[edit] Hadith

Unflavoured, even Muslim scholars argue about which hadith are strong, weak, or unreliable. Western academic scholars are even more skeptical. They believe that most hadith (even the sahih ones) are later inventions. Therefore you can't conclude that because Tirmidhi says Muhammad said something, therefore Muhammad said it. Hadith involving Sunni-Shi'a issues are particularly problematic, because these hadith were first written down after the overthrow of the Umayyads and when the Sunni and Shi'a were finally irrevocably splitting.

I'm not making this argument from a Shi'a viewpoint. Most of the Shi'a editors dislike me intensely, because I am writing from a Western academic viewpoint. Insofar as is possible (there's only one of me and I can't watch all the Islam-related articles) I try to make sure that articles are as neutral as possible. That means not allowing statements that make POV assumptions.

That also means opposing anti-Muslim bigots, who dislike me as well. Welcome to Wikipedia :) Zora 06:26, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

Using "narrated" is NOT OK in my book -- it's used by ulema, not by Western academic scholars. It's an idiosyncratic usage with a religious flavor, and makes it sound as if the matn were true. Which it may not be. Look at the rewrite I did and see if that's better. Zora 06:42, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Asalamualikum

Where are you bro.. the article is waiting for you. Mohammad Adil 20:09, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

Asalamuaikum, welcome back! i have compelted the article of Uthman ibn affan, and have writen these articles as well, Battle of Chains, Siege of Jerusalem (637) and Conquest of Damascus. now i am try to make my mind to restart the article of Rashidun empire[2]. I am confused, wather to start writing new article for Caliph Abu Bakr, or to restart this one. And one thing over which i need help or you can say suggestion is that " will i make the new article by the name Rashidun empire or Islamic empire, or will i edit it into pre-existing atricle of Rashidun Caliphate ???? suggestions needed,what do you recommand ?

Mohammad Adil 10:41, 31 July 2007 (UTC)

• • Asalamualikum, i read your suggestions about the naming of the article which deals with the empire ruled by Rashidun Caliphs. But i had a look over the article Rashidun Caliphate, its theme seems to be the same, and more over there is a "category" by the name Battles involving Rshhidun Caliphate, and in many of the islamic history stuff the era is remmembered as Rashidun Caliphate or Khilafat ar rashidah, i mean it seems that all will gonna distrub if i made an other article with the name rashidun empire, so how do you think the emergence of the article of rashidun caliphate with rashidun empire ????, or will you defend the begining of the new article rashidun empire ?????

Mohammad Adil 21:28, 11 August 2007 (UTC)

• • And yes i am also making a new article with the name Rashidun Army or Rashidun Caliphate army, and the article of the rashidun empire is almost complete if you have time so plz check it for grammer etc etc etc .

[edit] Qur'an

Unflavoured, there are a great many traditions about Muhammad's life, including central tenets of the Islamic religion, which are found nowhere in the Qur'an, but "only" in hadith or sira. That's not usually thought a problem - were it so, we'd be completely unable to construct any kind of coherent biography.Proabivouac 08:34, 31 July 2007 (UTC)
