Wali M.
Islamic Scholar & Editor | Arabic, Urdu, Persian & Pashto Translation
Islamic scholar (Mufti) and editor. I review, edit, research and translate Islamic and classical texts so they are accurate before they reach readers, app users or examiners. Top Rated Plus, 100% Job Success, native Pashto and Persian. Publishers, app teams, researchers and authors hire me when a text has to be right on two levels at once: the language, and the religious content. ISLAMIC TEXT REVIEW AND VERIFICATION Books, apps, courses, translations and AI datasets checked for Qur'anic quotations, Hadith wording and references, duas and adhkar, Fiqh explanations, terminology and transliteration. I check what can be checked against recognised sources and flag anything that needs your decision. You get a clear written report, chapter by chapter or screen by screen.

BOOK AND MANUSCRIPT EDITING Proofreading and copy editing of books, Islamic and general, in English, Urdu and Persian. I keep a style sheet so names, terms and citations stay consistent from chapter 1 to the last page. You get a tracked-changes file, a clean file and margin queries, never silent changes. I also identify and catalogue Arabic and Persian manuscripts, and fix KDP print-interior problems. TRANSLATION Arabic to English or Urdu, and Pashto, Dari/Persian and Urdu to and from English.
