Translation evaluation is one of the methods of criticism that is used to determine the quality level of translated texts. Usually, after the texts have been translated, the editors are evaluating the translated texts. Therefore, the translator of translated texts must have sufficient control in both the source and the target languages so that in addition to editing the target text being able to evaluate it in terms of equivalence. In this research, we are trying to find out, based on the model of the evaluation of the translation of Mrs. Carmen Garces which is designed to assess the translation of literary texts in four levels (lexical, grammatical, discourse, and stylistic) using descriptive and analytical method; we will assess Arabic translation of the message of the leader of the revolution to the pilgrims of Hajj. One of the findings of this paper is that cultural differences between Farsi and Arabic languages and finding appropriate synonyms at vocabulary, and grammatical level based on these differences represent one of the most important challenges in the translation process. Similarly, examples such as adaptation, equivalents, an extension of vocabulary in the target language and using proper and general vocabulary, susceptibility from colloquial language are among most important challenges in this context.

The Holy Quran has a sturdy syntactical, morphological and rhetorical structure. The interpretation process of this heavenly book requires great attention to the syntax and grammar of Arabic language. The letter “Fa” is one of those meaningful letters in Arabic language that has high diversity, and this fact makes it complex for the translators to interpret it into Persian. The Persian translators have proposed “then”, “after that” and “next” as its equivalents, which considering the diversity of this letter seems to be insufficient. The aim of the present study is to conduct a grammatical analysis of how some translators such as Elahi Ghomshei, Fouladvand, and Khorramshahi have translated this letter in Quran into Persian. One of the results that we have reached upon is that these translators have had a satisfactory performance in translating Communicative Fa but have failed to translate Communicative Fa, Appealing Fa, Causal Fa and Excess Fa. As a result, their equivalents for Appeal Fa and Excess Faare incorrect, since this type of Fa shouldn’t be translated at all. Also, in translating Causal Fa, they have not paid due attention to the cause and effect and have not conveyed the causality relation. Furthermore, in translating Communicative Fa, they have only considered the emotional aspect, and have not considered that part of the sentence that has been omitted, and this fact has caused them to go awry in translation.
