The Word “umah” “أمة “in the Holy Quran and Its Translation Into German

Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: The Quran is considered one of the most important divine books for Muslims.It is a book revealed to the Prophet Muhammad that deals with many issues in human society, especially religious issues.Interpreters of the Quran believe that the language of the Quran has such a high level of eloquence, so that no human can write a book similar to the Quran.The rhetoric of the Holy Quran includes the use of words and concepts that at first glance have a general meaning, but in their context have a different meaning.This study is useful in searching for the semantic aspects of a single word, namely the word "Umah" ‫."أمة"‬This word played an important role in expressing many connotations because these connotations can only be achieved through the context in which this word stands.For example, it expresses a single person, but also a group of people or non-humans, etc.Therefore, we believe it is pertinent to conduct a study on this word in the field of translation to find out the following:1. Is it possible to transfer the meaning of this word to the German language?2. Does the German language have a correct equivalent for each meaning of this word?3. What difficulties does the translator have in conveying the true meaning of this word?Through this study we realize how rhetorical this book is and what the interpreters of this book and the opinion of the Orientalists have about its eloquence.
