A claim that the original Qur'anic rasm did not have dots, on the other hand, may well be challenged by lay people, so such a claim requires an academic citation.

	~~===Citing in Relevant Quotations Section===~~
	Do ''not'' cite in the “Relevant Quotations” section of any article. This section is only for quotes from direct Islamic scriptures. When a single source makes more than one claim they should be listed as separate citations. If two sources make the same claim you should pick the more reliable source.

	Using the quote template can provide useful information from primary sources in a direct manner. However too many of them will cause unnecessary clutter in the page. ~~Unless absolutely necessary to keep the flow~~ of ~~the article, do not use the~~ quote ~~template outside the “Relevant Quotations” section~~. ~~(See Structure Protocol for more details)~~		Using the quote template can provide useful information from primary sources in a direct manner. However too many of them will cause unnecessary clutter in the page. These should be used for important primary sources and their use should be sparing. Articles made up of mostly quote-box templates should be avoided. The box should include only the relevant text and the citation.

	The ~~“Relevant Quotations” section will contain~~ the ~~direct~~ relevant ~~quotations from primary scriptures such as Qur’an~~ and ~~hadith. These will only be in quotation template format~~.

	~~If you must reference something to support a claim, cite it in a footnote. If you must quote a published work outside~~ of the ~~“Relevant Quotations” section use quotation marks and incorporate~~ the quote ~~into the~~ text ~~and include a footnote citation at~~ the ~~end. It may also be justifiable, to highlight a certain quote within~~ the ~~main~~ text ~~if, for instance,~~ the ~~quote is lengthy~~ or ~~includes a bulleted list~~ - ~~if so please use~~ the ~~“Quote” template. Include a footnote citation at the end either way, and remember that incorporating a quote into the text directly (as shown below) is preferred when possible~~.		The use of the quote box should draw special attention to the intended quote. The quoted text in the box should make an important point in the text of the article. For incomplete or less important supporting quotes, in-text quotations with the relevant citations should be used.
