Required parameters[edit]

Page number is the only required parameter. It can be the only unnamed parameter or you can use any of the allowed aliases: page=, p=, from=, f=. If no translation is specified, the link defaults to the translation by Marmaduke Pickthall^[1].

Optional parameters[edit]

to, or, t parameter:
- last page in the referred range. Must be an integer. An explanatory parameter, the link will lead to the first page in the range.
quote, or, q:
- the text of the quotation. The template adds quotation marks, so don't put them.
translator, or, a parameter can have values as per "Available translations" table below (case insensitive).
edition, or, e can have values corresponding to the specified translator as per "Available translations" table below. If no edition is specified for the given translator, the default one will be used (marked with an asterisk in the table).
chapter, or, ch, or, chapter from, or, chf parameter is an integer representing the number of the surah, or the first surah in the range ^[2].
chapter to, or, cht parameter is an integer representing the number of the last surah in the range ^[2].
verse, or, v, or, verse from, or, vf parameter is an integer representing the number of the ayah, or the first ayah in the range ^[2].
verse to, or, vt parameter is an integer representing the number of the last ayah in the range ^[2].

Optional format switches[edit]

All switches default to false and can be set to true using any of the following values: 1, y, yes, true (all case insensitive).

extend=1, or, x=1. If set, it makes the name of the translator and the edition ID shown into the template printout.
inline=1, or, i=1. If set, it suppresses the superscript formatting. For use within <ref></ref> tag, for example.
short=1, or, s=1. If set, it makes some fragments abbreviated or omitted. For example, it will output "p." instead of "page", etc.
hide=1, or, h=1. If set, it suppresses page number output. The link will continue using the page number internally, to build the correct URL, though.
