Goals

This is a project aimed at increasing the quality of the articles related to the Quran, elevating the articles to "Good article" standard, and then all the way to "Featured article" standard.

We do this by:

• Making sure all statements are sourced using the "<ref>source</ref>" model
• Making sure the articles follow the given standards.

As of 2013-06-15, we have 0 (Zero) article in the "Good article" standard and 0 (zero) in the "Featured article" standard.

{{WikiProject Islam|class=|importance=|religious-texts=yes|religious-texts-importance=}} is added to the top of the talk pages of the article relevant to this project. This will make them appear on the Category:WikiProject Quran.

Scope

• Scope of this project is to write articles covering first the 114 Surahs of the Quran
• Secondary scope is to link articles relating to the Quran (such as scientific discoveries, which are already mentioned in the Quran)

Guidelines

ادْعُ إِلَىٰ سَبِيلِ رَبِّكَ بِالْحِكْمَةِ وَالْمَوْعِظَةِ الْحَسَنَةِ وَجَادِلْهُم بِالَّتِي هِيَ أَحْسَنُ إِنَّ رَبَّكَ هُوَ أَعْلَمُ بِمَن ضَلَّ عَن سَبِيلِهِ وَهُوَ أَعْلَمُ بِالْمُهْتَدِينَ
Call people to the path of your Lord with wisdom and goodly exhortation, and argue with them in the most kindly manner. Your Lord knows best who strays from His path and who are rightly guided. (16:125)

A suggested outline for articles devoted to each of the Surah of the Quran could be as follows:

• Name
• Timing and contextual background of revelation (Asbab an nuzul)
• Theme and Subject Matter
• Translation and Transliteration
• Commentary (Ruku wise Tafsir)
• Grammatical and linguistic analysis
• Implications of the Surah / Ruku' on a Muslim's life
• Quranic order

• Relative to other Surahs

• Relation to topics discussed in previous and next Surahs
• Relation to overall place (Hizb, topical groupings etc)

• Relative to time of revelation

• Relevant Ahadith

• Ahadith mentioning Tafsir or other details of the Surah
• Ahadith mentioning the benefits of the Surah

• Common misconceptions and misunderstandings
• Scientific, historic & other facts in the Surah
• See also
• Notes and References
• External links

As a general rule, Surahs having more than 2 Ruku's can have separate Wikipedia articles for each couple of Ruku. Those with less than 2 Ruku's can have a single Wikipedia article. The 7Cs of effective communication is a good guide on how to write effectively in English. Of course, Manual of Style relating to Islamic articles, Wikipedia's Plain and Simple and Wikipedia's Cheat Sheet are a great resource for new editors. Further, please use the Template:Cite quran wherever applicable to standardize the manner in which the Quran is quoted throughout Wikipedia.

Open tasks

To-do list for Wikipedia:WikiProject Quran: edit · history · watch · refresh · Updated 2014-08-25 Here are some tasks awaiting attention: Categorization : The tag {{WikiProject Islam|class=start|importance=high|religious-texts=yes|religious-texts-importance=high}} has to be added to talk pages of all 114 Articles related to each Surah of the Quran. Once the article on any Surah is substantially completed as per the above guidelines, change the class to B, i.e., {{WikiProject Islam|class=B|importance=high|religious-texts=yes|religious-texts-importance=high}}. Once you're satisfied that your article is a Good Article as defined in the Good article criteria article, feel free to submit it for review so it can be officially nominated as a Good article.
