Dear Lamia,
 
I suggest the Arabic Unified Transliteration (AUT) at the adress :
http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Utilisateur:Qalandariyy/Translitt%C3%A9ration_arabe_unifi%C3%A9e
 
It can be easily read by Arabic as well as non-Arabic speakers ...
 
In addition, the author gives a comparaison of about ten different transliteration systems...
 
NB: The paper is written in French

	I wholeheartedly agree with Eric: Buckwalter transliteration is 
	usually not appropriate for a published paper because only a 
	handful of people working in Arabic NLP can read it fluently. The 
	appropriate transliteration or transcription depends on the 
	expected audience -- Arabists/Orientalists would probably be more 
	comfortable reading a ZDMG-style transcription, whereas general 
	linguists would probably prefer one based on IPA. The following 
	page has a table comparing the two:
