Indian Sub continent Zaidis versus Yemeni Zaidis & Al-Zaidis

edit

Some Zaidis are known as Wasitis. Zayd ibn Ali was martyred in Kufa, Iraq, many of his descendents either returned to al-Hijaz or remained in Iraq. Some of those who stayed in Iraq settled in Wasit. Some descendants from Wasit then moved to the Indian subcontinent. These Zaidis believe in twelve Imams and are part of the Shia Ithna Asharia. Most of them settled in India and Pakistan. The biggest group of Zaidis believing in twelve Shia Imams is known as Saadat-e-Bara. Saadat means descendant of the Prophet Muhammad and Bara means twelve in Hindi and Urdu. Saadat-e-Bara's numbers are highest in Karachi (Pakistan) and Muzaffarnagar (India).

NOTE* The Descendents of Zaid that stayed in Iraq and then moved to the subcontinent have the last name Zaidi. Zaid's descendent that returned to Al-Hijaz and then travelled to al-Asir and Sana'a have the last name Al-Zaidi. Basically Those who have the last name Zaidi are from the Subcontinent and those who have Al-Zaidi are Arab. Sub continent zaidis are not to be confused with the zaidis of Yemen. In Yemen there are two types of Zaidis: Al-Zaidis whom are descendents of Zaid ibn Ali and Zaidis, whom are followers of the Zaidi Fiqh

Al-Zaidi

Like i said there are two types of Zaidis in Yemen, Al-Zaidis whom are descendents of Zaid and Zaidis who are the followers of the Zaidi Fiqh Fivers. There are Al-Zaidis who are Fivers and those who are Twelvers. As for the Fivers, the Imamate is still open since the last Zaidi Imam of !967 CE. Any Sayyid who is a jurist and is sane has all five senses and will fight against tyranny can be the imam. Al-Zaidi

Imam Husayn Shrine

edit

Zaidi, I removed the shrine chronology from the Husayn article. First of all, it was a copyright violation. It was taken directly from one or the other of several Shi'a websites that feature it. Second, that's not really information about Husayn, but about the Imam Husayn Shrine. I don't think we have an article about that shrine, so you should start it and add the chronology -- but rephrased, so that it isn't a copyright violation. If you could find a picture that ISN'T a copyvio, that would be good too. Zora 09:50, 15 January 2006 (UTC)Reply

Salams/Greetings,

As a member of the Wikipedia community who has contributed to articles related to Islam, I thought you might be interested in a project I am trying to get going: OpenIslampedia. Please visit the site for more information.

While it is permissible to re-use content from Wikipedia (as long as it is cited appropriately and released under their GNU Free Documentation License), it is my hope that we will be able to develop new content for OpenIslampedia, more in accordance to the needs and desires of our community and audience.

Interested? Please consider joining us! As you probably know from working in Wikipedia, every contribution counts, no matter how small.

Abbas ibn Ali

edit

Good luck for developing the family information of Hazrat Abbas ibn Ali ibn Abi Talib. Most people get confused between Hazrat Abbas (brother of Imam Hussain AS and son of Hazrat Imam Ali AS) and Abbas ibn Abd-al-Muttalib (The uncle of Prophet Muhammad SAW and Imam Ali AS). That’s the reason I took of the family section because it was giving the family information of Abbas ibn Abd-al-Muttalib (The uncle of Prophet Muhammad SAW and Imam Ali AS) not the information of Hazrat Abbas (brother of Imam Hussain AS and son of Hazrat Imam Ali AS). I didn’t want non-Muslims to get confused when they read the article. Since you are saying that you have some books backing you up then, I want you to try and put the title of the book and the name of the author that wrote the book, so other people can trust the information that you are providing is accurate. Thank You Salman

Habib Bank and Bank Al-Habib

edit

Thanks for sorting that out! I was not sure when I was formating the Banks of Pakistan articles. I think there was a link of the Habib Bank in the Bank Al-Habib article so I thought it might be the same bank.

Also, according to your user page your based in Karachi. I was hoping if you can take some pics of banks in Karachi so we can add them to the different bank article e.g. Habib Bank, MCB, MyBank Ltd etc. Also the pic you took of Bank Al-Habib Link at night doesnt seem to be of good quality, if you have a better pic please upload it.

About your edit of Bank AL Habib

edit

Indeed Bank AL Habib has a lot of advertisement like elements. Please also see the talk page of the respective page. You can refer to Citibank to see a good example. If you keep on removing the tag I added before ad elements are removed, it is considered vanalism and I may have to take action to stop that. Thanks for your edits with Wikipedia and hoping to see a lot of productive contributions from you. --Sechzehn (talk · contribs) 11:35, 15 January 2007 (UTC)Reply

Fair use rationale for Image:1-link.jpg

edit
 

Thanks for uploading Image:1-link.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Thanks for uploading Image:1-link.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

October , 2007

edit

  Please stop. If you continue to add promotional material to Wikipedia, as you did to bank articles, you will be blocked from editing.

The rate a bank pays on investments is not encyclopedic information, nor is the type of Mastercards it issues. Do not add such information to wikipedia articles. That's for the bank web site, and WP gives a single external link to it. that's all that is necessary or appropriate.

Additionally, we do not use flag icons to show locations of branches, nor the logos of the various bank services, nor a description of the meaning of the images in the banks own logo. All that is non encyclopedic information also, and counts as advertising here.

Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Bankalhabib.jpg

edit

Thanks for uploading Image:Bankalhabib.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot (talk) 04:53, 12 February 2008 (UTC)Reply

Unspecified source for Image:Zaidiwaqas1.jpg

edit
 

Thanks for uploading Image:Zaidiwaqas1.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, then you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, then their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Fair use, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 07:28, 29 June 2008 (UTC).

Proposed deletion of Ubaydullah ibn al-Abbas

The article Ubaydullah ibn al-Abbas has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

No evidence that this person was notable, and no references. Searching for "Ubaydullah ibn al-Abbas" -wikipedia reveals no evidence of notability. I assume he was an important dignitary or cleric but I can't find any sources to prove it, otherwise he's just a name in a genealogy. Fails WP:BIO, WP:RS

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist.

Proposed deletion of Abdullah ibn Ali

edit
 

The article Abdullah ibn Ali has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

No notability beyond being Ali's son and dying at Karbala, no acts of his own, independently. No mention in works like the Encyclopedia of Islam, passing references at most in relevant literature. Indeed, the best-known and most often mentioned "Abdullah ibn Ali" or "Abdallah ibn Ali" in the relevant literature is the 8th-century uncle of al-Saffah, not Ali's son.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Notification of automated file description generation

edit

Your upload of File:Bahl1001.jpg or contribution to its description is noted, and thanks (even if belatedly) for your contribution. In order to help make better use of the media, an attempt has been made by an automated process to identify and add certain information to the media's description page.

It would be appreciated if you could carefully review the information the bot added. To opt out of these notifications, please follow the instructions here. Thanks!

Speedy deletion nomination of Hamza ibn Ubaydillah

edit
 

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Hamza ibn Ubaydillah requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a real person or group of people that does not credibly indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator.
