What is written on the tombstone in the mausoleum of Akastan Baba?

The decor of the mausoleum of Akastan Baba (late X - early XI centuries) in Surkhandarya is quite ascetic.

A symbolic tombstone of traditional shape in the form of a truncated prism (chest) was installed inside the mausoleum in 2005. 

The writing style is naskh, the dimensions are 215 ×55 ×45 cm, the texts are exclusively fragments from the Koran, but historical data related to the personality of Akastan Baba are not given in them.

In particular, a fragment from the Koran is written on the northern end of the tombstone [3:18 19]:

In the name of Allah the Merciful, the Merciful! Allah testifies that there is no god but Him, and the angels and those with knowledge who are steadfast in justice: there is no god but Him, the Great, the Wise! Indeed, the religion before Allah is Islam – and those who were
given the Scripture dispersed only after knowledge came to them, out of spite among themselves. And if anyone does not believe in the signs of Allah... then Allah is quick in reckoning!
