What is the correct distinction between translating Qur’anic meaning and reciting the Arabic Qur’an?
The Uncreated Qur’an: Divine Speech, Wording, Meaning and Attribution
- Translation necessarily preserves the original Arabic arrangement as well as meaning
- Translation can convey meaning without replacing the original Arabic wording
- Translation cannot convey any meaning
- A semantic translation becomes identical to the mass-transmitted Arabic wording
