Abstract
Abstract This paper aims to analyze textual variations between the Holy Quran and its English Translation by Yusuf Ali. It attempts to highlight lexical, syntactic and semantic problems faced while perusing the translation due to lack of equivalence of some cultural words in the target language or some lexicons which are Quran specific and some polysemous words which are interpreted subjectively. This mis-translation results in partial or complete loss of meaning in target language. It is argued that generic features of the texts affect the translators’ decision processes. For the theoretical framework of the literature, literary genres and translation are investigated. The detected items in translated text are examined to unfold the strategies used by the translator in order to solve the problems related to the generic and cultural aspects of the translation. The translator’s ability either to domesticate or foreignize the text is unveiled on the basis of Venuti’s theory. To serve this purpose Yusuf Ali’s English translation of the Quran has been taken.
