Abstract (EN)

In this study, which consists of an introduction and two parts, we aimed to present examples of extreme interpretations in recent translations. In the introduction, we tried to reveal the subject, importance, sources and method of the study. In the first part, we explained the concept of translation and meaning, the history of translation of the Qur'an, in particular the historical adventure of the Turkish translations of the Qur'an, and why the interpretations in the translations were considered excessive, and we gave information about the reasons for the errors in the translations in question. In the second part, we discussed the views that can be interpreted as excessive in sixteen translations that are the subject of our study, and then we made brief evaluations about the comments in question. We saw that the verses of the Qur'an were subjected to new interpretations in the translations mentioned, and that these interpretations were made for the purpose of understanding religion only through the Qur'an, by disabling the prophet/sunnah or tradition. It was stated that some of the issues mentioned in the Qur'an were misunderstood and did not fit the age, and new interpretations were introduced. For example, there are interpretations in the Qur'an that there is no headscarf, that interest and alcohol are not prohibited, and that there is no hand cut off as a punishment for theft. Since we saw that most of the translations in question were easily delivered to people through social media and some of them free of charge, we aimed to raise awareness on this issue by revealing the extreme comments in the aforementioned translations. However, we saw that not all of the translations in question contain comments that are considered excessive, and we have included some of them in our study both for the reader to compare and because they are suitable for the methodology of the study. Finally, we made a general assessment about the comments that are considered excessive in the translations that should be written in order to meet the need to explain the Qur'an to people who do not know Arabic. Key Words: Qur'an, İnterpretation, Turkish İnterpretation, Meaning, Comment, Extreme Comment
