 * Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia:
 * Respect copyrights – do not copy and paste text or images directly from other websites.
 * Maintain a neutral point of view – this is one of Wikipedia's core policies.
 * Take particular care while adding biographical material about a living person to any Wikipedia page and follow Wikipedia's Biography of Living Persons policy. Particularly, controversial and negative statements should be referenced with multiple reliable sources.
 * No edit warring or sock puppetry.
 * If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to [ do so].
 * Do not add troublesome content to any article, such as: copyrighted text, libel, advertising or promotional messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject. Deliberately adding such content or otherwise editing articles maliciously is considered vandalism; doing so will result in your account or IP being blocked from editing.
 * Do not use talk pages as discussion or forum pages as Wikipedia is not a forum.

The Wikipedia tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and discussion pages using four tildes, like this: &#126;&#126;&#126;&#126; (the software will replace them with your signature and the date). Again, welcome!

Ya Sin
Hi - glad to see you trying to improve the article, but there are some problems.

I'd like you to read MOS:ISLAM - note that we do not use the word 'Prophet' before the name Muhammad - I removed this and mentioned it in an edit summary - and could you please start using edit summaries?

Much of what you have written is unsourced - you need to read WP:VERIFY and WP:RS to understand what we expect and the sort of sources we ask for.

Sentences such as "These verses affirm God's position as the sole Creator and Sustainer, and illustrates that His creations are at the mercy of His will." and "Only believers will benefit from the Prophet Muhammad’s warning." are inappropriate and violate a basic policy of ours called "Neutral point of view". Please read WP:NPOV.

I'd appreciate it if you could read these policies and guidelines and revise the article to follow them. If you feel that you can't, I'll be reverting your edits. We do have discussion boards, eg WP:RSN, WP:NPOVN and WP:RSN where you can discuss your edits if you really think they don't violate our policies, but they seem pretty clear violations.

Please understand that I know you are unaware of the above and that I don't intend to take any action right now about your edits, but I will be looking at them and I can give you further advice if you want it. However, any unsourced material can be removed, as can editing that violates WP:NPOVN. Thanks. Dougweller (talk) 14:14, 26 November 2012 (UTC)
