Hi
to answer at previous mail ...
- yes I was present already on January 2009 when I translated (for you) upon your request ...
what it was possible, because the mention wasn't in Arabic, but as far as, is ;
- names or religious invocations, almost are in "Classic Arabic", who is understanding mainly by all Muslims

the article about the "Arabic-on-Moro-armor" it's a "joyfull mishmash"
the writer is taking his wishes for "historical facts"

issued from "Wikipedia" - sources more credible than ...
Jawi (Jawi: جاوي Jāwī; Yawi in Pattani)
is an adapted Arabic alphabet for writing the Malay language.
Jawi is one of the two official scripts in Brunei and Malaysia as an alternate script for the Malay language.
Jawi has been relegated to a script used for religious and cultural purposes.
Day-to-day usage of Jawi is maintained in more conservative Malay-populated areas such as;
- Sulu in the Philippines, Pattani in Thailand and Kelantan in Malaysia.

The Jawi alphabet has existed since around 1300 CE in the Malay Archipelago.
