Templates make it easy to cite Islamic sources. For example, instead of finding the exact USC-MSA URL of a Qur'an verse or hadith, all that is needed is to type <code><nowiki>{{Muslim|7|88}}</nowiki></code> and the reference and link is automatically created. Here are some templates you can use.

Not all Qur'an-related templates are covered here. Refer to the Q section in [[:Category:Templates]] for the full list.

The first parameter is the chapter/surah number, while the second parameter is the verse number

=====Referencing Sahih Bukhari=====

To reference a hadith from [[Template:Bukhari|Bukhari]] type: <code>{&#123;<nowiki>Bukhari|#|#|#}}</nowiki></code> The first parameter is the volume number, the second parameter is the book number and the third parameter is the narration number.

The first parameter is no longer used and can be left empty, but is retained for the sake of existing citations that used 4 parameters. It was used by the old template to link to the relevant book on sunnah.com. In any case for Ibn Majah it was always the same as the book number in the 3rd parameter, so was redundant anyway.

=====Referencing Tabari=====

To reference text from [[Template:Tabari|Tabari]] type: <code>{&#123;<nowiki>Tabari|###|###}}</nowiki></code>

| |<nowiki>{{</nowiki><nowiki>Tabari|4|p. 220}}</nowiki>||{{Tabari|4|p. 220}}

|}

The parameters are used in the same way as in the Quote template described above. For example, to quote {{Quran|2|256}}, this is what has to be typed:

:<code>{&#123;Quote-text|{&#123;<nowiki>Quran|2|29}}|He it is Who created for you all that is in the earth. Then turned He to the heaven, and fashioned it as seven heavens. And He is knower of all things.}}</nowiki></code>

==In-line Citations==

::<code><nowiki><ref name="name here"></ref></nowiki></code>

===Multi-Columned References===

If absolutely needed, embedded links to Wikipedia can be made by using the <code><nowiki>[[w:Target article|Text]]</nowiki></code> feature or <code><nowiki>{{</nowiki><nowiki>wp|article name}}</nowiki></code>. As with embedded links to other sites, these links should never be used as a form of inline citation.
