Our Methodology
How Deen Companion approaches Sunni source transparency and safety boundaries.
Curated source registry
Public source cards are powered by a small, typed in-repo registry. Each displayed record carries a source status and last-reviewed date. The registry contains selected Qur’an passages, one Qur’anic supplication, and selected Sahih al-Bukhari records. Qur’an text links to the complete Quran.com passage. Each displayed hadith links directly to its collection reference and shows its collection, retained book or chapter metadata, number, narrator when available, English translation, and reported collection grading.
How hadith citations are presented
For the displayed Sahih al-Bukhari records, the grade is shown as a collection attribution: “Sahih — collection attribution: Sahih al-Bukhari.” This is not an additional in-house grading or a claim of scholarly endorsement. Arabic is displayed only where the exact curated Arabic text was checked with the record. A hadith card is withheld when the required public reference, wording, and metadata have not been reviewed together.
Educational explanation and rulings
Deen Companion labels its surrounding text as AI-generated educational guidance and keeps it separate from revealed text. It does not claim scholar review, endorsement, automated fact checking, or consensus where none is confirmed. Legitimate scholarly differences should be identified rather than flattened into a personal ruling; personalized fatwa questions are referred to a qualified scholar.
Safety and corrections
The experience separates spiritual reflection from medical, mental-health, legal, financial, and emergency support. Use the Report an Incorrect Source page to flag a citation, attribution, or explanation for review. Reports are reviewed as capacity allows and are not themselves scholarly rulings.
