280 Islam

Class encyclopaedias and other comprehensive works on Islam at 280.

General division of this subject follows the pattern set by 201-209. A subject appropriate to Islam but not specifically enumerated below, and occurring in 201-209 should be built by adding to the base number 28 notation following 20 in 201-209.

In this schedule “God” and “Allah” are considered to be synonymous. The usual English Name is however used throughout, mainly to avoid the impression that Allah is a different Being from the God of (say) Judaism and Christianity.

In any case, do not class either specific religious teachings or doctrines, or works that belong outside the 200s at this point. For example, “Islam and civil rights” is a useful heading at 281.7323 – but specific Muslim doctrine touching on the same subject is classed at 285.6535; and secular or general works on the right to religious freedom will be classed under 323!
