Here's the quote from Zelda Wiki:

"In the original version of Ocarina of Time, the Fire Temple's music included a group of men chanting in deep voices. This was removed from later versions of the game by Nintendo due to the fact that it contained Muslim chants. The name of 'Allah' can clearly be heard at one point. Another piece of Arabic that was deciphered was "I bear witness that there is no god but Allah." It was replaced by a MIDI Synthesizer in the remake for later versions."
