| Abstract This study aims at investigating how some translators of the meaning of the Glorious Qur’an deal with antonymy. It also aims at reviewing many different types of antonymy in the Glorious Qur’an, and how some translators rendered this relation. Among the aims of this study is investigating how far the translators are accurate in rendering antonyms based upon the context and the interpretive meaning. This study hypothesizes that antonyms are context-bound, and they create problems in translation. Antonymy is a rhetorical aesthetic device, which has not given a due attention by the Glorious Qur’an translators. We conclude that antonymy plays an important role in language use. The English language differs from the Arabic one in its degree or number of antonymous words; it has many more. Some of them are concerned with rendering antonyms, irrespective of their parts of speech. | ||
