Welcome to the Project Ilm Wiki.

﷽ Bismillah al-Rahman al-Rahim (In the Name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful).

We are creating the ultimate, comprehensive online repository of Islamic knowledge. Project Ilm aims to be the biggest and most accessible Islamic encyclopedia globally, covering history, theology, jurisprudence, culture, and more. This is a collaborative, community-driven effort, and we invite you to contribute your expertise to this noble goal.

At Project Ilm, our core mission is built upon a dual commitment: uncompromising authenticity and rigorous objectivity.

We strive to create an Islamic resource that is trustworthy, balanced, and free from sectarian or personal bias. While the pursuit of perfect neutrality is challenging, we dedicate ourselves to ensuring that all articles and content adhere to the highest standards of scholarship and fairness.

Authenticity (Qur'an and Sunnah):

The foundational source for all information on this Wiki is the Authentic Qur'an and Sunnah. We aim to ground all theological, legal, and historical discussions in the primary sources of Islam. Specifically:

Qur'an:

All interpretations and references must be supported by established, authoritative classical and contemporary tafsir (exegesis).

Sunnah (Prophetic Tradition):

We prioritize narrations that are rigorously authenticated (Sahih and Hasan) and clearly cited with references to reliable compilations (kutub al-sittah and other recognized works). Any discussions regarding differing views on the authenticity of a tradition must be presented fairly.

Objectivity and Neutrality (Unbiased Approach):

We recognize the vast diversity of thought within the Islamic tradition. Therefore, content on Project Ilm is developed with a Neutral Point of View (NPOV). This means:

Fair Representation:

Where established differences of opinion (ikhtilāf) exist among the major schools of jurisprudence (madhāhib) or theological traditions, these perspectives must be presented without preference or bias.

Attribution:

All claims, interpretations, and opinions must be attributed to their respective schools, scholars, or groups. The goal is to inform the reader about what different groups believe, not to advocate for one position over another.

Factual Basis:

We strictly separate factual, historical information from theological or legal interpretations, ensuring facts are well-sourced and verifiable.

By upholding this dedication to both authenticity and objectivity, we aim for Project Ilm to be a reliable and balanced encyclopedia for all who seek knowledge of Islam.
