Seeking information for a large beautiful (Qama?) sword.
 
6 Attachment(s)
Recently I have acquired a very beautiful sword (maybe Qama?), but cannot find any information about it.
It is a large antique sword (length 25"), silver handle, silver sheath (21 ounces), silver decorations - tested - with a steel blade engraved and filled-in with gold phrases from Quran, sheath and handle decorated with cut out phrases in Arabic, bone (walrus ivory?) and mother of purl on the handle and sheath.
I will be happy with any information experts can provide. If someone could translate the engravings on the sheath and the blade - I would greatly appreciate it.

ان المتقین فی جنات و نعیم The righteous will be in gardens and bliss. It is part of a verse from the Holy Qur'an. The scabbard has more written on it. Better pictures would help.

Can anyone help reading and translating the inscriptions?
 
Experts, please kindly help reading and translating the inscriptions on the sheath.

It is aayat (verse) 53 of Surat Az-Zummar (39th) from the Holy Qur'an.
Say: O my servants! who have acted extravagantly against their own soul, do not despair of the mercy of Allah; surely Allah forgives the faults altogether; surely He is the (Most) Forgiving the (Most) Merciful. " English translation of The Holy Qur'an by Shakir"
