Notes

1. The shahada (statement o faith) is whiles translatit intae Inglis as "There is no god but Allah" (an sicweys tae Scots as "Thare is nae god but Allah"), uisin the romanisation o the Arabic wird "Allah" insteid o its translation. The Arabic wird "Allah" lrrterally translates as the God, as the prefix "Al-" is the definite airticle.^[2]
