- The Dewey Decimal Classification is the most common classification scheme used in Islamic countries. However, DDC is still insufficient for the classification of the literature on Islam, despite the fact that the opinions of librarians from Islamic countries have been taken. Additionally, there are some conceptual errors controversial to Muslims. Therefore adaptations and amendments need to be made. Table 297 for Islam is evaluated to identify the sources of problems and recommendations are made for the solution of these problems. Radical changes are required starting with the table. 297.1 - 297.9 needs to be rearranged under, Koran, Hadith (traditions), Aqaid and Kalam (Islamic doctrinal theology), Fiqh (lslamic law), Sects, Sufism, Islamic moral theology, history of Islam and Muhammed's family and companions (Siyer). Close collaboration of the specialists working for DDC on this subject with specialist librarians from Islamic countries is essential to make this table usable at an international level.
