# Dataset Card for Dataset Name

This is a webscrape of the Alukah website. The Alukah website provides tens of thousands of articles written in Arabic. The Arabic used in its articles is better than the hot garbage used in articles written by the media (see the book: العرنجية.)
The Alukah website primarily compiles articles written by muslim scholars. So the majority of the articles are about Islam or muslims. There is also a section about fatwas, which can be useful to make a question-answer dataset.
