relevant syntactic structures which is the nearest to
the Qur'an’s original coding, by analyzing Chapter

and Samira Ahmed; The Meaning of the Holy
Qur’an, by Abdullah Yusuf Ali; The Koran
Interpreted, by Arthur J. Arberry; The Glorious
Qur'an, by Marmaduke Pickthall; The Message - A
Translation of the Glorious Qur'an, by Progressive
Muslims; The Qur'an With a Phrase-by-Phrase, by
Seyyid Ali Quli Qarai).
The findings can develop a professional look to
the field of translation of the Qur'an.
