Sources & Citations

Revert Guide uses sources to help new Muslims see where religious, practical, health, and tool guidance comes from. Sources do not replace a qualified local imam, scholar, clinician, or professional for personal situations.

How Revert Guide Uses Sources

What counts as a Quran translation?

English Quran text on this site is a translation of meaning, not the Arabic Quran itself. Arabic text should come from a verified Quran text source.

How hadith citations are shown

Hadith-based guidance should keep the collection name, numbering, URL, and grading when that information is available.

When to ask a local imam

For personal fiqh questions, family complications, marriage, finance, or sensitive details, use this site as a starting point and ask a qualified local imam or scholar.

When to seek professional help

Mental health content is educational and supportive. Crisis, medical, legal, and financial concerns need qualified professional support.

How to Use Sources Without Feeling Overwhelmed

You do not need to master source criticism immediately. Start with the basics, learn from reliable teachers, and ask qualified people when a matter affects your worship, family, health, or finances. Source tags are here to build trust and transparency, not to add pressure.
