مفهوم الجهاد في ترجمة أوري روبين العبرية لمعاني القرآن الكريم

الملخص EN

Israeli Orientalists were generally concerned with the study of the Arab state of things, politically historically, and socially.

As regards the religious side, it was especially in focus, where some of such orientalists concentrated on the translation of the Ever-Glorious Qur'an into Hebrew, not only as a divine text but also for its inimitable eloquence.

Besides, it holds some beliefs that would threaten the Jewish existence; as such, it is a source of concern to the Israelis.

The Ever-Glorious Qur'an urges Muslims to adhere to their religion, defend their native lands, and not to attack those who are peaceful.

Jihad in Islam, is a kind of counter-attack, to repel enemies and stop their aggression.

Likewise, it might be the case that those who are on the verge of attacking Muslims will be attacked in anticipation.

Jihad in Islam has some morals that must be followed: women, children, aged men should not be killed; and general manners are not to be violated even if they were violated by the enemy.

Actually, Jihad is a collective duty that Muslims should be fully prepared to; It is only individual duty when enemies attack Muslim inlands.

However, Jewish Orientalists distorted the meaning of Jihad, confusing it with terrorism, in order to raise doubt about the Ever-Glorious Qur'an; This, in turn, resulted in the rise of the so-called Islamophobia.

The researcher conducts the present study on Uri's viewpoint of Jihad in his Hebrew translation of the Ever-Glorious Qur'an.

Conclusions of the study: -The inimitability of the Qur'anic text and its thorough meanings should be approached by an enlightened sharp-minded translator; otherwise, he would make fatal mistakes because of misunderstanding or misinterpretation.

- Rubin failed to achieve a proper translation of the Qur'an, neither in form nor in content, since he was not honest in conveying the clean-cut image, or at least the rough one, if we were to make allowance for him approaching a divine and inimitable text.
