Obviously, the term (المجاز) has been given significant attention by Arab traditional scholars as well as modern scholars, especially those involved in semantic fields. There are several terms attributed to (المجاز) such as (المعاني المجازية ), (التعابير المجازية) and (الدلالة المجازية) until they are almost considered as having different concepts. As figurative meaning is a linguistic phenomenon that transcends its literal meaning, its translation is regarded as one of the crucial problems in conveying accurate meaning from one language to another. It is often difficult to ensure precise translation for figurative meaning due to its relationship with cultural, social, and semantic factors, in addition to people of a particular community who usually look at things from their own perspective. As a result, the translator will sometimes choose certain translation methods to overcome the problem of interpreting and clarifying the intended meaning of the source text. This paper studies Quranic texts translated into the Malay language and then analyzes them to discover the effectiveness of the translation method used. This study employs descriptive, analytical, and comparative methods on selected Quranic translations in the Malay language by Mahmoud Yunus, Abdullah Basmeih, and Zaini Dahlan. The findings show that these translators sometimes change the form of Quranic metonymy and metaphor to simile in the target language to create a cultural adaptation. This surely confirms that the method of translating metaphor into simile has contributed towards bringing the closest meaning, but this method is rarely used.
