58 Dawood's statement informs his readers that he has provided explanatory footnotes in order to avoid turning the text into an interpretation rather than a translation. This could have been improved by adding possible meanings of homonymous terms so as to lessen the probability of delivering the reader a different message than the intended one. Adopting this commitment would not probably be considered a violation of the rules he has set for himself, in that his translation is dedicated to general English readers rather than being a complex translation. Moreover, the researcher suggests that homonyms should be pointed at and studied closely in translation and Islamic studies departments.
Having examined four translations of a selected number of homonyms, we can safely conclude that the translation by King Fahd Complex seems to be occasionally more sensitive to the other meanings of the homonyms in question than the other translations.
Obviously, this is the result of the approach followed by the Complex, which relies neither on a single translation nor a single translator to take care of this extremely sensitive task.
The lesson to be learned from all of this is that, with Quranic homonyms, which are always a source of ambiguity, maximum care must be taken in order to approximate the original message. Procedurally, the inclusion of paratexts, such as footnotes, detailed annotations, or parenthetical interpolations is a recommended corrective measure.
Further research should be done on other samples of Quran homonyms. Studies on hermeneutics in the Quran will certainly add more knowledge for translators and all of those interested in the field. Further studies on polysemy and ambiguity in the Holy Quran will be instrumental, as they will be considered eye-openers for translators and all of those
59 working in the field of translation. Also important is the vital role of inter-textuality, which might be linked to similar researches and studies in the same area of interest.
