== Mission Statement == | |||
WikiIslam aims to provide accurate and accessible information from traditional and critical perspectives on the beliefs, practices, and development of Islam. | |||
==About== | ==About== | ||
WikiIslam's | WikiIslam's strives to be the most comprehensive and accurate source of information on Islam freely and accessibly available online, drawing from both Islam's primary sources (the [[Qur'an]], [[hadith]] and Islamic scholars) as well as from the historical-critical (sometimes called revisionist) analysis of these primary sources by modern historians. Currently, WikiIslam hosts {{NUMBEROFARTICLES}} articles. | ||
As a non-political and non-religious wiki, the site remains neutral towards religions, world views, and issues of a political nature and likewise stays away from extremist, sensationalist or emotional commentary. | As a non-political and non-religious wiki, the site remains neutral towards religions, world views, and issues of a political nature and likewise stays away from extremist, sensationalist or emotional commentary. | ||

WikiIslam is a non-partisan website | WikiIslam is a non-partisan website focused exclusively on Islamic beliefs and practices. All content is therefore focused purely on Islam and how it is practiced, not on its promotion, condemnation, or topics that are sociopolitical in nature or are with regard to other faith traditions. | ||
All content on WikiIslam is required to reference either primary, historical sources (such as the earliest qur'anic codices, hadiths, siras, and tafsirs) or scholarly secondary sources published by reliable academic journals and presses (e.g. Fred Donner's ''Muhammad and the Believers: At the Origins of Islam'', published by Harvard University Press). While the claims of latter-day Islamic scholars provide useful reference for the positions of the various Islamic orthodoxies, they do not suffice as historical evidence for the claims they present. | All content on WikiIslam is required to reference either primary, historical sources (such as the earliest qur'anic codices, hadiths, siras, and tafsirs) or scholarly secondary sources published by reliable academic journals and presses (e.g. Fred Donner's ''Muhammad and the Believers: At the Origins of Islam'', published by Harvard University Press).
