The credibility of Islam Love Peace rests on the accuracy, fairness, and clarity of our content. Our Editorial and Fact-Checking Policy outlines the strict standards we adhere to in creating, reviewing, and publishing all information related to Islamic law (Sharia) and discourse.
1. Editorial Integrity and Fairness
Our editorial process is designed to ensure that all content is free from bias, sensationalism, and misrepresentation.
- Non-Partisan Stance: We maintain a neutral, scholarly approach. Our goal is to explain Islamic law as it is understood by the mainstream tradition, avoiding undue influence from specific political or sectarian agendas.
- Balance and Objectivity: When discussing areas of jurisprudential difference (ikhtilāf), we strive to present the various established opinions fairly and objectively, citing the strongest evidence (dalīl) where appropriate, without disparaging other valid views.
- Clarity of Opinion: If an article presents a scholarly opinion (fatwa) preferred by the author, it is always based on established Islamic legal principles and clearly delineated from generally accepted consensus rulings.
2. Fact-Checking and Verification Process
Given the sensitive nature of religious law, strict fact-checking is paramount. Our verification process focuses on authenticity and accurate sourcing:
| Source Type | Verification Standard |
|---|---|
| Qur'an Verses | Exact citation (Chapter:Verse) is verified against a recognized Arabic text and standard English translation. |
| Hadith/Sunnah | Authenticity level (e.g., Ṣaḥīḥ, Ḥasan) is verified through classical and contemporary science of Ḥadīth (Mustalaḥ al-Ḥadīth). Full reference to the collection (e.g., Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī) is provided. |
| Classical Rulings | Must be cross-referenced against original texts (mutūn) and commentaries (shurūḥ) of the four major schools of jurisprudence (Hanafi, Maliki, Shafi’i, Hanbali). |
| Historical Data | Verified using multiple reliable, non-Islamic, and Islamic historical academic sources to ensure accuracy. |
| Contextual Application | Legal explanations are reviewed to ensure they are applicable and understandable within the contemporary context, particularly for readers in the West. |
3. Author Expertise and Accountability
Content creation is overseen by our author, Akhmad Syafiuddin, whose credentials ensure a high level of scholarly quality:
- Expert Review: As a graduate of Al-Azhar University, Cairo, Mr. Syafiuddin personally reviews and verifies all legal content before publication.
- Commitment to Revision: If a factual error is identified post-publication, we commit to correcting it promptly and transparently. We encourage readers to bring potential inaccuracies to our attention via the contact information provided.
