IOU’S Plagiarism Policy
All praise is due to Allah, the Lord of the universe and peace and blessing be upon the last messenger
Muhammad and all those who follow his path with righteousness until the Last Day.
Please read and understand this policy in details before attempting any assignments at IOU.
Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said, "He who deceives us is not one of us." (Sahih Muslim)
Definition of Plagiarism:
The International Open University will not tolerate plagiarism in any form, and any student caught
plagiarizing will be penalized. Depending on the severity of the plagiarism, the penalty could range
from reduction of marks to rejection of the paper itself.

Similarity Indicator
IOU reserves the right to submit all academic assignments to a plagiarism checker to produce
similarity ratings for each assignment. The similarity indicator provides a rating of how similar text in
the assignment is to resources available on the Internet.
In line with universal academic writing practices, IOU prefers that text be paraphrased in the words
of the student and not quoted directly, with the original author of the knowledge being duly cited and
referenced.
As a University-wide norm, IOU recommends that the similarity indicator does not exceed 20%.
Result of Plagiarism
Assignments that contain a rating higher than or equal to 50% will be automatically rejected and
validated for plagiarism with a manual check by the tutorial assistant or relevant academic. The
student will be given a grade of 0 and there will be no second chances for submitting the assignment.
The Tutorial Assistant or relevant academic will use the similarity rating in determining the final grade
of the submission.
Remember that we are Muslims studying Allah’s religion, and so plagiarizing in Islamic Studies is a sin
and can rob your studies of reward.
May Allah bless you all with success with your coursework. Ameen.
