When translating from a non-Western script there can be many "right ways" depending on which Romanisation system is being used. It's not just Arabic, there are multiple ways of Romanising Chinese and Japanese for example, and the preferred system can change over time, hence koran/quran/qu'ran and moslem/muslim.
