Abstract
The translation of the Qur'an is highly sensitive due to its rhetorical and syntactic subtleties and is usually considered as one of the most difficult types of translation. Among these rhetorical subtleties is the emphatic nun, which always comes in the form of a syntactic structure to emphasize the content of the verb or sentence, and in each structure and style, it implies a specific meaning. It is very clear that the translator, knowing such a linguistic phenomenon, has overcome some of the challenges of translating the Qur'an and will not stumble in conveying its exact meaning. Therefore, in this research, in order to understand the semantic function of non-emphasis in the Holy Qur'an and with a descriptive-analytical method and a confrontational approach, the translation process of "non-emphasis" in four Persian translations by Mr. Elahi Qomshaei, Foladvand , Ansarian and Makarem Shirazi from Surah Araf has been criticized. The result of the research showed that there are complications in the category of finding the equivalent of the noun for emphasis in terms of plurality in one verse and some syntactic subtleties, which caused the translation to fail due to lack of accuracy. The most appropriate semantic equivalent of emphatic nun in positive sentences is the emphatic adverb "certainly" and in negative sentences the adverb "never" and among the translators, Ansarian has acted more successfully than the other three translators.
