No quotation marks are used when quoting an original Qur’ānic verse. As for its translation, it should be italicized and in double quotes. Chapter (sūra) and verse numbers are indicated in footnote. Observe the definite (al-) articles at the start of chapter names and the long openers (ā) in them. If translation of the quoted verse is taken from a webpage, its access date should be stated in parantheses in first reference in footnote.
Example:
| اِنَّمَا الْمُؤْمِنُونَ الَّذ۪ينَ اِذَا ذُكِرَ اللّٰهُ وَجِلَتْ قُلُوبُهُمْ وَاِذَا تُلِيَتْ عَلَيْهِمْ اٰيَاتُهُ زَادَتْهُمْ ا۪يمَاناً وَعَلٰى رَبِّهِمْ يَتَوَكَّلُونَۚ “The believers are only those who, when Allah is mentioned, their hearts become fearful, and when His verses are recited to them, it increases them in faith; and upon their Lord they rely.”1 _________________________ 1 Kur’an Yolu (Access 16 April 2019), al-Anfāl 8/2. 2 al-Anfāl 8/6. |
