The Process of Translating from Arabic into Persian, and Difficulties in Translation of the Quran

The present paper is a report of a dialogue with Dr. Azartash Azarnush, which has been rewritten by himself. It delas with the background of the translation of religious texts, including the Quran, and the type of the translations by earlier translators, especially scholars of the transoxania. Besides, it deals with the role of translation from Arbic into Persian in durability and eloquence of the Arbic literature. Stating some of the difficulties of the Quran's translation and presenting some ways to arrive at a standard translation of the Quran is another topic discussed here. The doctor believes that the standard translation of the Quran calls for a detailed research on the Quranic words, and must be based on the findings of such a research.
