The mission of WikiProject Islam is to ensure thatIslam-related articles on Wikipedia are written in an encyclopedic style, in aneutral and non-sectarian manner, usingverifiable andreliable scholarly sources. This is the best place to discuss issues which affect Islam-related articles in general. Discussions about particular articles should be handled on the talk pages of those articles.
The scope of this WikiProject is to improve the quality and quantity of information about Islam available on Wikipedia.
If you are a newcomer, the most important and often over-looked point to remember while editing Wikipedia is:Youcannot insert your own particular viewpoints into articles. Articles should typically reflect theverifiable opinions of qualified academic scholars, inneutral and balanced prose. TheQur'an andhadith are considered primary sources and they shouldn't be quoted in support of a particular argument unless also backed up by a citation to a reliable secondary source. Also remember tocite your sources correctly. If you feel a viewpoint merits mention, you can find some material which may constitute areliable source by checkingbooks, journals, articles, newspapers and other sources.
To promote consistency in the way articles are written and edited, amanual of style with recommended guidelines exists. Visitits talk page for current discussion.
{{WikiProject Islam|class=|importance=}}) on thetalk pages of all articles that fall within the scope of the project.Departments are specific group of members who do the meta work. Tasks include keeping the project going, maintaining the project pages, related portals, assessing articles, participating in peer reviews, managing the consensus within the project and so on. The following is a list of departments within the WikiProject. WikiProject Members may not necessarily do only departmental tasks. They can contribute content as a member of Work Groups as well.
Theassessment department focuses on assessing the quality of Wikipedia articles related toIslam. While much of the work is done in conjunction with theWP:1.0 program, the article ratings are also used within the project itself to aid in recognizingexcellent contributions and identifying topics in need of further work.

Thepeer review department conducts peer reviews of Islam-related articles on request; this helps to obtain ideas for further improvement by having contributors who may not have previously worked on particular articles examine them. Project members are invited to submit articles to the department in lieu of using the generic peer review process.
Although members of the project are usually aware of current problems and specific tasks to perform in Islam articles, non-members – who are encouraged to help with these – may not be. Generally, discussions of articles take place on talk pages of those articles, but below is a list of some important problems and tasks.

In accordance with general directives onreliable source usage, Wikipedia should quotequalified scholars of Islam, as Wikipedia policy dictates that authors must be "authoritative in relation to the subject at hand." Other indicators of reliability is whether or not the work is published in a scholarly, peer-reviewed press, or whether the work is itself the subject of independent academic reviews. As perWP:REDFLAG, It is especially important for the source to be of high quality (and perferably there should be multiple sources) when assertions about Islam are made which are unsupported by mainstream academic opinion.
The editors should not write for example "Some Muslims argue X" and then reference it to some Muslim websites unless they could show that the website is representative of the thought of a particular significant group.
