Sword from Java or Sumatra/blade inscribed with words

I have a sword with a blade inscribed with words. I would like to know its origin and also a translation of the words inscribed on the blade.
See pictures.

Thanks.

You have an Indonesian Pedang and the script appears Arabic so hopefully one of the forumites versed in Arabic can translate for you. Very nice sword.

Hi Harold

one side is already clear

- Side A

the mention is issued from the Holy Qur'an

the chapter concerned is the 20th (Ta'ha - one of the numerous Mohamed names)
and the verses (sourates) are;
- 107/108/109/110/111/112 all complet
- 113 a part

just in case of .. here a site with all chapters/verses with their translation in several languages
http://www.yabiladi.com/coran/sourat-20-100-en.html

few time for the other side, but as the Holy Qur'an is huge

we have to find the mention concerned, not very easy
