The Middle East has become more critical in the 2010-2015 decade than ever before. This crisis has originated from issues such as the wave of democratization, increasing tensions between regional countries, ISIS and the Syrian crisis.  For this reason, relations as well as alliances and coalitions of regional countries have also undergone a transformation. One of these developments is the relationship between Saudi Arabia and the Zionist regime in recent years. The tactical proximity of Saudi Arabia as the axis of the Arab countries of the region and the Sunni world and the Zionist regime is of special importance. In this regard, we can mention the internal challenges of Saudi Arabia, increasing Iran's regional power, the crisis in Yemen, reducing Saudi regional influence, the Trump administration's pressure on Saudi officials, and so on. Of course, it should be said that the normalization of relations between Saudi Arabia and the Zionist regime is more tactical. Because the relations between the Zionist regime and Saudi Arabia cannot be considered strategic for reasons such as being the center of the Sunni world, Saudi Arabia is the main origin of extremism and anti-Zionist movements, the negative attitude of the Zionist leaders towards the Arab leaders. 

In addition to proposing some characteristics of a good translator, the current study tries to investigate common errors in the translation of the book al-‘Abarāt which are the consequence of incompetency in the source and target languages. This book was translated by Qasem Mokhtari, Mahmoud Dehnavi and Nozar Abbasi. In general, the study comprises two parts. The first part discusses mastery over target language and the resultant errors due to its absence (inappropriate translation with regard to the source text style, structure transition from the source to the target language, inappropriate application of words and expressions, and word order problems), and the second part handles the issue of mastery over the source language and errors occurring due to the lack of mastery over it (wrong translation, deletion, forgery, literal and negative transfer).
