Arabic translation assistance

Raja Muda · 18th July 2006, 01:47 AM

Hi RSWORD

I've looked hard at the inscriptions and i think they're a bit miniscule, but anyway, I think one of it reads 'Wa Huwa Samiiun Aliim' And He (God) is All Hearing and All Knowing.

One of the other bits has the tail end of the stock verse 'Nasrun MinnAllah, Wa Fathun Qarib' Victory is from God and the opening? is near.

The bottom one has 'Allahu Akbar' all over it.

I think with clearer shots forumites al Anizi and M Carter might be able to extend some assistance

That would be "A Victory from God and Close Conquest". The Allah Akbar is easy to read, however there are other quranic verses where I can make some of the words out, yet not the whole phrase to make sense.

I think Im getting more of this.

Post #2 3rd picture reads: "Wama Ramayt Ith Ramayta Walakinna Allah Ramaa". A Koranic verse which means, "It is not you who acted but god himself".

Thank you for taking time to provide the translation and in such a clear and helpful manner. It really adds to the history of the sword and the time it was carried.

Wow, what a great piece of translation work. I was checking out the thread because i speak a little arabic myself, but nothing I could do do would compare.

good job. I wish i could find something like that for some burmese translation.
