First lets not bring false information into this platform,

Niqab is NOT an Islamic practice, yes it practiced by many women in some Islamic countries, but it doesn't belong to Islam.

Biggest evidence is that its forbidden to wear it while performing the great pilgrimage or Haj in Mecca as well as Jews and Christians used to wear it decades ago.

And polygamy is also present in other religions as Mormon christians and orthodox jews

The question doesn't say that the niqab is a universal Islamic practice, simply that *some* Muslim women wear it. And the polygyny question similarly doesn't say "Islam is the only religion", it simply states that it is tolerated. Neither of those are false statements.

As a Muslim (largely non-practicing), I can affirm that most Muslims take their religion too seriously, and can be outraged by the slightest remark over Islam.

As we are trying to set the record straight, Mormons haven’t sanctioned the practice of polygamy for over 100 years. I’m not sure you should include them in the list of those who practice polygamy since polygamy is now a cause for excommunication. Just sayin...

That's just false. Have you ever studied fiqh (Islamic jurisprudence) ? The practice of covering one's face has existed since the beginning. It was mandatory for Muhammad's wives and there are narrations that show that others women did it. However, the vast majority of jurists don't view it as mandatory, as there is much evidence it's not. Do you really think jurists don't know about the evidence you are talking about ? It's been written about over and over.

I would say it qualifies as Islamic, as there are some Muslims who believe it is sanctioned by Islam and others who wear it with a religious intention.

Depends on the country and tradition. In most cases it is done as a baby, but some do it at the age of seven or later. Turkey is one example where its traditional to do it that way.

No,it is almost always done when the person is still a baby, normally withing the first 3 months after birth. I was surprised to learn that some parents wait for their sons to have reached the age of 5-6 to get it done.

"No, it is almost always done when the person is still a baby" Don't make statements like that when you don't know how it really is in other countries/cultures. In North Africa, it is usually done later, and I know it's not the only region that does it that way. There is no age set in stone in the texts, so the original comment is neither right nor wrong.

I would hope that if you're going to get it, it's done early on. It's pretty bad when the anesthetic wears off, I've heard.

Please add type-ins for Arabic words like "Niqab". In South Asian countries, it is pronounced and spelled "naqab". As translation of Arabic phonetics to English is done poorly, it seems fair that type-ins should be added. Suggested ones: "naqab", "Makkah", "jehad", "zakah" and "zakaah".

Makkah is already accepted. Since Makkah and Madinah are the official transliterations, they are always allowed as type-ins on Jetpunk.

Zakah ends the same way as words like Makkah, Madinah or Kaabah, but for some reason, "zakat" is more popular in transliterations. It should always be allowed a type-in however (same for salah/t). Zakaah is asking to much in my sense.

I understand that some people transcribe "i" as "e" in words like jehad, but a word naqab is just a local distortion, and quizzes don't have to accommodate all local distortions, especially when they are not used in English texts.

Does every Arabic speaker transcribe English perfectly, every time? How do they fare with Chinese scripts, or languages that use Cyrillic alphabets?

Honestly, every time a word from a non-Latin script language appears you can predict with astonishing accuracy that there will be someone complaining about the transcription, as though every quiz setter ought to have a PhD in linguistics. Usually for no other purpose than to show off themselves.

Perhaps someone could post a link to where I might find the authoritative, universally agreed standard for correct Arabic-English transcription, because I hadn’t realised there was one!

Why do you assume it's to show off? I would imagine the person in question (on any quiz) simply tried those spellings and they weren't accepted.

"Allāhu Akbar" doesn't mean "God is great". Great in Arabic is kabīr, akbar is either a comparative ("greater") or a superlative ("greatest"), depending of the context. As God is not compared to something in this phrase, akbar has to translated as greatest.

"Islamic version of the Biblical character Joseph" is wrong : it's just the Arabic equivalent of his name. Christian and Jews who speak Arabic also call him that way.

Even when Muslims use a specific name, as they do for Jesus and John the Baptist, it refers to the very same person, so it is weird to talk about a "version".

On another note, the hint for zakah is OK but slightly inaccurate. What you described is zakah on gold and silver or their modern equivalents. There also are other types of zakah that are less known as they don't affect most people. They are paid on crops, minerals, merchandise, cattle and some other stuff, using different calculation rules

And how much of that did you want the quiz setter to fit into the space provided for the question? How much extra time would you suggest adding on for all of the extra reading that would be required when formulating questions which reach the exacting standards of Jetpunk’s pedant army?

Yusuf is not the "Islamic version" of Joseph. It is simply the Arabic term. Arab christians use the term Yusuf to refer to Joseph.

4 wife part has lots of interpretations, if you read the Quran in most English translations, you sort of feel the implication that there really is no limit to how many wives one can have. Also, the Quran uses a lot of specific numbers that aren't always meant to be taken literally, and just to exaggerate or prove a point. But most communities that do practice polygamy make the max 4 because that was the most the prophet had at one point

That is not true at all, the Quran explicitly states you can marry up to 4 wives if you can treat them all equally, i dont know if that is an english translation error. also prophet Muhammad SAW had upto 14 wives at one time
