I guess it was a bad move for Souniel Yadav‎ to comment at WP:ANI.-- Toddy1 (talk) 09:12, 24 October 2021 (UTC)

@Toddy1: their last comment was "Your sock puppet investigation will surely fail". Anyway, thanks for your work on it and be vigilant if they return.VR _talk 13:59, 24 October 2021 (UTC)

"Mujaddid" or "Reformer"?

Latest comment: 2 years ago2 comments2 people in discussion

Hello, thank you for tagging the failed verification to the source that I provided for the article Mujaddid in the section that lists Muhammad ibn Abd al-Wahhab. I checked it out along with the other academic references in the Bibliography section of his biography, which I wrote some time ago; the problem is, most of them (including the source that I added) refer to him using the English terms "reformer", "radical reformer", "Muslim reformer and theologian", "leader of a puritanical and reformist movement", but nowhere they use the Arabic term mujaddid.

Thanks for adding the reference, they look scholarly!

I think the Islamic concept of Mujaddid is a bit more specific than the English term "reformer", and some even translate it as renewer. I suspect many other entries in that list also don't have sources that use the exact term mujaddid. But I think I would need to read up on this topic a bit more. And maybe mujaddid should be merged with Islamic revival.VR _talk 04:08, 29 October 2021 (UTC)
