Policies
- All articles posted must include a reference, whether they have been taken from websites, books or any other sources. We encourage members to use relevant parts of the article and then provide the link to the whole article. If the article is your own original thought, please state clearly (either on top of the article or at the bottom)
- No post or thread shall be allowed that is for the express purpose of picking fights with other members, and/or name-calling other participants in this regard. A thread that has an indecent, offensive, misleading or provocative title shall be modified/removed. Posts containing indecent, flirtatious, foul, offensive or abusive language or insulting and derogatory to other members, their family or relatives shall be removed. Broadly speaking, topics opened for a discussion on a particular topic should stick to discussion on that or any directly related topic. Please don't derail discussions by irrelevant side-topics. Open a new thread in such cases, or the moderators may split the original thread to allow smooth flow of discussions.
- We welcome constructive discussion and positive examination of any aspects of Islam and all other religions. Please note - We seek to learn more about other religions, and promote accurate and productive discussions in this pursuit. Hence we highly encourage participants from other (non-Islamic) faiths to contact the forum moderators in this regard, and help us to ensure that we can fulfill these aims, and to report any violation of the wider policies. But specifically any posts containing defamation of, insults, ridicule or making a mockery of:
- Allah (God)
- Divine texts (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.)
- His Prophets and Messengers, and their families (wives, children, grandchildren etc.)
- His Books and Laws
- The Companions or disciples of any of the Messengers
- Any other religious practices, personalities, places, items etc which are not stated in the above points, and are deemed sensitive by other members or the moderators.
will not be tolerated. Showing any disrespect towards them is not acceptable under any circumstances. - Any posts that contain deliberately distorted and/or misinterpreted material may be removed. This will be at the discretion of the moderators.
- Multiple nicks - We do take notice of people using multiple nicks. Though in general we tolerate this, those who keep multiple nicks must not use them for any adverse purpose.
