Muslim Wikipedia Editors Needed

salaam,
the muslim wikipedia only permits the promotion of Islam. Other religions , inshallah will be discussed, but ONLY in the context of Islam.

So for example In Hinduism, there is the concept of Ohm, the sole creator. However there are lesser gods per se, and so for example the islamic concept of tawheed, and the unity of Allah will be added as the concept of pure monotheism.

There is a concept that only one who believes in their religion is able to adequately explain it. But since we are not there to promote other religions, factual and doctrinal descriptions are sufficient. And inshallah there are many Muslim brothers and sisters who are well versed in these fields.

Any opinions coming from a Muslim in respect with other religions would in fact be from the prospective of a Muslim therefore, any research, comments etc would be bias. Of course what would help is encourage Jews as well as Christians to write information about their religions as well as Sikhs, Hindus etc to avoid stereotypes and misinformation. I would happily write about philosophy and metaphysics and such....!

Salaam, there will Inshallah be huge sections on other religions. But these will be from a comparison with Islam perspective. This after all is the MuslimWikipedia, not the JewishWikipedia or the ChristianWikipedia.

asalamalykum Israfil,
that is because no one has written anything about the subject 'Jew' Yet.

The muslim wikipedia is an online encyclopedia where the community enter the information.

So for example, if you are a member of a muslim organisation, or you have a local community, or say you have an islamic book you have read on say Emaan. Then if you are passionate about sharing that Islamic knowledge with the whole world, all you do is

Go to the muslim wikipedia. enter the subject in the search box
type go. If the page already exists you can edit it (you have to be logged in). and if it doesn't already exist a page will come up asking you if you want to create the page. In which case you just click on the yes, and then start editing the page.
Inshallah the article or info doesn't have to be complete, as someone else will come along and add to it, if it needs adding.

I believe this is an absolutey brilliant oppurtunity for muslims to build an encyclopedia on Islam that will present Islam to the world as it should be presented.
