Sources & Methodology
How Destiny Map researches, selects, verifies and corrects its Islamic content. We hold ourselves to a simple editorial standard: no fabrication, clear attribution, and honest labelling of scholarly differences.
The three tiers of Islamic reference
1. Qur'anic verses
Verses are cited by surah and ayah (e.g. Quran 2:185) and quoted in close translation. We do not invent or paraphrase verses; where a translation quotation is used it is a rendering of the Arabic, and readers are pointed to the Arabic itself. The Qur'an is the first reference for everything this platform teaches.
2. Hadith
Narrations are attributed to their collections — Sahih al-Bukhari, Sahih Muslim, Sunan Abi Dawud, Jami' at-Tirmidhi, Sunan an-Nasa'i, Sunan Ibn Majah and others. Where a hadith number is confidently verifiable it is included; where the number is not certain, we name the collection instead rather than risk an invented number. Where scholars discuss a chain or a narration's strength, we say so plainly instead of presenting it as unquestionably authentic.
3. Fiqh / scholarly positions
Matters on which the schools differ are presented as differences, not as a single universal ruling. We name the position where it matters — e.g. 'the Hanafi school holds…', 'a minority position associated with Ibn Hazm…', 'most scholars say…'. We do not invent scholarly consensus, and we never present a contested view as though it were agreed.
Our commitments in practice
Where citations live
Every dua card, guide section and knowledge article shows its sources inline — verse references as Quran s:x, hadith by collection (and number where verifiable), and fiqh positions attributed to the school or scholar.
What 'scholars differ' means here
It means an honest body of respected scholars holds a different well-reasoned view. We do not pick a winner for you on consequential fiqh; we state the range and point you to a qualified scholar for your case.
What we will never do
Invent a verse, a hadith, a hadith number, a scholarly consensus, or an author's credential. If a source cannot be verified, it is not manufactured — the content says so instead.
Treated with care
This is an educational platform, not a fatwa authority. Rulings for your personal circumstances come from qualified scholars in your locality. We say that everywhere a ruling question could arise.
How content is produced and reviewed
- 1Content is written from well-known primary sources, not scraped or rewritten from other websites.
- 2Every article, dua and guide displays its sources in the page itself, next to the claim.
- 3Where a point is disputed — qada' for missed prayers, wudu nullifiers, Eid prayer details — the difference is stated and readers are directed to qualified scholars.
- 4Each guide carries a review date, and the editorial policy commits us to re-reading content before updating that date.
- 5A 'Report a correction' control on every content page lets readers flag wrong references, translations, or broken links; corrections to religious content are treated as highest priority.
Full detail is in our Editorial Policy and the correction mechanism lives on every content page. For personal religious rulings, always consult a qualified scholar.
