Islam Stackexchange is a site, where it’s community members contribute to build it. And there are a number of ways that people can help building Islam Stackexchange, and that is by:
- Asking great questions and giving great high quality answers
- Up-voting the good quality questions and answers, and down-voting the bad
- Promoting the site
- Contributing on the meta site
The most important way mentioned above, and the most important step one can make to help build Islam.SE, is by contributing and getting active on the meta. Currently our meta site is not that active, which is not so good. The meta site is a place connected to the main site where a user can ask questions about the site (Islam.SE).
Meta isn’t a random discussion area, it is for improving our community and site together.
Meta is the place where you can get what you think should change about the site out. The Meta site is the place where the rules and guidelines on how to use the main site (Islam.SE) are created. It is the place to ask questions like:
- Is this question on topic?
- Why was my question closed?
- Should this question be reopened?
The more active the meta site is, the faster and better our community and site is built. To access the meta site a user simply needs 5 reputation. Look around on meta and see if your question or request hasn’t been posted before. If you want to help build this site, then Meta is the first place to start.

Assalamualaikum
This seems to be a very noble effort. However I am concerned about who is behind the site. Could you elaborate on who are the people running this site? Are they muslims? And what was the need for this website? Why was Islam chosen? Who will moderate hostility? This is a very sensitive area and I hope that this doesnt turn out to be a stunt to defeat Islam in some way.
May peace be upon you.

This site has all Muslim moderators following Quran and Sunnah. We receive many abusive question like how you receive poor quality questions on SO. Such questions are deleted and after giving warning abusive users are suspended.
I think this is a valiant effort, as the more people are educated, the better the world will be. However I do agree with the sentiment that this site may turn into a battleground between non-muslims and muslims, or sunnis and shiite.

The people who are running this site, is the community and those interested in contributing, and building it. Although I do not totally agree with some of the rules, this site’s purpose is to provide a database of high quality answers on questions about Islam. I would suggest this blog-post, as well as our about page on our site and help-center.
