An article that matters
I'm thinking Sharia or Jihad, both of which need substantial work. Bless sins (talk) 02:53, 10 June 2010 (UTC)

Islam Page
Hi there! I definitely understand your thoughts on the Islam page's introductory material, especially the first paragraph. Although it's definitely too clunky, I think the way it appears now is probably a bit more informative and accurate than the altered version. I would propose leaving the second and third paragraphs as they are, and making the first paragraph more similar to what you posted, with a few tweaks, so that it reads as:

Islam is a monotheistic Abrahamic religion based on the Qur'an, a book that Muslims consider the verbatim word of God, and the teachings of the Prophet of Islam Muhammad, a 7th-century Arab religious and political figure. The word "Islam" means "submission," or the total surrender of oneself to God. An adherent of Islam is known as a Muslim, meaning "one who submits (to God)."

With the citations and everything, it appears this way (printed below). If you think this is a good compromise position for now, do feel free to post it, or to just hit me back with further thoughts. Thanks.

Islam (الإسلام al-’islām, ) is a monotheistic Abrahamic religion based on the Qur'an, a book that Muslims consider the verbatim word of one, incomparable God (الله, Allāh), and the teachings of the Prophet of Islam Muhammad, a 7th-century Arab religious and political figure. The word Islam means "submission", or the total surrender of oneself to God (الله, Allāh). An adherent of Islam is known as a Muslim, meaning "one who submits (to God)".

Your thoughts appreciated
Hi, we are discussing the "Pact of Umar" section at the dhimmi article talk page. It was suggested you might be able to provide some feedback regarding NPOV. It appears to me the research contradicts Islamic beliefs (perhaps to some degree?) in this area, requiring balancing material. I am not familiar enough with the specific topic, or NPOV policy, to be certain how to proceed. Regards, Aquib (talk) 12:39, 19 July 2010 (UTC)

Non-Free rationale for File:Jalalayn.gif
Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Jalalayn.gif. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under Non-Free content criteria but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia is acceptable. Please go to the file description page and edit it to include a Non-Free rationale.

If you have uploaded other Non-Free media, consider checking that you have specified the Non-Free rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page.

Your kind response needed
Hello, this is another mate on the English Wikipedia. If i'm posting in wrong place then sorry but i'd appreciated your comments. I'm requesting your comments as i feel some false accusation are being made without reliable sources in some Islam related articles that were created by a single editor User:BengaliHindu. Specially, i found this article 2013 Canning riots with lots of bias and false accusations against Muslims where Muslim clerics were murdered yet blames goes to local Muslim people. May be i'm wrong but it may also possible that such articles were created per Islamophobia. I'd deeply appreciate your comments and advises.

Requesting a change to your signature
Your signature currently features ...ITAQALLAH..., which causes WikEd and other Wikipedia editing tools to pick up the tag as an unsupported html tag every instance it appears. If possible, I beseech you to update your signature so that it uses the wiki markup text bolding style.

Code change would be as follows:

As a side note, the wikitext vs. HTML uses one less character to achieve the same effect.

WikiProject Islam
Hello friend, are you a member of WProject Islam? Because I'm unsure who else to contact, since the Talk Page is dead and going without any response, after an issue (dispute) arose. Kindly refer to Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Islam for the full discussion.

Nonetheless, despite my attempt to get a community consensus/input (to no avail), the corresponding user has gone ahead and reverted/re-edited the article(s) again, and I'm in no mood to edit war with a user who can't be reasoned with personally by myself. See:

Would greatly appreciate your input, and any other Project members you can tag along to settle the dispute once and for all, which ever direction you guys decide to go with. DA1 (talk) 23:59, 5 June 2017 (UTC)
