I've listed this article for peer review because… I would like to know how an article I have put a considerable amount of work into is received by those reading it, including suggestions for improvement.

From Philcha

I have no knowledge, so am no in a position to do a real review. But I noticed only thing you need to fix - I gone through a step of 3 wikilinks from Introduction to the Science of Hadith, and still have not found what "Hadith" means. You need a clear, concise definition. --Philcha (talk) 16:23, 15 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comments

I agree with Pilcha, some context is necessary. A one sentence (or in brackets) definition of hadith would really help in the lead.
Similarly it would be much improved if there were a section, perhaps called Background, that tells us a little more about hadith, hadith science, hadith terminology and such. Also useful would be some sense of what was going on in the Islamic world at this time; was there anything happening within the religion or politically that inspired the writer to produce this book?
Nothing is said about the writer; I know we have an article on him, but perhaps some brief points could be added to this article.
All in all, it's not a bad article, it just doesn't help a non-Muslim to understand the subject very much. --bodnotbod (talk) 17:52, 17 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
