It’s also my understanding that James Hastings didn’t speak Arabic; am I mistaken? Just a suggestion, the next time you comment on a particular topic perhaps you should learn to be always faithful to conducting research.

Arabic is much poorer linguistically than English. Anything that can be expressed in Arabic can be accurately translated into English, even if multiple words must be used to render a conceptual term.

I studied Ancient Greek in college and Ancient Greek is MUCH richer a language than Arabic and I was able to translate 99.9% of the Greek stuff, including major philosophical works, into workable English.
