A Glance at the Quranic Translation by Hadad Adel

Although the history of Quranic translation dates back to one thousand years ago, the translation uprising of Quran which has been going on in the last thirty years is quite promising.Since the first Persian translation of Quran during the 1360s which was done by AbdulMuhammdAyati, several other transactions have been done which have all been influential in taking Quranic translation to an ideal position One of these translations has been done by GholamaliHadad Adel. This translation is neither free nor literal rather it is a conceptual-oriented translation in which the translator has tried to present the concepts of the verses in the form of Persian wordings. Although he has tried to be loyal to the Arabic text, his number one priority has been transferring the meanings to the Persian readers which has led his translation in many cases to be less correspondent to the exact structures of Quran. Among these cases the shift in tenses and verbal structures are very frequent. For this reason, in spite of all the strengths, the translation needs to be revised in many aspects some of which have been mentioned in the present article.
