About the platform
A knowledge platform — not a fatwa engine
The Islamic Global Reference brings the published corpus of Al-Azhar Al-Sharif and Dar Al-Iftaa Al-Misriyyah into one platform, under Dar Al-Iftaa and the General Secretariat for Fatwa Authorities Worldwide.
Built on Dar Al-Iftaa scholarship
Decades of Dar Al-Iftaa fatwas, the published volumes by Egypt's Grand Muftis since 1895, the Al-Azhar magazine archive, the Kutub al-Sittah, classical biographical works, and tafsir entries — all indexed and cross-citable.
Scholar-reviewed, verifiably
Every kid-facing artifact passes through a review queue. Approved items carry a 'Reviewed by …' badge tied to a named scholar + timestamp + content hash. Drift between rendered text and the approved version is flagged automatically.
Every claim is sourced
Research and fatwa answers always include the underlying source cards — Mufti, year, fatwa number, page, or hadith number — so you can verify what's being said and where it came from.
Community-watchable
Anyone with an account can flag content that's inappropriate, inaccurate, or harmful. Reports go to the scholar console for triage with a full audit trail.
How we use AI
Large language models help retrieve and synthesize answers across a closed, scholar-reviewed corpus. They never invent rulings, never replace a qualified mufti, and never speak for the scholarly board.
When the model can't find a faithful answer in the corpus, it says so plainly and points the user to a teacher or scholar.
Partners
We work with Al-Azhar Al-Sharif and Dar Al-Iftaa Al-Misriyyah on the corpus and scholarly review pipeline. Specific publications and ingestion partners are listed in the source-attribution chip on every relevant card.
