  • 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.

  • Tafsīr Surah Al-Kafirun
    Tafsīr Surah al-Kafirun By Haider Hobbollah Transcribed and translated by Syed Ali Imran (Canada) Names, Reasons of Revelation The chapter has been referred to in three ways in Islamic works: 1. Surah al-Kāfirūn 2. Surah al-Juḥd – since Juḥd means rejection, this name was probably given due to the rejection that appears in the later verses 3. Surah al-Muqashqisha – some have called both this and Surah Ikhlās together as al-Muqashqishatān. Qashqasha means to sweep away and abandon something, and the chapter is given this name because of the rejection (barā’ah) mentioned in the verses. A group of disbelievers in Makkah, including al-Ḥārith b. Qays al-Sahmī, al-‘Āṣ b. Wā’il, al-Walīd b. Mughīrah, Umayyah b. Khalaf and others, came to the Prophet (p) and said to him, why do you not worship what we worship, and we will worship what you worship for a time period, after which we will see whose god and worship is better, who sees the results of their worship soon after. If your god and worship are better then that will be a moment of pride for the Quraysh and we will take a share of it, but if you (p) find that our gods and worship are better then you shall take a share of it. As per historical reports, the Prophet (p) rejected their offer. This chapter was revealed and the Prophet (p) left the Masjid al-Ḥarām and recited it in front of the people. This is the popular report describing the reasons for the chapter’s revelation, both in Sunnī and Shī’ī texts, the latter works including traditions from the Ahl al-Bayt (a) as well.

  • Tafseer Surah Al-Fil Notes on Nouman Ali Khan’S Concise Commentary of the Quran
    (اﻟﻔﯿﻞ) Tafseer Surah al-Fil Notes on Nouman Ali Khan’s Concise Commentary of the Quran By Rameez Abid Introduction ● This surah is in reference to the story of Abraha, who was a Christian military leader and part of the Roman empire, and it took place before the birth of the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh). He built a huge church and wanted the Arabs to venerate it instead of the Ka’ba. He also wanted to do this for financial reasons because due to the Ka’ba, Mecca was a center for business and he wanted to shift the financial attention to his own region in Yemen ○ Some Arabs went to his new church and defecated in it to insult him for trying to take attention away from the Ka’ba. Abraha was furious and decided to take an army of 60,000, which would consist of elephants as well, to Mecca to destroy the Ka’ba in vengeance ■ However, when he got close to the Ka’ba with his army, Allah destroyed them by sending birds who pelted them with stones ○ Some suggest this was the year in which the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) was born ● Some of the companions viewed this surah and the one after it (Surah al-Quraysh) as one surah. They would not put Basmallah between them for that reason ○ They both need to be understood together because they complement each other and are connected ■ This surah discusses the security of Mecca and Surah al-Quraysh discusses its prosperity. For any society to prosper, it needs both of these things ○ We need to understand that the safety and prosperity of Mecca was due to the supplication of Ibrahim (pbuh), which he made when he was building the Ka’ba with his son Ismaeel (pbuh) ■ He had asked Allah to make Mecca safe and fill it with all kinds of fruit because it was a barren desert without life.

  • The Central Islamic Lands
    77 THEME The Central Islamic 4 Lands AS we enter the twenty-first century, there are over 1 billion Muslims living in all parts of the world. They are citizens of different nations, speak different languages, and dress differently. The processes by which they became Muslims were varied, and so were the circumstances in which they went their separate ways. Yet, the Islamic community has its roots in a more unified past which unfolded roughly 1,400 years ago in the Arabian peninsula. In this chapter we are going to read about the rise of Islam and its expansion over a vast territory extending from Egypt to Afghanistan, the core area of Islamic civilisation from 600 to 1200. In these centuries, Islamic society exhibited multiple political and cultural patterns. The term Islamic is used here not only in its purely religious sense but also for the overall society and culture historically associated with Islam. In this society not everything that was happening originated directly from religion, but it took place in a society where Muslims and their faith were recognised as socially dominant. Non-Muslims always formed an integral, if subordinate, part of this society as did Jews in Christendom. Our understanding of the history of the central Islamic lands between 600 and 1200 is based on chronicles or tawarikh (which narrate events in order of time) and semi-historical works, such as biographies (sira), records of the sayings and doings of the Prophet (hadith) and commentaries on the Quran (tafsir). The material from which these works were produced was a large collection of eyewitness reports (akhbar) transmitted over a period of time either orally or on paper.

  • Bridge Building Among Communities Speech by Dr Muhammad Abdul Bari, SG MCB 4Th December 2006, Derby
    Interfaith Work: Bridge Building Among Communities Speech by Dr Muhammad Abdul Bari, SG MCB 4th December 2006, Derby Assalamu Alaykum, I greet you with the Muslim greeting of Peace Be Upon You. I would like to begin by recounting a story from history, of one Jafar ibn Abi Talib who with his wife was among the first people to accept Islam. The Quraysh tribe made life intolerable for them both and for their brethren in faith. They tried to obstruct them from observing or performing the duties and rites of Islam. They prevented them from tasting the full sweetness of worship undisturbed. The Quraysh waylaid them at every turn and severely restricted their freedom of movement. To seek refuge, a group left Makkah bound for Abyssinia under the care and protection of the Negus, the just and righteous ruler of Abyssinia, a devout Christian. For the first time since they had become Muslims, they savoured the taste of freedom and security and enjoyed the sweetness of worship undisturbed.
