Default Arabic talisman translation requst

Hi. I just nought this silver amulet box which is called "hamayil" in Turkish. In Ottoman period they were used by any kind of fighting people,hanging them on their chest with talismanic prayers put in them,with the hope of getting help for avoiding bullets in the fights. Simple leather ones are still used in Turkey. Its difference from many others is; its original prayers are still in it, definitely of quiet long age with rotten old type paper. i opened just part of the roll.Can you please help me translate the inscriptions? I hope to have at least a brief idea.

regards
