Sub categories?
Would it be possible to have sub categories in the Islam category? Like a Shia category, Sunni category, etc. I think this can have some benefit as it now seems like almost every article where both have a say in the matter, it will descend into POV forks and the like... while there are similiarities between Sunni and Shiite sects, the differences are enough to warrant categories on their own. -- GNU 4 Eva 03:08, 1 August 2005 (UTC)


 * I think they should be subcategorized differently, since the method you suggest will result in much overlapping. - Eagleamn 04:22, 18 December 2005 (UTC)

i think all the different categories of muslims are nothing,Allah is one, muhammad(saw) is one ,quran is one then muslims should be one,and should take guidence from quran and try to understand what the islam is, by praying salat,taking fast taking care of halal or haram and abidebyeing other order of Allah we are not benefeiting the Allah,islam is the only way by wihch we can pass this journy of this world and take benefet after this life.all the order or guidence is in quran is for the humanbeing,befor islam human was like animal because there is no rule or order same for all the peoples, they fights for 100 of years just for their emotional superierty,they do not know the the value of a life,islam teaches how to live and the how the ego war can stop,islam says Allah does not like the fasad(disturbence ),i cannot uderstand why muslims diffenetiat each other,i think muslim is only muslim who recit the quran and abide by the order of Allah performs their duties in which area of the world they live. i will say sorry to any one if he hurt by my views,and sory for my weak english, if any want to write me plz (awnosha@hotmail.com) i will request to all muslims of the world plz try to understand the islam,

Maintenance of the category pages
Are there editors out there who regularly keep an eye on whether Islam related articles are in the correct category/subcategory (-ies) ? The only reason I ask is because there appear to be an awful lot of articles in the Islam category and I was wondering whether some of them could be better placed in a(t least one) subcategory.

Hi

I think I'll be able to help a bit with the Islam Category and its organization.

Just let me know what exactly would you like to update ? Ibn

Pages on Islamic View/Influence on Wine
I apologize if this is not the proper place to ask, but I'm trying to see what Wikipages are out there that discuss the influence on the world of wine that Islam has had. I'm not finding anything really and would like to see some pages covering that topic. If there is anyone willing to help, I can contribute some of the wine info but I would really like to see more Muslim directed viewpoints. Thanks! Agne27 16:07, 4 July 2006 (UTC)

Different category for Muslim culture, affairs, etc
Religion is one thing, muslim culture etc is another. Could we separate them?To put them together is like putting Israeli culture and Hebrew language under the category of the religion of Judaism.I at least would like to distinguish this in Philippine related moro(muslim) affairs.--Jondel 08:12, 17 November 2006 (UTC)


 * One very important thing to realize is that Categorization, and is inherently different from a classification system because it is a navigational tool. Now Islam in Phillipines is intrinsically tied to Moro affairs in the case Phillipines because of the importance it has within that community as a form of identification as well. I do not see any dichtomy in placing entire distinct communities within the category of Islam in XXX country, because this helps you quickly see what are the communities in that country to profess Islam and how they have shaped up to see how Islam has shaped their community, or how it differs from other communities. More important it brings together various related items that can help a user learn more about Islam in a particular country be it history, culture, practices beliefs. If there was community of Jews in Phillipines it would fall under Judaism in Phillipines. In effect the moro affairs catergory you are proposing overlaps with the religions dimension as well. The category relion in XX country are more social, historical and political theme-oriented connectors rather than theological ones that allow users to get the distinct flavor and details in that particular country. Please see Christianity by country, Islam by country, Jews by country. If you think there is sufficient information to justify making sub-catergories sure why not have categories such as Islam in the Phillipines (communities) or Islam in the Phillipines (culture) etc. The way I see it significant portions of Moro culture will have overlap because of its cultural adaptations to Islam, and will have equally significant portions that lie beyond Islamic influences, can we agree that in classifications we distinguish between these two forms?--Tigeroo 09:13, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

Category:Hadith
Is there some reason it isn't listed as a subcategory on this page? Or am I missing something? P4k 00:03, 28 December 2006 (UTC)


 * You're right, it should be there and now is. MP (talk•contribs) 22:29, 27 July 2007 (UTC)

Facelift of Islam category
Finally, the number of articles listed on the Islam category page is less than the number of subcategories of Islam! I think the banner at the top suggests the right idea: place almost all Islam articles into the right subcat(s) but leave some of the most important ones in the category page. I've been doing this for a while now, but I would welcome comments and assistance from other editors. Thanks. MP (talk•contribs) 09:44, 27 July 2007 (UTC)

Wow, over 2 years since I wrote the above comment. I would appreciate some assistance in cleaning up the category page by placing articles in the appropriate subcategory so that the main category page isn't flooded with things like Khula and abstruse rubbish like ‘Uj ibn Anaq. It's a very tedious task, but I do a little until i get impatient :)Thx. MP (talk•contribs) 18:50, 16 October 2009 (UTC)

Use of the TajMahal as an icon of islamic architecture
I think Taj Mahal is an example of Indo-Islamic architecture, perhaps some structure from middle east is more appropriate.Lilaac (talk) 03:25, 27 April 2009 (UTC)


 * I second it. There is not much logic in having Taj as the icon - it is not of religious significance in Islam, neither is it done in pure Islamic architecture. Rklystron (talk) 11:53, 15 September 2009 (UTC)

Hi - came across this series and agree that the Taj Mahal probably isn't a good fit as it was predominantly a mausoleum. Maybe an image of a more universal symbol, like the crescent or Hajj would be better? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.228.248.237 (talk) 03:35, 12 February 2013 (UTC)

Mariam Yahia Ibrahim Ishag
Claims have appeared in the article, Mariam Yahia Ibrahim Ishag about when Islam supports the death sentence for apostasy. I don't know enough to confirm or deny these claims and experts need to look at the article. Proxima Centauri (talk) 07:54, 20 May 2014 (UTC)
