== Considered submitting an essay/op-ed? ==


Hi there. It's a fairly recent development, but Java you considered submitting an essay/op-ed? I know you mentioned how your research proves that all of Prophet Muhammad's wives were young, rather than the Muslim claim that most were old and widowed. So you could trim your work and make it more focused (with the obvious option of submitting further essays to include more of your research). Of course, there are still guidelines to adhere to, but this could be the ideal solution for all sides concerned. At WikiIslam we like to stick to the traditional interpretation of Islam and its history in our critique (for example, the order of revelations, authoritive tafsirs, and certainly the age of Kadijah and other fundamental issues). An essay would allow you to state your findings without them clashing with the site's more orthodox conclusions, and it will even give you space to explain how you came to your own conclusions (e.g. why you think the scholar's take on Kadijah's age is more likely than the commonly accepted one). Take a look at some of our essays [http://www.wikiislam.net/wiki/Featured_Essays/Op-Eds here] and you can find the submission form [http://www.wikiislam.net/wiki/Special:Form/Essay-oped-submission here]. --[[User:Sahabah|Sahabah]] ([[User talk:Sahabah|talk]]) 18:02, 1 February 2013 (PST)
