One Arabic Word, THREE TRANSLATIONS! Who Decides?

One Arabic expression, three completely different English translations! In Qur'an 18:29, 44:45, and 70:8, the identical Arabic expression كَٱلْمُهْلِ (kal-muhli) is translated as molten brass, murky oil, and molten copper. This short investigates the Quranic Arabic Corpus, Arabic linguistics, and the difference between translation and interpretation. Are readers being given the meaning of the Qur'an, or a translator's preferred interpretation?

How can the same Arabic expression produce three different English substances? Classical Arabic lexicons record multiple meanings for مُهْل, but that raises an important question about translation consistency, linguistic transparency, and contextual interpretation. Through Quranic root analysis, comparative translation, and critical thinking, we examine whether English translations communicate the original Arabic faithfully. The objective is not to deny lexical variation, but to question why particular meanings are selected without clearly explaining the alternatives.
