Use of Islamic honorifics and terms such as "martyr"

Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Islam-related articles says that "Islamic honorifics should generally be omitted from articles (whether Arabic or English), except where they are part of quotations." The current version of the article uses uses Islamic honorifics - for examples: "Hazrat Ali (RA) and Imam Hussain (RA)."

Wikipedia also has a policy Neutral point of view. Referring to soldiers killed in action against the enemy as martyrs is not neutral point of view. Having said that, if sources used such language, then it is acceptable to use the word in a quotation.-- Toddy1 (talk) 22:21, 28 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
