The Translation Of The Coran: Some Major Problems

Authors : Khalida Kissi .

Abstract

This paper has an attempt to provide a modest reflection upon meaning in the translation of The “Coran” from Arabic to European languages. It would shed light on the impact of translation on meaning, dealing in the same token with the importance of context in meaning translation, and the major difficulties that might hamper this translation.The study would approach a set of verses from different Surates in the Coran taking the dominating religious aspect of the context, and considering the different sub-contexts existing between the lines of verses in relation to different prophetic stories, natural events, social guidance, and many others.
