Talk:Aaron in Islam

Tomb: what are the traditions saying?[edit]

"According to one Islamic tradition, the tomb of Aaron is located on Jabal Harun, near Petra in Jordan, with another tradition placing it in Sinai." References offered: Anon (2013) and Wheeler (2013).

Wheeler explicitly mentions both traditional sites.

Miettunen (2004 thesis) mentions a third, atop Mount Uhud at Medina with a shrine similar to the one near Petra, although she qualifies it as "connected to Aaron", w/o explicitly stating that Uhud is considered to be identical with biblical Mount Hor in general, or that it holds Aaron's tomb in particular.

This being said, pls explain, if it can be explained, which are local, and which general Muslim traditions and whether some are stronger than others. Thank you. Arminden (talk) 02:22, 3 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Spelling/transliteration: Subcontinent variants are NOT int'l standard[edit]

Hārūn ibn ʿImrān is the common transliteration used in English. Variants used on the Subcontinent are of secondary relevance and can be listed in a separate paragraph on name/etymology/spelling, but cannot be given priority on enWiki. Please do not insist in reverting, at least not until discussing it here. Thanks, Arminden (talk) 22:52, 17 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

And they wouldn't listen... :) Folks, you can have Haroon, and Haroun, and Khahrawnh for all I care in a special section, and create redirects for every single one of them, but please leave the lead alone! Thanks, Arminden (talk) 15:12, 23 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
