WikiIslam strives to be the most comprehensive and accurate source of information on Islam freely and accessibly available online, drawing from both Islam's primary sources (the [[Qur'an]], [[hadith]] and Islamic scholars) as well as from the historical-critical (sometimes called revisionist) analysis of these primary sources by modern historians. Currently, WikiIslam hosts {{NUMBEROFARTICLES}} articles. | WikiIslam strives to be the most comprehensive and accurate source of information on Islam freely and accessibly available online, drawing from both Islam's primary sources (the [[Qur'an]], [[hadith]] and Islamic scholars) as well as from the historical-critical (sometimes called revisionist) analysis of these primary sources by modern historians.
