Semantics of Quranic Economic Concepts from a Translational View El-Zakat Study Case

This paper aims to discuss the Quranic Economic Concepts from a translational view. The Quranic concepts constitute a special unique glossary that obliges the researcher to deal with these concepts according to the Semantic Fields Theory. This later helps the researcher to maintain position of the concept among its Quranic conceptual field. The Holy Quran deals with the Muslim daily life issues, particularly economy. Transferring The Quran to non-Arabic speakers, the translator of these economic concepts faces difficulties in ensuring the communicational process under the absence of the most appropriate equivalent in the target language. Hence, we conclude that Quranic Semantics is the most efficient approach in rendering the meaning of Zakat at the aim of achieving a better meaningful translation of this concept.
