Problems of Translating the Axiomatic Expressions in the Qur'ân

The current book is an investigation of the problems of translating the embedded meanings of some of the axiomatic structures in the Glorious Qur'ân from a pragmatic and semantic perspectives. The axiomatic expressions are self-evident phrases that need no explanation to be comprehended. They are considered the initiative introductory notions of other concepts and the least mental effort to work them out is not needed. Instances of axiomatics are like when someone says, "I see with my eyes" and "I write with my hands". It is normal and axiomatic that people see with their eyes and write with their hands. Such expressions may seem in everyday language as redundant and aimless, however in the Glorious Qur'ân they have hidden purposes and underlying intentions delivered by Allah to all the human beings and this work attempts to show that. The significance and objectives of this study are to present an overall investigation of this translational problem in order to fill in a lacuna in the field of Qur'ân translation and to help the future Qur'ân translators avoid such mistakes related to axiomatics since nothing is axiomatic or naive in the Qur'ân.
