Selected
God, Muammar and Libya, solely!
I'd suggest to render the motto the way it is:
1. "God, Muammar and Libya, solely!"
2. "Nothing but God, Muammar and Libya!"
3. any similar/equivalent combination.
Answers:
1. Use God. Because ALLAH is definitely The God.
2. Keep the name as it is: Muammar.
3. Solely; nothing but.
For your audience, you can add some explanation in the footnotes.
