  • Mistranslations of the Prophets' Names in the Holy Quran: a Critical Evaluation of Two Translations
    Journal of Education and Practice www.iiste.org ISSN 2222-1735 (Paper) ISSN 2222-288X (Online) Vol.8, No.2, 2017 Mistranslations of the Prophets' Names in the Holy Quran: A Critical Evaluation of Two Translations Izzeddin M. I. Issa Dept. of English & Translation, Jadara University, PO box 733, Irbid, Jordan Abstract This study is devoted to discuss the renditions of the prophets' names in the Holy Quran due to the authority of the religious text where they reappear, the significance of the figures who carry them, the fact that they exist in many languages, and the fact that the Holy Quran addresses all mankind. The data are drawn from two translations of the Holy Quran by Ali (1964), and Al-Hilali and Khan (1993). It examines the renditions of the twenty five prophets' names with reference to translation strategies in this respect, showing that Ali confused the conveyance of six names whereas Al-Hilali and Khan confused the conveyance of four names. Discussion has been raised thereupon to present the correct rendition according to English dictionaries and encyclopedias in addition to versions of the Bible which add a historical perspective to the study. Keywords: Mistranslation, Prophets, Religious, Al-Hilali, Khan. 1. Introduction In Prophets’ names comprise a significant part of people's names which in turn constitutes a main subdivision of proper nouns which include in addition to people's names the names of countries, places, months, days, holidays etc. In terms of translation, many translators opt for transliterating proper names thinking that transliteration is a straightforward process depending on an idea deeply rooted in many people's minds that proper nouns are never translated or that the translation of proper names is as Vermes (2003:17) states "a simple automatic process of transference from one language to another." However, in the real world the issue is different viz.

  • Jonah and Becoming a Prophet for Worker Justice
    1 Trinity United Methodist Church, Sarah Smoot guest preaching from ICWJ, 01-25-2015 Scripture Reading: Jonah 2:10-3:10 (New Revised Standard Version) Responsive Prayer, adapted from Jonah 2: I called to the Lord in my distress, and he answered. I cried from the belly of Sheol, and you heard my voice. You cast me into the deep, into the heart of the sea, And the flood surrounded me. All your waves passed over me. Then I said, "I am driven from your sight. How will I return to see your holy temple?" The waters closed over me. The deep surrounded me. I was cut off forever. Yet, O Lord my God, You lifted my life from the pit. While my life slipped away I remembered the Lord, and my prayer rose to your holy temple. With cries of thanksgiving i will sacrifice to you. Deliverance belongs to the Lord! Amen Song for Reflection: Wonderful Things, Ryan Corn, played & sung by Tyler Smoot https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ac9mRT9aoLA Disclaimers before preaching: ICWJ = Interfaith Coalition for Worker Justice When I use the word “enemy,” I am remembering Jesus’ call that we love our enemies 2 ICWJ is a non-partisan organization. The issues of worker justice are bigger than any one politician or political party. When I mention the government in this sermon, I am not advocating or disparaging any particular party. Sermon: Jonah What did God say to the fish? God spoke to the fish, and the fish spewed Jonah out upon the dry land. If the fish is anything like Jonah we can suppose that God said to the fish, “Look, fish, whatever you do, do not let Jonah go.

  • Novena to St. Joachim and St. Anne
    Saints Anne & Joachim ach year the Church venerates the memory of Saints Anne & Joachim Eon July 26th. An ancient story dating to the first centuries of the Church’s life recalls how Saints Anne & Joachim, like Abraham and Sarah, were scorned by their neighbors because they had no children. Years of longing did not weaken their trust in God, but grief eventually drove Saint Joachim into the wilderness to fast and pray. Saint Anne, remaining at home, dressed in mourning clothes and wept because she had no child of her own. Seeing her mistress distressed, a servant girl reminded Anne to put her trust in God. Saint Anne washed her face, put on her bridal clothes and went to a garden to plead with God for a child. Angels appeared to Saint Anne in her garden and Saint Joachim in the desert, promis- ing that, despite their old age, they would give birth to a child who would be known throughout the world. The new parents ran to meet one another at Jerusalem’s Golden Gate, and with a kiss rejoiced in the new life which God had promised would be theirs. Saints Anne and Joachim are powerful intercessors for all married couples, expectant mothers and married couples who are having difficulty conceiving, as well as all who have grown old. About the Mosaic The art of mosaic dates back some five thousand years to ancient Babylon. The mosaic of Saints Anne and Joachim, depicted on the cover of this novena, was made of an Italian glass called smalti. Its intentionally uneven surface makes it highly reflective.
