| Summary: | In this article, an attempt is made to identify the main types of sectarian and ideological bias that are encountered in English-language translations of the Qur'an which have been produced by Muslims. The article covers Shicite interpretations; the enhancement of the Prophet's status associated principally with Barelwis; Ahmadi interpretations; the legacy of Muctazilism; the influence of the scientific rationalism of Sayyid Ahmad Khan; scientific exegesis'; and traditionalist and modernist approaches to the Sharica. Under each of the above headings a selection of key ayas are discussed. Only translations which have a wide circulation are included in this survey, but the, analysis should enable the reader to assess the theological tendency of other translations which are not mentioned. |
