If this works, the following would show verse 57:16, followed by its suggested English translation.

What do you say about enhancements to this BBCode? I'm thinking of two in particular,

  • Putting a border around it, and
  • Displaying it in a box similar to the Quote box, with the name of the Chapter in Arabic, instead of the word "Quote:"

My view is that it is currently working fine. Adding borders or a box may make the posts look more prohibitive. The information about the name of the chapter can be easily obtained using the tools of the site at the top of each page. Then again, I am a creature of habit. :)

PS: Why is the text of my post smaller in font than usual?
Admin note: That's because the quoted text had a Quote BBCode in it that mixed up your quoting of it. I fixed that.

Let's see in action:

The holy Quran contains no contradictions. God states that fact clearly and emphatically in many verses, for instance,

البقرة

Which makes it clear that there is no doubt this Book in any manner of doubt.
Also,
فُصّلَت

Finally,
النساء

This verse challenges the perception that a contradiction between two verses exists that cannot be resolved if both verses are valid.

Think about it, if the Quran has any confusion in it that requires an advanced college degree to resolve, then why did God say,
الدخان
