The Role Of Translation In Spreading Islam In English-speaking Societies Through Social Media

Abstract

This study aims to explore the pivotal role of translation, with a particular focus on the translation of the Quran into various world languages—especially English—in the dissemination of Islam across English-speaking societies. It examines how social media platforms have become instrumental in presenting Islam, broadening its reach, and addressing misconceptions and fears propagated by Western media. These platforms predominantly use English as a medium of communication, often employing subtitling to translate spoken content into other languages, thereby enhancing accessibility and fostering cross-cultural understanding.
