Religious teaching should be accurate, traceable and clear about its limits.
Source order
- The Qur’an is the primary source.
- Hadith material must be traceable to an identified collection and carry an appropriate authenticity assessment.
- Translations, tafsir, Arabic language works and scholarly explanations must be named and must not be presented as though they are the revealed text itself.
How sources are presented
- Qur’an and hadith: quotations and references are linked to their named sources.
- Context: explanations state their limits, and disputed interpretations are not silently presented as consensus.
- Arabic and translation: Arabic, transliteration and named translations are kept distinct.
- Clear teaching: explanations use plain language and avoid unsupported claims.
- Search information: page titles and descriptions should describe the material readers can actually find.
Corrections
A material error should be corrected promptly. Where evidence is uncertain or qualified, the page should state that honestly.
Responsible use of tools
Research tools may assist discovery and organisation, but they are not religious authorities. Published teaching should remain traceable to its named sources.
