Iblis (right) guards the Divine Garden.

... that due to the similarities in function between Iblis's web and the Hindu concept of māyā, the seventeenth-century Mughal Dara Shikoh sought to reconcile the Upanishads with Sufi cosmology?

Please read the rules - there are NO LINKS!!! - you need at least 4 here. Put them in & I'll finish the review. Johnbod (talk) 21:00, 15 April 2025 (UTC)
- Ok, you have now done so. GA, AGF on hook fact/ref (the hook is virtually a quote from the article). The hook is not very clear, but nor is the article, frankly. No qpq needed. The pic is ok, if rather tall, but the caption waaaay too long! You won't get more than say "Iblis (right) guards the Divine Garden. Johnbod (talk) 01:48, 17 April 2025 (UTC)
  - Johnbod, this doesn't really strike me as a "yes". I agree the hook is unclear to the average reader. I think a clearer one should be promoted, and the image is not clear at displayed size. ꧁Zanahary꧂ 05:04, 18 April 2025 (UTC)
    - It was a yes, but a clearer/snappier hook might be better. I don't feel qualified to suggest one, but as always, anyone else may do so. I can probably understand it better than many of our readers as I know what the Upanishads are, and who Dara Shikoh was. Johnbod (talk) 03:16, 19 April 2025 (UTC)
