Arabic help

What is the Arabic text on File:Mahmud Moschee1.jpg ? I want to use that text as the Arabic commons description of this image Thank you WhisperToMe (talk) 02:24, 17 April 2011 (UTC)

It says 'there is no god but God' and 'Muhammad is the messenger of God'. --Omidinist (talk) 06:09, 17 April 2011 (UTC)

I see, so that is not the actual name of the mosque in Arabic. Let me see if I can find an official Arabic name on the mosque's website. WhisperToMe (talk) 06:11, 17 April 2011 (UTC)

See Shahada, and be careful about saying it, because if you say it once and mean it, you've converted to Islam. —Angr (talk) 10:36, 17 April 2011 (UTC)

I see! I figured it was the Shahada upon seeing the translation above. Thank you, guys! :) WhisperToMe (talk) 19:19, 17 April 2011 (UTC)
