Verify quotations before sharing them

Many “Ramadan quotes” circulating online are modern sayings presented without an author or falsely attributed to hadith. This collection should distinguish Qur’anic verses, authenticated hadith translations and original editorial lines.

Three source classes

Separate the collection into Qur’anic verses, authenticated hadith translations and original editorial lines. That lets a reader know what can be cited as revelation, what is a Prophetic report and what is simply inspirational wording.

Translation caution

Different English translations can render the same Arabic text differently. Quote the translation you actually use and do not splice two translations together while presenting the result as a single published version.

Frequently asked questions

Are all Ramadan quotes online authentic?
