To me this is just another misleading article that portrays islam and islamic history and heritage in the wrong way.

| :Because the [[MOS:LEAD|lead section]] summarizes the information provided in the rest of the article, and because everything in the rest of the article is thoroughly grounded in reliable sources of the highest quality (you might want to check out the some of the [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.ph...ise_was_promised&oldid=1215910158#Works_cited scholars, publications, and publishers] used in the article, such as [[Clifford Edmund Bosworth]], [[Johann Fück]], [[H. A. R. Gibb]], [[W. Montgomery Watt]], [[G.H.A. Juynboll]], [[Wilferd Madelung]], [[Hossein Modarressi]], [[Josef van Ess]], ''[[Encyclopaedia of Islam]]'', ''[[Bulletin of the School of Oriental and African Studies]]'', [[Cambridge University Press]], etc. etc.), the well-sourced information summarized in the lead is [[WP:V|wp:verifiable]] too. | |
| :Leaving out duplicate citations like this in the lead section is a very common practice in [[WP:GA|Good articles]] and [[WP:FA|Featured articles]], despite the fact that the relevant section of Wikipedia's manual of style ([[MOS:LEADCITE]]) does not explicitly recommend it, and instead just barely allows it. I guess the idea is to avoid the clutter caused by the reference numbers, or perhaps just to look like other high-quality articles (since they are all doing it). It is however unfortunate that it creates the illusion of the information provided in the lead being unsourced, as your comment shows. It would be nice if someone would take a look at the sources used and add them to the lead section as appropriate. <span style="text-shadow:#000 0em 0em 1em">☿ [[User:Apaugasma|<span style="color:#6a0dad">Apaugasma</span>]] ([[User talk:Apaugasma|<span style="color:#000">talk</span>]] [[Special:Contributions/Apaugasma|☉]])</span> 08:24, 29 April 2024 (UTC) |
