Actual translation or guessing?Taliban flag .
I was shown a picture and asked if I had any idea what the written message was.I don't know any Arabic, although I'm pretty sure it has some religious context. Anybody have any idea what it might say?
Taliban flag .
Pretty sure it says “Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan” in Pashto.
Not knowing Arabic, Urdu, Turkish or Persian, I had a cup of coffee and used Google's reverse image search to see where the photograph came from. It has been cropped, this is the whole photograph.OK, Thanks. I think you are correct.....
And I still can't read the banner behind those seminarians, but I'll guess it's something about a praying tree. Not Taliban, not ISIL-KP. Just naive religious faith hoping for a miracle.
No one knows where the picture was taken. Allegedly it's a forest near Sydney. That's a lot of territory! How about a forest near the Appalachian Trail? But everyone knows what the picture is. It's the praying tree which shows the true direction for prayer, toward the Kaaba in the Sacred Mosque in Mecca. That picture is all over the internet and that is how it is discussed. I can read the comments with Google Translate, and so can you. The comments on Reddit are in English. The picture is usually captioned "A Miracle" or "Miracle of Islam," but everyone seems to know it's the praying tree that shows you qibla. Those seminarians may be holding up a Burma-Shave sign, but I don't think so.I know what the picture is. I cropped and enlarged the pertinent part so the script was more easily visible. I was hoping for somebody who could actually translate though, not guess based on where the picture was taken.....
OK, I didn't ask for anything but a translation. I know what is in the picture, the tree is a deformed spotted gum, (it is (or was) in North Nowra by the way, 200km from Sydney). I didn't ask what the picture captions on the internet say. You don't know what the script says, who the people are, where this picture was taken or when... I only asked for an actual translation of the banner, not an internet copy and paste lecture on middle east politics. If you can't provide one, don't guess based on stereotypes or what somebody thinks on the internet. Thats why I only posted a picture of the banner, to prevent this from happening.No one knows where the picture was taken. Allegedly it's a forest near Sydney. That's a lot of territory!

I'm sorry you came here where no one speaks Arabic and didn't get an Arabic translation. Let me make a suggestion. Go here:OK, I didn't ask for anything but a translation.

And once again you have entirely missed the point.I'm sorry you came here where no one speaks Arabic and didn't get an Arabic translation. Let me make a suggestion. Go here:

This is a reddit group for people trying to learn Arabic and Arabic speakers who want to help them. Try posting your question like this:
I am curious about this photograph of the ruku tree in Australia. Can anyone translate the banner?
Straightforward about what you want and why you want it gets better responses. And post the whole photograph, not just a corner. These are adults who know how to zoom in on a digital image.
And once again you have entirely missed the point.
The point was to find out if anybody knew what the banner actually said. I don't give a crap about whatever is in the rest of the picture. I intentionally cropped out everything but the banner for the purpose of preventing people like you from bringing up the usual BS political crap that this picture seems to carry along with it....
