“…However, the study also reported that religious ideology could not always affect the translation of the Al-Qur'an text. It was proved by Arberry and Dawood's translations as Christian and Jewish Quranic translators, who did not include their ideologies in the text of the translation of the Al-Qur'an (Bayri, 2019). Additionally, Al-Khatib (2018) reported that the ideological views of translators might affect the meaning of the translated verses.…”

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.

“…To the best knowledge of the researchers, up to date, there is only one study that introduces the "realm of sociology" into Quranic Studies. Bayri (2019) investigates the historical, cultural, and socio-political conditions under which Asad's habitus (i.e., dispositions) is structured, and in turn, structuring his translation of TheQuran. As a convert to Islam, Asad has two classes of habitus: the first one acquired among Europeans, and the second in an Islamic milieu.…”

This paper argued for a fresh understanding of Pickthall’s The Meaning of the Glorious Koran: An Explanatory Translation (1930) in light of Bourdieu’s sociological work. The main objective of this study was to develop an initial sociological model for understanding the production of Pickthall’s English translation of the meaning of the Holy Quran. By hypothesizing a field which could be called ‘the field of English translations of the meaning of the Holy Quran’, the researchers aspired to understand the dynamics of this field and its structure through delineating the socio-cultural and socio-political forces. After conducting an analysis at the macro level, the researchers analyzed the paratextual elements of the translation, the data of which represent the starting point for Bourdieusian insights into the production of Pickthall’s translation. The findings revealed that Pickthall’s capitalization is evident in the paratextual zone to secure his position within the field in question. The study concluded that Pickthall’s is a social activity, situated in a social space, and carried out by translating agents, both individuals and organizations, who are in a ceaseless struggle over accumulating capital at stake in the field.
