Our sources & methodology

What is published here

• 4 4 ayat
• 3 3 hadith
• 6 6 duas
• 5 5 verified sources

Four rules we do not bend

• Verbatim quotation

  Published translations are quoted word for word, including their punctuation and their older phrasing. We copy; we do not retype and we do not improve.

• Grading always shown

  Every hadith carries its grading. Where recognised graders disagree, both gradings are shown — we never quietly pick the more convenient one.

• Never machine-translated

  No translation API, library or model has ever touched a religious text here. Not at build time, not at runtime, not as a draft. A build that imports one fails.

• Weak narrations named

  Da'if and fabricated narrations are excluded. Where a popular practice rests on a weak narration, we say so rather than dress it in authentic-looking chrome.

Translation sources in use

Every source below is recorded in the repository, with its translator, its publisher and its licence status. A quotation whose source is not on this list cannot be rendered.

  Web republication permission not yet obtained. Short attributed excerpts only until confirmed (roadmap §5.7, open question 5).

  Every dua taken from this collection is also carried with its own primary-collection reference (Bukhari, Muslim, etc.) and grading, so the reader is never asked to trust the compilation alone.

  Translator attribution varies by collection, which is why the translator field names the pattern rather than one person. Where a specific narration's translator is known, it is recorded on the entry's own note.

  A known gap, stated on /authenticity: these editions carry no named translator in their metadata, so attribution can only be given at publisher level. We do not invent a translator name to make the line look complete.

Where we fall short

Stated plainly, because a gap you hide becomes a gap someone trusts.

• No verified Urdu translation is published on this website yet, so Urdu readers are shown the verified English with a visible note.
• No verified Arabic translation is published on this website yet, so Arabic readers are shown the verified English with a visible note.
• Web republication permission is still pending for 5 of our 5 sources, so this site publishes only short, clearly attributed excerpts rather than a full corpus.
• 1 of our sources carry no named translator in their own metadata; attribution for those is given at publisher level rather than invented.
