This point, then, is one whose benefits extend to the sciences of Names and Languages, to the principles of doctrine, to jurisprudence, and to the study of translating languages. Moreover, it has never been the case in common usage that a single language—or even a single word—should be pronounced by all its speakers in one uniform manner, free of any variation. If the intended purpose is nonetheless achieved through all those different pronunciations, the same holds true for a single meaning: although languages differ, the core intent can still be conveyed through translation, and thus it is with meanings as well, for translation deals with both wording and sense. For this very reason the early Muslims called Ibn ʿAbbās the *turjumān al-Qurʾān* (Interpreter of the Qur’an), for he would translate its wording.
