Black Gold Arabic Sign is Wrong

Just saying and reporting a common issue in PR. The arabic sign Abd Al Iqbal sign is written wrong.

All I don't remember the Iqbal part and whether that was correct or not because I was more concerned that it was a mistake (on a very nice sign).

Transliterated (assuming the iqbal part is written in the same incorrect manner as the previous words) the sign would actually say:

Db' La Labqi

Which to my knowledge means: *nothing/No word* No *form of alcohol/fermentation*

When it is supposed to read

'bd Al Iqbal

Which to my knowledge means: Slave of the Fortunate.

Which technically doesn't really make much sense because 'bd linguistically is a prefix for a persons name or prefix for a name/attribute of god in Arabic.

As such slave of the fortunate? Who is the fortunate? What is the fortunate?

Perhaps I'm thinking about it too much.

Chinese troops are fighting Russian speaking insurgents of Kaukasus origin(judging by their accents) in a Muslim region which belongs to China. Nothing here makes sense so just forget about that sign. :D
