	~~==Quotes==~~

	~~If you are quoting a source type {{Quote\|*\|\|**}}<BR>~~
	All three parameters are optional, a call to this template with no parameters will create an empty quote box. The first parameter will be displayed at the very top of the quote box. The second parameter (if it exists) will insert a newline directly after the first parameter and it will then display its (i.e. the second parameter's) text directly after the newline (i.e. underneath the first parameter). The third parameter (if it exists) will be placed directly underneath the second parameter and a newline will be inserted between the second parameter and the third parameter.

	~~===Examples===~~

	~~{\| style="width:100%; height:200px" border="1"~~
	~~!What you type !! What it looks like~~
	\|-
	~~\| \|{{Quote}} \|\| {{Quote}}~~
	\|-
	~~\| \|{{Quote\|For disbelievers is a painful doom. }} \|\| {{Quote\|For disbelievers is a painful doom. }}~~
	\|-
	~~\| \|{{Quote\|Quran 002.104 \|For disbelievers is a painful doom. }} \|\| {{Quote\|Quran 002.104 \|For disbelievers is a painful doom. }}~~
	\|-
	~~\| \|{{Quote\|Quran 002.104 \|For disbelievers is a painful doom.\|See Also Quran 002.174}} \|\| {{Quote\|Quran 002.104 \|For disbelievers is a painful doom.\|See Also Quran 002.174}}~~
	\|-
	\| \|{{Quote\|Our youths only want one thing, to kill you so they can go to paradise.\|-Osama bin Laden}} \|\| {{Quote\|Our youths only want one thing, to kill you so they can go to paradise.\|-Osama bin Laden}}
	\|}

	~~==Quoting Islamic Texts==~~

	Due to how frequently Islamic texts are quoted at this site, this standard is one of the most important standards used here at WikiIslam. To quote an Islamic text first use the Quote template discussed above with the first parameter being a reference to the verse and the second parameter being the verse itself.

	You may add any type of emphasis (i.e. '''bold text''' or ''italic text'') to the quote. You are also able to do almost anything that you would have regularly been able to do with WikiIslam while inside of a quote.

	~~===Examples===~~

	~~So the above table should have been formatted like this:~~
	~~{\| style="width:100%; height:200px" border="1"~~
	~~!What you type !! What it looks like~~
	\|-
	~~\| \|{{Quote\|{{Quran\|2\|104}}\|For disbelievers is a painful doom.}} \|\| {{Quote\|{{Quran\|2\|104}}\|For disbelievers is a painful doom.}}~~
	\|-
	~~\| \|{{Quote\|{{Quran\|2\|104}}\|For disbelievers is a painful doom.\|See Also {{Quran\|2\|174}}}} \|\| {{Quote\|{{Quran\|2\|104}}\|For disbelievers is a painful doom.\|See Also {{Quran\|2\|174}}}}~~
	\|-
	\| \|{{Quote\|{{Bukhari\|7\|62\|33}}\|Narrated Usama bin Zaid: The Prophet said, "After me I have not left any affliction more harmful to men than women."}} \|\| {{Quote\|{{Bukhari\|7\|62\|33}}\|Narrated Usama bin Zaid: The Prophet said, "After me I have not left any affliction more harmful to men than women."}}
	\|-
	\| \|{{Quote\|{{Muslim\|36\|6597}}\|...I looked into the Fire and there I found the majority constituted by women}} \|\| {{Quote\|{{Muslim\|36\|6597}}\|...I looked into the Fire and there I found the majority constituted by women}}
