“Multi-meaningfulness” referring to several meanings of a word is one of the disputed linguistic principles in the Qur’an, which is divided into two types of Lexical and Syntactic. Assuming the acceptance of this basis, due to the role of translation in conveying the message of the Qur’an, how to apply it in translation becomes important. This research seeks to find the correct way to apply multi-meaningfulness in the translation of the Qur’an and examine some translators’ opinions about its acceptance by the descriptive-analytical method. To translate multi-meaning phrases, several meanings are expressed with the conjunction “and” in order to avoid distortion and semantic loss by considering criteria such as non-conflict of meanings with each other and with definite reasons. Among the translators under review, Meshkini and Makarem have specified the acceptance of “Multi- meaningfulness” as well as Rezaei has applied this basis with different ranges and methods in translation. Safavi does not accept “Multi-meaningfulness” based on Al-Mizan, as well as Moezzi and Fouladvand have never stated several meanings in the translation of a phrase.

One of the crucial issues to help translators understand the Quran is to take the context into consideration in the process of translation. And there is no doubt that, context is of great importance in understanding the speaker's meaning. Accordingly, paying attention to the context in translating the Holy Quran is also necessary since any translation requires the true understanding of the holy verses. Meanwhile, it is very important to specify that which types of translations take the context into consideration. This study reviewed the main types of existing translations of the Quran including literal, faithful, semantic and explanatory translations and reached to this conclusion that among the translations mentioned, explanatory translation is more consistent with the context.

Butthis transition processhas weaknessesdespite theadvantages.Attentionandsensitivityon thismatter or subject is very important in the Holy Quran,becauseitemanates from premier source of matter. One of these weaknesses is seen in semantics and equivalent finding for the word ‘‘Hashr’’ and its derivatives. This articlereviewsandanalysisequivalentofthe mentioned word comprehensively and completely by the analytical method and there is a result that realequivalentofthisword, ‘‘collecting andpushing towards Doomsday’’accompanied with compulsion adverb. Butthiscomprehensive mean has not been met in contemporaryPersian translations such as Ayati, Elahi Ghomshei, Rezaei, Saffarzadeh, Fooladvand, Kavianpoor, Mojtabvi, Meshkini, Mesbahzadeh, Moezzi and Makarem Shirazi, andonlyElahi Ghosheihas noted to it in one case and it is incomplete.
