One of the earliest surviving translations of the Shahadah into a foreign language is in Greek, from the reign of al-Walid I (86-96 AH, 705-715 AD): ''Ouk estin theos ei mē ho theos monos; Maamet apostolos theou.''<ref>[http://www.islamic-awareness.org/History/Islam/Papyri/enlp1.htmlIslamic-Awareness.org] </ref> "There is no god if not the single god; Muhammad is god's apostle", i.e. ''[[Allah]]'' is being translated as "the single god".
