What is written on Zulfiqar?
Approved answer
Inscription on Zulfiqar
The prominent engraving at the top states lā fatā ʾilā ʿAlī lā sayf ʾilā Ḏū l-Faqār, which translates to "There is no Hero but Ali, and there is no sword but Dhu-l-Faqar." This particular piece is a stamped amulet, likely produced in India during the 19th century for a Shia patron.
