What is Islamiqate's policy on transliterating foreign terms?

Foreign words can often be transliterated in multiple ways. Islamiqate uses a simplified style of transliteration without dialectical marks. The reason for this is that a fully accurate transliteration system would require special learning, something most people lack, just to actually pronounce names correctly. Furthermore with a lack of a universal romanization system, such words will not be pronounced correctly by non-native speakers anyway.  For the purposes of standardisation, the following non-exhaustive list has been adopted for Arabic transliterations: the definite article in Arabic is to ignore assimilation with sun letters and uses "al-" e.g., the light annur is al-nur, the sun asshams is al-shams, the closed ta (ta marbutah, ة) should be rendered as "a" e.g., prayer salat is salah, letter risalat is risalah, two adjacent consonants are separate by the prime or apostrophe ' when they do not form a digraph e.g., أَكْرَمَتْها akramatʹha ('she honored her'), in which the t and h are two distinct consonantal sounds, for groups, movements or sects, the term used by said organisations is retained e.g., Jamaat-e-Islami, Tolu-e-Islam, Huzb t-Tahrir and so on, personal names are used as they have been spelt by the individuals themselves, dates are written in both the Hijri and Gregorian calender where relevant e.g., (d. 587 AH/1191) for purposes of consistency, Persian words are transliterated as they are pronounced in Urdu. well-known place-names, such as Mecca, Baghdad, Jerusalem, Damascus and Yemen, should be cited using their English spellings. Less common place-names should be transliterated. Biblical figures appear in the accepted English spelling.
