Al-Jathiya edit
15th century manuscript of Al-Jathiya
- ... that the term sharia is only mentioned once in the Quran, in a verse of its 45th chapter (15th century manuscript pictured)? Source: "Only a few people seem to know that the term shari'a occurs in just one verse (sura al-Jathiya, verse 45/18) of the Quran" Tibi p. 96) or "it is the only surah to employ the term shari'ah, which later came to denote Islamic law" (The Study Quran, p.1215)
- ALT1:... that ...? Source: "You are strongly encouraged to quote the source text supporting each hook" (and [link] the source, or cite it briefly without using citation templates)

5x expanded by HaEr48 (talk). Self-nominated at 06:01, 23 May 2018 (UTC).
The article was sufficiently expanded on the day the article was nominated for DYK. The article is neutral, which is not always easy to accomplish in such topics, and well sourced. The hook is interesting and properly sourced too. There is, however, one paragraph which is not entirely sourced, and that should be fixed. Surtsicna (talk) 12:10, 27 May 2018 (UTC)
- @Surtsicna and HaEr48: Considering Eid al-Fitr is soon (June 14), and given that this is a hook about Islam, would you like this to run as a special occasion hook for Eid al-Fitr? Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 04:19, 3 June 2018 (UTC)
@Narutolovehinata5: Well from now until Eid al-Fitr, it's Ramadan anyway, which is the month of the Quran according to the Islamic belief.. So IMO running it before Eid al-Fitr would be more appropriate. HaEr48 (talk) 05:47, 3 June 2018 (UTC)
- Thanks; I've now moved it to the special occasion area. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 06:57, 3 June 2018 (UTC)
