English Abstract
The aim of this study is to investigate how the issue of structural ambiguity is treated by some famous commentaries on the Holy Quran and the translations of the meaning into English.
The main concern of the researcher is to focus on some ambiguous structures in the Holy Quran which are considered ambiguous by some commentators because their contexts can convey more than one meaning.
The researcher also depends and comments on three English translations of the Holy Quran depending on some famous commentaries.
It turns out that, it is impossible to translate the Holy Quran because translation carries only the translator’s point of view.
Moreover, it is a well-known fact that the Holy Quran is a miraculous text; in its words, structure and meaning.
Even in Arabic, it is not easy for any Arabic native speaker to understand and to account for all possible readings and meanings of the Holy Quran.
If this is the situation, what would we say about translating the Holy Quran? Generally, while reading some translations of the Holy Quran, we feel that we are reading a completely different thing and we are submitting to the translator’s view of a particular verse.
