    Libya - Souvenir of the Colonel


    Recommended Posts

    Dear All,

    Illustrated below is an unoffical medallion of the Colonel, probably issued in the early years of the Libyan Arab Republic and manufactured in Egypt. Similar medals with bearing Nasser's head exist. The weight of the bronze (?) medalet is 19gms and it is 31.5mm diameter. The obverse reads " Al Aqeed Muamar Al Qadafi (Colonel...) and the reverse reads "Ya Rub" (Oh Lord) - a religious invocation.

    Regards,

    Owain,

    Paul, Yes - a quotation from the Koran - sadly my Arabic/knowledge of the Koran is insufficient to identify which verse! Regards, Owain

    ​Dear Owain, dear all.

    My cousin wife is from Morocco, she can't identify too, but she translated to me what the Surah says (in French, than i translate in English for you, so apologize for approximation)

    Only God who rules this world and can neither sleep nor close eyes because he watches over this world, all that is on earth and in heaven and in the oceans belong to him, and the one who addresses him can be forgiven, it is aware of your thought


    Best regards

    " My Lord is the one who gives life and causes death," he said, "I give life and cause death." Abraham said, "Indeed, Allah brings up the sun from the east, so bring it up from the west." So the disbeliever was overwhelmed [by astonishment], and Allah does not guide the wrongdoing people. " - Surah Baqra : Verse 255
