How we write, source, and correct.

Sources

• The Quran. Arabic is copied from the Tanzil Uthmani text (tanzil.net), unaltered. English is the 1930 translation by Marmaduke Pickthall, which is in the public domain, quoted exactly with its reference. We never generate or paraphrase a verse and present it as a translation. On the Spanish pages, verses are quoted exactly from the translation by Isa García, published by QuranEnc (quranenc.com).
• Hadith. Sayings of the Prophet, peace be upon him, are quoted only with their collection and number (for example, Sahih al-Bukhari 69) and checked against the collection itself. Numbers follow the standard numbering used by sunnah.com. On the Spanish pages, a quoted hadith comes from HadeethEnc, the Encyclopedia of Translated Prophetic Hadiths (hadeethenc.com); where no verified Spanish text exists, we give the meaning in our own words and mark it as a paraphrase.
• Tradition. Pages are written from mainstream Sunni scholarship. Where the schools of law legitimately differ, such as details of prayer, we say so rather than presenting one view as the only one.
• Local facts. Addresses, phone numbers, and times are checked against the organization’s own publications where possible, and dated when they can change. We never invent a local detail; where we could not confirm something, the page says so or leaves it out.

Limits we keep

• No fatwas. Pages explain general teaching. Religious rulings on personal situations are for qualified scholars and imams, and the site says so wherever it matters.
• No speaking for others. Pueblo Islam does not speak for the masjid in Pueblo or any organization it links to.
• No invented people or numbers. There are no made-up testimonials, staff, statistics, or fundraising totals on this site.

How AI is used

The writing on this site was drafted with substantial help from AI tools, including Anthropic’s Claude, working under the direction of Ameen Systems. We say that plainly because it is true. What that does and does not mean:

• Every Quran verse and every quoted hadith is copied from a verified source text and cited. None is written by AI. Where a page gives the meaning of a hadith in its own words, it says so or cites it as a teaching, not a quotation.
• The Spanish pages were translated from the English with AI assistance and checked against the English page by page. No verse or quoted hadith was translated by AI.
• Every local fact was looked up and checked against its source.
• Messages you send through the site are never processed by AI; a person reads and answers them.
• There are no AI-generated images on the site.

The privacy policy says the same thing, in the same words where it matters.

Corrections

If something on this site is wrong, out of date, unclear, or unfair, please tell us: contact@puebloislam.com, or the contact form. A Spanish page that reads wrong or unnatural is worth telling us about too. Errors of fact are corrected promptly. Where a correction changes the meaning of a page, the page says what was corrected and when.

Independence

The organizations listed in the Reading Room are there because they are careful and widely trusted. Pueblo Islam has no connection with them, receives nothing for listing them, and does not agree with every view each one publishes.
