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." (Saheeh
Muslim)

Definition of Plagiarism:

A common form of deception in studies is plagiarism. Plagiarism is sometimes misunderstood to refer


to copying alone; however, plagiarism is much deeper than just copying. It includes quoting without
proper references, collaboration, and stealing other people's ideas while passing them off as one’s
own. Plagiarism is the “failure to acknowledge the ideas or writing of another” or “presentation of the
ideas or writing of another as one’s own” and should be read to cover intentional and unintentional
failure to acknowledge the ideas of others. In this context “others” means any other person including
a student, academic, professional, published author or other resource such as the Internet. The
International Open University believes that failing to acknowledge the use of ideas of others
constitutes an important breach of Islamic and academic values and conventions of the institution.

IOU Stance on 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.

With respect to the assignments, the following constitutes plagiarism:

1) Copying someone else's assignment


2) Collaboration and working together on an assignment
3) Copying and Pasting entire articles of the internet
4) Quoting someone else’s work without referencing the author
5) Using someone else’s ideas or words without referencing them

To avoid plagiarism, be sure to:

 Use quotation marks around a quote and cite the source.


 Reference all quotations and citations
 Reword/paraphrase. Don’t write word for word what you have read. Take notes first in your
own words, then write your assignment from your notes (not the text).

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.

IOU Admin.
