“…In another study, Bakhit 2022) described emphatic particles in Arabic, in general, and in the Holy Quran, in particular such as ‫إن‬ Enna, ‫أن‬ Anna, ‫الابتداء‬ ‫لام‬ Lam for starting, ‫السين‬ seen, ‫سوف‬ Sawfa, ‫التوكيد‬ ‫نون‬ noon for emphasis, ‫القسم‬ ‫لام‬ Lam that fall into the answer to the oath, and ‫قد‬ qad in some Qur'anic verses 2 .

Verses of impossibility are those that refer to events that can never or rarely happen, tasks that are difficult or impossible to perform, people or things that are of no use, things that are impossible to find or futile efforts. Impossibilities can be classified into logical, physical, causal, nomological, temporary, permanent, partial, total, objective or subjective impossibility. This study sought to analyze verses of impossibility in the Holy Quran, their grammatical structure, rhetorical features, types of questions and conditional, emphatic, and/or negative particles used. Results of the analysis showed two kinds of impossibility (i) those in which Allah challenges the disbelievers and those in which the disbelievers ask the Prophets for what they consider impossible demands. In addition, verses of impossibility in the current study use a combination of grammatical structures and rhetorical devices that mainly contain conditional sentences beginning with conditional particles أن /?an/ (if), لو ,حتى /Hatta:/ (until), لولا /laula:/ (if), negative, imperative, interrogative, and emphatic structures, few modals and rhetorical questions, some metaphors, hyperbole, antitheses and counterfactuals to describe challenges, futile efforts, stubbornness of the disbelievers and their incongruous behavior. They also focus on logical, temporary and permanent impossibilities. Other rhetorical features of the Holy Quran, such as antiphrasis, asyndeton, cadence, chiasmus, epizeuxis, equivoque, isocolon, palindrome, polyptoton, and synecdoche are still open for further investigation by future researchers.

“…Meanwhile, studies of the Qur'an translation from the concepts of transcreation and critical discourse analysis are under-researched. Most of the existing research examines the relationship between Qur'an translation and critical discourse analysis with certain topics such as discourse markers (Mohamed, 2017), ideological attitudes of editors and translators (van der Deijl, 2022), male-female collaborative translation (Haroun, 2022), stylistic variations (Qassem, 2021), multi-emotive irony (Abuisaac et al, 2021), and barriers of intercultural communication (Abuisaac et al, 2023).…”

Despite the growing concerns of research discussing transcreation in translation studies from various perspectives, little empirical evidence reported the transcreation in Quranic translation as a religious sacred text. To fill this void, the present study aims to elucidate Qur'an translation in Indonesia from the perspective of trancreation and critical discourse analysis. The data were collected via observation of translations of Quranic verses which contain transcreation. The findings suggest that Quranic translation as a religious sacred text encompasses extensive transcreation. It took the form of words, phrases, and clauses—units used to create a discourse in upholding Islamic law and exclusivism in Indonesia. The discourse of Sharia law enforcement was attributed to situational, institutional, and social factors. This empirical study implies that transcreation in the sacred text is unavoidable due to the translators' ideology and socio-cultural background differences and creates a metanarrative on the importance of mutual respect, tolerance, and interfaith dialogue.
