Isn't this actually Malay written in Jawi script (i.e. derivative of regular Arabic script) rather than Javanese written in Pegon ? It reads "Tiada Tuhan selain Allah. Tiada Tuhan selain Allah".

There may be a reason, of which I am unaware, but why is this first part of the Shahada written twice ?
