English term or phrase: Only God is Victorious
What would be the arabic scriptures for this phrase?
Hardknox73
لا غالبَ إلا الله
Explanation:
I am not sure what you mean by "Arabic scriptures." I assume you mean to ask how the expression is written in Arabic script.

I also assume you are asking about the expression that appears inscripted in the Islamic edifices in Granada, such as the famous Alhambra.

If this is the expression, then it is pronounced LA GHALIBA ILLA ALLAH (the GH sounds like the French R). In Arabic script, it looks like this:

لا غالبَ إلا الله

Allah Hoowa Al-naser Al-waheed


Explanation:
Allah: God
Hoowa: is
Al-naser: The victorious
Al-waheed: The only

Of course the grammer differences between Arabic and English and where the words are situated within a sentence is clear in this simple statement.

When speaking of God in Arabic, "Al or El" meaning "The" is usually added to description indicate deep respect. In fact, in Arabic, you never say "God" whithout following it with phrases like "God, the great, the merciful ..etc", then proceeding with whatever you want to say.
