Sword of Allah (or better, Sword of Islam) would probably be
good.  You should be aware that there are different feelings
about this sort of thing within differing Muslim
communities.  For example, one set believes that giving a
boy the name "Mohammed" is improper; one set believes that
it's okay to give him the name but that it ought not to be
used (and they call him by his middle name instead); a third
set feels that it is proper and simply gives him a high
standard to live up to.
