HAJI ABDULLAH AL-QARI HAJI SALLEH (AQHAS) AND HIS CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE FIELD OF TRANSLATION IN MALAYSIA
Haji Abdullah Al-Qari Haji Salleh (AQHAS) dan Sumbangannya dalam Bidang Terjemahan di Malaysia
Abstract
Haji Abdullah Al-Qari bin Haji Salleh was a religious scholar who authored 350 published works covering various fields such as Usuluddin, Syariah, Tasawuf, Tarbiyah, and others before his passing. At the same time, there remain 153 of his works that have yet to be published. As a religious teacher, writer, translator, and prolific Islamic scholar, he was awarded an Honorary Doctorate in Islamic Studies during the 55th Convocation Ceremony of the University of Malaya. This study aims to examine the contributions of Haji Abdullah Al-Qari, also known by his pen-name AQHAS, in the field of translation, particularly in enriching the corpus of Islamic knowledge in Malaysia and identifying the impact of his works on intellectual development in society. The study adopts a qualitative approach using document analysis of relevant texts. Data was also obtained through interviews, with Haji Abdullah al-Qari himself. The findings of this study clearly highlight the history and objectives of his involvement in the field of translation. The study also reveals the initial steps he took before embarking on the translation process. The implications of this study indicate that AQHAS’s contributions to translation not only strengthened religious understanding among the community but also served as an inspiration for a new generation of translators. This study emphasizes the importance of translation as a medium for knowledge dissemination and calls for greater efforts to recognize translation figures like AQHAS in Malaysia’s academic landscape
