u King Fahad Complex for the Printing of Glorious Qur'an won the Translation award for institutions. “The Complex won for their great value and quantity of distinguished works of translation it administrates, and funds,” said Saeed Al-Saeed, head of the scientific committee of the award.
“The complex is one of the most prominent establishments that contribute greatly to the translation of the Qur'an, presenting translations into 50 Asian, European and African Languages,” said Saeed.
In addition to their translation efforts, the Complex has also organized a symposium on the different translations of the Qur'an and established a translation center.
The center encompasses a number of specialized units that study and conduct analytical research projects with the intentions of providing more refined translations of the Qur'an and excluding those of lesser quality or of lower precision.
The Center has established a network for translators in different languages and built a comprehensive and easily accessible database for translations of the Qur'an in many languages.
Along with translation and publishing the Holy Qur'an, the Complex also publishes a reference journal of scholarly articles on translations of the Sunnah and related issues.
Saudi professor of technical engineering Abdullah Ibrahim Al-Muhaidib and Egyptian Ahmad Fouad Basha jointly won the award in translations in Natural Science from other languages into Arabic.
Muhaidib won for this translation from English into Arabic Geotechnical Engineering: Soil Mechanics by John N. Cernica. The book presents a detailed study of the physical properties of soil and their effects on soil resistance to loads and soil stability.
