Abstract :

Quran is the first and even the best Arabic classic work. A literary masterpiece full of unique sense. Although the qualitative and quantitative progress of Quran translation could be seen during recent centuries, since the translations were all in prose and with special limitations of the target language, the translations weren't good mirrors to reflect Quran's eloquence and fluency. The present paper compares three existing translations (Ikhlas, Naas, and Falaq) by Muhammad Ali Habib Shakir, Abdullah Yusuf Ali and Muhammad Marmaduke Pickthall in order to study the translation strategies based on Newmark's classification. The aim is to find the most frequent strategy (s) in translation and the most successful one (s) in transferring the correct meaning and concept.
