Keywords: Holy Qur'an; Islam; translation; Shari'ah;
Summary/Abstract: This text represents a foreword to the translation of the Qur'an into Romany language currently in preparation for printing. The author examines the phenomenon of the Qur'an translation, approach to the Qur'an and its unattainability in terms of its style and, in particular, its semantics. The goal of this foreword is to instruct people on how to approach the Holy Qur'an. The author compiled the instruction on understanding the Holy Qur'an, in particular, understanding verses concerning specific reasons for revelation. It also instructs on how to understand verses relating to legal regulations that comprise the Shari'ah. Shari'ah is under particular attack today by the representatives of the rigid secularism. The goal of this text is also to protect the reader of the translations of the Holy Qur'an from going astray as well as from the contemporary media, orientalistic and diplomatic Islamophobia.
