at best, or offensive at worst, but please understand that I mean no offence here — I am just trying to get some idea of whether this text has any real foundation, or if it is simply the babblings of an idiot.

== Musallah and Jama'at Khana ==

Hi there. A discussion is taking place at [[Talk:Mosque#"Musalla": we have NO Wik. page for that]], regarding <del>{{-r|Musallah}}</del>, which currently redirects to [[Jama'at Khana]]. I would like some input from around the world, to see what a lesser-than-a-mosque place of worship is called in your local community. Thanks! - [[User:HyperGaruda|HyperGaruda]] ([[User talk:HyperGaruda|talk]]) 10:21, 3 April 2016 (UTC)
: {{ping|HyperGaruda}} So I fixed that redirect problem and I added some content. I'd appreciate it if anyone can improve it (since it's just a copy/paste from the simple English article).

::{{re|CounterTime}} I forgot to correct the link here, but the article should be at {{-r|Musalla}}, because there is no final "h" (''ta marbuta'') at the end of the original Arabic word. I've listed them at requested moves. Anyway, thanks for making a start. - [[User:HyperGaruda|HyperGaruda]] ([[User talk:HyperGaruda|talk]]) 17:03, 5 April 2016 (UTC)

== Surahs by number ==

There is a full set of redirects from "Sura" + number ({{lookfrom|Sura }}) but only a partial set using the spelling Surah ({{lookfrom|Surah }}). 

As [[Surah]] is now the main spelling used in Wikipedia, I suggest that the full set of redirects should be created, and added into [[:Category:Surahs by number]]. Use this format so that they sort numerically: 
:<nowiki>[[Category:Surahs by number| 001]]</nowiki>

[[Template:Sura]] will be helpful for navigation. – [[User:Fayenatic london|Fayenatic]] '''[[Special:Contributions/Fayenatic london|<span style="color:#FF0000;">L</span>]]'''[[User talk:Fayenatic london|ondon]] 16:56, 9 April 2016 (UTC)

== Neutral eyes needed at [[Concubinage]] ==

The [[Concubinage]] article briefly mentioned [[Nikah mut‘ah]], but there is also something in Sunni Islam called [[Nikah Misyar]], so I mentioned it also.  But I don't know a thing about it.  Can someone please make a thoughtful, neutral comparison of what is different and similar among these three things?

== A Suggestion ==

Listen after realising that anyone can edit wikipedia i find it unsafe and suggest that only Muslim Scholars should be allowed to edit our pages in accordance with the Quran and authentic hadith and use them as sources.  <small><span class="autosigned">—&nbsp;Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:Hexushade|Hexushade]] ([[User talk:Hexushade|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Hexushade|contribs]]) 11:29, 28 May 2016 (UTC)</span></small><!-- Template:Unsigned --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->
:{{replyto|Hexushade}} Hi. Since you're new here, I'd recommend you read Wikipedia's policies and guidelines before offering suggestions. For example, [[WP:OWN|no one owns articles]] so Muslims have no claim to articles about Islamic subjects. Also, Wikipedia has to be [[WP:V|verifiable]] but that does not mean adherence to theology. Wikipedia is secular in nature and based on what we call [[WP:RS|reliable sources]]. You'll find this is the case across all subjects including other religions, politics, science, etc. Assuming you are a Muslim I warn you that the purity of message that you might value will not be found here. <span class="nowrap" style="font-family:copperplate gothic light;">[[User:Chris troutman|<span style="color:#345">Chris Troutman</span>]] ([[User talk:Chris troutman|<span style="color:#345">talk</span>]])</span> 11:35, 28 May 2016 (UTC)

== Auto-assessment of article classes ==

Following a [[Wikipedia:Village_pump_(proposals)#Auto-assessment|recent discussion]] at [[WP:VPR]], there is consensus for an opt-in bot task that [[WP:AUTOASSESS|automatically assesses]] the class of articles based on classes listed for other project templates on the same page. In other words, if WikiProject A has evaluated an article to be C-class and WikiProject B hasn't evaluated the article at all, such a bot task would automatically evaluate the article as C-class for WikiProject B.

If you think auto-assessment might benefit this project, consider discussing it with other members here. For more information or to request an auto-assessment run, please visit [[User:BU RoBOT/autoassess]]. This is a one-time message to alert projects with over 1,000 unassessed articles to this possibility. ~ <b>[[User:BU Rob13|Rob]]</b><sup>[[User talk:BU Rob13|Talk]]</sup> 22:31, 3 June 2016 (UTC)

A picture with a table on the Lut page shows that Lot left the city with his wife when she was left behind also making pictures of Prophets is I think forbidden in Islam so i ask you to remove it.

: If that is the wife in red, then I don't see that she is leaving. Perhaps the caption "Lut fleeing the city with ''his wife and'' daughters" is incorrect. [[User:Debresser|Debresser]] ([[User talk:Debresser|talk]]) 12:22, 30 May 2016 (UTC)
: Regarding the second point: [[WP:CENSOR|Wikipedia is not censored]]! [[User:Debresser|Debresser]] ([[User talk:Debresser|talk]]) 12:22, 30 May 2016 (UTC)
::The figure in red is leaving, turning to express horror or whatever at the destruction of the city, but it is not Lot's wife. In the Islamic story she remains in the city, and the figure wears male dress. It is presumably one of Lot's followers; I've amended the caption. [[User:Johnbod|Johnbod]] ([[User talk:Johnbod|talk]]) 14:09, 22 July 2016 (UTC)
::: And I have reverted you. 1. I disagree with your opinion, the dress doesn't look male. 2. The head-dress looks female to me. 3. Lot has a beard, the other figure doesn't. Ergo: woman. [[User:Debresser|Debresser]] ([[User talk:Debresser|talk]]) 14:25, 22 July 2016 (UTC)

[[User:Debresser|Debresser]] ([[User talk:Debresser|talk]]) 14:34, 22 July 2016 (UTC)
::::::Who knows where that comes from? Do you have a link? Of course not. "Party" is of course correct whoever they are, and was chosen for that reason.

[[User:Johnbod|Johnbod]] ([[User talk:Johnbod|talk]]) 14:42, 22 July 2016 (UTC)
::::::: Why do you say "of course not". I find you less than assuming good faith. Also I find your edit summary "rv idiot" insulting and incorrect, and propose you apologize. Also notice that she is looking backwards, like the wife of Lot in the Biblical story, which is argument number 5 in my favor. See [http://nossl.demo.logilab.fr/biblissima/id/Manuscript/Mandragore/2356]. Perhaps you know Arabic and the text above or below the picture can shed light on the text.

[[Wikipedia:WikiProject Christianity/Outreach|Outreach Department]]: ('''The&nbsp;'''Outreach Department'''&nbsp;of the Christianity WikiProject is a '''centralized workarea for project recruitment and member interaction efforts'''. The major programs currently active are a monthly project newsletter and a welcoming message for new members of the project.''') .''' 

2 . '''[[Wikipedia:WikiProject Christianity/Planning|Planning Department]]''' : (One of its apparent advantages is the fact that it '''breaks down its rather large scope into a fairly large number of functional "subprojects", dealing with the largest regional and topical groupings.''' This allows for people whose primary interest is a particular field (in our case church) to concentrate on their area of interest. Do the rest of you think that this project would benefit from a similar organizational structure?)  

3. [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Christianity/WikiGrail|'''WikiGrail''']] (The&nbsp;'''WikiGrail'''&nbsp;is a '''championship''' that takes place every year on Wikipedia. It is sponsored by&nbsp;[[Wikipedia:X|WikiProject Christianity]]&nbsp;and is open to any Christianity-related project member. The WikiGrail is played and won by '''skill of editing'''. The purpose of the WikiGrail is to encourage content improvement, make editing more fun and increase membership of Christianity-related projects.)  

4. [[Wikipedia:WikiProject_Catholicism/Catholic_Encyclopedia_topics|SubProject  :Catholic Encyclopedia]]
(This is a '''list of topics''' from the [[Catholic Encyclopedia]] ([[s:Catholic Encyclopedia (1913)|text on Wikisource]]) which may not have direct equivalents in the Wikipedia.  The list began with 12,502 articles. .....   the Original Catholic Encyclopedia, is an English-language encyclopedia published in the United States. The first volume appeared in March 1907 )

5.  [[Wikipedia:Easton's Dictionary topics|SubProject :Easton's Dictionary]]  (This is a '''list of topics''' from [[Easton's Bible Dictionary]] [http://www.ccel.org/ccel/easton/ebd2.html] [http://www.sacred-texts.com/bib/ebd/] which do not have articles at Wikipedia. Despite the name, many of the entries in Easton's are encyclopedic in nature, though there are some dictionary definitions. )

6.  [[Wikipedia:WikiProject_Christianity/Core_topics_work_group|Core_topics_work_group]]  (This workgroup aims to improve Wikipedia's coverage of the most important topics within the study of Christianity, striving for comprehensive, neutral, and well-sourced articles. It is a further goal of this workgroup to improve and facilitate collaboration between the many Christianity-related WikiProjects on these shared topics.)

7.  [[Wikipedia:WikiProject_Christianity/Theology_work_group|Theology_work_group]] (The goal of this workgroup is to improve the amount and the quality of Wikipedia's coverage of Christian '''theology'''. The scope of this workgroup is (a) primarily theological concepts and Christian theologians, and (b) secondarily the historical controversies surrounding the development of Christian theology.)

8. [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Catholicism/Canon law Task Force|Canon_law_Task_Force]]  (&nbsp;a task force to organise articles relating to the '''Catholic Church's Law''', both Eastern and Western.)  

9.    in [[Wikipedia:WikiProject_Judaism|WikiProject_Judaism]] we have   [[Wikipedia:Jewish_Encyclopedia_topics|SubProject : Jewish_Encyclopedia]]  (These pages contain a '''''directory of topics''''' covered in the public domain ''[[Jewish Encyclopedia]]'' [http://www.jewishencyclopedia.com].  Although the JE was published in 1901-1906 and thus does not cover major 20th century events such as [[the Holocaust]], and the foundation of the State of [[Israel]], it has few equals in providing a comprehensive English-language synthesis of pre-20th Century scholarship and opinions on Jewish history, religion, culture, and biography.  )

== [[Utbah ibn Abi Lahab]] ==

I came across this article via [[CAT:NN]] -- it's been tagged Notability since 2008. Could someone have a look and make a determination if (a) the tag should be removed, or (2) the article should be redirected or proposed for deletion? [[User:K.e.coffman|K.e.coffman]] ([[User talk:K.e.coffman|talk]]) 21:43, 6 August 2016 (UTC)

: Since all the references are primary sources, notability requirements aren't met. One could nominate it for deletion, through it's hardly among the worse cases of misusing primary sources in articles on early Islam.
