When dealing with any Islamic text in English, it is absolutely crucial to use the most accurate 

Arabic translation, in order to reflect the true intended meaning of the text. 

Not only is an incorrect translation completely irresponsible and misleading, but it actually removes the implication of the original statement by misquoting the one who said it.

 Using such types of translations makes it very easy for a person to prove their point, regardless of what the truth is.
