Some Linguistic Difficulties in Translating the Holy Quran from Arabic into English
Abstract—This paper identifies the linguistic difficulties in translating the Holy Quran. For Muslims, the Quran is the word of Allah. It contains devotions and instructions that are full of both literal and figurative styles. These figures of speech constitute an obstacle in translating the Quran into English. This article attempts to elaborate some lexical, syntactic and semantic problems and supports the argument with examples of verses from the Quran.
Index Terms—Holy Quran, meanings, problems, translation
