Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff

Kushanshah Pillar of the Community United States 1554 Posts	Posted 10/23/2021 05:13 am Umayyad, c. 8th century, AE fals, no mint or date but Syrian type. The obverse (star side) has the Kalima: "There is no god but Allah alone; there are no others with Him". The reverse is a version of Surah 112 from the Qur'an: "Allah is One; Allah is the Eternal; He begets not, nor is He begotten." https://www.zeno.ru/showphoto.php?photo=253796 Edited by Kushanshah 10/23/2021 05:37 am Report this Post to the Staff
