 Generally, sources are added directly after the facts they support at the end of the sentence and after any punctuation. WikiIslam permits editors to use any citation system that allows the reader to understand where the information came from, and strongly encourages use of [[WikiIslam:Inline citation|inline citations]] to do so. Common methods of placing inline citations include [[Help:Footnotes|footnotes]], [[Help:Shortened footnotes|shortened footnotes]] and [[WikiIslam:Citing sources#Parenthetical referencing|parenthetical references]].
