This paper examines the lexical and semantic characteristics of key terminologies used in Islamic studies. By analyzing the etymology, morphological patterns, and semantic shifts of selected terms, the article highlights their theological, legal, and sociocultural dimensions. The study also explores how these terms have evolved across different historical periods and linguistic contexts, while noting the challenges of translation and interpretation in non-Arabic settings. Understanding these features contributes to more precise academic engagement and interreligious dialogue.

Last two decades have seen an increasing interest in approaching literary translation from pragmatic perspective as both pragmatics and translation are concerned with communicative situations. Pragmatic relations in literary translation are superimposed on semantic relations and play an equally important role in analyzing the original text and in producing an equivalent text in the target language. The pragmatic adaption of translation must make it possible for the target receptor to understand the implications of the message and to be aware of its figurative and situational meaning. Pragmatic problems in this article are analyzed applying pragmatic principles such as speech acts, presuppositions, implications, deictic expressions and politeness formulas.
