Abstract
The study sheds light on the importance of being bilingual as well as bi-cultural when translating the Glorious Quran (GQ). This study aims to see how important the duty of the translators is, and how they can play a significant role in conveying the translated Ayahs to be acceptable to the TTs. The study hypothesizes that some translations of the glorious Qur'an may not convey fully the original meaning of GQ (ST), on account of incapable to understand the culture and history of the source text. Then, the present study tries to see if the translators (of selected Glorious Ayahs) succeeded in conveying the gist of the original meaning (GQ) to the TTs. The research follows Venuti’s foreignization. The translated Ayahs are chosen arbitrarily. The outcomes of the study showing that the translators adhere to misinterpretations throughout the process of translation. It is recommended that translators need to take into account the vocabulary, history, culture, and religion of SL so that they can produce a translation that reflects all those features.
