El-Aqsa as a Billboard

Here:-



Such holy site respect.

What the sign reads is
 
 " غدا سنطهر الأقصى ونعلي لواء الحق يسطع كالشهاب ."
 
 
Google Translate will give me only this:
 
 
"Tomorrow Far سنطهر and bathrobe the right shines Kalshhab Brigade."
 
 
I am at a linguistic loss.

"far" is just the name of the mosque, al-Aqsa. The full name in Arabic is al-masjid al-aqsa = "the farthest mosque". And "bathrobe" also means "uphold". Unfortunately I don't know what the mystery word is.
