The inscription is from Qur'an III (sura al 'umran), vv.169-170 and translates as 'Do not suppose those who were slain in the way of Allah to be dead; rather they are living and provided for near their Lord; exulting in what Allah has given them out of His grace, and rejoicing for those who have not yet joined them from [those left] behind them that they will have no fear, nor will they grieve'.
