More specifically, it is an attempt to reduce the numerous translations of “الظن”” - supposition” in the Glorious Qur’an suggested by Abdullah Yousif Ali into two only depending mainly on the context where it is used.

Before that, a theoretical account of the different meanings of “لظنl” - supposition” in Arabic will be given along with some relevant points related to it.
