:Who is Madudi and what is ''Tafhimul Quran'' about? I don't have a problem with your adding the detail that Zaynab was Muhammad's cousin; although not strictly relevant to the topic, it adds interest. (But it won't shock a British reader very much. Queen Victoria also married her first cousin.) However, I probably ought to know something about the reference to which I'm supposed to have referred. I have added the early-source references that prove their kinship. | :Who is Madudi and what is ''Tafhimul Quran'' about?

:I will be writing more about Zaynab's whole family very soon. There are gaps in her biography (nobody seems to know the name of her first husband, and the popular story that Muhammad built her a nice little workshop for her leather-crafts doesn't seem to be trackable to a primary source) but a ridiculous amount is known about her five siblings.[[User:1234567|1234567]] ([[User talk:1234567|talk]]) 19:30, 16 April 2013 (PDT) | :I will be writing more about Zaynab's whole family very soon.

::You're welcome. It's a tafsir ([[W:The Meaning of the Qur'an|The Meaning of the Qur'an]]) by [[W:Abul A'la Maududi|Abul A'la Maududi]]. Thanks for adding references to the primary sources! Yeah, those Royals did love their inbreeding, but they're not the founders or lawmakers of the second largest religion. A lot of Muslims deny Muhammad ever married a cousin, and too few non-Muslims are aware of it. [[User:Sahabah|--Sahabah]] ([[User talk:Sahabah|talk]]) 22:43, 16 April 2013 (PDT) | |||
