The Development al-Quran Translation Practices in Malaysia: A Contrastive Study

Abstract

The phenomena in translation of the al-Quran have occurred for a long time through the efforts and determination of Malay scholars who returned from the Middle East in particular. The initial phase of the translation is done to give a basic understanding of Islam to Muslims such as understanding the meaning of prayer recitation, short prayers, daily brief remembrance and daily wirid in order to help to perform worship with more devotion. Therefore, this study was conducted to find out the phenomenon and history of al-Quran translation in Malaysia and issues related to al-Quran translation such selected translation works, translator background, translation history and translation approach used. The research method used is a qualitative approach and textual analysis of two works of translation of the Qur'an selected based on its unique and special characteristics. This study shows that these two selected works have some differences in terms of translators, history and translation approaches. This is due to the elements of classical and modern translation, each of which highlights its own translation value.
