Arabic? inscription on a sikin panjang - translation welcome

Very many thanks, Ahmed Helal Hussein, I could not have asked for a better response - you have included everything I wanted to know. Thank you too for the offer to accept requests for translations through email - this may be very helpful (although this sikin, and one other sword, are the only two I have where the inscriptions are in Arabic rather than Jawi/Malay in Arabic characters).

Like you, Willem, I was surprised to find a religious inscription, in Arabic. I shall follow your advice for a search - thank you.
