Salaams Loedjoe!
The Arabic inscription reads as follows:
اياك نعبد و اياك نستعين
Translation:
"It is you [Oh ALLAH!] whom we worship and whom we seek help from."
It is the 5th verse of Surat al-Fatihah; the first Surah of the Qur'an.
Hope this helps!
Best regards,
Ahmed Helal Hussein
PS: If there are any Arabic inscriptions that need to be read, could you please send me an alert via a private message, or even email me; and I'll give my reply in the open thread. I'm sorry, but sometimes I may miss a question that I know the answer of. Thanks a lot in advance.
