• Support: This seems like a modest improvement in terms of WP:COMMONNAME. I also suspect that this transliteration is easier to understand for English-speakers, but not sure. Femke Nijsse (talk) 12:06, 29 October 2019 (UTC)

Translation of article title from لفيصل [Al-Faisal Magazine]

@Dr-Taher, FayssalF, FuzzyMagma, MezzoMezzo, and QalasQalas: Would one of you please provide the Arabic title & also translate the Arabic article title into English (trans-title) for this citation? The Google Books link displays images rather than text.
