This study investigates whether complementary oppositions (COs) in the Glorious Qur’ān have been accurately translated from Arabic into English. The research is based on Halliday and Hasan's (1976) theory of lexical cohesion, focusing on lexical cohesive devices in three selected translations of COs in Surah Al-An'aam. COs are defined as paired semantic opposites, where the negation of one reinforces the meaning of the other. This qualitative study employs an analytical-documentary method to evaluate the translations. Translators often face challenges, particularly with collocations, as they strive to preserve both meaning and form. The selected theoretical framework by Halliday and Hasan (1976) examines lexical cohesive devices such as repetition, collocations, and sense relations. The primary objective is to assess the lexical coherence of the selected translations and analyze the lexical relationships between English CO equivalents, which function as key cohesive devices. The study uses Arabic CO examples from Seyyedi and Baghojary (2020) alongside their English translations by Arberry (1955), Pickthall (1930), and Qaraa'i (2005), sourced from the online Tanzil Qur’ān Navigator. Findings indicate that Arberry’s translation demonstrates the highest lexical coherence due to its alignment with the Qur’ānic style and frequent use of collocations and contrasting repetition.

This study employs a qualitative methodology, drawing on library and documentary sources to conduct a comparative analysis of the Qur’ānic account of the Companions of the Cave in Surah al-Kahf alongside non-Qur’ānic narratives. The primary aim is to challenge Donner’s assertion that the Qur’ānic story was influenced by popular tales. This research further examines how the motif of the Sleepers of the Cave—a recurring theme in Greek, Jewish, and Christian mythology as well as global folklore—is rendered with unique originality in the Qur’ānic narrative. The Companions of the Cave are not only integrally connected to other narratives within the surah but also harmonize with the broader thematic and theological objectives present in other Qur’ānic chapters, reflecting the historical context and prophetic biography. However, due to the extensive influence of exegetical traditions shaped by Isra'iliyyat (Judeo-Christian sources), some Jewish and Christian elements have permeated Islamic literature despite the Qur’ānic account’s distinctive conciseness and internal coherence. A common motif among these various traditions is the exploration of life, death, and resurrection. Yet, in Surah al-Kahf, this motif is intricately intertwined with fundamental Islamic teachings—particularly monotheism ( tawḥīd ), prophethood ( nubuwwah ), and resurrection ( maʿād )—as well as the central themes of the surah itself. Such thematic unity and depth are notably absent in Jewish and Christian versions of the narrative.

En droit islamique, notamment dans le cadre du droit de la famille, le statut de la femme au sein de la famille et de la société constitue un élément central pour le renforcement ou l'affaiblissement des structures sociales et politiques. Un système démocratique, fondé sur la participation collective et le respect des droits individuels, requiert l'engagement actif et dynamique de toutes les composantes de la société, y compris celui des femmes, dans divers domaines. Les résultats de cette étude révèlent que, selon le droit de la famille en islam, les femmes occupent un rôle essentiel dans l'éducation des enfants conformément aux enseignements religieux et éthiques, ainsi que dans la promotion des valeurs islamiques. Leur contribution peut ainsi favoriser l’émergence d’une culture fondée sur le respect des droits, la justice et la participation sociale. Dans la sphère publique également, le droit de la famille reconnaît la participation des femmes, bien que celle-ci soit encadrée par les principes légitimes édictés par la charia. S'appuyant sur une méthode descriptive et analytique, cet article explore les principes et fondements du droit de la famille en islam afin d’évaluer l’impact de la présence et de la participation féminine sur le renforcement ou l’affaiblissement des systèmes démocratiques. Il analyse en outre les défis et les opportunités liés à leur rôle dans ce cadre.
