Divisions of the world in Islam
[edit]There is a discussion at Talk:Divisions of the world in Islam#Removal of sourced content that could use input from editors with subject matter knowledge. -- LCU ActivelyDisinterested «@» °∆t° 15:16, 13 July 2024 (UTC)
Should this article be restructured? Personally I think there should be sections on greater jihad, lesser jihad, and then history of usage as I think that might be more logical. Kowal2701 (talk) 16:26, 15 July 2024 (UTC)
The islamic Articles should be named by their islamic terms.
[edit]The islamic Articles should be named by their islamic(Arabic) terms like the page "Abraham in Islam" should be named as Ibrahim, similarly the page Gospel in Islam should be named as "Injeel" or the page Islamic funeral should be named as "janazah". User.inu6 (talk) 12:55, 24 July 2024 (UTC)
- الإنجيل في الإسلام translates as The Gospel in Islam (Google Translate) starts Injil (Arabic: إنجيل, romanized: ʾInjīl, alternative spellings: Ingil or Injeel)
- إبراهيم في الإسلام translates as Abraham in Islam
- الميت (إسلام) translates as Washing the dead (Islam) (Google Translate
- How would using the Arabic benefit the English speaking reader? Tiny Particle (talk) 14:33, 24 July 2024 (UTC)
- I'm going to answer my own question here. In many cases there is no one English translation for the Arabic word/ phrase. But in many cases there is one succinct English word/ phrase but no one agreed Arabic word/ phrase. When I first took an interest in the subject I found it almost impenetrable due to the amount of surplus Arabic jargon. Tiny Particle (talk) 01:31, 25 July 2024 (UTC)
- I did not mention using arabic language but islamic terminologies. Like janazah for islamic funeral, i mean, "janazah" is the actual term and the short desceiption of it is "Islamic funeral", etc User.inu6 (talk) 14:39, 24 July 2024 (UTC)
- جنازة (jinaza) translates as funeral. This is the Arabic wikipedia article for جنازة . It is clear from the translation that the term encompasses all Abrahamic funerals - not exclusively Islamic funerals. Tiny Particle (talk) 14:58, 24 July 2024 (UTC)
- How would using the Arabic benefit the English speaking reader? Tiny Particle (talk) 14:33, 24 July 2024 (UTC)

Siege of Baghdad. Legacy
[edit]Could you check the following statements attributed to Israeli historian Michal Biran in the Siege of Baghdad article? They seem contradictory, or perhaps they are disputed by other historians.
Whereas an oft-quoted description from a 16th-century historian details that so many books from Baghdad's libraries were thrown into the Tigris that "the colour of the river changed into black from their multitude," the historian Michal Biran has shown that large libraries reopened for learning and teaching within two years of the siege. Hulegu and his successors as rulers of the Ilkhanate actively patronized and encouraged musical and literary traditions; it was subsequent sieges like those conducted by Timur in 1393 and 1401 and by the Ottomans in 1534 that ensured the city's long-term marginalization.
