{{Main|WikiIslam:Citing Sources}}
When quoting a source, the [[Template:Quote|Quotation]] template should be used. The first parameter is the reference for the text being quoted (this parameters can be left empty if references are being cited via ref tags). The second parameter is where the actual quotation is placed.
There are many templates available for Islamic sources (e.g. [[Template:Quran|Quran]], [[Template:Bukhari|Bukhari]], [[Template:Muslim|Muslim]], [[Template:Abudawud|Dawud]], [[Template:Muwatta|Malik's Muwatta]], [[Template:Al Tirmidhi|Tirmidhi]], [[Template:Al Nasai|Nasai]], [[Template:Ibn Majah|Majah]] and [[Template:Tabari|Tabari]]). To quote an Islamic text, the relevant template for referencing that particular text must be placed within the first parameter of the Quotation template.
For example, to  quote {{Quran|2|256}}, this is what has to be typed:
::<tt>{&#123;Quote|{&#123;Quran|2|256}}|Let there be no compulsion in religion: Truth stands out clear from Error...}}</tt>
And it should produce this:
:{{Quote|{{Quran|2|256}}|Let there be no compulsion in religion: Truth stands out clear from Error...}}
For quoting general sources, a modified version of the [[#Cite_Web|Cite Web]] template is used.
::<tt><nowiki>{{cite web quotebox|url= |title= |publisher= |author= |date= |archiveurl= |deadurl=no}}</nowiki></tt>
The modified Cite Web template must be placed within the first parameter of the quotation box template. For example, this link and all of the relevant information:
::<tt>http://www.jordantimes.com/?news=19888</tt>
When applied to the modified Cite Web template and the quotations template:
::<tt><nowiki>{{Quote|{{cite web quotebox|url= http://www.jordantimes.com/?news=19888|title= Productivity suffers during holy month|publisher= The Jordan Times|author= Mohammad Ghazal|date= September 10, 2009|archiveurl= http://www.webcitation.org/query?url=http://www.jordantimes.com/?news=19888&date=2011-04-04|deadurl=no}}|The holy month at the time of the Prophet Mohammad and his companions was a time of great achievements and crucial battles won by the Muslims, Sharia (Islamic law) scholar Hamdi Murad said Wednesday.}}</nowiki></tt>
Should produce this:
::{{Quote|{{cite web quotebox|url= http://www.jordantimes.com/?news=19888|title= Productivity suffers during holy month|publisher= The Jordan Times|author= Mohammad Ghazal|date= September 10, 2009|archiveurl= http://www.webcitation.org/query?url=http://www.jordantimes.com/?news=19888&date=2011-04-04|deadurl=no}}|The holy month at the time of the Prophet Mohammad and his companions was a time of great achievements and crucial battles won by the Muslims, Sharia (Islamic law) scholar Hamdi Murad said Wednesday.}}
