Sabians and Yahya

The Kitab Yahya could probably be added to the list of 'recognised books'. Yahya was also known as 'John the Baptist', and is the primary figure in the Sabian religion. The Book of John is their principal sacred text. Sabians are specifically cited in the Holy Qur'an in surah 2, ayah 62 and again in surah 5, ayah 69 - as people who 'shall have their reward with God' (just like Jews and Christians). And Prophet Yahya is mentioned too in surah 19, ayah 12 - as having received a Book from Allah. DLMcN (talk) 20:45, 22 March 2011 (UTC) DLMcN (talk) 20:47, 22 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

 Not done: it's not clear what changes you want to be made. Please mention the specific changes in a "change X to Y" format and provide a reliable source if appropriate. Mdann52 (talk) 16:07, 15 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Comment having the section headers in place made the request unclear. I've refactored your comment to make that clearer. —C.Fred (talk) 03:44, 16 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
No objection from me.--DLMcN (talk) 05:39, 16 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Please update the page.

On the official website of Foreign Office (Germany) is stated that Pakistan has approximately 1 million Ahmadis. [4] [5]

 Not done: please provide reliable sources that support the change you want to be made. Your links appear to be to wikipedia articles. I need external links to make the change. Mdann52 (talk) 16:19, 21 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Please check the links I have posted above. It is the official website of the foreign ministry / department of state from Germany. It's in German Language, but with Google Translator you can read it in English. Take a look at: Religions / churches

Translated with Google: Religions / churches: Islam is the state religion (96% of the population, mostly Sunnis, between 15 and 20% Shi'ites). The Ahmadis are a marginalized by the official Islamic Muslim religious community, with approximately 1 million members. In addition to about 3 million Hindus estimated 2.8 million Christians living in Pakistan, besides Parsis, Sikhs, Buddhists, Baha'is.

It is absolutely a reliable source from German Government. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Adnan933 (talkcontribs) 11:57, 22 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
