Seeking advice on condensed portions of religious texts to transcribe. Also, missing any in-game religions?
Post Body

I am looking to significantly update the server's religious text bank. In-game religions I am aware of (with texts), are:

Dolan, Catta, Clay, Voxel, Purpura, "The Goddess" religion, Sa'Tong, Giko, Peteism, Jeffreyism,

Other religions seemingly without texts, that I may make a compendium with short descriptions of. Only including in this list ones that have evidence I can find of at least a shrine OR several people mentioning it (no lazy one-post religions on reddit, etc.):

Holy Sheep, Cthulu cult, Church of Notch, Church of the TTK, Lightning deity cults with shrine in MA, Grumperism, Catpeterism, Holy Tree, Honecker Houses, Gezoism

Am I missing any?

Also these are my thoughts on a feasible selection (considering numbers of in-game books required) to capture the essence of various real world religions/philosophies. Any critiques or better ideas are welcome:

Christianity -The Catholic mass (completed, 2 books) -Gospel of Luke (~8 books) -Romans (~3) -Genesis 1 and 2 (2)

Tao and Confucianism -The I Ching, 64 short books, arranged in game with a stack of chests in the 8x8 hexagrams (a system of laying out the essences of all the parts of the world with mathematical connections and conceptual relationships, synonyms, antonyms, balances, etc.) guide book

Judaism -Selections from Pikei Avot (~10?) (ethical sayings and rabbinical maxims) -Possibly selections from the Torah, but I don't know it well enough, suggestions welcome

Hinduism -Selections from the Rigveda (~10) (ancient Hindu hymns from many thousands of years ago) -Possibly other parts of the Veda (suggestions?)

Islam -I'm pretty stuck on this one. There aren't many pithy texts I'm aware of. Would need to do something like Christianity with choice "get the gist of it" parts of the full Qur'an. If anybody is muslim or knows it well, please help me out.

Buddhism -I think the full text of the Dhammapada is feasible in 10-15 books (a collection of stuff Buddha supposedly said in response to various questions put to him)

Satanism -Wouldn't normally include as widespread enough, but there's already 1 in game book on it already.
