Licensing

The depicted text is ineligible for copyright and therefore in the public domain because it is not a “literary work” or other protected type in sense of the local copyright law. Facts, data, and unoriginal information which is common property without sufficiently creative authorship in a general typeface or basic handwriting, and simple geometric shapes are not protected by copyright. This tag does not generally apply to all images of texts. Particular countries can have different legal definition of the “literary work” as the subject of copyright and different courts' interpretation practices. Some countries protect almost every written work, while other countries protect distinctively artistic or scientific texts and databases only. Extent of creativeness, function and length of the text can be relevant. The copyright protection can be limited to the literary form – the included information itself can be excluded from protection.

Legal disclaimer
This image depicts the shahada, the Islamic declaration of faith. Use of this image is permitted and should not be confused with or mistaken for symbols associated with terrorism.

Some versions of the shahada, particularly those used on flags by groups such as al-Qaeda, the Taliban, or the so-called Islamic State, including affiliated organizations, are banned in countries such as Germany, Russia, Austria, the People's Republic of China, and others due to their association with extremist activity.
