- what I think should be changed:
| − | some of Muhammad's other companions (Arabic: | + | some of Muhammad's other companions (Arabic: صحابة, romanized: ṣaḥāba) |
- why it should be changed: the current romanization is missing the diacritics for "emphatic" consonants and long vowels, and the Arabic text for some reason uses the Urdu? letter gol he instead of regular Arabic ha.
- references: this Wiktionary entry for the word itself, and also the article on gol he, which says the letter is used in Urdu, not in Arabic. (the letter at the end shouldn't even be a ha to begin with, it's a ta marbuta.)

Terminology edits
editBro The Man I've trimmed this section a little to keep the definitions of Arabic terms, but cut down the rest; articles don't have to explain to how to apply adjectives. The comment about "European languages" was just plain inaccurate. PepperBeast (talk) 17:02, 29 October 2024 (UTC)
