Hello, I'm PBASH607. I wanted to let you know that I undid one or more of your recent contributions to Islamic calendar because it did not appear constructive. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. PrabashWhat? 21:32, 5 June 2013 (UTC)

Hello

Iam a sunni muslim from india who regularly visits wikipedia page as i find the information available is good & worthy. Recently i browsed a wiki page namely 'islamic calendar' which is loaded with a picture depicting the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). As it is a known fact across the world that Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) is the messenger of god & is praised by all muslims to have brought islam to the world. He is indeed the most sacred of all.

During his life he never took any picture nor allowed anybody to make a portrait of him as islam is totally against images of any human being to have lived. It is very disheartening to see the image which depicts the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) teaching few Nazi's the verses. I would request you to please edit the content which will remove the image. Also please use the tag line (PBUH - Peace Be Upon Him) every time after the prophet name comes on the page. Millions of muslims & non-muslims throng the wiki pages every day & this kind of wrong content will surely mislead them.

Please consider my request and do the needful.

Thank you for explaining the situation! It certainly can be difficult to resolve religious beliefs on Wikipedia, but there are some general standards based on previous discussions of concerns such as the ones you mention. Talk:Muhammad/images is about use of pictures (the image you removed even explicitly says "Please see Talk:Muhammad/FAQ and discuss on the talk page before removing this image"!), and WP:PBUH (as discussed at Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style/Islam-related articles is the current guideline for use of that tagline.

It is very very disheartening and hurting the sentiments of muslims. If a person is portarting the picture of prophet then he is not a muslim. In the FAQs it is mentioned that by removing the picture, it is hurting muslim community, but please note that no one is muslim until and unless he/she or who ever is, love and respect prophet. If you say that some muslim communites or other communites will get hurt if you remove the picture, those communites are not muslims and no one has the authority to point and disrespect prophet. Soon, these people will be found in hell.

Anyway, I am closing my account with Wikipedia and I will not associate myself and the people I know to brows Wikipedia.
