As with Hebrew (biblical and modern) the
B' (the B together with the following apostrophe) denote 'of' -- so one proper English transliteration of 'Party of God' would be 'Hez B'Allah'
Interesting stuff, this transliteration business. I am surprised by how close modern Arabic and Hebrew remain, having derived from the same mother tongue thousands of years ago.
