A mistake in demographics

edit

Hi In the Demographics section it says that Shia Muslims are majority in 3 countries: Iraq, Iran and Azerbaijan. This is wrong because Shia Muslims are majority in 4 countries: Iraq, Iran, Azerbaijan and Bahrain. According to the same article it says that 65-70 persent of people in Bahrain are Shia Muslims i.e. the majority Inspector88 (talk) 03:39, 20 March 2024 (UTC)Reply

Grammar

edit

The grammar of the second sentence needs correcting. It currently reads “…but was prevented from succeeding…” but should read instead “…but that Ali was prevented from succeeding…”. PulvisEtCinerem (talk) 21:17, 31 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

spelling of Arabic word صحابة in the intro

edit


  • what I think should be changed:
some of Muhammad's other companions (Arabic: صحابہ, romanized: sahaba)
some of Muhammad's other companions (Arabic: صحابة, romanized: ṣaḥāba)
  • why it should be changed: the current romanization is missing the diacritics for "emphatic" consonants and long vowels, and the Arabic text for some reason uses the Urdu? letter gol he instead of regular Arabic ha.
  • references: this Wiktionary entry for the word itself, and also the article on gol he, which says the letter is used in Urdu, not in Arabic. (the letter at the end shouldn't even be a ha to begin with, it's a ta marbuta.)

Bro The Man I've trimmed this section a little to keep the definitions of Arabic terms, but cut down the rest; articles don't have to explain to how to apply adjectives. The comment about "European languages" was just plain inaccurate. PepperBeast (talk) 17:02, 29 October 2024 (UTC)Reply
