Entity is an entry for a person or a group.
Criteria #
In addition to the general criteria for inclusion, below are criteria which are specific to entity.
- Is a muslim.
- Produced or contributed to an Islamic work.
- Does not have major deviancy in aqidah.
If an entity does not fulfill any of the above criteria, then it is either rejected or debatable at best.
An exception can be made to non-muslim who contributed as a publisher or minor role (i.e. staff role). This usually happen when a muslim author who lives in non-muslim country need to rely to a secular entity.
For a non-muslim entry, contact the moderators for it to be reviewed. The entry must be locked once it is included in fil-afaq. Any other works by the said entity that are not relevant must not be included as well.
