A trivia game about the deen carries a responsibility a normal quiz doesn’t: if it teaches something false, it does real harm. So we set one rule above all others — when in doubt, leave it out.
Awwab’s Knowledge & Trivia game has hundreds of bilingual questions across creed, the Qur’an, the prophets, the companions, the life of the Prophet ﷺ, the 99 Names, Islamic history and heroes, and the genuine scientific wonders of creation. That breadth is only worth something if every single answer can be trusted. Here is how we hold that line.
Every hadith is ṣaḥīḥ or ḥasan
We don’t use weak (ḍaʿīf) or fabricated (mawḍūʿ) narrations, however popular or “nice” they sound. A claim makes it into the bank only if it rests on an authentic or sound chain, and we note its grading and collection. Plenty of well-loved sayings that circulate online never appear in Awwab for exactly this reason.
Every scientific claim has a real paper behind it
The “science and creation” questions are where it’s easiest to drift into the comfortable myth-making of pop “scientific miracles” content. We don’t do that. A scientific claim is included only when it’s supported by a real, peer-reviewed source we can cite — and we describe it as science, not as proof of scripture. The wonder is real enough without overreaching.
Contested or shaky claims are left out, not softened. A smaller bank we can stand behind beats a larger one we can’t.
Every answer shows its source
When you answer a question, you don’t just see right or wrong — you see why, with the verse, hadith, or paper it comes from. The game is built to teach, so the source travels with the explanation. Over time you’re not just scoring points; you’re building a memory of where knowledge actually comes from.
Built so it can’t be quietly corrupted
The question bank lives behind a locked backend. The web version never ships answers to your browser ahead of time, validates every response on the server, and computes scores there too — which keeps the leaderboard honest and keeps the content from being scraped and reposted without its sourcing. Trustworthiness isn’t only about what we put in; it’s about protecting it once it’s there.
Always open to correction
We’re human, and the bank is large. If you ever spot something you believe is mis-graded or mis-attributed, tell us — corrections to authenticity are the fastest thing we act on. That feedback loop is part of the method, not an afterthought.
