 * Keep. Why would this be deleted? It’s an extremely common Arabic phrase. — LissanX (talk) 21:00, 24 January 2020 (UTC)
 * "I'd like to order the combo" is also a very common phrase, so commonness isn't really a reason to include things in a dictionary.
 * A better reason would be that this is a set phrase with religious and cultural significance that a good Muslim would be expected to know by heart- but most Christians can recite some version of the Lord's Prayer in the same way, as Jews can recite the Shema. Simply being an important part of one's religion (or important, period) doesn't make a text something to include in a dictionary.
 * A dictionary deals with lexical units that can't be broken down into their component parts without losing the meaning (see WT:SOP), so perhaps this would be better at another project. Besides, even if they don't have own entries, there's no reason significant phrases like this can't be used as usage examples in entries for their component words.

 * Is there any actual reason, or are we just doing things arbitrarily? — LissanX (talk) 00:32, 25 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Please read Criteria for inclusion. --Lambiam 11:22, 25 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Similar Arabic entries have been around for over a decade, for example لا إله إلا الله محمد رسول الله. As pointed out below, there are numerous such articles. — LissanX (talk) 03:25, 31 January 2020 (UTC)
