Religious knowledge, with sources

Whatever you read,see its source too.

At Siraj every claim has its own source. We do not hide disagreements. And nothing sensitive is published without a person approving it.

  • A fixed version
  • A clear source
  • Disagreement in view
  • A person approves

17 days ago25 Rabi al-Thani 1448 AH (computed)

Siraj computes the lunar date. It may differ by a day or two from the calendar announced after the moon is sighted.

Verse of that day

وَأَصْحَابُ مَدْيَنَ ۖ وَكُذِّبَ مُوسَىٰ فَأَمْلَيْتُ لِلْكَافِرِينَ ثُمَّ أَخَذْتُهُمْ ۖ فَكَيْفَ كَانَ نَكِيرِ

(And) the dwellers in Midian. And Moses was denied; but I indulged the disbelievers a long while, then I seized them, and how (terrible) was My abhorrence!

Surah الحج, verse 44

The verse of each day is chosen by the date alone. The text comes, unchanged, from Tanzil Project. The translation is the work of Marmaduke Pickthall and comes, unchanged, from Alfred A. Knopf, New York, 1930 (first edition).

Claims: 1, Sources: 1, Reviewed by a person

How Siraj decides

From draft to publication, every step is recorded.

No text goes straight from a writer or from AI to the site. Every important change is recorded: who, when, what changed, why, and who approved it.

  1. DraftThe writer writes a fixed version. Each claim is recorded on its own. A person
  2. AI proposalAI separates the claims and looks at the sources and contradictions. The result is only a proposal for that version. The model and its cost are recorded too. May not publish
  3. Source checkA person compares each source with its copy and sees where in the source the text appears. A person
  4. Expert opinionHadith, fatwas, disputed history and sensitive topics do not move on without an expert’s approval. A person
  5. Language editingTranslation and tone are checked. Machine translation is clearly marked. A person
  6. Published by a personSomeone with permission publishes that same version and writes down why. A person, with permission

A fixed rule: AI never publishes. It does not change the site’s text without notice, and it does not have the last word. It only makes a proposal for one specific version. A person accepts or rejects it.
