How we check religious sources
Test page for the blog engine. It is hidden from search engines and is not listed in the feed.
Every article on this blog that cites the Quran or a hadith follows the same rules. The website checks most of them automatically and refuses to publish a page that breaks one.
Hadith
We cite only hadith graded sahih or hasan, and we name who graded each one. Outside Sahih al-Bukhari and Sahih Muslim we also need al-Albani's final grading and a second positive grader. If graders disagree, we leave the hadith out.
Each hadith is opened on sunnah.com in a browser before it is cited. We give the collection, the number and the numbering system. If the sunnah.com link and the cited number do not match, the page is not published.
An English rendering of a hadith is our own summary, so it is never shown in quotation marks. Only the Arabic text itself is ever quoted.
Quran
Arabic Quran text is copied word for word from the Tanzil Project and shown with its licence notice. English meanings are our own wording. We do not copy a published translation.
Reviews and corrections
An article names a reviewer only when that person has agreed and is on our records. Corrections are listed at the end of each article with their date.
Not a fatwa
These articles explain views and their sources. They are not a fatwa. Confirm with a trusted scholar or your country's official zakat body.
