Subject cataloging
Arabic terms and their LCSH counterpart
Koranic teaching
H 1095, General
$x Koranic teaching
Use under Islamic topics.
The subdivision will be free-floating only under topics that are explicitly or implicitly Islamic. Headings that include the terms Islam, Islamic, Muslim, are explicitly Islamic. A heading such as Jinn is implicitly Islamic, since it refers to spirits in Islam. A heading such as Marriage or Religious life is not Islamic in nature by itself, so the form would need to be Marriage--Religious aspects--Islam--Koranic teaching or Religious life--Islam--Koranic teaching. The subdivision Biblical teaching is slightly different in that "Biblical" can refer to either Christianity or Judaism; therefore no religion is explicitly required for the subdivision Biblical teaching.
