Saudi Flag

[sholay]

What does it say in the middle of the Saudi Arabia flag?

[shaneystar2]

The shahada or profession of faith "There is no god but Allah and Muhammad is his Prophet".

[THECORBYLOON]

"There is no god but God: Muhammad is the Messenger of God."

[THECORBYLOON]

As there is a difference of opinion I should add ma quote is that of the Saudi Embassy in London's website.

[sholay]

Thanks. That's quite a wordy flag!

[kempie]

I see no difference of opinion in the two quotes, just a difference of transliteration/translation:

Allah = God
Prophet = Messenger of God

[THECORBYLOON]

kempie I was merely trying to say I would give more importance to the translation given by the Saudi Government (via its Embassy) rather than a site devoted to flags in general. There are those who will argue Allah is not just another name for God and not all prophets are messengers of God. You pays yir money etc..
