LessonsAuxiliary and Speculative Sciences: Narrative Interpretation, the Five Sciences, Translation, and Qur’anic PropertiesQuiz

The third subject concerns translation of the Qur’an into Persian. A Persian translation is mentioned that aims to remain closely aligned with the Arabic text; it is named Fatḥ al-Raḥmān fī Tarjamat al-Qurʾān.

The Arabic Qur’an is the authoritative source text, while its translation is a human effort to communicate meaning in another language. A translator therefore needs more than vocabulary: syntactic structure, general and specific expressions, pronoun references, and interpretive context all matter.

The measure of success is faithful and intelligible communication of meaning, not merely a mechanical one-word replacement for every Arabic word.
