Articles

Guides to one subject at a time. Every du‘ā and verse in them is quoted from the library and the Qur’ān, never retyped.

Written by AI · scholarly review pending

An article is written by AI and checked by AI against the texts it quotes. It gives no rulings, and leaves a question on which the schools differ to a scholar. It never contains a typed du‘ā or verse: each is shown from the library or from the Qur’ān’s text, so a correction there reaches every article. When scholars are engaged to review the articles, their names and the date will stand on each one.
