[edit] Merge Buraq into this article

The article Buraq, likely to remain a stub, should be merged into this article. ---Mpatel (talk) 09:56, September 3, 2005 (UTC)

Buraq is actually quite an attractive article as it stands; I don't see any reason for merger. --Mel Etitis (Μελ Ετητης) 10:53, 3 September 2005 (UTC)

Nah, I think it's fine as it is. Buraq is already on the edge of stub/not stub and I'm sure there is something somewhere to be added about the Buraq in art. gren グレン 11:16, 3 September 2005 (UTC)

I disagree with the intended merger as well as the statement that Buraq is likely to be a stub. I oppose the merger strongly & would like to request for support of expansion of that article. -- ĐõÇ §αмέЄЯ  21:02, 11 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Similarities

What about the similarities with other stories such as the Zoroastrian Book of Arda Viraf, or Dante's Inferno? Perhaps worth mention? Khirad^talk 15:48, 12 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Lets merge Isra and Miraj

Lets merge Isra and Miraj, as they both happened on the same night and are very related. 172.147.89.10 21:52, 11 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Merge Mai'raj into this article

Looks like Mai'raj was created without knowledge of this article. I agree it should be merged into Isra and Mi'raj, and then turned into a redirect. --Elonka 19:44, 2 April 2006 (UTC)

• (Note: Merge completed) --Elonka 19:27, 9 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Merge Lailat al Miraj into this article

It makes sense to add information regarding the celebration of Isra and Mi'raj into an all encompassing article.--72.25.66.28 05:37, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

• I STRONGLY AGREE!. Lailat al Miraj is such a small article and is soo very small and also closly related.68.77.153.22 18:24, 9 August 2007 (UTC)FK

• I agree with a merge as well. I've added the merge templates, let's give a few days for other people to offer opinions. --Elonka 19:26, 9 August 2007 (UTC)

• Agreed - the topics are too intimately related to warrant separate articles. MP ^{(talk•contribs)} 20:03, 9 August 2007 (UTC)

• Strongly Agree - both the articles are of the same inherent topic. -- ĐõÇ §αмέЄЯ  21:06, 11 August 2007 (UTC)

Merge completed. --Elonka 01:29, 18 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] OBE

Seems like he had an Out-of-body experience. The similarities are striking. --Der Eberswalder 17:52, 19 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Cultural Authenticity of Painting

The painting appears to be Korean, even unto the cloud designs used. The facial characteristics of those portrayed also appear to be Korean.

[edit] Link

this could be used to expand the article in a more technical maner. --Striver 02:03, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] 'Prophet' Muhammad

Saying 'prophet' Muhammad violate the Wikipedia style guide just like Jesus 'Christ'. Just say Muhammad and Jesus is enough.Opiner 06:40, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

That is cool. I agree, please check your talk page. Almaqdisi ^{talk to me} 06:46, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

Cool. thanks. Here is the style manual it is mostly pretty reasonable and has some good tips.Wikipedia:Manual of Style (Islam-related articles)Opiner 07:38, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Quotations

I changed all the quotes to Yusufali's translation. I have no preference which translation is used, but I thought they should all be the same one. Tom Harrison ^Talk 13:39, 8 May 2007 (UTC)
