MLA stands for Modern Language Assosiation. It's a type of citing quotations in your research paper. There are other styles, such as, APA style. Hope its clear :)

Well sister u cant put an author there, unless u can say translated by this --> ____

Translator. The Holy Quran: Surah al-nahil. Published location: Publishing company name, Year.

I dont think the website provides publishers information so maybe if u have a copy of Quran at home use that

u're welcome

the Quran is never cited. the interpretation of the Quran is cited giving the name of the interpretor in the bibliography.

famous interpretors are Yusuf Ali, Shakir, Qaribullah, Muhsin Khan and Marmaduke Pickthall.

if you have cited the translation of the meaning of Quran then you should be knowing who did it. its given on the front pages of the Quran and there are no anonymous translations/interpretations
