WikiIslam uses two interface methods: classic editing through [[WikiIslam:Source Editing|source editor]] (using the wiki markup language), and a new VisualEditor (VE). The source editor is chosen by clicking the <kbd>Edit</kbd> tab at the top of a WikiIslam page. This will take you to a new page containing the editable contents of the current page.
