Can someone translate the writing on the wall? Thank You.

The caption of the image reads:
A Canadian soldier from the NATO-led coalition walks through the village of Hajano Kali in Arghandab district, southern Afghanistan July 9, 2007. Canada is financing the rebuilding of a war-damaged mosque in the village as part of its Provincial Reconstruction Team (PRT) mandate, aimed at winning the 'hearts and minds' of Afghan civilians.

A rough transliteration of the sounds: masjid sharif

Mosque Sharif, or more appropriately, holy mosque.
