This research aims at diagnosing certain Quranic- Specific Phrases that have cultural background from English into Arabic. As such, the researchers put tremendous effort to highlight the influence of culture on the translation of the Quran. The procedures proposed by Vladimir Ivir (1987) have been adopted in this study to compare the original text (the Holy Quran) and the source texts (three English translated versions by Sahih, Mohsan and Youcif Ali). The researchers randomly choose 20 QuranicSpecific Phrases from the Quran. Furthermore, to make things better, the researchers use analytical-content paper to get accurate results about the subject matter of this study. Finally, the procedures that have been employed by the translators as well as the findings of this research have been compared and contrasted.

Linguistics is a diverse discipline that includes a conglomeration of studies from a collection of disciplines. These studies assist in giving directions and guidance on how grammatical rules should be applied. The English language requires that all rules and principles be followed to the letter in order to communicate effectively. Among the principles observed is the end-weight principle. This principle ensures that sentences are well structured and organized in such a manner that learners and audiences find it easy to grasp the meaning, and communicate with ease. This paper focuses on the application, usefulness, and validity of this principle. In addition, this paper will assess how this principle has been used over time, and the way the English language has evolved. This review has found that this principle is not fully applicable in informal communication and in scientific papers. Additionally, strict application of this principle in the translation of texts leads to alteration of the original message. Moreover, translated texts appear to sound less appropriate, especially if this principle was not originally applied. Another area where this principle is not applicable is in question formation, and in music composition. This review finally advocates for research to assess the areas where this principle is applicable.
