@Nikkimaria: I used new sources for this article. For example for selected phrase for DYK nomination I used 2 new sources. Encyclopedia of Fiqh Moqaren by Ayatollah MakaRim Shirazi (Source 1) and Know and Follow the Straight Path: Finding Common Ground between Sunnis and Shi’as by Tallal Alie Turfe where(Source 3) added by me.Homiho (talk) 11:14, 4 October 2015 (UTC)

Homiho, there is less than 500 characters of readable prose that is original to this article (see this diff), and you haven't attributed the authors of the articles you've copied from, as is required by WP:CWW. Nikkimaria (talk) 11:58, 4 October 2015 (UTC)

@Nikkimaria: See this result of DYK check tool: Prose size (text only): 1884 characters (313 words) "readable prose size" You see all things are correct for Dyk.Homiho (talk) 10:16, 5 October 2015 (UTC)

@Homiho: Over 1400 of those characters were copied from other articles. Rule A5 says that "If some of the text in a nominated article was copied from another Wikipedia article, and the copied text is more than seven days old, then it must be expanded fivefold as if the copied text had been a separate article". That would mean you would have to write about 5600 characters of original content, but you've written less than a tenth of that. Rule 4 also says that articles have to respect copyright rules - this one does not because you have not properly attributed the content copied from other articles.

Note: closing the nomination as unsuccessful; it only has 426 original prose characters, and the nominator has not edited on Wikipedia since the DYKcheck comment over a week ago. BlueMoonset (talk) 20:25, 12 October 2015 (UTC)
