if anyone can learn English well-enough to converse with me, you have my respect in that regard.

I've studied seven languages, and have a passing familiarity with two more. With the possible exception of Russian, English is the hardest language I've ever seen. I STILL have trouble with some spelling rules, which to me seem completely arbitrary. Thank goodness for spellcheck.

(Here's irony for you: "spellcheck" is underlined in red here for me. It doesn't know itself. Grin.)

The Arabic inscription on the flag, written in the Thuluth script, is the shahada or Islamic declaration of faith:
لا إله إلا الله محمد رسول اللهlā ’ilāha ’illa-llāh muḥammadun rasūlu-llāh"There is no god but God and Muhammad is the messenger of God"[1]

The shahada in the Saudi flag with individual words highlighted in different colours. Word order shown by colour key at bottom. (Read from right to left)


The sword symbolizes justice.
Green flags bearing this or other Arabic scripts are frequently seen in Islam and should not be confused with the Saudi national flag. These other flags normally do not bear the sword symbol.
