Sources

TrueDawah is built for people who want to see the actual text behind a claim. In chat, the assistant formats citations as [[url|title]] links you can open in the source viewer.

Default Islamic sources

• Qurʼān — linked passages on quran.com. Default translation: the Clear Quran. You can ask for a different translation any time.
• Ḥadīth — linked collections on sunnah.com (Bukhārī, Muslim, Abū Dāwūd, al-Tirmidhī, al-Nasāʾī, Ibn Mājah, Mālik's Muwaṭṭaʾ, and others) where available.
• Tafsīr and Sīra— al-Ṭabarī, al-Qurṭubī, Ibn Kathīr, al-Rāzī, Ibn Hishām's Sīrah, and modern Muslim scholarship as the question requires.
• Modern Muslim scholarship — named, with publication details, where it sharpens or restricts a classical reading.

When biblical or historical sources show up

Some questions require widening the lens — for example, questions about the Bible, the historical Jesus, or pre-Islamic religion. In those cases the assistant will bring in biblical sources (typically ESV via blueletterbible.org) and historical sources(manuscripts, ancient historians, modern academic Islamic studies and biblical studies). The framing is neutral — never “the Christian response” or “the Christian case.”

If a source can't be fetched

If a link fails or the underlying site is down, the assistant should say so plainly and offer an alternate citation or wording. Method and limits are also explained on How we answer.
