Abstract

Although the challenges of translating the Quran have been acknowledged to some extent throughout history, and translators have not been entirely unfamiliar with them, the difficulties of rendering Quranic verses into other languages were not a major focus in earlier periods due to the lack of a tradition of translation critique. However, in recent times, a grand movement in all fields of Quranic studies has emerged, bringing special attention to the challenges of translating Quranic verses, and a significant amount of work has been written on this subject. Among these writings is the focus on the errors made by some translators, which have sometimes resulted in incorrect translations. The present article, like the previous one, has been compiled using an analytical-critical approach and examines additional examples.
