About
Curiosity first. Honesty always.
01 · Labels
Four kinds of claim
Every claim you read is labelled as one of four kinds, so you always know what you're looking at.
01
Historical finding
Supported by historical, documentary or scientific evidence that specialists broadly accept. Disputed findings are marked and explained.
For example: A manuscript is dated by radiocarbon testing.
02
Religious teaching
What Islamic sources teach. We present it as belief, cite the source text and do not label it as historical proof.
For example: The Quran teaches that honesty is a duty.
03
Scholarly interpretation
A reading of the evidence made by scholars. We say whose reading it is, cite it and note when others disagree.
For example: A historian argues why a text was written.
04
Editorial explanation
Context or framing written by our editors to help you follow the story. It is not presented as evidence and is never a substitute for a source.
For example: Before looking at the evidence, consider what you would expect to find.
Examples show how labels work; they are not claims made on this platform.

When visit counting is enabled, a random session identifier stays in memory only, not browser storage. We record anonymous sessions and general page categories for up to 18 months; a temporary keyed network hash limits abuse. Visits are not unique people. Shared links carry the experience only — never your answers.
