This article is about the Arabic word "Allah". For the Islamic view of God, see God in Islam. For other uses, see Allah (disambiguation).
In Arabic calligraphy, the Basmala is the most prevalent motif, even more so than the Shahadah.[citation needed]
In Unicode, the Basmala is encoded as one ligature at codepoint U+FDFD ﷽ in the Arabic Presentation Forms-A block.
