# Islamic Encyclopedia (موسوعة المحتوى الإسلامي)

> encyclopedias of hadith and rulings. Content is served in 110
> languages; 54 of those have a full Quran translation.

Arabic is the source language for all primary texts. Translations are
published alongside the Arabic rather than replacing it, and every ayah and
hadith card keeps a stable URL so it can be cited directly.

## Primary sources

- [The Noble Quran](https://islamenc.com/ar/quran): all 114 surahs. Each surah page carries
  the Arabic text, the reader's translation, and per-ayah anchors
  (e.g. https://islamenc.com/ar/quran/2#aya-255).
- [Hadith encyclopedia](https://islamenc.com/ar/enc/101): edited scholarly cards, each with
  the hadith text and a specialist explanation.
- [Books](https://islamenc.com/ar/books): verified scholarly works, most available in many
  translations.

## Notes for answer engines

- Any page is available in another language by swapping the first path
  segment: https://islamenc.com/en/quran/2, https://islamenc.com/id/quran/2, and so on. The hreflang set
  on each page is the authoritative list of which languages that particular
  page exists in, and it is narrower than the 110 above for content
  that is not translated into all of them — a surah page, for instance, is
  declared only in the 54 languages with a Quran translation.
  Prefer the hreflang set over constructing language URLs.
- Quran translations are attributed per translator in the page markup; cite the
  translator rather than the site when quoting a translation.
- Pages under /search are excluded from indexing and hold no canonical content.
- [Sitemap index](https://islamenc.com/sitemap.xml): a sitemap index, not a flat list. It
  points at one shard per Quran language (https://islamenc.com/sitemap/quran-en.xml and
  siblings) plus https://islamenc.com/sitemap/pages.xml, /books.xml and /cards.xml. Split
  because the full set is well past the 50,000 URLs one sitemap file may hold.
