• Direct quotations of less than five lines are written italics between complete quotation marks within the paragraph.
• Direct quotations of five lines or more are written in separate paragraphs without quotation marks. The writing position is given a straight indent with the first line of the paragraph.
• Indirect quotation, namely quoting a text which is abstracted and written in its own sentence, is written as part of a paragraph without quotation marks. It is better to use this kind of quotation within the manuscript.
• Excerpts from the Qur'an and Hadith are written in Arabic letters according to the original text, including punctuation, using Font Times New Arabic 16 in bold. The verses of the Qur'an are written complete with the name and number of the surah and the number of the verse, while the Hadith is written complete with the sanad and comes with a footnote containing: Name of the book, volume, chapter, hadith number, and page.
• In particular, the quotation of incomplete verses of the Qur'an, given three-dot marks before and/or after. Example:
• حَنِيفًا ۚ فِطْرَتَ اللَّهِ الَّتِي فَطَرَ النَّاسَ عَلَيْهَا ۚ لَا تَبْدِيلَ لِخَلْقِ اللَّهِ ۚ ذَٰلِكَ الدِّينُ الْقَيِّمُ… …
