what do these pictures say on them in arabic [...] [...] (^)

Here’s what the Arabic writing on each picture says (both are variants of the Saudi flag / emblem with Arabic text):

🟩 First Image (curved sword with Arabic above it)

The Arabic text is the Islamic declaration of faith (Shahada): «لا إله إلا الله محمد رسول الله» ➡️ “There is no god but God; Muhammad is the Messenger of God.”

🟩 Second Image (straight banner with crossed swords)

It also features the Shahada: «لا إله إلا الله محمد رسول الله» ➡️ “There is no god but God; Muhammad is the Messenger of God.”

Both are common on Saudi flags / symbols, and the text is the same religious phrase on both.

If you want, I can explain what each word means!

how do you say that in arabic? / what does it sound like to say it?

Sure — here’s how the phrase is said out loud.

Arabic text

لا إله إلا الله محمد رسول الله

Simple pronunciation (easy English-style)

Laa ilaaha ill-allaah, Muhammadur rasool-allaah

Slower, word-by-word

ArabicSounds likeMeaning
لاlaano / none

Put together naturally

Laa ilaaha illallaah, Muhammadur rasoolullaah

Tips to sound closer to Arabic

  • “aa” = long “a” like in father
  • “kh” (not in this phrase, but common in Arabic) sounds like the ch in Scottish loch
  • “h” in “Allah” is soft, from the throat, not a hard English H
  • The “r” in rasool is lightly rolled/tapped

If you'd like, I can also break it down syllable-by-syllable or give an audio-style rhythm guide.

this is a mosque
