Wikipedia and copyright
Hello 118.97.238.1, and welcome to Wikipedia. All or some of your addition(s) to Abu Mansur al-Maturidi have been removed, as they appear to have added copyrighted material without evidence of permission from the copyright holder. While we appreciate your contributions to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from sources to avoid copyright and plagiarism issues here.


 * You can only copy/translate a small amount of a source, and you must mark what you take as a direct quotation with double quotation marks (") and cite the source using an inline citation. You can read about this at Non-free content in the sections on "text". See also Help:Referencing for beginners, for how to cite sources here.
 * Aside from limited quotation, you must put all information in your own words and structure, in proper paraphrase. Following the source's words too closely can create copyright problems, so it is not permitted here; see Close paraphrasing. (There is a college-level introduction to paraphrase, with examples, hosted by the Online Writing Lab of Purdue.) Even when using your own words, you are still, however, asked to cite your sources to verify the information and to demonstrate that the content is not original research.
 * Our primary policy on using copyrighted content is Copyrights. You may also want to review Copy-paste.
 * If you own the copyright to the source you want to copy or are a legally designated agent, you may be able to license that text so that we can publish it here. Understand, though, that unlike many other sites, where a person can license their content for use there and retain non-free ownership, that is not possible at Wikipedia. Rather, the release of content must be irrevocable, to the world, into the public domain (PD) or under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license. Such a release must be done in a verifiable manner, so that the authority of the person purporting to release the copyright is evidenced. See Donating copyrighted materials.
 * In very rare cases (that is, for sources that are PD or compatibly licensed) it may be possible to include greater portions of a source text. However, please seek help at Media copyright questions, the help desk or the Teahouse before adding such content to the article. 99.9% of sources may not be added in this way, so it is necessary to seek confirmation first. If you do confirm that a source is public domain or compatibly licensed, you will still need to provide full attribution; see Plagiarism for the steps you need to follow.
 * Also note that Wikipedia articles may not be copied or translated without attribution. If you want to copy or translate from another Wikipedia project or article, you must follow the copyright attribution steps in Translation. See also Copying within Wikipedia.

It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices, as policy requires that people who persistently do not must be blocked from editing. If you have any questions about this, you are welcome to leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 21:40, 31 July 2018 (UTC)

You added the following paragraph to the article on Abu Mansur al-Maturidi:
 * In the Qur’anic exegesis, al-Maturidi has Ta’wilat Ahl al-Sunnah or Ta’wilat al-Qur’an. Unfortunately, this fact isn’t known well by the Islamic researchers. Al-Maturidi prefers to combine the naqli )traditionary) and ‘aqli )rational( sources. Consequently, it can be identified as tafsir bi al-izdiwaj or the exegesis that amalgamates tafsir bi al-ma’thur (traditionary exegesis) with tafsir bi al-ra’y (rational exegesis). He is not an excessive interpreter in using grammatical analysis to interpret the Qur’anic verses. He sometimes presents many styles of qira’ah (recitation of the Qur’an) without thorough explanation. He almost never takes Isra’iliyyat (the Judeo-Christian traditions and tales) to interpret the Qur’anic verses. He favors tawassut (nonaligned and independent standpoint) when he deals with many different viewpoints among the theologians. He tends to follow the Hanafite school of thought in discussing the jurisprudential Qur’anic verses. He applies asbab al-nuzul (the causes of revelation) loosely.

What does it mean? It is all written in jargon.

The source you cited says:
 * "In Quranic exegesis, he has Ta’wilat Ahl al-Sunnah or Ta’wilat al-Qur’an. Unfortunately, this fact isn't known well by Islamic researchers... Al-Maturidi prefers to combine the naqli (traditional) and ‘aqli (rational) sources. Consequently, it can be identified as tafsir bi’l-izdiwaj or the exegesis that amalgamates tafsir bi’l-ma’thur (traditional exegesis) with tafsir bi’l-ra’y (rational exegesis). He is not an interpreter who uses excessive grammatical analysis to interpret the Qura'nic verses. He sometimes presents many styles of qira’ah (recitation of the Qur'an) without thorough explanation.

Your version is a clear breach of copyright, and has been deleted. What you did is illegal.

If you understand what the source you cited is saying, then try to summarise it in clear simple English. If you understand it, this will be easy for you. If you cannot understand it, then you will find it impossible.-- Toddy1 (talk) 09:20, 7 August 2018 (UTC)
