I’m not a scholar, and I don’t want you to take my word for anything about the Quran or the Sunnah. So every reference on this blog follows the same few rules, and each one is linked so you can check it yourself.
Quran verses
- Every verse is checked on quran.com before it goes into an article.
- The English meaning comes from an established published translation, Saheeh International. I never write my own translation or reword a verse.
- The Arabic text is shown next to the English, copied from the same source rather than typed out.
- Each verse has its surah and ayah number (for example, Qur’an 2:183) and links to that verse.
Hadith
- Every hadith is checked on sunnah.com.
- I give the collection, the hadith number and its grade (for example, sahih or hasan), and link to it.
- I don’t use hadith I can’t find in a recognised collection, and I don’t quote weak narrations as proof.
- Duas and adhkar are given with their Arabic text and their source.
Rulings and personal questions
My articles are reminders and practical guides, not fatwas. When a topic depends on a ruling (money, worship details, family matters), I say so and point you to a qualified scholar. You can read more in the Islamic content disclaimer.
Found a mistake?
If a reference is wrong, a link is broken or a translation doesn’t match its source, please tell me. I check every report and correct the article, and the page’s “last updated” date changes when I do.
You can read more about me and this blog on the About page.
