‘Lâmu’l-Âkibe’ in Arabic Language and its Reflection on Turkish Translation of Quran

The letter ‘lam’ in Arabic language is one of the letters which has a large meaning spectrum. The term ‘Lamu’l Akibe’, which reflects one of these meanings, is used as the cause of the primary verb, usually with the intention of putting forward the unwanted and dispensable results with a different manner. The preposition mentioned with different names in the sources has not completely been reflected in Quran translation apart from some limited basic examples. This preposition, which appears in ‘Lâmu’l-ille’, ‘lâmu’l-garaz’ and ‘key’ meanings, comes to a state of truly meaningless in the translation of some verses of Quran. In this study, eleven example verses in more than fifty different translations have been inspected in the frame of related preposition.
